Invulnerability

Bork (Carl Bork) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Bob Haney and Neal Adams, the character first appeared in The Brave and the Bold #81 (December 1968) and was later re-introduced in JLA #61 (February 2002).

Fictional character biography

Bork serves hard time in the Van Kull Maximum Security facility outside Metropolis. While in prison, he regains his invulnerability along with super-strength and a monstrous appearance. He escapes Van Kull and battles Batman and the Flash, but manages to elude them and visit his mother in Newark, New Jersey. After his mother collapses from a weak heart, Batman talks Bork into surrendering himself to the authorities on the condition that they help her recover. Bork peacefully serves the remainder of his prison sentence, and Batman arranges for his mother to receive treatment.

After his parole, Bork attempts to find gainful legitimate employment, but is hampered by the disadvantages of his criminal record and monstrous appearance. He is later approached by Josiah Power with a job offer to join a new corporate heroes-for-hire organization called the Power Company. Bork accepts Power's offer and joins the team as an associate, later becoming roommates with co-worker Sapphire. Bork is later forced to fight in Roulette's metahuman brawls and appears as a client of the Oblivion Bar.

Carl Bork appears in The Flash episode "Seeing Red", portrayed by Andre Tricoteux.
