Later Gerneral Wade Eiling transfered his consciousness into the body shaved off the fur and became the General. There was a third shaggy man who appeared in Lex Luthor's Injustice League Unlimited.

There have been three Shaggy Man's. The first Shaggy Man's body was recovered by General Wade Eiling who placed his brain into the body because of a brain tumour he hoped would be cured due to the creature's regenerative properties. The body had been destroyed during Crisis on Infinite Earths.
