Blue Beetle/Ted Kord?

^ good guess!

Jimmy Olsen? He’s a newspaper photographer and has probably had spider-related powers at some point.

Nope, a much more high-profile character...

Martian Manhunter?

Robin?

Close. Note: In BATMAN #229 when an editor suggested that Robin could make money taking photos of his exploits, the affronted hero suggested the man " look up a guy named Peter Parker."

Batman?

Correct, BRAVE AND THE BOLD #74. Your turn...

The Flash villains The Rogues are know for their code of conduct. What is their rule regarding legacy villains? Bonus points for naming any other rules.

I think one of their other rules was about not killing women and children.

I don't know the legacy villain rule, though.

Weren't they fair game? Seemed to recall they slaughtered the Prankster pretender...

That is one of their rules.

Not exactly

Legacy villains must be related to the original villain?

Closer. The rule does place stipulations on legacy villains, at least for the Rogues.

The legacy villain must have the blessing /endorsement of the villain they are "replacing"?

Not quite, but that contains the two components of the rule: something about the “replaced” villain and something about endorsement.

Anyone wishing to become a legacy villain of a Rogue member, must be approved by the Rogues?

You’ve got half of it. It isn’t enough to have the costume and gear of a Rogue to be a Rogue, you have to be approved by the rest.

The other stipulation comes from being a legacy character. What issue might a legacy character experience that an character with an original identity wouldn’t?

The code name perhaps? The legacy's code name was be a clear homage to the original Rogue?

In this sense, I’m meaning a legacy character to be one that takes up the same name as a previous character, so no. If a previous character used the same name, are there any conflicts that might come up? What rule makes it certain those conflicts can’t happen?

Think about the Flash. There have been multiple characters using the name and have had to address the same conflict I’m referring to above.

To be more specific, when Wally West and Bart Allen become the Flash, the Rogues’ rule is followed.

A code name can only be used, if the original/previous bearer is retired or dead?

You’ve got it! No one may inherit a Rogue’s identity while the original is still alive. Stated earlier, having the costume and equipment isn’t enough to be a Rogue, even if the original is dead. The endorsement of the other Rogues is required.

Other rules include no killing unless absolutely necessary, but never women and children, and no using or selling drugs.

nice Q, BKL, and good clue-giving!

those rules are making me like the Rogues more!

let's see...

The Shaggy Man used to give the JLA a hard time, but was taken down in one panel in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Which hero easily defeated Shaggy?
