Leonard Snart

**Leonard Snart**, self-named **Captain Cold,** is a world-class thief from Central City. He is also the older brother of Lisa Snart and the son of the late Lewis Snart.

In 2021, after the appearance of Barry Allen/The Flash, who started endangering his heists with his heroics, Snart sought to take him out thus building the Cold Gun. After his first encounter with The Flash, he knew he couldn't destroy him alone so, he decided to recruit other villains like him. Firstly, he recruited his partner in crime Mick Rory, then went for the other villains in Central City. A couple of weeks later, Snart fully assembled his team to take on The Flash. However, they were taken out like flies when a "man in a yellow suit" super sped them to unconsciousness.

## Biography

#### Becoming Cold

Returning to his base, Snart told his two remaining men that they would be back to the museum to steal the diamond that night. When his men protested, saying the museum would be crawling with the police and the Flash, Snart answered that his cold gun could stop the Flash and he knew the Flash's real weakness. His men mutinied and pulled a gun to his head. They left, saying that Central City was no longer Snart's playground now that the Flash was there. Disagreeing, Snart went to the museum by himself and broke in using the cold gun.

#### Banding a team

After his first encounter with The Flash, Snart knew he couldn't stop the Speedster by himself, so he decided to form a team consisting of super criminals to take down the Scarlet Speedster once and for all.

He first recruited Hartley Rathaway who was known by the public as Pied Piper, then went after his partner in crime, Mick Rory, also known as Heat Wave .

A couple of weeks later, Snart fully assembled his team to take on The Flash. However, they were taken out like flies when a "man in a yellow suit" super sped them to unconsciousness.

### Family reunion

During a robbery, Leonard was kidnapped by his father while his sister was injected with a specially designed thermite micro-bomb. When the Flash came to rescue him, Leonard told him he doesn't need saving. As the Flash asked him why his sister thinks he's been kidnapped, he was distracted by a cabinet closing in the back. Snart took the opportunity to shoot the Flash with his cold gun as his father intruded. The Flash managed to thaw out, but not before the two left the scene. Later, Leonard was approached by Barry, who offered help again. Barry said that Leonard may be a criminal with a code of honor, but his father doesn't seem to live under a code. When the two left, the Flash confronted them. Lewis ordered Leonard to shoot him, but he hesitated. After the Flash said that Lisa was safe, Leonard immediately shot and killed his father. Leonard was then let go as a warning.

#### Return of The Rouges

In late January 2023, Snart recreated a new version of The Rogues.

## Equipment

* Cold Gun**:** Generating a beam of absolute zero temperature, the weapon freezes whatever it touches and creating solid ice. It can also slow down the motion of fast-moving molecules, specifically those of the Flash, retarding his accelerated healing and vastly reducing his speed. It also gives off bright white and blue flashes that the user protects their eyes from with goggles.
* **Goggles:** Leonard also wears a pair of blue wraparound goggles, which are designed to protect his eyes from the flashes given off by his Cold Gun.
