Leonard Snart (Arrowverse)

Sign in to edit

Leonard Snart is a character in The Flash and DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Through his use of a cold gun invented by Cisco Ramon to stop evil speedsters, he became known as Captain Cold, a nickname also invented by the same person who created Leonard's signature weapon.  Leonard was initially obsessed with taking down the Flash, even going far as to know his secret identity as Barry Allen.  However, he eventually became a former adversary and reluctant ally of Team Flash.  Over time he became a vigilante and came a full-fledged hero when he sacrificed himself to save his teammates, becoming A Legend after all, serving as an inspiration for his friends and making Rory realize he can do better as a hero than a criminal.  

His Earth-X counterpart appears in Crisis on Earth-X, where he is called Leonard "Leo" Snart, the leader of the resistance against the Nazis on their world who briefly becomes a member of the Legends.

Later, Jefferson Jackson became the second Captain Cold to honor Snart a couple of years after his sacrifice.

History[]

Powers and Abilities[]

Abilities[]

  • Leadership: Snart was the leader of a successful band of robbers before getting his Cold Gun.
    • Tactical Analysis: Snart has shown the ability to estimate police arrival times to the second, and was capable of using this ability to perform many flawless robberies before meeting the Flash/the Streak.
  • Mechanical Aptitude: Although he lacks the scientific knowledge necessary to build the Cold Gun, he has sufficient understanding to repair and maintain it and recognise when it has been tampered with.
  • Thievery: Snart is the greatest robber of Central City, being able to plan a heist several weeks in advance. Having no Metahuman skills, Snart relies solely on his wit and tech, pulling off numerous successful heists. He is also capable of stealing wallets from people when distracting them with conversation.
  • Surveillance: Snart regularly listens in on police radio chatter. He successfully determines the response time of the cops for his heists. However, his numbers were thrown off by the response time of the speedster.
  • Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Having suffered abuse from his father and in juvie, Snart learned how to defend himself. Because of the years he spent as a thief, he is well-trained; he is on even fighting terms with Mick. He is capable of holding his own against at least one properly trained soldier.
  • Marksmanship: When armed with a normal gun, Snart has shown a great deal of skill. He is able to kill a Wild West outlaw before he had a chance to shoot Professor Stein, with barely a movement. He is also a great sniper, being able to knock guns out of enemies' hands with single shots.

Weaknesses[]

  • Kleptomania: Snart steals things on impulse.

Equipment[]

  • Cold Gun

Trivia[]

  • Despite showing interest in Sara Lance and being written as pansexual, Wentworth Miller identifies as gay in real life.
  • He hates his father Lewis Snart for abusing his younger sister, Lisa.
