Royal Flush Gang

"The Justice League found themselves cleaning up one of my old messes. The second group of villains to call themselves the Royal Flush Gang. Or the third—who can keep it all straight?" — Amanda Waller

There have been several incarnations of the Royal Flush Gang. Each gang has consisted of a King, Queen, Jack, Ten and Ace.

Joker's Royal Flush Gang

The Joker's Royal Flush Gang.

"Oh, you're breaking an old man's heart, kids! Stand up to them, like I would! ...If I were there. And if I had super powers. And...oh for Pete's sake go back there and beat on them!" — Joker

The members of the first Royal Flush Gang were subjects of United States government metahuman research. The Joker freed them from a government facility and formed the group. Dressed up as playing cards, the Royal Flush Gang did the Joker's bidding of fighting the Justice League.

Members

• Ace: Vast mind-bending powers which enable her to drive anyone insane with just a single look.
• Jack: Empowered with superhuman elasticity.
• King: Shoots superhot plasma bolts, usually focused through his cane.
• Queen: Able to telekinetically control and reshape any kind of metal to her own will.
• Ten: Has superhuman strength and is impervious to physical pain.

Ace's Royal Flush Gang

"Did you like playing with my new Royal Flush Gang? Can't say that I did. Yeah. They aren't any fun at all. I gave them their powers, and they still hardly ever play with me. Can't imagine why." — Ace - Batman

After her powers had evolved to telekinetically warping reality, Ace recruited a new Royal Flush Gang armed with powers she gave them. However, the new gang did not "play" with her and faced the Justice League on their own before being defeated. Shortly after, Ace passed on and took the effects of her powers with her. As such, the rest of the gang reverted to their natural forms.

Aristocratic Crime Gangs

Over the years, several aristocratic crime gangs existed where they bring in new members (i.e. sons, daughters, husbands, wives) when the old ones retire or go to jail. At one point, a King was in charge of several members (two being his daughter and a Jack) to which Batman broke up the group.

Walker Family's Royal Flush Gang

The Walker Family's Royal Flush Gang

The family of crooks known as the Royal Flush Gang preyed on Gotham City during Batman II's tenure. The gang utilizes weapons shaped like playing cards and flies across the city on card-shaped boards. While they do not have any superhuman powers, the members possess high-tech weaponry: King is a master swordsman, Queen wields a scepter-like weapon, Jack is a master with knives, Ace is an android, and Ten is the computer hacker.
