AMAYA JIWE GRANDDAUGHTER FULL

Hourman, also known as Rex Tyler, is of course the mysterious man we met at the end of season one. That’s quite a few new characters too keep track of all at once, so let’s do a roll call. Mid-Nite, Hourman, Vixen, Stargirl and Obsidian. This version of the Justice Society is made up of Commander Steel, Dr. And now they’re here! They’re a real thing! A live action JSA! How crazy is that?īefore we take a closer look at the team line up, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: What on earth is the deal with the JSA and are they just a weird new name for the Justice League of America? What’s going on there? There’s a pretty decent chance that this is your first encounter with the JSA in any form, and that’s completely okay! Don’t panic! This new DC Comics 101 column (written by yours truly) has you covered if you’ve found yourself scratching your head about one of the worlds most confusingly named super hero teams. I’ve been on the edge of my seat for them since Rex introduced himself at the end of season 1.

However, Vixen's full name in the current DC continuity is Mari Jiwe McCabe, so this new character is an homage to the comics character.I’ll be totally honest with you guys: The introduction of the Justice Society of America was probably my most anticipated moment across all of the #DCTV shows. On a side note: the character of Amaya Jiwe was created for the Arrowverse she doesn't appear in the DC comics.

It seems more likely that Amaya had more than one daughter, and Mari's mother inherited sometime in the late 60s and then passed on to her daughter in the late 80s. If we assume that all girls are 'chosen' at the same age, then Mari's mother probably did not inherit directly from Amaya, since there's a huge gap in years and it seems unlikely that Amaya would go another 20+ years before having her very first child. That other person was probably Mari/Kuasa's mother. Since Kuasa looks to be more than 4 years older than Mari, she inherited the totem before Mari was born, and from the previous guardian. KUASA: Our mother left, with two things the most precious. A gift to be passed from generation to generation. In exchange for our worship, he gave us a totem to channel his power. He's known as 'The Trickster,' able to take any shape he wishes to combat his enemies. KUASA: Our people asked the god Anansi to protect them. We know from Vixen that her older sister was the previous guardian of the Totem, who tells her of it's origins: Note that the Totem was not found during Mari's lifetime. Like her granddaughter, Mari McCabe, Amaya’s powers are derived from the mysterious Tantu Totem, which allows her to magically access the abilities of animals. According to the official character description from CW and WB:Īmaya Jiwe – better known as Vixen – is the newest superhero to board the Waverider and join the ranks of the Legends of Tomorrow. In-universe, the totem is a family heirloom, passed from mother to daughter. Out of universe, the actress who played Mari McCabe was unavailable for filming Legends, so they had to cast a different actress. According to an article on, the current Vixen is the granddaughter of the Legends Vixen.
