[3] Hugh Dawkins is usually depicted as a metahuman born with the ability to turn into a giant and intelligent Tasmanian devil.

[6] When Queen Bee reformed the Global Guardians as part of her scheme to brainwash heroes, Dawkins was left out of the roster due to his connections to the Justice League.

Dawkins would join the League in a mission to Bialya,[8] which would turn out to be an illegal invasion, as Queen Bee's mole in the UN, Ambassador Heimlich, had fired Captain Atom, Elongated Man, Ice, and Blue Beetle.

[9] Once the Bee's massive brainwashing efforts are uncovered, Dawkins would learn that Doctor Mist, Jack O'Lantern, and Owlwoman had been replaced by imposters, with the real heroes either missing or dead.

He has previously been romantically interested in JLA liaison Joshua Barbazon, had a crush on Hal Jordan[18] and is dating Starman, Mikaal Thomas.

The other adult female team members, Power Girl and Doctor Light, are unavailable to assist due to previous commitments.

Lionheart, though his secondary mission is to discredit the League, sees the nobility in Taz and the others and helps them chase off the aliens.

[20] Taz recovers in time to help his JLE teammates and dozens of other heroes defeat the Bloodlines aliens.

Raylene confronts a fear of drowning, while Tas' hallucination concerns the abusive treatment his mother heaped upon his father.

[31] During the 52 maxi-series, Tas and other powered beings, including Gloss and Manticore, face a rage-maddened Black Adam in Sydney, Australia.

[34] However, it is revealed by Gorilla City citizen Malavar that Taz was "flayed and stripped of flesh" before being healed via a Lazarus Pit, after which he joins the Justice League's reserve roster.

[35] In DC Pride, Tasmanian Devil joins Justice League Queer, which his husband Extraño assembles to defeat Eclipso.

[36][37] In the Doomsday Clock storyline, Tasmanian Devil joins the Sleeping Soldiers, Australia's sanctioned superhero team.

In this form, he possesses super strength, claws, advanced healing, razor sharp fangs, and the ability to grow larger in size.
