About Zatanna

The daughter of renowned stage magician and sorcerer John Zatara, Zatanna Zatara started her adult life as a performing illusionist, before discovering her true powers. She later developed a tentative relationship with mage Nick Necro. When John Constantine travelled to New York City to study to study under the former, Nick’s interest in books of magic grew into an unhealthy obsession. As a result, he wound up alienating both Zatanna and Constantine, who fell in love soon after. Betrayed and hurt, Nick attempted to have them killed by the Cult of the Flame, only for his soul to be sent to hell, courtesy of Zatanna and Constantine. Eventually, Constantine broke Zatanna’s heart, as he was wont to do to other women. Their relationship was further strained when his schemes intended to save the world, resulted in her father, John, burning to death. She would later go on to be a member of Justice League Dark.

Biography

Daughter of John Zatara, Zatanna is a member of the mystic tribe of sorcerers called the Hidden Ones. Now a member of Justice League Dark, Zatanna protects the Earth from various occult threats.

Injustice 2

In Doctor Fate's ending, Zatanna, along with John Constantine, provides Fate with a shelter in the House of Mystery, hiding him from the Lord of Order, who are hunting for their former agent after he disobeyed them by destroying Brainiac.

Powers and Abilities

Zatanna is one of the most powerful practitioners of magic seen in Injustice. Speaking her spells as backward words, Zatanna can cast illusions, manipulate elements, and even manipulate reality on a small scale allowing for teleportation or instant creation of several magical themed items, ranging from razor-sharp throwing hoop discs, playing cards, and even her wand and Sargon's hat. Zatanna is not limited to using magic only in a fight and possesses some hand-to-hand combat training, typically preferring kicks.

Zatanna can use her magic to temporarily take control of her opponent, forcing their body to obey her whims, but if she is attacked or her focused is interrupted, her spell can be broken. This applies to all of Zatanna's spells, for if her concentration is broken, the magic is dispelled. Zatanna can also only cast a single spell at a time due to the nature of her casting requiring her to say her spells.

Injustice Gods Among Us - Zatanna Ending

The defeat of Superman was a relief to Zatanna. During the Regime she and Doctor Fate had taken advantage of Superman's vulnerability to magic and turned the Tower of Fate into a sanctuary for Superman's enemies. She had saved many lives, but years of subterfuge weighed heavily upon her. After the Regime's downfall, Zatanna was instrumental in restraining meta-humans during their trials, but when a jury recommended the death penalty for the more immutable defendants, Zatanna intervened. She took the prisoners to the Tower of Fate. There they would remain-incarcerated, but alive.

Appearance

Zatanna is wearing a magician coat that is black on the outside and red on the inside. Underneath, she has on a white button-up shirt. Zatanna wears fishnets on her legs and also has high heel boots on. Zatanna's hair is black, and she puts on her classic black hat upon activating her Character Trait.
