Lewis Snart

**Lewis Snart** (died October 2022) was the abusive father of Leonard Snart, and Lisa Snart.

## Biography

### Raising Leonard and Lisa Snart

At some point prior to 2022, Lewis was arrested for 5 years in jail for larceny with his child , Leonard in foster care until Lewis was released.

When he was released, Lewis began to take his anger out on Leonard. Eventually he had another child, a daughter Lisa, whom he would eventually come to take his anger out on also and left her with numerous scars.

### Heist with Leonard Snart

40 years later, Lewis escaped from Iron Heights. He found his son and daughter while the two, along with Mick Rory, were committing a robbery. Lewis had his son kidnapped and his daughter injected with thermite. Lewis then threatened his son to work for him or he'd kill Lisa. When the Flash came to "rescue" Leonard, Lewis was shocked when he saw his son cover the Flash in ice. Lewis told his son he didn't think he had it in him and the two left.

As Lewis turned around to his son, the latter fired his cold gun at him. In his last moments Lewis asked why Leonard did it as he always thought his son hated the Flash, but Lewis was told he was hated more.

## Personality

Before going to prison, Lewis was a somewhat caring father, albeit not an ideal one. He did seek to protect his son from a stranger, unknowingly an adult Leonard from the future, although doing so recklessly, by cursing and pointing a gun at the intruder right in front of his young son before sending the child away from the danger and to his bed.

However, after spending years locked up in prison, Lewis became extremely arrogant, selfish, ruthless, immoral and unreasonable, these combined traits made him a very dangerous man, he had little to no regard for innocent lives, repeatedly proving he was willing to kill already neutralized guards without remorse.

Although Lewis was intelligent, his intellect was not at the same level as his son's, which, combined with his arrogance, made him a very sloppy criminal. He regularly disregarded his son's advice about timing and contingencies, completely disregarding Leonard's experience and reputation with thievery, and killed whoever annoyed him, even if they possessed skills which could be useful in other jobs, yet was too impatient to simply ignore them.

Following Lewis' release from prison, Lewis began to have no concern for his own family, when his kids were young, he regularly abused both Lisa and Leonard physically when he was angry, saying he was trying to teach them lessons, along with abusing his wife, which forced Leonard to raise his sister like she was his own daughter. This cruelty continued into his old age, as he blackmailed his own son into assisting him on his final heist by implanting a bomb in his own daughter's neck. These negative traits of Lewis' were what eventually led to his painful yet deserved/justified death at the hands of his own son, Leonard and the latter's Cold gun.
