Bio:
While the first Trickster was working for the FBI, teenager Axel Walker stole all of Jesse's gadgets and shoes and became the new Trickster. He joined Blacksmith's Network and destroyed files from Goldface and Hunter Zolomon for her. He was also given new "toys" in addition to Jesse's originals, in addition to creating some of his own. After the defeat of Blacksmith, he was invited to join the new Rogues led by Captain Cold, and accepted.
He remained with the new Rogues until the "reformed" Rogues attempted to stop Cold. While the two Tricksters were fighting, the Top gave Jesse's memory back. The original Trickster then defeated his successor and told him never to become the Trickster again, sending him to Blackgate Prison. After some time, Axel escaped from prison and returned to Keystone City. However, he was quickly defeated by the Flash.
Axel's next major crime put him in the path of Detective Chimp, when he answered an ad from four college students asking for an experienced superhero to train them. He had dinner with them and then killed all four of them. His crime was discovered when Detective Chimp used his remarkable deductive powers to help deduce who the murderer was. Axel was then arrested again.
Final Crisis: Rogues' Revenge
With the "reformed" Trickster dead, Axel returned as The Trickster for good. Throughout these first few days back, Axel was taught what it took to be a true Rogue. When Trickster is told he needs to earn his place in The Rogues he asks how. Mirror Master responds by telling him "Yeh don't tell Cold why yeh wanna be here, yeh tell him why yeh need to be here." At the end of the series Trickster participates in the murder of Inertia.
During the Blackest Night, he fought along with the Rogues against Black Lantern Rogues. He personally fought the original Trickster Black Lantern, but had little success.
The Flash (again)
The Trickster and the Rogues visit Sam Scudder's old hideout and unveil a giant mirror with the words In Case of Flash: Break Glass written on it. Afterward, Axel is still on the run with the Rogues. He is seen speeding away in the Trickster Mobile being chased by the Flash (Barry Allen). The Trickster drives off a cliff and escapes the vehicle while the Flash takes the car apart in the air.
Flashpoint
In the alternate timeline of the Flashpoint event, Axel Walker, known in this reality as the Trixter, was imprisoned in Iron Heights. He and the Rogues escape from Iron Heights and, though uninvited, he then followed the other Rogues to their hideout. The Trixter claims to them that he plans to kidnap Citizen Cold's sister, Lisa Snart. Axel pursues revenge on Citizen Cold for murdering the original Trickster. However, the Rogues find out that the Trixter has been working for Citizen Cold all along. Mirror Master kills him by making him enter his mirrorverse, causing him to die, as only Evan can survive in the mirrorverse thanks to Citizen Cold.
The New 52
In the New 52, Axel returns in the post-Flashpoint reality as a member of the Rogues, though he is kicked out by Captain Cold in a fit of drunken rage. This would turn out to be a good thing in the long run, as the rest of the Rogues soon gained undesirable metahuman powers. He is later seen as a part of his own gang, hanging out in the desert in a tank, unmasked and out of costume.
During the gorilla invasion, he rescued Captain Cold, and attempted to reason with an invading Gorilla Grodd, which led to him losing his right hand.
Don't be fooled, Axel is actually a human pinata.
