| Joey's older brother Jack was a drug kingpin in Keystone City, and tried to give Joey work in trafficking. Joey never took his job seriously and soon ended up in Iron Heights penitentiary. When it finally occurred to him that his brother couldn't get him out of this mess Joey took to meditation to relax. He discovered he had the mutant ability to project his astral form into inanimate objects and animate them. He spent his nights animating objects outside of prison and causing havoc. One day his astral self got stuck in an animated vat of tar, but Joey didn't mind. Naming himself Tar Pit he forgot about his old body that had fallen into a coma in Iron Heights. | ||||
