Super Friends versionAccording to the
Super Friends comic book, Zan and Jayna are Exorian
metas, genetic throwbacks to an ancient race of Exorian shapeshifters. Their parents died when they were still babies (during a
plague), and, because of their origin, no Exorians wanted to adopt them. They ended up adopted by the owner of a Space
Circus, who only wanted to use them as
sideshowfreaks. Fortunately, the circus's clown (or "laugh-maker") was a kind
man and raised them. He also gave them Gleek as a pet. Eventually, as
teens, the pair escaped the circus and hid on a planet where a space
villain called Grax (an enemy of
Superman)
had set his headquarters. Spying on him, they learned that Grax was
planning to destroy the Earth using hidden superbombs. The twins
decided to travel to Earth and warn the
Justice League;
that was how they came to replace Wendy and Marvin (who were planning
on retiring as heroes anyway) as their sidekicks. The heroes also
arranged for the kids to live with an old scientist called
Professor Carter Nichols,
and they even took secret identities as John and Joanna Fleming.
"Johan" and "Johanna" were supposedly transfer students from Esko,
Sweden,
disguised with blonde hair (Zan wore a wig, while Jayna used her powers
to transform into a human to change her hair color and ear shape), to
allow them to attend
Gotham City High School.
Extreme Justice versionThe new, revamped Wonder Twins. Art by

In the 1990s they were introduced into the main
DC Universe in the series
Extreme Justice. The series
retconnedtheir origin so that they are slaves of an alien villain, later rescued
by the Justice League and were much more powerful than their previous
cartoon incarnations. In
Extreme Justice #9 (Oct. 1995), unable to speak
English, they accidentally attack some civilians and the Justice League. They join
Captain Atom's team in issue #16.
[2] They had far greater powers than their cartoon counterparts. During their fight with the JLA, Zan became an ice
golem, a water monster, and a demonic-looking
whirlpool; while Jayna became a
griffin, a
werewolf, and a sea serpent. Although rarely seen today, this version of the Wonder Twins is still part of the current
DC Universe. Later they appeared in
Young Justice #49–51, wearing uniforms which resembled t-shirts and jeans, to help avenge the murder of
Empress's parents. Apparently, the Wonder Twins enjoy the taste of CDs, as they ate several of
Wonder Girl's favorite discs.
Justice League UnlimitedTwo characters called
Downpour and
Shifter appear in the
Justice League Unlimited episode "Ultimatum". They are members of the
Ultimen, a group of superheroes created by the
government. The group is a
pastiche of the heroes that were created for
Super Friends, with Downpour and Shifter specifically a pastiche of the Wonder Twins. Downpour and his twin sister, Shifter, voiced by
Grey DeLisle, have albino white skin and pointy ears. The characters later appear in the episode
Panic in the Sky.
Like their adaptions into the mainstream DC Comics before, these two
had much greater control and use over their powers than their original
cartoon versions.
Other versionsIn
Kingdom Come#2, Zan and Jayna have cameos as a waiter and waitress at a bar that
caters to a superhuman clientele. On the animated TV series
Justice League, in episode 9 of season one, "Injustice For All Part II", a statue of the Wonder Twins is destroyed during the final battle by
Hawkgirl and
the Shade. The Wonder Twins themselves never appeared in that episode. Zan and Jayna have been reportedly set to appear in the
Smallville season nine episode, Idol. Zan will be played by
David Gallagher and Jayna by
Allison Scagliotti.
