THE FLASH Adds HEROES REBORN Actor Marco Grazzini As 'Tar Pit'
A big new meta-human is coming to Central City when The Flash returns from its winter hiatus. A new report has revealed that Heroes Reborn actor Marco Grazzini has signed on to guest star on an upcoming episode as the villainous 'Tar Pit.' Come check it out!
Our friends over at ComicBook have learned that the second season of The Flash has cast Marco Grazzini (Heroes Reborn) as Joseph "Joey" Montelone a.k.a. Tar Pit. The character is being described as a vengeful meta-human with the ability to transform himself into molten asphalt. It's a little unclear how he comes across Barry Allen's alter-ego, but when he does, he's going to use his powers to gain a powerful tactical advantage over The Flash, who will find himself in a whole world of trouble as the ground literally shifts beneath his feet. Grazzini will make his debut as Tar Pit during the second-half of this season.

Last year, the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark matter storm that struck forensic scientist Barry Allen — bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive. But Barry wasn’t the only person who was given extraordinary abilities that night. The dark matter also created meta-humans — many of whom have wreaked havoc on the city. With the help of the S.T.A.R Labs team, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon and Dr. Harrison Wells, Barry protects the people of Central City from these powerful new threats as The Flash. Following the defeat of Allen's arch-nemesis Eobard Thawne (aka Reverse Flash), Team Flash must quickly turn their attention to the singularity swirling high above Central City, consuming everything in its path. Armed with the heart of a hero and the ability to move at super speeds, Barry charged into the eye of the singularity, but can he actually save his city from impending doom?
