Tony Woodward

Tony Woodward was a steel-mill worker whose violent temper cost him his job. When his co-workers threw him into a vat of scrap metal during an accident, he emerged transformed — his body converted into living steel, making him a brutish new threat for the Flash.

Forged in the Modern Age of DC Comics, Tony Woodward made his mark when Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins introduced him in Flash #183 in 2002 — a debut that planted him firmly in one of comics' most kinetic corners of the DC Universe. Over roughly eighteen years, he's kept dangerous company, sharing pages with the likes of The Flash, Wally West, Green Lantern, and the roguish Trickster, placing him squarely in the thick of Central City's colorful chaos. He's even earned a spot in Cover Story: The DC Comics Art of Brian Bolland, a testament to the lasting visual legacy of the world he inhabits. With 27 catalog appearances across nearly two decades, Tony Woodward is the kind of Modern Age discovery that rewards the dedicated reader hunting for the full picture of Flash lore.
