11. Captain Boomerang
I love Captain Boomerang.
George “Digger†Harkness was skilled with boomerangs. He got a job working for a toy company as a mascot for their attempt to bring back the boomerang. You know, every child’s favorite toy. He decided he could use his boomerang-ing skills to commit crimes very efficiently, but he ran afoul of the Flash.
He never really did very well on that front. I mean, if you can’t see why strapping the Flash to a giant boomerang and shooting it skyward is a bad idea, you might wanna stop supervillaining completely. You just aren’t good at it.
He was enlisted in the Suicide Squad shortly thereafter, and he actually did some good there. Boomer returned to villainy, died, came back, all sortsa stuff. I like Boomer, and because of his role as one of the only Rogues to do some genuine hero stuff, he most certainly deserves a place on this list.
10. Mirror Master
Sam Scudder and Evan McCulloch. Fitting that there would be TWO Mirror Masters.
If I’m picking a favorite, I’d go with McCulloch. Evan was a Scottish merc with a coke habit who took on the Mirror Master persona as cover for his activities as a hired assassin for a group of U.S. government personnel and big businessmen. Evan killed his birth father, whom he’d never met, which plummeted him into a depression. He wound up facing off against his first superhero…Animal Man.
He eventually went toe to toe with the Wally West Flash, and proved himself a worthy successor to the Mirror Master mantle. With the Rogues, he tagged along on numerous adventures, leading him to accidentally kill Bart Allen and get shot into space. He also managed to convince Dr. Light not to sexually assault the defeated heroes after the opening battle of Final Crisis so, like, good work doing the most basically decent thing there, McCulloch.
He’s like if Trainspotting was a supervillain.
