[edit]Tala, the Queen of Evil, is an evil mystical entity and the mistress of the Dark Circle.[1] Her agenda often consists of tricking mortals into doing evil deeds, or unleashing the apocalypse onto the modern world. She frequently confronts the Phantom Stranger, usually along with Doctor Thirteen, by using her powers to enslave mortals.
In post-Crisis continuity, Tala is a demon and mistress of Hell. She is known for either trying to doom mortals' souls to ruin or aiming to unleash apocalyptic evils upon the world.
In other media
[edit]- Tala appears in Justice League Unlimited, voiced by Juliet Landau.[2] This version is a member of Project Cadmus in the second season and Gorilla Grodd's Secret Society in the third, serving as a magic specialist in both groups. After Lex Luthor takes control of the Society and imprisons Grodd, Tala swears allegiance to the former and attempts to form a relationship with him until he grows obsessed with resurrecting Brainiac and regaining his power. Tala releases Grodd to incite a mutiny, but Luthor kills him and forces Tala to power a machine to revive Brainiac. While she dies in the process, she resurrects Darkseid instead as a final act of revenge.[3]
