Who is Zan?

Zan is one of the Wonder Twins, an alien youth from the planet Exxor who first appeared alongside his twin sister Jayna in the Super Friends comic. He possesses the power to transform into any form of water.

Debuting in the pages of Super Friends #7 in 1977, Zan is a Bronze Age DC creation brought to life by the legendary team of E. Nelson Fradon and E. Nelson Bridwell β€” a character born straight from the Saturday-morning spirit of an era when comics and pop culture fed each other in the most joyful ways. Sharing adventures alongside icons like Batman, Robin, Superman, and fellow co-star Jayna, Zan has kept genuinely distinguished company across a publishing history that stretches a remarkable 45 years, from 1977 all the way to 2022. With appearances spanning Super Friends, Detective Comics, and the sweeping retrospective DC Universe: Legacies, this is a character woven into the broader fabric of DC history rather than confined to a single corner of it. For collectors who love tracing the connective tissue of the DC universe across the decades, Zan is a warm, nostalgic thread well worth pulling.
