The younger Tad had the nurturing influence of his uncle Bob Hope which perhaps led him to a more balanced perspective on life, something his older counterpart definitely lacked. When bullied or called a square by fellow students, Tad mysteriously transformed into the powerful teen titan known as Super-Hip. The source of his altered identity is unknown. Possessing winged boots allowing him to seemingly glide through the air, as well as an unnaturally strong physique, Super-Hip had a handful of misadventures.
The older Tad used his stylized Irish wailing and playing to influence his victims into paying him monetary support to insure their personal safety. Tad disguised himself as the remarkably limber known as Banshee. The reason he chose this alter ego is unknown. Possessing a spandex suit allowing him to elude capture, along with an aptitude for self-defenses, Banshee had some undocumented tales before becoming prominent.
On only one occasion where Super-Hip and Banshee even noticed by the superhero community of their worlds. For Tad-One, this happened when he was invited to the wedding of Doom Patrol members Steve "Mento" Dayton and Rita "Elasti-Girl" Farr... also attended by the Justice League and Teen Titans. For Tad-Two, this occurred when he met and battled Doctor Mid-Nite during one of his heists.
Apparently, in neither instance did this lead to more fame nor fortune. Super-Hip didn't leave a lasting impression on any of these teams, as he remained a solo hero. Banshee found himself quickly cornered by Mid-Nite during their second encounter.
