Earth-1A Continuity

In late 1977, the alien conqueror known as Grax attempted to seed the Earth with a series of highly-advanced bombs. Tuatara teamed up with Justice League member 'Red Tornado' to stop Grax's efforts. During this time, he met the Tornado's allies, the SuperFriends, as well as several other international heroes including Bushmaster, Jack O’Lantern‎‎, Rising Sun and Thunderlord.

Tuatara sustained a massive head trauma while fighting Fain Y'onia. He is currently in a coma.

Trivia

• Tuatara is one of the few characters in the DC Universe who is considered a true Mutant. In all likelihood, he probably possesses the Meta-gene, which enables him to see into the future. Most mutants in the DC Universe are commonly referred to as Metahumans, to differentiate them from the more popular Mutants of Marvel Comics.
