Trickster

Axel Walker is a young thief who stole the gadgets and gimmicks of the original Trickster, James Jesse, and used them to claim the villainous identity for himself, clashing with the Flash as a brash newcomer to Central City's rogues.

Bursting onto the scene in 2002's Flash #183 under the creative team of Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins, this Modern Age Trickster is a DC villain forged in the thick of one of comics' most celebrated Rogues galleries. Sharing pages with heavy hitters like Captain Cold, Mirror Master, and the Weather Wizard — not to mention the Scarlet Speedster himself — this character keeps genuinely dangerous company. An 18-year publishing run stretching into 2020, with appearances across Flash, The Flash, and even Red Robin, speaks to a staying power that goes well beyond a one-trick pony. If you're drawn to the colorful, chaotic world of Flash's enemies, Trickster is a name worth tracking down.
