    Major Spoilers Poll of the Week: Wonder Twin Powers Activate!

    Stephen SchleicherBy Stephen SchleicherApril 5, 20167 Comments3 Mins Read

    Twins… they can cause so much trouble, and do so many great things. Some twins have the power to read each others minds, while others have a different connections… even powers. But what if your powers included the ability to turn into water? Or an animal?

    tothewiki

    Wonder_TwinsZan and Jayna are Exorian metas, genetic throwbacks to an ancient race of Exorian shape-shifters. Their parents died when they were still babies during a plague, and, because of their origin, no Exorians want to adopt them. They are adopted by the owner of a Space Circus who only wants to use them as sideshow freaks. Fortunately, the circus’ clown (or “laugh-maker”) is a kind man and raises them. He also gives them Gleek as a pet. Eventually, as teens, the pair escape the circus and hide on a planet where a space villain called Grax (an enemy of Superman) has established his headquarters. Spying on him, they learn that Grax is planning to destroy the Earth using hidden superbombs. The twins decide to travel to Earth and warn the Justice League, which is how they come to replace Wendy and Marvin (who were planning on retiring as heroes anyway) as their sidekicks. The heroes arrange for the kids to live with an old scientist named Professor Carter Nichols and they even take secret identities as Johan and Joanna Fleming. “Johan” and “Johanna” were supposedly transfer students from Esko, Sweden, disguised with blonde hair (Zan wore a wig, while Jayna uses her powers to transform into a human to change her hair color and ear shape), to allow them to attend Gotham City High School.

    The Wonder Twins powers are activated when they touch each other and speak the phrase, “Wonder Twin powers activate!” Physical contact is required. If the two are out of reach of each other, they are unable to activate their powers. As they are about to transform, they would each announce their intended form. “Shape of…”, “Form of…”

    Zan can transform into water at any state (solid, liquid, gas) and add to his mass by incorporating water in his immediate area. In the case of becoming solid ice, he can also become any form he chooses, from a 5,000 foot humanoid ice giant to a cage for a criminal to complex machinery (such as a jet engine, as he did in the episode “Eruption”). He changes into a gelatinous form at one point. On another occasion, he transformed into liquid nitrogen. In addition, he can transform himself into atmospheric disturbances (usually very localized) involving water, such as a blizzard, a monsoon, waterspout or a typhoon.[episode needed]

    Jayna can transform into any animal, whether real, mythological, indigenous to Earth or to some other planet, like Beast Boy. Since she must vocalize her choice of form to assume, she must know the common name. Naming the wrong animal will cause her to assume the wrong animal’s form. She has been known to take the form of anything from an ant to a whale.

    Which brings us to this week’s poll of the week!

    VOTE!

      I vote Jayna, because how many uses are there for a bucket of water!

      I went with Jayna because animal transformation just seems more fun for me.

      Seems like being able to change into any animal form has more utility than the bucket of water Zan always seemed to change into.

      I kinda don’t want to be either – I’m not overly fond of their power set. However, if I had to choose, it’d be Jayna. There’s a reason Zan is the butt of many jokes.

      I voted Jayna because animal transformations are just plain cool. Also, she can defeat demons because she’s an Exor Sister.
