[edit] Joker's Royal Flush Gang

"Oh, you're breaking an old man's heart, kids! Stand up to them, like I would! ...If I were there. And if I had super powers. And...oh for Pete's sake go back there and beat on them!" — The Joker

The members of the first Royal Flush Gang were subjects of United States government metahuman research. The Joker freed them from a government facility, and formed the group. Dressed up as playing cards, the Royal Flush Gang did the Joker's bidding.

[edit] Members:

• Ace (deceased): has mind-bending powers which enable her to drive anyone insane with just a single look.
• Jack: empowered with superhuman elasticity.
• King: is a pyrokinetic.
• Queen: has magnetic powers, being able to telekinetically control and reshape any kind of metal to her own will.
• Ten: has super-strength and is impervious to physical pain.

[edit] Ace's Royal Flush Gang

Another Royal Flush Gang was controlled by Ace, the mind-controlling girl from the first gang. After her death, the real "illusions" that Ace was projecting disappeared, leaving this new gang powerless.

• Ace (deceased)
• Jack
• King
• Queen
• Ten

[edit] Unknown Gangs

It is alluded to that several unseen gangs existed in the period leading up to Batman Beyond's time. It is also mentioned that these gangs are where the Walker family are descended from.

Whilst not considered canon, the Justice League Adventures comics featured a Royal Flush Gang with similarities to the Walker family.

[edit] Walker Family

The family of crooks known as the Royal Flush Gang preyed on Gotham City during Terry McGinnis' tenure as Batman. The gang utilizes weapons shaped like playing cards and flies across the city on card-shaped boards. While they don't have any superhuman powers, King is a master swordsman and Ace is an artificial human, and several of its members possess high-tech weaponry. Ten, the daughter of the bunch, is torn between her gentle and ruthless sides, and develops a rather unprofessional relationship with Batman. Queen alluded to the fact that positions on the gang have passed down her family line, with her father being the previous "King" of the group.

In this gang, it is known that King was once an enemy of the original Batman (Bruce Wayne), who broke up their gang for a while when King was Jack's age, possibly sending them to prison, explaining King's grudge against Batman (and which he takes out on Terry McGinnis, the new Batman).
