- —Joseph Monteleone to Daniel Burge[src]
Joseph "Joey" Monteleone, nicknamed Tar Pit by Cisco Ramon, is a meta-human from Central City with the power to generate heated tar from his body. Just prior to the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion, Joseph was thrown into a tar pit by Daniel Burge and Clay Stanley, leading to him being affected moments later by the dark matter shockwave. Joseph spent two years trapped underground, but was able to escape when a construction crew made a hole in the ground. In an act of vigilantism, Joseph proceeded to hunt down and punish the men responsible for his near-death.
Biography
Early life
Joseph Monteleone's criminal record, status listed as "missing."
As a teenager, Joseph Monteleone committed a crime that placed him in a juvenile detention center. At the center, Joseph bunked with Daniel Burge.[1]
Particle accelerator accident
Joseph Monteleone before he became a meta-human.
Just prior to the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator going off, Joseph was coerced into giving Burge the account number to his money. Despite giving them the account number, Daniel Burge pushed Joseph over a balcony on Clay Stanley's orders, causing him to fall into a tar pit. As the particle accelerator went off, Joseph was buried beneath the ground for two years, unable to see or feel.[1]
As Tar Pit
2 years later, after a construction crew made a hole in the ground, freeing him, Joseph found Daniel Burge. Joseph told Daniel the pain he felt, then made him feel exactly the same pain by covering Daniel in tar, killing him. Joseph then went after Clay Stanley. The Flash intervened as Joseph was about to kill Clay. Joseph made an attempt to hit the Flash with a blast of fire, but the latter got out of the way, causing Joseph to hit a fire hydrant. The water melted Joseph, subduing him temporarily.
Joseph next went after Clark Bronwen (who drove the getaway car for Burge and Stanley the night of the particle accelerator explosion) at a drag race. Joseph disguised himself as the pavement, hurling Wally West, his racing opponent, and their cars toward Clark. The Flash rescued Clark, but a shard of glass pierced Iris's shoulder in the crossfire.
Outside of the Central City Police Department, Joseph waited as Joe used Clay as bait. Joseph, in a large, monstrous form, hurled a blast of fire toward Clay and Joe, though the two got out of the way in time. The Flash then arrived, hurling two nitrous grenades. Joseph's large form shattered, reverting him back to his previous form, and was knocked unconscious by Joe West.[1]
