Lawrence "Crusher" Crock, better known as Sportsmaster, is a minor antagonist in DC Comics, being an enemy of the Justice Society of America, Green Lantern, and the Flash. He is a member of the League of Assassins, the Injustice Society, the Secret Society of Super Villains, Leviathan, and the Suicide Squad.

Biography[]

Modern Age[]

Lawrence "Crusher" Crock was one of the world's greatest natural athletes and excelled in virtually every sport, a number of which he played professionally. Crock was so obsessed with winning that he would do almost anything to win, no matter how unsportsmanlike or even brutal it was. Finally, after he permanently crippled another player during a professional football game, Crock was fired from the team and barred from professional sports as a whole. Crock then decided to use his prowess in sports for crime.

While disguised as the leader of a "mystery" team, he tried to rob the spectators at a polo match. However, he and his accomplices fled after clashing with the original Green Lantern. Later, Crock seemingly fell to his death while trying to kill Green Lantern. Crock somehow remained alive and returned as the Sportsmaster, as a costumed criminal who used his athletic ability and ingeniously gimmicked sports equipment to commit robberies. Crock joined the Injustice Society and struck up a fruitful partnership-criminal and romantic with Paula Brooks/Huntress (originally known as Tigress).

New 52[]

Suicide Squad Vol 4 3 Textless

Rex the Mad Dog

In The New 52, Sportsmaster first appeared in Batman Incorporated Vol 2 #4 (2012) as a member of Leviathan. Eventually, he and his roommate Clock King tried to steal a store together. However, they were stopped by Harley Quinn and Power Girl, but Clock King managed to teleport them to another world using his watch. In the Dawn of DC, Sportsmaster joined the Suicide Squad.

A character similar to Sportsmaster known as Mad Dog / Rex was later introduced as a member of the Suicide Squad. His appearance seems to be based on Sportsmaster from the Young Justice series.

Other Media[]

Justice League Unlimited[]

Sportsmaster made a cameo appearance in the episode "The Cat and the Canary" as part of Roulette's Meta Brawl. He later makes a few appearances as part of the Legion of Doom.

In the Justice League two-part episode "Legends", an alternate version of Sportsmaster called Sportsman appears. In the episode, he was voiced by Michael McKean.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold[]

Sportsmaster appears in the episode "Invasion of the Secret Santas" where he and his gang attack a Christmas eve bowling event where they steal trophies and use hostages as pins and was about to blow them up with an explosive ball however he is defeated Batman and Blue Beetle. He later appears in the episode "Hail the Tornado Tyrant" where he and his gang rob a bank but are thwarted by Red Tornado and his son. In the episode "Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure", he is shown on the road with his wife Tigress and his daughter Artemis, apparently on vacation.

Young Justice[]

Sportsmaster is an antagonist in the TV show Young Justice, being seen here as the father of Artemis and Cheshire, whom he had with his former criminal partner and ex-wife, Paula Brooks, the former Huntress. He was one of the operatives with The Light, as well as one of the Ra's al Ghul's assassins in the League of Assassins.

To infiltrate the Light, Kaldur pretended to ally with his father, Black Manta, and then "killed" Artemis, to both create the sense of his loyalty and so she could also infiltrate the group as Tigress. Not knowing this plan, Sportsmaster believed his daughter was murdered, thus plots to assassinate Kaldur in revenge; although, he claims it isn't out of actual grief, but a matter of his own personal "honour."
