| “ | You think by hurting yourself, it's gonna make you feel better about the fire? You don't know anything about me, man. Guess again, kid. I'm you. What? That's right. You're too young to understand. But understand this: it wasn't your fault. I let that flame get out of control, like you said. I ran out without waking anybody, like you said. I was just so afraid. You were just a kid. I spent my whole life blaming you, hating you for something you didn't mean to do. Why are you telling me this? You can't change the things you did. But you can change what you become. Don't be like me. Be better. |

Mick Rory was a pyromaniac criminal active in Central City and later reformed to be a Legend. He was nicknamed Heat Wave by Cisco Ramon due to his use of the Heat Gun during his partnership with Leonard Snart.
In 2016, he was recruited to join the Legends. During the activities of hunting down Vandal Savage, he was attracted to the chaotic environment of Star City of Earth-16 in the year 2046, and he was forcibly taken away by the team. Snart then had a fight with Rory and abandoned him at an unknown point in time where the Time Masters noticed his activities at the time and recruited him as a bounty hunter known as Chronos, before betraying the Time Masters.
