History: <30th Century> Tusker tried out for the Legion of Super-Heroes, unaware that the team had been taken over by the villain Dynamo Boy, who rejected Tusker and mocked him. Tusker swore vengeance on the Legion, and joined up with Eyeful Ethel, another Legion reject, and together they were determined to become suervillains. Tusker and Ethel couldn't find any villains who wanted to associate with them.

Tusker and Ethel met Ron-Karr of the Legion of Super-Villains, who, tired of the annoying duo, told them they could join if they destroyed Bismoll's computer network. Tusker and Ethel succeeded, but still didn't get their membership cards.

Tusker gave up his aspirations of evil and took a job at an insta-food emporium.

Due to the events of Zero Hour Tusker's existence was erased from history.
