Rogues personal photos. Some of these were taken by the Rogues, some were taken by others and they kept it. That photo of them defeated by the Flash was hanging up in their hideout.

Regarding the panel of James and Hartley at James' place, that sure looks like a grinning photo of James next to the sad clown. And I can't be certain that's James on the back cover of the stuntman magazine, but it also looks like him and fits thematically with the panel of him.

The photos of Lisa and Roscoe-in-Henry's-body kind of don't fit here because they were secretly taken by a cop and not something they took themselves, but they're personal moments so I decided to include them. Same with the photo of Mark getting arrested by Julie Jackam; she framed that on her wall for some reason. Was that just a career highlight for her, or did she eventually figure out the identity of Josh's father and keep it because of that?

The Rogues of Earth-93473.

Pied Piper: Hartley Rathaway; he has a magical talking flute with a maleveolent mind of its own. His family was very wealthy a few generations back, but grandparents with no money sense and parents with rather bad luck meant that he grew up poor. (Based on "Pay the Piper", a fanfic I wrote).

Weather Wizard: Dr. Claudio "Clyde" Mardon, a meteorologist whose life and reputation were ruined after he refused to allow his weather wand to be marketed as a weapon to shady private military contractors by Lex Luthor----who promptly launched a smear campaign against him that made it impossible for him to work in his field. He accidentally killed his brother, Marco "Mark" Mardon (after the latter tried to hide out with him while on the run), and ended up going to prison for two years for possession of what was seen as an unlicensed deadly weapon. Much more intelligent and powerful than his main-universe counterpart, and also much more ambitious. He seeks to take over the world so that he can make things "right" and ensure that no one else will have to suffer. Arguably somewhat delusional, but nevertheless incredibly skilled at using his wand. (Based on "Twister", another fanfic.)

Captain Cold: Leonard Snart. He's mostly the same as his main-universe counterpart, but is also the older half-brother of Roscoe "The Top" Dillon; the two of them share the same mother. As such, the two actually get along quite well in this universe, and actually co-founded the Rogues together.

The Top: Roscoe Neyle Dillon. Similar to his main-universe counterpart, although less ambitious and ruthless and even more prone to mental health problems. He's also the younger half-brother of Leonard "Captain Cold" Snart, and the two get along well. He is the boyfriend of ice skater Lisa Star, who is the counterpart of the main-universe Golden Glider. She is not a criminal, as Roscoe has not yet died, and she is not related to Captain Cold in this universe.

The Mirror Walker: Evan McCulloch, age 12. More or less the kid sidekick of the group. He is from Scotland, but ended up in the US when one of Dr. Samuel Joseph Scudder's mirror inventions went wrong. Already traumatized from his experiences in the orphanage where he grew up (basically the same ones as experienced by his main-universe counterpart), Evan reacted to his sudden teleportation to another country by panicking, grabbing some of Dr. Scudder's mirror technology, and then disappearing into the Mirror Realm. He used this technology to steal to survive, and was eventually taken in/forcibly attached himself to the Rogues.

Notably, Dr. Samuel Scudder is not a criminal, and is in fact a friend of the Flash (Barry Allen).

The Trickster: Jenette Jesse. Basically the same as her main-universe counterpart, just a woman. Naturally, she uses her status as "a girl" to her advantage whenever she can.

Captain Boomerang: George "Digger" Wiggins. The son of W. W. and Betty Wiggins. Unlike his main-universe counterpart, Digger grew up rich, since his mother married his biological father after divorcing her first husband. He has an Australian accent due to spending half his childhood in a penthouse in Melbourne. He turned to a life of crime partially due to the antics of the Pied Piper's malevolent flute, and partially out of boredom. He and Pied Piper are actually good friends due to the fact that Piper used to work for him.

I mostly did this to get the vibes out of my head and into the world.

Poor baby prolly wont get his own written story but this is the vibe of his origins. 

ALso! I was learning how to do sound editing and I think I did great!

here is a random thought at 4 am:

i wish mark being a metahuman but him also being the only person not admitting it was a thing in the comics. like everyone’s (rogues mostly bc they actually care) aware that he is a metahuman and that he doesn’t really need the wand but they also know how much it scares him-- knowing and admitting are different things and somewhere in the back of his mind mark knows his ‘abilities’ aren’t completely depended on the wand and that he is ‘more’ than what he can do with the wand but it’s what comes after admitting it that scares him. and Yeah that wand is also the last thing has left to mark of Clyde and he clings to his brother’s memory but after a while that becomes more like an excuse to deny the truth.

at first he wasn’t really aware of it himself grieving for his brother didn’t leave much else to think and then in the time he was learning what he was capable of doing with the wand he didn’t realize it then too but of course after a while it became harder and harder to not see what he was really capable of doing. 

he knows rogues know too but it doesn’t bother him. because he knows they also understand. and because by the time rogues figured it out they already had that bond between them.

i can go on with this for longer but yeah i believe that mark has always been a metahuman. and i believe in metahuman mark mardon supremacy

Blurt #38: Rob a bank - By Confetti is definitely a song Leonard Snart would listen to while robbing a bank.
