KSiteTV reports that an animated series based off the lesser-known DC character Vixen will be joining “The CW Seed” initiative this Fall. It will be connected to the worlds of The CW’s shows Arrow and The Flash, as they also feature on the promo art for Vixen.
Vixen first appeared in the 80’s, in Action Comics #521, real name Mari Jiwe McCabe. Her powers stem from a mystical totem, that grants her the powers of one animal at a time, not unlike Animal Man. The promo states this:
“Originally from Africa, Mari’s parents were killed by local greed, corruption, and wanton violence. But the orphaned Mari refuses to succumb to the terrors surrounding her.
Inheriting her family’s Tantu totem, Mari can access the powers of animals — anything from the super-strength of a gorilla to the speed of a cheetah. As Vixen, she fights valiantly to protect the world from threats like those that claimed her family.”
We’ll hear more about this show as it draws closer to the date, plus there’s some promo pictures below. Thoughts, anyone?
