Tag Harris (born c. 2003)[1] is a meta-human member of the Supermen of America. He is also a former resident of Smallville and a friend of Sean Smith.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Tag became a football player for Smallville High School[2] who specialized in receiving. Though his family was among the poorer people of Smallville,[3] Tag made many friends and was invited to a bonfire gathering held by the students.[4]
Acquiring powers[]
When Jordan Kent kissed Sarah, Sean's girlfriend, Tag and his friends helped him to beat up Jordan and his brother, Jonathan until the bonfire exploded, startling everyone and breaking Tag's arm.[4]
When the Kents moved to Smallville, Tag and his friends started bullying Jon at school, during his arrival and football practice.[2]
The next day, during football training, Tag asked Jonathan if the new player on the field was his brother Jordan.[5]
Tag started vibrating at different times causing Jonathan to worry. One of those vibrations was strong enough to break Tag's cast. During a party at Corey Wellnitz' lake house to celebrate the football team's latest victory, Tag's vibrations got worse. Jonathan and Jordan followed him into the woods and found him vibrating out of control. Using the ELT device that their dad gave them, Jonathan started calling him. After swiftly defeating Thaddeus Killgrave and the Intergang members present, Superman picked up Tag and took him high enough in the atmosphere to stop the vibrations by depriving him of oxygen. Sam Lane later mentioned that Tag is in the custody of the DoD and suspects that the heat vision that Jordan unleashed during the altercation set off a nearby yellow phosphorescence. He also mentioned that he will be transferred to a special school for people like him.[3]
Tag later ambushed Jordan as he was walking home from the Smallville Harvest Festival and demanded to know what he did to him.[6] Jordan used his signal device to call Superman, which caused Tag to flee, but was unable to capture him due to Tag using his speed to derail a train, forcing Superman to stop and fix it. Tag went to Sarah's house to talk to her, but he lost control of his powers and knocked her unconscious. Then he carried her to his hiding place in Metropolis and told her what he thought had happened during the explosion at the shuster mines; that Jordan was responsible. Eventually, Tag was found by Superman and General Lane's soldiers. They shot Tag, Superman blocked the bullets, being wounded by a kryptonite bullet in the process, and angry, he ordered them to stop. Tag was recaptured and returned to the premises.[7]
Member of the Supermen of America[]
Tag along with the Supermen of America.
Mitch Anderson later recruited Tag to be part of the Supermen of America. While assisting in taking down Phillip Karnowsky, Tag did check up on Superman after he had his latest painful vision and asked if he was alright.[1] Later, Tag and the other members went to Bolivia to try to stop Superman's Inverse World counterpart, but the others were killed and Tag injured. The real Superman appeared and saved him, giving him time to run away and get the pendant of Superman's counterpart.[8] Superman visited Tag, who was in recovery and he explains that he had to give the pendant to Anderson, as he had to follow the protocol.[9]

Tag is shown to join others to attack others.
Powers and abilities[]
Powers[]
- Meta-human physiology: Due to the exposure to the yellow phosphorescence, Tag's DNA was altered, turning him into a meta-human.[3]
- Vibration emission: Due to the exposure to the yellow phosphorescence that was unleashed the day when Jordan Kent's heat vision manifested, Tag started to develop vibrating powers with one vibration being strong enough to break his cast, a table corner off and punch through a tree.[3] He could also emit vibrations strong enough to send Jordan and Jonathan hurling towards the air.
- Superhuman strength: A by-product of his vibrations is that he has enhanced strength far more greater than a normal human being. He is able to imbue his fists with vibrations that are strong enough to injure Jordan with a series of punches.
- Superhuman speed: While vibrating, Tag can run at superhuman speed. According to Sam Lane, Tag's new-found speed rivals that of Superman.[3]
- Accelerated healing factor: Tag's broken arm healed faster than normal.[3]
