Comic book characters often find themselves crossing mediums, sometimes as variations on the original. Such was the case when the Wonder Twins (Zan and Jayna) from the Super Friends entered the DCAU (the DC animated universe). Something interesting would happen with their homages Downpour and Shifter, they too would find themselves being adapted…this time into the DC Comics universe. Are the Wonder Twins a concept that work better as modified villains? Find out here on Casually Comics!

Love this channel and the way you breeze through all topics with such lighthearted abandon. Kind of like how we used to read comics as kids. I always thought the Ultimen were programmed, like the clones in Star Wars, to turn on the League with the right stimulus, like when the little punk says, 'Yes…power…', since taking out the League was Cadmus' real plan all along. (Heh, heh, heh. Order 66, kiddies!)
You is real purdy.
I was shocked when they didn't come back. It was a big let down
I agree they were cool not so….. Cute and useless.i wish they would stay bad with their team minus apache chief
They remind me of the reccombatants created I think by cabnus to fing the Titans and die
6:38 then back hand. Yes. I loved this version of him.
There are way to make them work. Have them meet their dna donner who gave them motivation to spend their dying years saving as many people as possible so when they finally kick the bucket, their name, brand, and legacy will live on in the heart of the people and other hero.
Zan sucks,he can only turn into water(could be used awesomely).
Could you do some thing on the other original characters from super friends or more to the point why they needed to make those original characters from the super friends you know samurai ,Apache chief, El Dorado ,black Vulcan. I mean is it anything more than they were trying to add some diversity.
Ah…well…there you go then, sorry.
I fell in love with downpour and shifter when I saw them in JLU.
as a twin, the choice to make them only talk in unison is cringe. do twins say the same things . every once in a while youll have "jinks" moment because you grew up with that person and have so many life experiences but you got to make them their own people at the very least. there is so much things you can incorporate. for instance did you know alot of twins have their own languages they made up together? its called cryptophasia, boom now you got a good real life reason most people cant understand the twins. cool fact: me and my twins language wasn't even vocal. it was sort of a hand language using only one hand.
I would like to see a combination of all these ideas: the design of the twins like this: 8:20, their ''civil'' names could be Zan and Jayna with their superhero names Downpour and Shifter, the personality of their JLU counterparts and their backstory the one where they were escaped slaves of an alien overlord who fled to Earth and eventually join the Justice League, seems the best of all worlds, lol.
Btw no Gleek, that monkey is both unnecessary and ridiculous…
Anyone else think Shifter kinda hot?…
I am reading that Wonder twins comic from a few years ago and it is actually pretty great 🙂
El Dorado got robbed in JLU.
Personally I think I would have preferred their attempt on the Justice league if it was more of a “order 66” kinda like power girl’s usage.
Imagine a comic where the heroes these characters were clones of fought against them, and the Wonder Twins took on Downpoor and Shifter.
I think if I were to reintroduce them into dc comics here's how I would do it.
They would still be vandal savages children and keep their design, but this time they would be able to copy the powerset of superhero's, but only 1 at a time.
They meet the wonder twins initially thinking of them as silly, but then the wonder twins easily defeat them, so they decide to copy their powers.
Then they start becoming obsessed with 1-uping the wonder twins to prove their better, along with wanting to do something big to impress their dad and not be just another one of his children.
they eventually find cadmus, who give them a superpower enhancing drug that improves their powers but causes cell deterioration, which they happily take so that they can finally prove their better than the wonder twins by improving on their powers, but they don't realize that cadmus has secretly stolen their dna.
They eventually go on a rampage throughout the city, making their way to the hall of justice to defeat the JL to leave a mark on the world, but the wonder twins arrive and try to talk them down, but the twins have started to go a bit insane due to the cell deterioration and drug, causing massive destruction as they decimate the wonder twins.
However, the wonder twins evolve their powers, with zan now having hydrokinesis like downpour, and janna being able to transform into alien species, and they defeat the twins, but in a last ditch effort the twins use their powers in conjunction to create a giant explosion, injuring zan and janna, but killing the twins.
And with cadmus now having their dna, they could possibly show up again, maybe even admiring the wonder twins due to their identical powersets, only to learn of their dna sources original fate.
Honestly Downpour and Shifter seem like a good way to reform the Wonder Twins.
They look way cooler, more serious and their powers work better!
It's such a joke that Zan would just become water or ice and that's it :' )
also their new color makes Shifter's power look cooler because it's all one color so you know it's her.
Yeah, this version of the Wonder Twins is pretty nice, they should work more with this
I HATE EVIL!
I love Downpour and Shifter. I don't even know why. I never read comic books, I wasn't into super hero stuff and didn't know much about it. But one day I saw these two. I don't know why, but I was in love with them immediatly. I even started to watch the show and took more and more steps into this universe. This steps are little, but if I had never fall in love with these two, I would have never find out about all this great Worlds, Storys and characters.
No El Dorado in the Ultimen?
