From the C-list of the Flash’s Rogues Gallery:
Roscoe Dillon was a small-time crook who turned his childhood obsession with tops into a criminal persona. Roscoe taught himself how to spin around fast enough to deflect bullets and produce other semi-useful effects. As The Top, he uses his unique gimmick to commit burglaries and other crimes. His moderate success in crime soon makes him a respected member of the Flash’s rogues galler
Dillon soon discovers that all the spinning somehow increases his intelligence as well, allowing him to create a variety of trick tops. Eventually, the Top develops immense psionic powers, as years of spinning moves dormant brain cells to the outer areas of his brain, endowing him with mental powers.
