A supernatural talisman called the Tantu Totem grants her the ability to mimic the “powers” of animals, such as the strength of an elephant, or the speed of a cheetah. She was a member of the Justice League during the “Detroit League” era. Later, she joined the Suicide Squad and teamed up with the similarly-powered hero Animal Man.
