Accepted Real Name: Leonard Snart Code name: Captain Cold Prison Inmate #: 742 Appearance: History: Leonard Snart was born to a rather poor family on the outskirts of Central City. His father was an abusive drunkard who lost his role in the police force due to police brutality and rampant racism. He constantly beat Leonard, his sister and their mother. In fact, the only good role model in Leonards life at that point was his grandfather who often whisked Leonard and his sister away from the abusive household to take them on his delivery route. The mere journey was a blessing to Leonard, he hated his father and vowed to make something better of his life than he did. His school life wasn't great either. He done well in classes, but in a school in which physical attributes were praised more than intelligence was he didn't really fit in. He began to become more physically active later on in his school life, but most of the time he spent his time studying. It was on his leaving year that his grandfather died. He left home soon after. Leonard began to hitchhike across country. Getting onto freight trains whenever he could and finding what little work that needed done within the cities he arrived in. He barely made enough money to survive. That was until he met a group of people that would later be referred to as the 'Rogues'. They were headed by some self proclaimed leader called 'Knife'. He called himself that because he was too stupid to think of a gimmick and just went with the fact that he had bought a kitchen knife. As much of an idiot as Knife was, he still took Leonard under his wing and taught him all the things he needed to know about leading a small group of people. And by people, Knife meant idiots. Leonard did like the other members, but they weren't the smartest guys to say the least. The only one he really liked was a guy who went by 'Mirror Master' at least that had some gimmick to it. On one heist, the group had to use a set of flare guns in order to signal their getaway chopper. Cold had expected that Knife and the other idiots would attempt to use the guns as a weapon and conjured up a plan with Mirror Master. Leonard made special glasses to protect their eyes from the flares under the guise that they were creating a new subtitle for themselves. Mirror's part in the plan came later. As the heist drew to an end and the chopper began to approach the cops just happened to show up. Knife shot his flare and Mirror Master redirected it back at him using his mirrors. Leonard finished the last part of the plan and essentially booted the idiots off of the roof, sending them spiraling to their doom. Mirror Master made the comment that Leonards actions were "Cold", quite ironic really considering Leonards future. Before Leonard and Mirror Master began to reform the Rogues they done a few heists as partners to gain enough money to begin laundering and whatnot. It was around this time that Leonard gained the name 'Captain Cold'. Both he and Mirror Master were captured by the Flash and were turned over to the cops. In his time in jail, Leonard studied kinetic energy and thermal motion, realizing that absolute zero temperature would stop even the Flash. With the help of a few other prisoners, Leonard and Mirror Master broke out of prison and set about Leonards new plan of crafting a weapon to harness absolute zero in order to get his revenge. They stole blueprints and a machine that would enable the absolute zero effect. Leonard began to make the weapon when disaster struck. Upon firing the weapon it malfunctioned and essentially caused a freak accident in which Leonard gained the power of absolute zero along with other cold related powers rather than the gun just harnessing this. Leonard began to go under the pseudonym 'Captain Cold' after this event. Cold began piecing together the new team of 'Rogues' with himself as the de facto leader. Weather Master, Captain Boomerang and the rest joined soon after. He finally had some intelligent company. With the new leader came new rules. The main being that killing was not to be done unless you were in a life or death situation or if you were getting revenge. The first person to break this rule was Boomerang. Boomerang had been in the Rogues for years and he was a more than adequate team member. It was to Colds anger that he found out Boomerang had killed an innocent security guard and expected Leonard to come to his aid. He refused in a bout of rage and left Boomerang to his fate. He felt great regret for this in the weeks to come and accepted that what Boomerang had done was an accident. Shortly after the event with Boomerang, Cold retired for a short while. Within the short time period that Cold had left, Pied Piper managed to mistake reverse flash for the flash himself and started a fight with him. Deafening himself and crippling Trickster 1. Cold returned to sort the group out and promptly kicked Piper out whilst giving Trickster a portion of money as a sort of leaving gift. They were ambushed on their next heist, Piper had ratted them out and got them thrown into the maximum security prison known as Belle Reve.

APPROVED Real Name: George "Digger" Harkness Code name: Captain Boomerang Prison Inmate #: #609 Date Of Birth 15th February, 1977 Appearance: Standing at 5'9, Digger has a mass of messy red hair on his head, with the sides of his face covered by scruffy facial hair. He is often seen sporting a dark blue trenchcoat, with a utility belt slung over his shoulder and across his chest containing various boomerangs. He also carries around a satchel containing the rest of his arsenal, as well as generally being a secure place to store loot received from his heists. History: George "Digger" Harkness began his days in Kurrumburra, Australia with his parents Ian and Betty Harkness. From an early age it was obvious that Ian hated the boy. He shouted at him, swore at him and when he was drunk, beat him. This all became apparent later when Digger discovered that Ian wasn't his real father, with a man named Mr Wiggins actually being his father instead! This Mr Wiggins had visited the boy often when he was little, before moving away to America. Before leaving, the man gave George an old wooden boomerang that had belonged to him as a child. Ian hated it, caused George to love it even more in order to spite him. The boy played with it everyday, smashing bottles in the garden. He quickly mastered the "weapon", with him being able to hit nearly anything with it, moving or standing. His life took a darker turn however when a very drunk Ian caught him practicing one autumn evening. Ian interrupted the boy mid-throw with a drunken slur, causing him to miss its return, with the piece of wood hitting Ian instead. The man flew into a fit of rage, attacking the now 16 year old George. Fighting back, George overpowered him, with him ending the struggling by beating Ian to death with his boomerang. It was then that George fled his home, stealing Ian's truck and whatever money he had lying around, as well as a box full of valuables that Ian had hidden under his bed. It was from the notes in this box that George, now going by Digger, discovered the true identity of his father and decided to travel to America to find him. More particularly, Central City. He spent a few weeks performing petty crimes such as robbing convenient stores before leaving the country in order to raise some quick case for himself, a task he continued to do after arriving in central city. America however was different than Australia. Here criminals ran around in tights, battling it out with so-called Superheroes. Digger decided he may as well do the same, with his trusty old boomerang giving him inspiration. Tracking down his real Father, Digger revealed himself to Mr Wiggins as his son, who took him under his wing. Mr Wiggins was CEO of a major Toy Corporation, so as a gift to Digger, he gave him a job in any department he wished. Instead Digger requested the design of a new toy. Something classic for the kids. A boomerang. Wiggins agreed and entrusted Digger to oversee the project. This was all part of his plan however, as Digger hijacked the project, editing the designs in order to build himself an arsenal of trick boomerangs. After a few weeks, Captain Boomerang was born, using his creations to break into Wiggins's vault. He nearly got away with a couple million before he was apprehended by Central City's own hero, The Flash. After breaking out, Digger fell in with the Rogues of Central City along the side of Captain Cold, Mirror Master and the like. Throughout the years of service with the team, through numerous heists, prison sentences and breakouts, Digger always felt second best compared to the others. Deciding to change that after discovering that after deciding to break into Star Labs in order to plunder some new technology for the Rogues, hoping that doing so would gain him respect. Without anyone else's knowledge he broke in and all was going well. That was until he was spotted by a lone security guard. In his panic, Digger killed him, which resulted in the arrival of the police, and worse still, The Flash. Managing to fend them off for some time, Harkness called in Cap' Cold, requesting backup of his own. His leader scoffed, informing him that it was his own fault as he had broken the Rogue's one rule; No killing. Captain Boomerang was quickly apprehended and sent to Belle Reve, where he was met with a mysterious woman named Amanda Waller. Powers/Abilities: While Harkness has no real superhuman abilities, he is skilled in the area of creating and using complicated boomerangs of his own designs as weapons. Examples of his arsenal includes:

Accepted Real Name: Orm Marius Code name: Ocean Master Prison Inmate #: 19968 History: Orm Marius grew up in the fabled undersea city of Atlantis as the second born son of Queen Atlanna and her husband, King Atalan. Although his brother, Orin was firstborn and thus would be the next in line to the throne, he left Atlantis at a very early age for the surface world. As a result of this, Orm was destined to be the King. However, Atlantis was currently under threat of an anti-royalist terrorist group known as The Black Mantas. Led by the notorious criminal, Nuidis Vulko, The Black Mantas used terror tactics such as bombings, kidnappings and murder to cleave a bloody path throughout the kingdom. While the King and Queen of Atlantis were on a diplomatic mission to the Outer Poseidonis colony, they were ambushed by the The Black Mantas, killing Atalan and utterly destroying their royal convoy. During the attack Atlanna was knocked unconscious and swept away. Since the Black Mantas were unable to find her 'body' they abandoned their attempted assassination and she was reported missing. With the King dead, the Queen missing, and his half-brother galavanting across the surface world, Orm was forced to step up as King Orm I, Master of Oceans and King of Atlantis. A week after Orm's coronation, Vulko attacked and commandeered a United States military submarine to fire upon Atlantis using stolen missiles, framing the surface for the death of Two Hundred and Twenty Atlanteans. In the aftermath of the atrocity, Orm met the other members of the Atlantean council. They argued over declaring war on the surface world on the grounds of the damage during the attack. The onslaught on Atlantis led the citizens to demand for war, causing King Orm to decide that they need to reveal themselves after centuries of being hidden. Believing he was protecting Atlantis, Orm started amassing an army to invade the surface world, using The Trident of Storms and the Atlantean crown that was given to him during his coronation, Orm began battering the Eastern Coast of America with powerful storms and tidal waves. With a war between land and sea commencing, Orm's half-brother Orin, now calling himself Arthur, along with the rest of the Justice League intervened. Viewing the intervention of the Justice League as an escalation of war, Orm began flooding the coastal cities and commanded his armies to march into Gotham, Metropolis, and Boston to establish a foothold in the war. While the rest of the League split into groups to help the relief efforts of the other cities, Arthur faced off with Orm in Boston. Arthur attempted to reason with Orm, claiming that the attack on Atlantis was not the US' doing. Orm refused to listen, dismissing his words as lies, accusing Arthur of being brainwashed by the surface-dwellers. As their brawl continued, Orm revealed that he held Arthur responsible for the death of his father, and their mother, professing that he wasn't there to help shoulder the responsibility of the Crown. This antagonised Arthur, who then declared that the life of a leader was a lonely one and that is why he never wanted the Throne of Atlantis, he then destroyed the Atlantean Crown with a single punch, stopping the floods from destroying the East Coast. Arthur then realised what the responsibility of leadership had done to Orm and demanded him to yield the throne to himself so he could command the army to leave the surface. Prince Orm stopped the war with three words; "I yield...brother". With Orm defeated and the tidal waves stopped, King Arthur ordered the Atlanteans to withdraw from Gotham, Metropolis, and Boston, declaring the war to be over. Before they left for Atlantis, the army asked what was to be done with Orm, rather than let him go back with them, Arthur proclaimed he would stay on the surface and stated that he was under arrest. Orm protested, claiming that was Arthur was doing was cruel and that condemning him to the surface was on par with executing him. Arthur told him that he was truly sorry, but sent him to Belle Reve for his supposed war crimes. Powers/Abilities:

Within an hour of being there he was approached by a young boy in the street. He managed to notice that he had hidden an explosive device. John called for his squad to scatter as he shot the boy, who was killed immediately.

He is fluent in several languages, has total recall, and is on par with Batman in terms of detective skills. History: Thomas Wayne, Jr was born on Earth 3 to Doctor Thomas Wayne, Senior and his wife, Martha. Thomas Sr. was a doctor, and a corrupt one at that. He regularly took bribes, and often killed patients for the fun of it. Martha was a high class call girl, who regularly took johns home and serviced them while she made her husband watch. Thomas Jr. was the first to be born, and he was also the family favorite. Martha tried desperately to hide her whoring quiet from her baby boy, and Thomas Sr. worked to make sure that his son only saw him as a philanthropist and buisnessman, and not the drug addicted, corrupt doctor that he was. After a while, though, the novelty of the firstborn wore off, and when Thomas was 3, Bruce was born. Bruce became the new darling of the family, and Thomas was shuffled off to the side. Alfred, the family butler, from London, took pity on Thomas, but as he learned of the boy's intellect, and cunning, the pity swiftly changed into lifelong servitude. When Thomas was 11, and Bruce was eight, the Wayne family was bleeding money like a sieve. Thomas Sr. was throwing away thousands of dollars at lawyers trying to avoid malpractice suits, and Martha was paying bribes to the GCPD to make sure that she didn't have a criminal record. At the same time, Wayne Enterprises was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy thanks to the bad publicity from Thomas Sr. Young Thomas Jr., however, had a plan. He had decided to kill his family. So, putting this plan into motion, he acquired a gun from Alfred. That Sunday, as the Waynes were walking out of the theater, having just watched Zorro, Thomas turned on his family, and fatally shot Martha as she squabbled with her husband over their failing finances. Her pearls crashed to the ground, and with another loud bang, Thomas Wayne, Senior joined his wife. Bruce, horrified over his brother's actions, wrestled his brother to the ground, trying to fight for control of the gun, when he himself was shot, this time by Alfred. As Thomas,Jr.sat there, his mother's pearls dipped in her blood, his father's glasses broken on the ground, his baby brother dead, he cried. It was the first, and last time he would shed tears in his lifetime. An owl hooted down at him, and he would later recall that it seemed as if its hooting shrieked of questioning, asking who are you? Grief and remorse were the two emotions most prevalent in the young Thomas Wayne, Junior. He was sunken and slightly withdrawn, but no less the boy genius he had been prior to the death of his family. He wondered what had driven him to this point, and he knew, to an extent, that it wasn't money; Sure, money had been the motivating factor then, but in the now, it gave him no comfort. It was crime, he reasoned, evil, even, that drove him to do what he had done. So then, he thought, if crime is what drove me to kill my father, mother and brother, then crime is what I must control. Setting about with new purpose, he fired all of his tutors and began to teach himself on an accelerated rate, finishing high school by the time he was 14. By the time he was 18, he graduated college with honors, in multiple degrees, including criminal science. At 18, Thomas left Gotham and began to travel the world, learning from the best in martial arts, marksmanship, parkour, the art of deception, stealth, murder, and so much more. He traveled from England to France to Japan, literally all over the globe learning the skills that would serve him well in later life. When he was 27, he returned home to Gotham, where the press hailed him as the Prodigal son. Thomas quickly set about restoring Wayne Enterprises, now calling itself Gotham Solutions, to its former name and glory. He quickly became the richest man in Gotham, if he wasn't already. At the same time, the multibillionaire was also setting about forging the hold on Gotham that he would later be extremely feared for. Yet, frustratingly, he was unable to do so as a normal, everyday criminal. The GCPD was so lax, and the criminals were so overconfident, that there was nothing to fear of a normal, everyday man. One night in particular was exceptionally brutal, and he crawled back to his manor, bleeding on his brother's favorite chair in the study, contemplating, when an owl smacked across the window, wings spread. It hit him. Criminals are a cowardly, and superstitious lot. Give them something to fear, and they'll respond accordingly. Thus, that night, Owlman was born, and Thomas quickly started using his vast wealth to set up the cave beneath his home as his base of operations, fashioning his owlsuit from a kevlar-titanium mix. He turned the cave into a veritable underground bunker, fashioning his weapons by himself. A year later, Owlman made his debut, decimating 10 of then-Mob boss Carmine Falcone's best men, claiming Falcone's days were numbered and that Gotham was his. The first year for Owlman saw him waging a war on Falcone's operations for control of Crime Alley, nightly killing Falcone's men, and disrupting the organized crime operations Falcone had. Alfred disapproved of Thomas' activities as Owlman, but nonetheless, he continued, eventually decimating all but Falcone's estate. Alberto,Falcone's son, went insane thanks to the sheer pressure Carmine was placing on him, and the stress vented as bullets into Carmine's head. For robbing Owlman of the chance to kill the Roman himself, Owlman sliced open Alberto's throat and left the owlrang in Alberto's throat. With the death of Carmine "The Roman" Falcone, the city's organized crime splintered. Half of the city was divvied up between the other four families, and Carmine's former territory-Crime Alley, The Bowery-Was now Owlman's. Year two saw the advent of the costumed freaks that would come to be known by Alfred as Owlman's "Rogue's Gallery." The first of them was The Joker. A psychopathic madman and anarchist seeking to free Gotham from all forms of control, starting with the GCPD. Killing honest cops like Rupert Thorne, and Arnold Flass, Joker sent the city into a state of panic; which only worsened as riots started,lootings, and the GCPD-corrupt, and veering on the edge of inept-was overwhelmed. The Commisioner, Gillian B. Loeb, declared a state of emergency, and the Government sealed off the city. Owlman, displeased with the fact that not only was the Joker violating the entire balance of power that he had been working to make, had been working to control, stepped in to make sure that the crime that plagued his city, was back under his control. Blackmailing Loeb into submission, he turned the GCPD into his own personal army, temporarily. The GCPD worked-a rarity in the years to come-to make sure that the street crime was dropping down to a manageable level, while Owlman called out the Joker directly. He and the psychopath battled viciously, before the Joker escaped to Arkham on a rigged trial. The next two and a half years saw Owlman fighting more of his rogues, strengthening his chokehold on Gotham; by the end of this term there was nothing he did not have a hand in, no one he couldn't intimidate, kill or bribe. He found allies in Ultraman, and the rest of the Crime Syndicate. Working with the Team, he took on way bigger threats than he would have by himself. Yet, this was not to last. One moment, he was finally killing the Joker, after five years of fighting, and the next, his city was burning. He couldn't save it, couldn't salvage his home, anything of his operations. All he had left was his suit, and whatever was in his utility belt, and billions in burnt cash. Ultraman filled him in on what had happened; how their entire world was shattered, obliterated into nothing but barely livable ash. But they had a plan; a plan that would give them a new home, a new world. And so, with that, the events of Forever Evil were launched, but even as they happened, the ever cautious, and tactician Thomas began to plan for a future where they lost, amassing wealth and operations similar to those that he had back on his world, even from prison. Already he had plans to renovate a former military bunker near Gotham into his new Owlcave.
