8. The Top

Roscoe Dillon. The Top. Less goofy than he looks, I promise you.

Roscoe loved tops growing up. God, if your child is obsessed with an outmoded toy technology, get him some help, because he’s gonna be a supervillain. He also taught himself to spin around fast enough to deflect bullets. How he did this, I have absolutely no friggin’ clue, but he did it! He also made a buncha weaponized tops because sure, why not. Eventually, he joined the Rogues, and even struck up a romance with Captain Cold’s sister, the Golden Glider.

So around this time, Dillon’s practice of spinning around real fast rearranged his brain and gave him psionic powers. Now, scientifically, the way this works is…uh…*shrugs*…Roscoe died, but he was able to take possession of multiple people to keep himself alive. He grew more and more dangerous, until Barry Allen asked Zatanna to mindwipe Top, and make him a good guy. This worked, and Top used his own mental powers to forcibly reform multiple other Rogues. When Top’s programming was undone, he did the same to the reformed Rogues, until Captain Cold froze and shattered him.

And thus ended the story of The Top.
