Mick Rory, "Heatwave," is one of the most surprising characters across the Legends. He starts as a brutal criminal and partner of Leonard Snart, and across the seasons becomes a beloved character with comic-emotional weight far beyond what one might have expected. He turns out to be a secret novelist, a half-father in complicated ways, and one of the strongest emotional supports in the team. [1]
