Roscoe Dillon went on to teach himself how to spin fast enough to deflect bullets and create really basic constructs (no Green Lantern level building going on here), named himself the Top and donned a yellow and green-striped costume. The good thing about building characters this way is that when the idea to team them up comes around they will all inherently relate to each other because they already share so much. You can tell from their relatively simplistic character descriptions that villains of the time were usually conceived of as one-shot characters who were not likely to appear again, and that is why they share the same basic constructs. Sam Scudder first appeared in 1959 and Roscoe Dillon first appeared in 1961, which puts their creation right at the beginning of the Silver Age. Both characters were created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino (big time Flash creators who, if you haven’t read, you should absolutely think about picking up). Roscoe Dillon was a small time crook who was obsessed with tops as a child and Sam Scudder was your run-of-the-mill convict obsessed with the idea of getting to the other side of a mirror. Let’s take a little look at the comic characters who inspired Sam and Rosalind on screen. This makes them instant allies who, of course, would work together against the Flash. Viewers can see this mirrored (haha), in “The New Rogues” by having Sam and Rosalind be romantically involved. Sam Scudder is the first of three men to take up the mantle of Mirror Master (fun fact: the third one was Scottish!) and-in the context of the comic books-the Top is a man! He’s called Roscoe Neyle Dillon and often partners up with Sam Scudder and several other Rogues in order to take on the Flash.
