Trickster (DC Comics)
The Trickster is a moniker used by three DC Comics supervillains, two of whom are enemies of the Flash. Both have been members of the Rogues. Both the James Jesse and Axel Walker incarnations of the character have been substantially adapted into television productions of DC Comics work. Actor Mark Hamill is most closely associated with the role, having played Jesse in two live-action television series and voiced the character in several animated and video game appearances. Devon Graye portrayed Walker in ''The Flash'' television series. Creation and publication history James Jesse first appeared in ''The Flash'' #113 (June–July 1960) and was created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino.
