Flash 155 - "The Gauntlet of Super-Villains " : first Silver Age appearance of the Rogues as a team.
Did you read it and did you notice the following facts :
- Gorilla Grodd's "force of mind" : it is described as a "mind over matter" power able to teleport the Rogues.
(The "mind over matter" idea will be used later by other writers to describe the power of the Top)
- There does not seem to be any leadership but Mirror Master seems to be the organizer of the "Rogues gallery".
(Captain Cold being the leader of the gang is an idea of Geoff Johns)
(On the Hyperborea website, Sam Scudder is described as the "most respected" of the Rogues Gallery)

Personally, I always saw Cold as leader post-CRISIS... but that's after Scudder died. Mirror Master I, on the other hand, seems like the sort that WOULD lead the team before that... without ever reading this original appearance, I had him as organizer of the Rogues in my home DC Heroes campaign. So, yeah, I'm excited to see this.
