In "Rogue Profile: Heat Wave," the fiery criminal Heat Wave confronts his past as he tracks down Murmur, recalling his descent into pyromania and his growing rift with the Rogues—especially his longtime rival, Captain Cold. The story unfolds with a tense, introspective edge, weaving memories of his criminal origins with his current uneasy stance against his former allies.

In the Prologue to *Rogue Wars*, Wally West races against time as the new Trickster—Axel Walker—hunts for the hidden location of the original Captain Boomerang’s remains. Meanwhile, the original Trickster, James Jesse, quietly rallies a circle of reformed rogues, while Linda Park West faces a chilling surprise visit that unsettles her world.

In "Rogue War: Chapter 1," Captain Cold’s crew scrambles when Digger Harkness’ body vanishes, setting off a tense rift among the rogues. Meanwhile, Wally West and Linda Park West navigate their quiet life together, while Jay Garrick faces the chilling presence of Zoom. Back in Central City, old enemies clash as the rogue contingent meets the reformed, leading to a volatile standoff.

In "Rogue War: Chapter 2," the Flash arrives to find the Rogues already locked in chaotic, one-on-one clashes—Heat Wave versus Mirror Master, Captain Cold facing off against Trickster, and the rest scattered in violent duels. Just as the battle reaches its peak, a sudden arrival throws the entire conflict into disarray, while the FBI’s secret plan to awaken Digger Harkness inches closer to execution.

In "Rogue War: Chapter 3," the fragile truce among the Flash's rogues shatters as the Top manipulates the chaos, reawakening former allies and unleashing new threats into the fray. With Captain Cold confronting the Top and James Jesse leading a desperate charge toward Digger Harkness' body, Ashley Zolomon finds herself under Zoom’s protection—just as the battlefield erupts into full rebellion.

In "Rogue War: Chapter 4," Wally West faces an escalating battle as the Flash, with the rogues unleashing new threats, must confront the chilling strategy of Zoom—aided by the original Professor Zoom—whose twisted lesson on loss threatens to break him. With familiar faces like Captain Cold, Heat Wave, and Mirror Master pushing the fight to new extremes, Wally’s resolve is tested like never before.

In "Rogue War: Chapter 5," Wally West is trapped in a relentless loop of his deepest emotional trauma, manipulated by a desperate Professor Zoom using the Cosmic Treadmill. As the past fractures and time bends, Barry Allen arrives to confront the man who stole his future—only to find Wally already breaking under the weight of memories too painful to face.

In "Rogue War: Conclusion," Wally West confronts the lingering trauma of his past when Barry Allen and Professor Zoom return to the moment Zoom caused Linda’s miscarriage—only this time, Wally has the chance to change it. With the Cosmic Treadmill as the final battleground, Zoom’s reliance on time proves his undoing as the machine explodes, unraveling his plans. As the Flash family gathers in the aftermath, the quiet ripple of Wally’s choices begins to reshape their futures in unexpected, hopeful ways.
