Mick Rory

Mick Rory is a pyromaniac who became Heatwave, a professional arsonist. He is an enemy of the Flash and a member of the Rogues.

Early Life
Born on a farm outside Central City, Mick Rory became fascinated with fire as a child. This fascination turned into an obsession and one night, he set his family's home ablaze. His destructive fixation was so great, that he simply watched the flames engulf his house, instead of running to get help. His entire family died in the fire.

After this event, Rory went to live with his uncle. His pyromania continued and he was forced to run away after locking a schoolmate in his house and setting it on fire because the boy locked Rory in a meat locker during a field trip as a prank. He took a job as a fire eater with a travelling circus. This did not last long either, as he ended up setting the circus on fire.

Eventually he met Leonard Snart, during one of his robbery attempts, and instead of being arrested Leonard saw potential in him and asked him to join his gang of Rogues and the two robbed the bank together, becoming a duo in crime.

S.T.A.R. Labs Heist
After robbing a bank of its money, the Rogues are in their warehouse planning their next heist. Leonard informs the team that they are going to hit a S.T.A.R. Labs Convoy next in order to steal the tech onboard, which is rumoured to be worth millions on the black market. Hours later, at night, they commit the plan to detail and the Rogues grab as many cases of tech as possible. Mick Rory opens one to reveal an experimental flamethrower and stares in awe but Leonard reminds him they're here to pay off their debt not collect weapons for personal use.

Choosing their weapons
After robbing the S.T.A.R. Labs convoy, the Rogues regroup in their warehouse. Leonard instantly goes towards planning their next job, but Mick Rory grabs the flamethrower and starts messing around with it. Leonard casually tells him to put it down, per usual he has to control Mick from going too far, but instead of complying Rory just turns it on and starts bursting flames in the air, roaring with laughter. Leonard scolds him as he's trying to concentrate but Lisa tells him to calm down as they got the job done. Mick reminds him the tech is supposed to pay off their debt but why not kill the people trying to blackmail them. This manages to convince Leonard as he picks up a gun and takes it back to his desk after showing some liking to it.

Central City Fine Jewellery Heist
The Rogues decide to rob a jewellery store with their new weapons and so by the time the Flash arrives, the floor was covered in golden ice as well as most of the store being empty. The 4 rogues are at the back of the store while The Flash blocks the entrance. The Flash tries running on the golden ice but it isn't successful and Mick takes the opportunity to engulf the Flash in flames, however he was able to use his phasing to bypass its effects before they severely injured him.

Second fight with the Flash
The Rogues were planning their next heist before they noticed the Flash had come close to their perimeter. Leonard tells the Rogues to get ready and by the time the Flash entered the warehouse, they were already ready for him. He tries taking them on one at a time but they had each others backs and so the Flash couldn't get close. He was hit by their weapons again and again, damaging his suit and causing him to nearly fall unconscious. Once they were outside Flash tried running around them to create a vortex in which they would go unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Before it was successful however, Mick used his Heat Gun to engulf the Flash in flames which dropped the Rogues down to the floor where they could surround the speedster and get ready to take him out, but once again it failed letting the Flash run away.

Central City Casino Heist
The 4 Rogues decide to rob the Casino the next day and it's going fine until the Flash enters the building to stop them. Mick and Lisa try stop the Flash while Leonard and Harkness collect the money but he uses their tools against each other by having Mick accidentally fire his gun at Lisa, which damaged her ice skates, before taking them out using his super speed. After they were tied up and arrested, Mick gained the nickname "Heatwave", due to his past of being a pyromaniac being revealed on the news, by Iris West and her article on the Rogues.
