Rock is the name of a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.

Micah Flint was an astronaut who volunteered to participate in a program of genetic engineering that was intended to modify human physiology and anatomy in such a way as to render humans fit to sustain stays in outer space without much sophisticated technology. Although the program at first seemed to be a complete success it finally became clear that its success was achieved at a high price: as a consequence of the genetic experimentation he had been subjected to Flint's body gradually mutated into a rock-like creature. While retaining an anthropomorphic stature Flint's flesh picked up the consistency of rocks and his skin started to look like limestone. Blaming billionaire Lex Luthor, the owner of LexCorp and architect of the failed experiment, for his destiny, Flint - who now started calling himself Rock - raided Luthor's penthouse atop the LexCorp Headquarters in the LexCorp Tower. His attempt to slay Luthor was thwarted by Superman who defeated Rock in battle and handed him over to the authorities.^[5]

Together with Parasite, Barrage, and Baud, he formed the second line-up of the post-Crisis Squad. Even though the unlikely quartet managed to lure Superman into a trap and to press him hard, the Man of Steel finally managed to outwit them once again defeating and capturing Rock in the process.^[8][9]

Later on, Rock was among several villains manipulated by Manchester Black into seeking out and attacking Superman's friends and family.^[10]
