JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK ROLL CALL!

1. MADAME XANADU: Looks to be the “Oracle” of the group. She has foreseen something evil on the horizon and is gathering the right people to handle it. People that exist on the fringes of the DCU. She is witness to the events transpiring and she is our narrator for this story. (It also seems she is addicted to some kind of drug. In her words, “it’s the only time I get any peace from the present or the future.”

2. SHADE THE CHANGING MAN: Wears a garment called an M-Vest, which seems to have a life of its own when we meet Shade for the first time. With the power to create a sort of “fake-reality” it seems, Shade has made himself a female companion to spend the lonely nights with, but as the M-Vest calls him to meet with with Madame Xanadu the power to keep the girl “real” diminishes and she dissolves away. Looks like Shade is going to be the leader of JLD.

3. ZATANNA: When we first meet this powerful magician she is hanging out with Batman at the JL headquarters, keeping an eye on a situation that Superman, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg went to handle. But the magic attack deployed by the villian The Enchantress proves to be too much for the trio to handle – it seems Superman is pretty vulnerable to magic – as too is Batman when Zatanna binds his feet to go handle business. She could be the loose cannon of the team.

4. JOHN CONSTANTINE: In the middle of conning someone, John is called away via Magical Vortex courtesy Madame Xanadu? Not sure at this point. But What I am sure of is that John has history with Zatanna. I’m also sure the JC is going to be the mouth piece of the JLD

5. DEADMAN: Good old Boston Brand is haunting the very confused and mysterious woman we met at the beginning of the comic. turns out she is looking for him. Deadman can possess anyone and can move freely between here and the hereafter. D-man should the go-between for the League when matters call for “spirits” to be involved.
