Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Katana

Katana is a Japanese martial artist and superheroine in the DC Universe. Her real name is Tatsu Yamashiro and she experienced a horrible tragedy when her husband and children were killed by her husband's brother. Tatsu managed to escape the incident and, in doing so, got the deadly sword in the attack called "Soultaker". After training as a samurai and adopting the codename Katana, it became her motive to avenge the murder of her family and seek justice against all criminals, particularly those responsible for taking innocent lives.

The Soultaker sword is a powerful mystical blade and was forged in the 14th century AD. It has the magical property of its ability to absorb the souls and life force of anyone it kills, trapping them within the blade. The Soultaker is a key part to Katana's life as her dead husband's soul is also in the blade and can communicate with her as she exacts justice in the world.
2. Hawkgirl

Hawkgirl, from DC Universe, is a winged warrior who is part of an endless cycle of reincarnation alongside Hawkman. In the latest iteration her real name is Kendra Saunders. She was born into a mysterious cycle of reincarnation, carrying the memories and spirit of an ancient Thanagarian warrior.

Hawkgirl, herself, has superhuman strength and speed as well as flight which aid her in her fight against villains.

Her weapon of choice is the Nth Metal Mace which is made from the technology on the planet Thanagar. It can disrupt, repel, and even nullify magical energies and effects to fight powerful magical enemies. It can also absorb energy and blast it back as a formidable weapon. A handy feature for Hawkgirl is that it is also very lightweight, making it easy for her to use in flight.
3. Big Barda

She eventually followed her love (Mister Miracle) to Earth where they married and vowed to fight evil forces, especially those associated with her former planet.

Barda's primary weapon is the Mega-Rod, a virtually indestructible high-tech weapon that is an extension of her spirit and will. In its most basic form, it is a sceptre-like rod that can be used in hand-to-hand combat. However, it can project powerful concussive energy blasts that can smash through most objects.

Over time, she decided to break away from his "team" and became an anti-hero. Harley is an expert gymnast and highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat. Because of her background she is also skilled in psychological manipulation.

Althrough Harley uses a variety of clown-like gags (e.g. explosive pies), her main weapon is an oversized mallet.

A voodoo priest there performed a ritual that connected her with the elemental forces of the planet, giving her the ability to manipulate weather. After the ritual, her powers with which she was born with grew significantly. Later, she was recruited onto the X-Team to fight injustice.

Storm's primary weapon is her mastery over the elements. She can generate localized effects such as lightning bolts from her hands. She can do effects like manipulate air pressure in a person's ear all the way to controlling storms. She can also fly by summoning wind currents.
10. Nubia

Nubia is DC's first Black woman superhero. Nubia is an Amazon and Wonder Woman's literal twin sister, molded from dark clay by Queen Hippolyta just before Diana. After Nubia was kidnapped by Ares she was raised to be a warrior under his mind control on a floating island. Nubia eventually broke free from Ares' influence and dedicated herself to helping her fellow people on Themyscira. One of her chief roles is to guard Doom's Doorway, a portal to the underworld beneath Themyscira. This involves fighting monsters (such as the Hydra and Medusa) attempting to escape. Nubia possesses the standard Amazonian attributes of superhuman strength, speed, agility, and stamina.

Nubia's weapon is a staff-like spear called the Staff of Understanding. It was forged by a blacksmith and crafted using rare precious metals found only on the island of Themyscira. It contains a powerful stone gifted to her and blessed by three Olympian goddesses: Athena, Aphrodite, and Hestia. The staff's core function is to foster understanding and allow the user to see things from another's perspective.
