A member of the Morlocks, Tar Baby was one of those who survived the "Mutant Massacre", where the Marauders hunted down and killed many Morlocks.
Tar Baby was later captured by the Weapon X program, which was led by Malcolm Colcord, and put to death in "Neverland", Weapon X's concentration camp.
Tar Baby could secrete a tar-like substance through his skin that caused him to stick on to anything he came in contact with.
Tar Baby appears along with the other Morlocks in the X-Men animated series in the episode "Captive Hearts".
