Who is Tasmanian Devil?

History human Hugh Hugh Dawkins was born with an uncommon metahuman ability, to transform into a therianthropic Tasmanian devil. His family had a tough time accepting him for who he was: an openly gay, mutant-born shape-shifter. It wasn't until Hugh's differences saved his father's life that he would find approval in his family's eyes. A joking retelling of his origin implies that he was the son of a were-devil that belonged to a sect of Tasmanian devil-worshippers who, in exchange for the sale of his soul to a tasmanian devil, was granted a magical Tasmanian devil amulet as he was injected with radioactive Tasmanian devil musk that was freely given by a race of alien Tasmanian devils. The defender of his homeland, Dawkins worked alone until recruited into the Global Guardians , then later, the Justice League International , the Ultramarine Corps., then another version of the Global Guardians. Tasmanian Devil encountered Hush , who was at the time posing as Bruce Wayne . He did not realize that it was Hush. Recently, Tasmanian Devil was brutally killed by Prometheus (who started to hunt down members of Global Guardians , successfully killing Gloss and Sandstorm ) and then turned in.
