    “ I am Larry Crock. Friends call me "Crusher". ”
    — Larry Crock[src]

    Lawrence "Larry" Crock, also known as Crusher, was a world-class athletic criminal known as Sportsmaster and a former member of the villainous Injustice Society of America.

    Biography[edit | hide | hide all]

    Early Life[edit | hide]

    At some point, Larry Crock and his wife, Paula Brooks, had a daughter named Artemis and joined the Injustice Society of America.[4]

    Final Battle[edit | hide]

    On December 24, 2010, Crock was present at the final battle between the Justice Society of America and the Injustice Society of America where he fought Starman alongside Tigress. He later went outside while Starman and Stripesy were escaping.[1]

    Blue Valley[edit | hide]

    Crock later moved to Blue Valley with his family and the rest of the ISA where he opened his own gym called Ripped City Gym.[1]

    In 2020, Crock introduced himself to Pat Dugan and offered him a discount on a gym membership because he was new to the town. Pat later accepted this offer a few days later.[1]

    Crock was later present with his family at the Blue Valley High School open house event where he told Dugan that could not eat cookies because they were "not on the program", referring to his gym membership.[6]

    Some time later, Crock and his wife were unhappy with Blue Valley High's football coach for benching their daughter, so they confronted him in the parking lot and hit him over the head with a baseball bat, killing him instantly. Anaya Bowin then texted Jordan Mahkent to inform him about this as she was unhappy that she had to hire yet another coach.[4]

    Project: New America[edit | hide]

    Mahkent then went to confront them about this, and they responded by saying that they were tired of waiting for another ISA mission, so he told them to get their suits out of storage because they were going back into action that night.[4]

    They were sent to retrieve satellite codes from Empire Enterprises to advance Project: New America and while there they encountered the new Justice Society of America. Crock beat Hourman and almost succeeded in destroying the Cosmic Staff with his explosive hockey puck, but it luckily reactivated after a few seconds. He and Tigress were ready to fight the entire JSA at once until Dugan arrived in his S.T.R.I.P.E. armor, which prompted Crock to say that "date night was over" and to throw a flare shuttlecock in the air which produced a flash of light and smoke which allowed the pair to escape.[4]
