20 Most Important Female Characters in DC
5- Zatanna 馃挜
Birrth Name: Zatanna Zatara
Alias:Zee, Mistress of Magic.
First Appearance: Hawkman (vol. 1) #4 (November 1964); DC Comics/Vertigo
Race: Homo magi
Zatanna Zatara is intelligent, confident and capable of manipulating reality with her vast magical abilities, and she balances her time as a skilled illusionist on stage and fighting the dark arts alongside other superheroes.
By reciting spells backwards, she can summon anything she imagines, using her ingenuity to find the most creative solutions to even the most difficult problems.
But if she doesn't want to end up like her father, whom she lost to the dark arts, she must quickly learn to master her craft before facing the world's most powerful mystics.
Due to her long history with DC Comics, she has been named as one of DC's greatest and most powerful female characters, one of the greatest and most important characters in the Justice League, and as a member of some of the best Justice League lineups.
The limits of his powers have never been clearly established. She is often depicted working alongside Earth's mightiest magic users including Circe, Madame Xanadu, John Constantine, Enchantress, and Doctor Fate while on another occasion Jason Blood sacrificed himself to free Zatanna from a trap when he sensed that he was better qualified to deal with the current threat than he was.
She has used her powers to command elemental forces, heal, transmute and transform objects, manipulate minds, and attack her opponents with blasts of energy.
Zatanna is also a conceptual bridge between various eras of comic book history and a linchpin of the DC Universe many times over. Plus, she's one of DC's most enduring female heroes, and she deserves to be mentioned in the same conversations as Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and Harley Quinn.
Beyond all this, Zatanna is also a tremendously funny character.
How many DC heroes can you think of who are as comfortable taking on crime alongside the Dark Knight in the Batcave as they are taking on John Constantine? How many enormously powerful superhero wizards use their mind-blowing talents to pull off a killer stage show?
How many DC do-gooders have managed to harness their prodigious powers by harnessing the power of a Speak & Spell? Only Zatanna combines such seemingly contradictory attributes in one person, and she does it with aplomb.
