Roscoe Dillon

The Top, DC

119 appearancesSince 1961

Roscoe Dillon first appeared in The Flash #122 (1961-08), published by DC. 119 appearances are indexed across 60 series.

Roscoe Dillon, a.k.a. the Top, had a childhood obsession with tops, which prompted him to learn how to spin faster and faster, eventually using this ability to start him off on a life of crime. The spinning actually increased his intelligence and he was able to design and build many trick tops which he used as aids in his criminal activities. Eventually he gained the ability to cause disorientation and vertigo in others. He counted Flash as his top adversary.
