New 52
In the New 52, J.P Houston is one of the founder of the Green Team, an organization dedicated to making the most out of their immense wealth. Hesitant at first, he stays with the team due to the insistence of his sister, L.L, and his secret affair with Commodore Murphy’s girlfriend, Cecilia Sunbeam.
Mohammed Qahtani, or Mo, gave him the undercover name “Yowie”. The disc that gave the team their powers transformed J.P. into a sasquatch type creature with incredible strength. He initially manifested this ability when Cecilia Sunbeam was “murdered”, enraging him. He couldn’t control this abilities, until the previously thought dead Cecilia, reappeared and calmed him down.
He appears to only listen to Cecilia.
