THE RAINBOW RAIDER | ||
One of the last members of the Silver Age Flash's illustrious Rogues' Gallery, The Rainbow Raider was Roy G. Bivolo, who basically became a costumed criminal because he was colorblind, using all the technology he had acquired to help him see color (so he could become a painter) to rob banks and battle The Flash. Well, I've seen lamer motivations, but Roy's sure got a cool costume though, and he could use color to affect a target's mood, travel on beams of colored light and, of course, shoot colorful and rather painful lasers. |

DC Comics promoted the Tarantula's few seventies appearances by calling him "the original Web-Slinger." The Tarantula was actually writer Jonathan Law. The Tarantula was a good fighter and his costume gave him the ability to walk up walls. He also had a special web gun. This is the Tarantula's original costume (which was apocryphally designed by Dian Belmont). His regular outfit (introduced in the pages of All-Star Squadron) can be found at the Psycho-Pirate's Gold & Silver Gallery. |

He once tried to punch out Mount Rushmore for revenge! I used the Male_Basic_Tall_Teen mesh to duplicate the Terror's elderly scrawniness. The mask doesn't come close to duplicating his hood, but I figger at least we've got the Terror now until a proper mesh comes out. |

Tharok is the leader of the Fatal Five, arch-enemies of the Legion of Super-Heroes. He was a petty criminal who accidentally had half of his body vaporized by Science Police officers. He was saved when a robotic body half was grafted onto him, which in turn also gave Tharok great intelligence. This is my own interpretation of Tharok's robot half, given the limitations of the mesh and the fact that it rarely is seen the same way twice in the comics. |

An accidental fire made Green Lantern think his new wife was dead, but she had actually fled, later leaving two children to be adopted. The children grew up to be Jade and Obsidian of Infinity, Inc. In a later battle with the Green Lantern and Infinity, Inc., Rose's personality resurfaced enough to force the Thorn to commit suicide rather than kill her husband and children. |

THE TOP | ||
Roscoe Dillon was always fascinated by toy tops, so it wasn't surprising when he turned to them as a motif for criminal enterprise. As the Top, he spun his way into the Flash's Rogue Gallery. Eventually his spinning activities affected his brain, giving him mental powers. His brain was also somehow affected by the Flash's super-speed vibrations, which lead to his death. To be honest, this is definitely not my best skin. The concentric circles on the Top's outfit seemed like they would be easy to construct, but they were a bit of a nightmare at times. This is the best I can do right at the moment, but I'm going to redo the skin in the future when I get a bit more skilled at Photoshop. | ||

The colors are correct, but a little off-hue, which causes a little clashing. Sometime I'll have to redo so the green is a little darker to offset the brightness of the yellow. And hopefully by then someone will come out with a mesh for heroes with fins on their heads, too. |

He and the Baron did manage to escape, and Zyklon has not been heard from since. |
