Tar Pit is a fictional supervillain in the DC comics and one of the new rogues of the current Flash (Wally West).
[edit] History
The younger brother of a local drug lord, Joey Monteleone was arrested for armed robbery. While serving time, he discovered he had the metahuman ability to inhabit inanimate objects. With this ability, he got his kicks by transferring his mind from object to object until he couldn't move his mind from a vat of asphalt. Now he remains in that hot tarpit while his real body remains unconscious and locked up in Iron Heights.
Now in his new form, Tarpit first caused havok at a Keystone City ice hockey game, trying to steal the Stanley Cup for himself . He was stopped by Flash and Captain Cold, although Cold himself stole the trophy. He has appeared sporadically with the other rogues ever since.
