cheeses, wheezes... I'm struggling to think of anyone who didn't get their own book. Who haven't they published?
Is it Tasmanian Devil?

It is Tasmanian Devil. I thought of him when Blacula said how he missed the last character because he was posting from Australia.
The multiple personality is because he is described as being a pacifist in his human form, but more aggressive when in his Tas form. The costume thing I found to be a subjective thing. It appears to be just fur rather than a costume, although if it was just him in furry form, he'd have genitalia showing. Of course as a family friendly comic you can't show that. The supernatural bit was from that one version of his origin that does sound like it is a joke origin.

It was the "who doesn't have a costume" that clicked. I didn't know about his supernatural origin, but thought about Werewolves (thanks to Indian Lad's Fright Night review on the horror thread). I was thinking about Queen Bee taking over the global guardians as perhaps the split personality.
I went through Shade, Ragman, Firestorm, Phantom Stranger, '70s Starman and on and on with that one.
Front & Center Easy! Ah'm thinking of a DC character and the one who gets it, is the one who doesn't get latrine cleaning duty! Now git Guessin'!

From the Wikipedia article on him: Hugh Dawkins is a born metahuman with the ability to turn into a supernaturally large and intelligent Tasmanian Devil, in a fashion similar to a werewolf.[1] An alternate origin has jokingly been offered, claiming that Hugh's mother was a were Tasmanian Devil who raised him in a Tasmanian Devil cult, which gave him a Tasmanian Devil amulet after selling his soul to a Tasmanian Devil and injecting him with a radioactive Tasmanian Devil musk from a race of alien Tasmanian Devils which gave him his powers

[I]Hugh Dawkins ...turn into a supernaturally large and intelligent Tasmanian Devil, in a fashion similar to a werewolf.[1] "Well, I'm not going to give any credit to Indian Lad for the inspiration." Hey! Stan Lee! Quit posting using my ID. Darn it! Now where were we...? Nope.

Over to you Thothkin Good character Quis! Glad I could be some inspiration. I was a long way from getting this one though. My mind didn't go to Tas (or any of the Global Guardians) at all! I'm impressed that TK was able to get it with the relatively non-leading clues we had! My mind was stuck on the Phantom Stranger for some reason, but of course he didn't fit the "not really linked to the supernatural" clue.

As for TK's character -
Can your character survive unaided in space?

Is this character a support character or a main character rather than a group character?
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Support character, male, non-powered...that's limiting the pool some. Gets you down to guys like Snapper Carr or Dale Gunn, and that's just for JLA.

Wait, not male, then that takes us to characters like Sue Dibney or Catherine from JLU.
