Like other similar antagonists in Looney Tunes, he is a typical 'dumb muscle' but is relatively more criminal in his personality and much more intimidating, especially in his nearly superhuman physique and threatening use of his revolver pistols.
A few seconds later, Daffy and Porky exhibit wild side effects, turning green, reciting Mary Had a Little Lamb in childish voices and mannerisms, and briefly acting like they are both motorized.
Daffy then vies for the attention of Canasta, leaving the scene and returning first as the whip-wielding (and stereotypically Mexican) "Frisco Kid", then in a suit reminiscent of Superman's as "Superguy".

In Barbary Coast Bunny, a rather different version of Nasty Canasta appears—now with a dopier look, complete with pudgy lips and crooked teeth (and voiced not by Mel Blanc, but by Daws Butler).
Just outside the swinging door exit, Bugs proclaims the moral of the episode to be, "Don't try to steal no 18 carrots [karats] from no rabbit."
At first, he appears as a typical science fiction bounty hunter, but after switching clothing to blend in at the resort he lands at, he resembles his look from Drip-Along Daffy.
Nasty Canasta appears in Looney Tunes: Back in Action[8] in his look from Drip-Along Daffy, voiced by Jeff Bennett.
