One Perfect Moment of the Trickster
The first Trickster was a different sort of villain. For one thing, he wasn't very villainous. After the death of Barry Allen in Crisis on Infinite Earths, he went on to find a home in the pages of Blue Devil, annoying the heck out of Dan Cassidy. After that book's cancellation, he continued to pop up here and there, annoying the heck out of Catwoman, Impulse, Neron and anyone else he ran into as he traipsed through life on his airwalker shoes. But as the world of DC got darker and bleaker, the less the Trickster fit in. DC's writers just didn't know what to do with such a happy fun guy in a universe that had lost its sense of humour. They replaced him with a sociopathic kid who was more to their liking. They turned him into an FBI agent who was more evil than he had ever been as a villain. Then finally, as they do with every character they don't know what to do with, they killed him off.
From Secret Origins, here is Trickster annoying the heck out of Booster Gold. This is the Trickster in a nutshell: His origin, his method and his motivation, all on one page (technically it's two pages but only the one is needed.)
Rest in peace, Trickster. You were the best.

It makes him feel pretty.
One of the newer pairings to come out of DC is Piper/Trickster, a relationship between two semi-reformed members of the Flash's rogue gallery. One interesting thing about this ship is that, unlike many slash pairings, Piper is canonically gay. However, Trickster is a hundred percent straight, completely heterosexual. After all, how could anyone but a straight man be this interested in women's underwear?
( Right Catwoman? )
