The Flash by Geoff Johns #5

In "Rogue Profile: Heat Wave," Mick Rory confronts Murmur while reflecting on his past as a pyromaniac who embraced a life of crime—only to later turn against his fellow rogues, especially the cold, calculating Captain Cold. As the tension builds between old allies and enemies, Heat Wave’s journey into the shadows reveals a man caught between his fiery legacy and a desire to change.

In a tense prologue to the "Rogue Wars" arc, Flash [Wally West] races against time to stop a new Trickster from uncovering the hidden location of the original Captain Boomerang’s body, while the original Trickster [James Jesse] quietly rallies a coalition of reformed rogues. Amid the chaos, Linda Park-West receives a chilling visit that hints at deeper secrets within the Flash’s world.

In "Rogue War, Chapter 1," the Flash [Wally West] and Linda Park-West navigate quiet moments at home, while Jay Garrick confronts the chilling presence of Zoom. Meanwhile, Captain Cold’s crew discovers Digger Harkness’ body is gone—sparking tension among the rogues—just as reformed villains like Heat Wave [Mick Rory] and Magenta face off against their former allies. With old grudges flaring and new threats emerging, the city teeters on the edge of chaos.

In "Rogue War, Chapter 2," the Flash arrives to find the Rogues already locked in chaotic one-on-one duels, their rivalry erupting into full-blown battle. As the FBI moves to revive Digger Harkness to expose the team’s secrets, a sudden new presence disrupts the fight—shifting the tide in ways no one expected.

In "Rogue War, Chapter 3," the fragile truce among the Flash's rogue allies shatters as the Top manipulates the chaos, reawakening former allies and bringing in new threats. With Captain Cold's fate hanging in the balance, James Jesse leads the remaining rogues toward Digger Harkness’ body—and the uneasy sanctuary of Ashley Zolomon, now under Zoom’s watchful protection.

In "Rogue War, Chapter 4," Wally West faces a brutal test as the Rogues unite with renewed strength, but Zoom’s true intent becomes clearer—using the original Professor Zoom to force Wally to confront the weight of loss. With allies like Jay Garrick, Bart Allen, and Iris Allen standing by, Wally must push beyond his limits as the past and present collide in a battle that threatens to break him.

In the climactic finale of "Rogue War," Wally West confronts the lingering trauma of a past he can’t change—when he and Professor Zoom return to the moment of Linda Park-West’s miscarriage, Wally makes a quiet, pivotal choice that ripples through time. With the Cosmic Treadmill as both weapon and trap, the line between justice and vengeance blurs as old enemies and allies alike face the aftermath of a timeline rewritten.
