There's quite a bit of talk about how the Rogues will be redesigned in the DCnU, including talk that a lot of the tech-based Rogues will now turn up at metas. Are you OK with the change? Would you prefer to keep things as they were post-Crisis?

I vote to keep them tech-based. Their obsession over the Flash, their growing knowledge of using this tech, proves that even though they are not out to rule/destroy the world, the Rogues are extremely dangerous. Making them metas would...lessen that aspect.

It also changes them considerably -- they're not ordinary blue-collar dudes if they have powers to set them above everyone else. It makes them garden-variety super-people.
So honestly, I expect the tone of them to change once they get powered. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because Johns changed a lot too, but considering he wildly increased their popularity I question why DC is messing with success.

Making them metas would...lessen that aspect. It would depend on the Rogue. I could see Weather Wizard as a meta. And perhaps Mirror Master. But Captain Cold's leadership ability, code of honor, and general badassery are what made him a popular character. His arsenal of cold guns had nothing to do with it. Making him a meta seems arbitrary. |

Although I love and enjoy the classic Rogues; and would have no problem with them staying "tech based", I do like the idea of them having meta powers as well. Since their nemesis; The Flash, has meta powers why shouldn't they as well?
I think in a creative sense it's good, it keeps from repeating story arcs from the past.....lets face it, they've pretty much done everything they can with the tech-based Rogues Gallery, why not try something new in the "new 52"?
