The Top

Roscoe Dillon was a small time hood who loved spinning tops as a child.  A metahuman, Dillon possessed an inborn super-speed power. He found that he was able to spin himself around like a human whirlwind. creating a dizzying torrent that induced debilitating vertigo to all in his vicinity.  Dillon used this power to become the costumed villain know as 'The Top.' Situated in Keystone City, The Top would have numerous altercations with The Flash (Barry Allen).  

Following defeats at the hands of The Flash, The Top fell with the group of villains known as The Rogues.  Herein Dillon became romantically involved with fellow Rogue Lisa Snart.  Lisa is the younger sister of the Rogues’ leader Captain Cold who has used her great prowess as a figure skater to become an ice-skate-theme villain.  Highly protective of his sister, Captain Cold disapproved of her romance with Dillon; which did little to dissuade the headstrong pair.  

Later, The Top discovered that his powers were the result of psychic abilities that enabled him various types of telekinesis and telepathy. Unfortunately, this psychic gift was also the result of a malignant brain tumor that was continuing to metastasize and would soon claim his life. Before he succumbed to his illness, Dillon hid a series of bombs all about Keystone City and The Flash needed to team up with the Rogues so to defuse the many bombs.  

Well, now I wanna write a fanfiction where Roscoe and Max are brothers. Both are pissed about the matching costume color schemes and make fun of each other’s gimmicks.

“Electricity? Can you be any more unoriginal?”

“You literally spin like a top. Your power set is “a top”

In fact, these weren't his dogs; they were the test subjects of Dr. Freeze, who was also Leonard's mother's second husband. Before her illness, their relationship was rather distant and sometimes strained to the point of conflict. Leonard lived alternately with his mother and Victor in Gotham and with his father in Axis Mundi. Nevertheless, he received his education at the Gotham Officers' Academy (at the same time, Bruce, Harvey, Thomas, and Oswald, who were a few years younger, were also there).

So, technically, Leonard holds the actual rank of naval captain and is proficient in naval operations.

When Nora's illness worsened, Victor began trying more risky treatments, and his wealth quickly dwindled due to the arduous but expensive research.

Leonard, also a carrier of the disease, helped Victor, and although they were far from a father-son relationship, their shared misfortune with a loved one and their willingness to take risks and even break the law allowed them to find more common ground.

The Golden Glider

Lisa Snart grew up in an abusive home.  Her father was a violent man who suffered from terrible alcoholism.  Lisa’s older brother, Lenny, was highly protective of her and would often provoke their father so to maintain his anger on him and spare Lisa.  While this protected Lisa from being abused it also fostered an unhealthy codependence on her brother.  Years later, when Lenny became the costumed supervillain known as Captain Cold, Lisa felt compelled to follow his path and she became a villain as well.  

Lisa is a gifted ice skater and excelled in the field of competitive figure skating.  She competed under the pseudonym of ‘Lisa Star’ and had ambitions to earn a chance to compete in the olympics.  Her coach and lover was Roscoe Dillan, an associate of her brother’s as well as the villain known as The Top.  

Roscoe passed away from a rare type of brain cancer, yet Lisa blamed his death on The Top’s nemesis, The Flash.  Intent on taking revenge, Lisa vowed to take down The Flash.  She fashioned a specialized pair of ice skates that allowed her to glide on air and, dressed in a golden costume, dubbed herself ‘The Golden Glider.’  Although she was able to bedevil Scarlett Speedster for a time, Lisa was never able to defeat the hero.  

Lenny did what he could to dissuade his sister from a life as a costume criminal, but his words fell on deaf ears. Indeed Lisa began to resent her brother over his efforts to control her life.  In a poorly thought through act of defiance, Lisa provided a new villain with a version of her brother’s cold cold, believing he could replace her brother and act as her partner in crime.  Calling himself ‘Chillblaine’ this cad used the cold gun on Lisa, killing her instantly.  Lenny would later avenge his sister, killing Chillblaine.  

In the Nu52 rebooted continuity, Lisa’s death is mysteriously undone and she appears as a metahuman villain who has the ability to become intangible, move at super sonic speeds and control sharp, ribbon-like tendrils that manifest from her hands.  This version of the Golden Glider recruits the Rogues to do her bidding but is ultimately defeated by The Flash with the aid of her brother Captain Cold.  

Lisa and Lenny later reconciled and joined forces alongside the Rogues to pull off capers and go up against The Flash.  The villainous siblings are still at large.
