Roscoe Dillon is The Top. He was initially a time-displaced Acolyte of Zoom, but became a member of the Rogues of Central City after alterations to the timeline.

Origin

Roscoe Dillon was born a normal boy in the late 20th Century. However, his life changed when he was struck by lightning at the age of 5. Gaining the power to turn himself into a living tornado, Roscoe was bounced from orphanage to orphanage, seen as a burden for being unable to control his powers.

Though he took medications to control his powers, in 1982, the medicine one day stopped working, causing Roscoe to fly off the handle and destroy the town of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, over the course of 3 days. Roscoe was contacted by the time travelling speedster Eobard Thawne, who promised to train him with his powers if he'd come into the future and help him fight the speedster known as the Flash. Roscoe agreed, not realizing that Thawne was the one who had stolen his medicine, causing him to think it wasn't working in the first place.[1]

Rebirth

Due to fluctuations of the timeline because of Dr. Manhattan's interference, Roscoe's past was altered; he was once again born in the 21st Century. He became a costumed criminal known as Top[2] and a member of the Rogues.[3]

Top was invited to join the Reverse Flash's Legion of Zoom, an attempt to organize the Flash's greatest foes to finally defeat him. [4]

Powers

Weaknesses

  • Power Instability: Roscoe's powers used to be controlled by taking medications. However, Eobard Thawne secretly got Roscoe off his meds before recruiting him through time to fight the Flash.[1]
