The second Flash had a wide array of colorful villains who frequently matched wits with the Scarlet Speedster individually. However, it wasn't until Captain Cold and Trickster escaped prison on the same day to commit the same crime, the robbery of a charity function sponsored by the Picture News, that any of them ever worked together. Although they initially had no intention of combining forces, they found that they made a good team, especially since they were facing not only one, but two Flashes, as Jay Garrick had briefly come out of retirement. Although the two were able to elude capture initially, they were eventually lured into a trap by the two speedsters, playing on their desire for wealth.[1] Thus began a series of frequent partnerships among the Flash's foes, who would come to be known as the Rogues Gallery. Barry Allen has even admitted that the Rogues are formidable.[2] Wally West has also confirmed that the Rogues are organized and not idiotic, revealing that Batman Villains work on a different cerebral level than them.[3] Throughout their battles with the Flash over the years, they always improved, thus becoming smarter, more clever and better villains.[4]
