History is only made by the masses of the people (Part 28)...

Black Super Hero History Month

Vixen


DC Comics' Vixen first appeared in Action Comics #521 in July 1981.  Mari McCabe was born in Africa but later moved to America and became a fashion model.  She came into possession of the Tantu Totem and used it's power to become Vixen.  She had a solo career, fighting poachers and criminals not only in America but as far away as Africa and India.  When the Justice League Of America disbanded, and was then reorganized by Aquaman,   She remained with the team until it too later disbanded.

She went back to modeling, doing some super heroing on the side.  She worked with Animal Man, The Suicide Squad, Checkmate and The Justice League Task Force.  Eventually, at another time of reorganization, she rejoined the Justice League of America.

Vixen has the power, through the Tantu Totem, through concentration, to mimic the power of various animals: flight of birds, speed of cheetahs, strength of an elephant, breath underwater like a fish, agility of a monkey, night vision of a cat, etc.
