#70 - Captain Cold

He would never betray you.

A Rogue is a Rogue until they die - or until they cross another Rogue. But Cold has always had a strange, twisted form of honor, and he doesnt break the rules. Not ever. From his first days menacing Barry Allen to the last days of Wallys tenure as the Flash, Cold has always held true to center tenets. You dont go after kids. You dont go after wives. Its about the masks. Its about the jobs. But fuck with Cold? All bets are off. And Cold, leader of the Rogues, is willing to lie, betray, cheat, steal and kill anyone outside of his own nuclear family, the Rogues, if they step in the way of his goals or break his own rules. This includes the Society leaders who put him up against Bart Allen as the Flash, and when Cold discovered that he had killed a kid, he went apeshit, bringing the rest of his Rogues into hiding, where they bide their time and plan for revenge. The sort of Rogues revenge that only the Rogues can manage.

Honestly, this is a pretty good ranking for a character that only has appeared maybe three times thus far in the campaign. Captain Cold is the icy, steel mind that coldly calculates the moves of DC's most mercenary, unpredictable supergroup. In fact, it might almost be fair to say that the fate of two entire cities rests in the next thing Cold decides to do. After having taken the fall for a crime he didn't want to commit, the entire playbook that guided the Rogues' hands has gone out the window, and Cold is trapped for the first time with a conscience. He cannot reconcile his actions, knowing that his rage is justified, but his guilt cannot be assuaged. The faint formation of a conscience may very well make Captain Cold the most dangerous version of himself that ever existed.

Obviously, there is a certain connection between Brennus and Cold - firstly, I think Brennus might be a little attracted to the fellow. And then there's the tiniest of possibilities that Varra and Cold have had more to their relationship than what was revealed in No Man's Land as well. She never really could stay away from the man who betrayed her at least thrice before, after all. It all congeals into an abject mess. Really, just a complicated, messy situation. I love it immensely, and I always look forward to the savviest of the Rogues when the party travels to Keystone, where he can easily snipe at their goody-two-shoes mentality and get away with it.

Someone could have drafted this next Convoy character and earned 32 points for their troubles.
