Roulette (Veronica Sinclair; originally named Victoria Sinclair) is a supervillain in the DC Comics universe.

Publication history

Roulette first appeared in JSA Secret Files #2 (September 2001) and was created by Geoff Johns and Derec Aucoin.[1]

Fictional character biography

Roulette's grandfather was a Golden Age villain of the same name who ran a conventional casino and fought Terry Sloane.[2] The current Roulette believes Sloane to be her grandfather, but it is indicated that her grandfather was actually Sloane's brother Ned. Having encountered the second Mister Terrific (Michael Holt) during one of her schemes, she has come to view him as an unworthy successor to Sloane.

Roulette runs an arena called the House, where she captures heroes and pits them against each other. In her first appearance, Roulette captures the Justice Society of America and forces them to fight one another.

Roulette later attempts to destroy the fabled Book of Destiny until an alien villain with a probability-based weapon steals it from her. It is revealed that she had been dating the thief and had damaged her mind after reading the book and seeing into the future.[3]

Powers and abilities

Roulette has no apparent superhuman abilities, but is a genius when calculating odds and gambling winnings. Roulette wields robot security dogs similar to those found on Apokolips, automated security devices, and a series of death traps.
