Roulette (Veronica 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.[2]

Fictional character biography

Roulette's grandfather was a Golden Age villain who ran a conventional casino and fought his brother Terry Sloane. After meeting the second Mister Terrific, Roulette comes to view him as an unworthy successor to Sloane. She runs a gladiatorial arena and forces superheroes to battle, coming into conflict with the Justice Society of America.

Roulette later obtains the fabled Book of Destiny, but is driven insane after reading its contents and viewing the future. She is also revealed to be working for the Key.[3][4][5]

Powers and abilities

Roulette has no apparent superhuman abilities, but is a skilled gambler. Furthermore, she wields robotic security dogs, advanced traps, and a pin-like dagger.

In other media

  • Roulette appears in Justice League Unlimited, voiced by Virginia Madsen.[6] This version runs an underground fight club called "Meta-Brawl" that highlights distrust towards metahumans and is an ally of the Secret Society.[7][8]
  • Victoria Sinclair / Roulette appears in Smallville, portrayed by Steph Song. This version is a mercenary, actress, and member of Toyman's Marionette Ventures.[9]
  • Roulette appears in the second season of Supergirl, portrayed by Dichen Lachman.[10] This version is a wealthy socialite who secretly makes money holding illegal alien fight clubs, in which she forces the alien participants, such as her best fighter M'gann M'orzz, to fight for their freedom. Roulette operates undetected until a series of violent alien-on-alien acts involving innocents draws the attention of Supergirl, Alex Danvers, Maggie Sawyer, and the Martian Manhunter, with Supergirl and Manhunter convincing the fighters to live better lives and end their involvement with Roulette. In the episode "Supergirl Lives", Roulette moves to the planet Maaldoria and establishes a human slave trade until Supergirl and Mon-El learn of her operation and instigate a revolution.
