Volcana eventually escapes the agents and becomes a thief and fugitive. She is eventually recaptured, but Superman rescues her and takes her to a deserted island. Volcana also makes a cameo appearance in the episode "Unity", in which she fights Supergirl. Volcana appears in issues #20 and #41 of the tie-in comic Superman Adventures.

In the Justice League episode "Only a Dream", Volcana is incarcerated in a Metropolis prison before escaping during a riot. She joins forces with fellow escapee Firefly, but both are subdued by the Justice League. In Justice League Unlimited, it is revealed that the government project who kidnapped and experimented on her is part of Project Cadmus. She later joins Gorilla Grodd's Secret Society. After Darkseid is resurrected and kills most of the Society, Volcana and the surviving members work with the Justice League to stop him.
