Who is Snapper Carr?

Lucas Carr was nicknamed "Snapper" for his habit of snapping his fingers when happy. A student at Happy Harbor High, Snapper had just finished spreading lime on the family lawn when all the inhabitants of the town came under the mental control of one of Starro the Conqueror 's deputies - except Snapper. The Flash ( Barry Allen ) arrived and defeated the Starro deputy and discovered Snapper's immunity to its powers. Barry took Snapper with him to meet the rest of the Justice League , where Hal (Green Lantern) Jordan used his power ring to discover that the teenager's hands were covered in lime. Aquaman pointed out that oystermen use lime to kill starfish which prey on oysters. Green Lantern then used lime to coat Starro and destroy him. Snapper was made an honorary JLA member for his help in defeating Starro. For the next few years, Snapper became known as the JLA's mascot.
