Bio: Sorceress for Cadmus, Tala helped retrieve the sorcerer Felix
Faust’s soul from Tartarus, trapping him in a mirror for safe
keeping. With his teachings and her own knowledge, she was to
disable the Annihilator’s only weakness. Unfortunately, during
the spell, Faust tricked her into freeing him from his mirror
prison and putting her in there instead; Faust took control of
Annihilator’s body.
Grodd was able to free Tala from her imprisonment in the mirror
and in return gained a sorceress for his Legion. Grodd used her
knowledge to steal a mystic totem from Nanda Parbat and Grodd later used
this totem in Gorilla City to attempt to turn the entire world into
apes. Grodd's plan failed when the Justice League and Deadman showed up,
however and was forced to retreat.
Luthor later overthrew Grodd as leader of the Legion and Tala had no
problem with this leadership change, despite feeling loyal to Grodd for
freeing her from the mirror.
Tala later turned on Luthor after he shunned her in every way possible.
Freeing Grodd, Tala set out to cause a massive upheaval in the
leadership in the Legion. This was unsuccessful after Luthor pushed
Grodd out an airlock of the now space-born Legion headquarters. Luthor
used Tala's body to harness the power needed to resurrect Brainiac from
the debris of his exploded headquarters. What Luthor resurrected,
however, was something he had never intended to: Darkseid. |
