The Flash actually enjoyed a fairly friendly relationship with Jesse, and was able to reason with him even in his delusional state. When off his medication, James Jesse would revert to his 'villainous' persona and begin wearing his Trickster costume (evidently without being fully aware of the fact). The Trickster was perhaps not so much evil as he was deluded, apparently suffering from a psychiatric disorder that could ordinarily be treated with medication. involved a variety of 'gag' weaponry, often based on classic comedic props.
