Crowbar is a fictional supervillain in the DC Universe. He first appeared in Justice League of America #233 (December 1984).
Malcolm 'Crowbar' Tandy was part of a Detroit gang when the Overmaster infused his namesake weapon with incredible energy and drafted him into his first Cadre. Crowbar’s original crowbar was destroyed during a battle with Justice League. Later, while a regular at the supervillain bar called 'The Dark Side', he lost a replacement crowbar in a card game to an investigative reporter named Tortolini. Several of his supervillain friends lost their items of power also. In Justice League Of America #44 Crowbar and his friends reclaimed the items from the man, but they were soon defeated in a battle with the Justice League. Crowbar was defeated by Lightray.
He was last seen in San Francisco when he and the rest of the Cadre battled the Power Company alongside Doctor Polaris ('Power Company #5, August 2002).
Crowbar appears with Cadre members Black Mass, Fastball, and Shatterfist in the Justice League Unlimited "Clash", where they were defeated by Superman and Batman. He later returns as a member of Gorilla Grodd's Legion of Doom.
