Fan Casting Trickster in Return to the DC Universe

Although James Jesse was the first Trickster, Axel Walker took the mantle for himself when he raided a warehouse with James' gadgets and "toys". So he became someone who would do the tricking, rather than the other way around. Working for many other villains like the Penguin and Blacksmith, Trickster finds himself as part of the Rogues. While he tries to prove his worth to their ranks, due to in-fighting and their own actions, part of him is feeling jaded by the group as a whole, but he sticks to them because he has no one else to rely on, outside of himself.
