Powers and Abilities

Zatanna is one of the most powerful practitioners of magic seen in Injustice. Speaking her spells as backwards 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 interrupted, her spell can 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.
