  • Avatar (Tanaka): Formerly the youthful sidekick of the Judomaster, Tanaka was orphaned due to war and traveled the world witnessing similar effects everywhere he went.

Declaring war on the war mongers, he toppled the Justice League but was ultimately defeated by Captain Atom, his former mentor, and their allies.
  • Doctor Spectro (Tom Emery): A scientist driven mad by his emotion-altering prisms, Dr. Spectro gained the ability to affect emotions directly. Post-Crisis, Spectro was a small-time crook General Wade Eiling used to create a cover story for Captain Atom.
  • Fiery-Icer: A mercenary with a suit that unleashes intense fire from his right gauntlet and frigid cold from the left, the mysterious Fiery-Icer fought Captain Atom on several occasions.

Famous quotes containing the words rogues and/or gallery:

    But soon a wonder came to light,
    That showed the rogues they lied:
    The man recover’d of the bite,
    The dog it was that died.
    Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)

    To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
