Girder

A former steel mill worker transformed into a living creature of solid steel after a freak industrial accident, Girder became one of the Flash's super-strong, near-indestructible adversaries in Central City.

A heavy-hitting Modern Age villain who crashed onto the scene in Flash #183 in 2002, courtesy of the legendary creative team of Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins, Girder has been a recurring menace in DC's corner of the universe for nearly two decades. Sharing the pages with speedster Wally West, the mischievous Trickster, and even Green Lantern, this bruiser has proven durable enough to keep showing up wherever trouble finds The Flash. With 27 catalog appearances stretching from 2002 all the way to 2020 and even a nod in the celebrated Cover Story: The DC Comics Art of Brian Bolland, Girder is exactly the kind of persistent, hard-edged antagonist that gives Central City's greatest hero a real reason to break a sweat.
