Captain Cold, real name Leonard Snart, is a comic book villain created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino as one of the rogues of Flash. He is a leader of the Rogues. A fan favorite, Captain Cold has served as a bitter enemy to the Silver-Age Flash Barry Allen, both enemy and grudging friend to the modern-day Flash Wally West, and one of the killers of the fourth Flash Bart Allen.
Cold was the second supervillain to face the Silver-Age Flash in Showcase #8 (February 1957).
IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains Of All Time List ranked Captain Cold as #27.

“The captain was a duck
With a packet on his back,
And when the ship began to move
The captain said, Quack! Quack!”

“Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago, a church stands near,
By the road an ancient cross.
No marble, no conventional phrase;
On limestone quarried near the spot
By his command these words are cut:
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman pass by!”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
