Lisa Snart

Lisa Snart is a fictional comic book supervillain who is also known by the code name of the Golden Glider. She appears in comic book titles published by DC Comics and is a foe of Barry Allen - the Silver Age Flash. The character was created by writer Cary Bates and artists Irv Novick and Vince Colletta. She first appeared in The Flash #250 in June, 1977.

Overview
Lisa Snart was the younger sister of Leonard Snart, who had already distinguished himself as a super-villain going by the name of Captain Cold. A former professional ice skater, Lisa Snart was romantically involved with her trainer, Roscoe Dillon, who would likewise become a foe of the Flash using the name The Top. The Top was killed in action during a battle against the Flash, and Lisa naturally blamed Barry Allen for his death. Swearing vengeance against him, she incorporated some of her brother's cold-generation technology into her ice skates, which enabled her to skate across the air.

After Barry Allen died during the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, Lisa Snart largely went into retirement. However, she did hire herself out for mercenary work, which occasionally brought her into conflict with Barry's super-speed successor, Wally West.

Years later, Lisa Snart entered into a partnership with another cold-based super-villain named Chillblaine. Chillblaine turned against the Golden Glider however and murdered her. Her corpse was briefly resurrected as a Black Lantern during the "Blackest Night".
