Team Spotlight: Royal Flush Gang (Prime Earth)

I've featured the Royal Flush Gang on the blog before. Twice, actually. In one instance, it was a completely different Royal Flush Gang from a completely different source. The other one was a Royal Flush Gang with the same origin as this one, but on a different Earth with an entirely different roster.

See, that's the thing about the Royal Flush Gang. As long as they have an Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten, they can pretty much be whatever. If you click that first link above, you'll see a wide variety of Royal Flush Gang teams.

Batman Beyond's Royal Flush Gang first appeared in the episode "Dead Man's Hand" (1999). They were a family of thieves (Ace is an android), and Ten, aka Melanie Walker, developed a mutual attraction with Batman and eventually left the team.


By the time they appear in Batman Beyond #14 (November 2017), the team is down to just Ace, King, and Jack, and Jack is a new member.


The original team is seen in flashback the next month in Batman Beyond #15 (December 2017).
