From Wiki- The original Trickster (real name
Giovanni Giuseppe) is the practical joker and
con man whose favorite occupation is damaging enemies like the Flash with items such as
explosive teddy bears. His alter ego is "
James Jesse". He was a
circus acrobat who decided to become a criminal just like his "reverse namesake"
Jesse James.

He created shoes that allowed him to walk on air to first help him in
the trapeze shows his family was in, as every member of his family was a
trapeze expert and his father wanted him to be one also, and other
dangerous gag
gadgets for his crimes. He clashed with the Flash (Barry Allen) many times. In his first appearance, his
Harlequin costume causes the Flash to guess he is in a circus, and he captures the Trickster after pogo-sticking to the trapeze.
After Barry Allen's death, the Trickster relocated from Central City to Hollywood, where he spent some time working in special effects. He attempted to steal Dan Cassidy's innovative Blue Devil
suit, but was defeated. When Cassidy later became trapped in the suit,
Jesse befriended him and relied on Cassidy to help with his sporadic
efforts to give up supervillainy. Back to me:
For whatever reason, I never read many Flash comics growing up. I had a few, one 100 page giant, but nothing ever in a series. I sort of knew about the Rogue's Gallery, but again, this was from reading friends Flash books. I like this villain, though.
