A hip version of an existing teenage superhero, such as Robin, Supergirl, or existing teenage civilian such as Jimmy Olsen was ruled out, as these characters would tend to over emphasize the hero with whom they were already associated.

At the end of the first adventure, Snapper received a belt with a signal device embedded in the buckle, with which he can summon members of the JLA. In keeping with his hip character, Justice League members later rebuilt a hot rod car so that it could fly and whisk Snapper to JLA meetings. As written by Gardner Fox, Snapper Carr had the most distinctive personality of all the members of the Justice League. Foxs writing focused on action, not character, and the dialogue he gave his superheroes was so bland as to be interchangeable among the characters. Snapper not only had the most distinctive means of speaking with his extreme hipster slang, but he had the most clearly written and individualist character of all the recurring characters in the comic book. Within a few years, Fox got rid of the hipster slang and had Snapper speak in a more mainstream way, which had the side effect of giving the character no discernible personality.

Justice League of Americac faces the threat of Starro, a giant alien starfish with mind control powers. Snapper Carr, who is spreading lime on his familys lawn, is unaffected by Starro when the alien takes mental control of the population of Happy Harbor, Rhode Island. Members of the Justice League realize that Starro can be incapacitated using lime, and the alien is defeated. Comic book historian Ramzi Fawaz has argued that this adventure is a critical one in the development of the modern comic book. Not only does it mark the beginning of the superhero who identifies as a defender of the world rather than a nation, it marks the first time that a world destroying rather than nation destroying threat was depicted in comics. Snapper Carrs inclusion was also important. Whereas pre World War II social norms had emphasized family connections as the most important relationships in a young persons life, the Justice League offered a new kind of relationship, based solely on ethical commitments to the world, which could supplant the family. Snapper also represented a new egalitarian future, one in which youth could be accepted alongside older adults rather than patronized or excluded.

Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC Comics rebooted its fictional universe and the back stories of nearly all its characters. This required retellings of many of origin stories, including that of the Justice League of America. The first adventures of the Justice League, and that of Snapper Carr, were retold in the 1.

In the fictional character chronology, this story occurs before and shortly after The Brave and the Bold 2. In the story, the Appellaxians conspired with a new criminal organization, Locus, to take over Earth. Snappers uncle, Simon Carr, made his first appearance in the second issue,2. Simon is the contact person for an ultra wealthy individual later revealed to be Oliver Queen who wishes to financially support the Justice League in its mission. Simon introduced the League to college student and genius inventor Ted Kord who is also the superhero Blue Beetle, who provided them with some technology, and to his nephew, Snapper. The adventure with Starro took place between JLA Year One issues 3 and 4,3. Snapper played a critical role in issue 9 in alerting the League to the Appellaxian attack on Earth. In issue 1. 0, he deduced that his uncle had been possessed by the Appellaxian leader, and had the League defeat Simon and then free him from alien control. Another Snapper Carr story appeared in 2. Justice League. This time, Snapper assists the Atom in building equipment and running software programs to fight the villain Chronos. Betrayal of the JLAeditGardner Fox left Justice League of America with issue 6. Dennis ONeil took over scripting duties. By this time, the Snapper Carr character was immensely unpopular. ONeil felt Snapper was outdated and no longer fit with the Justice League. He considered two options Letting the character disappear without explanation, or writing the character out of the book.
