Tar Pit is a supervillain in the DC Comics universe and one of the new rogues of the current Flash (Wally West). The character was created by Geoff Johns. The character has been called a "Clayface knockoff".

Tar Pit made his live-action debut on the second season of The Flash, portrayed by Marco Grazzini.

The younger brother of a local drug lord Jack Monteleone, 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 (for example, a fire hydrant which he used to spray the Flash in vol. 2, #73) to object until he couldn't move his mind from, of course, a vat of asphalt. Now he remains in that hot tar pit while his real body remains unconscious and is being abused by his padded-cellmate in Iron Heights.

Now in his new form, Tar Pit first caused havoc 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.

Tar Pit has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
