she has awesome magical abilities but
does she use them for good or for evil
that’s too something fun welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we will explore
the comic book origins of DC Comics is
enchantress not to be confused with
Marvel’s Asgardian villainous of the
same name Oh dare you attack us in
countries wait wait wait you know these
people Thor I The Enchantress and her
executioner as with most comic book
characters they’re often reimagining and
different versions to a character’s past
we’ve chosen to primarily follow the
storyline which unfolded in 1966 s
strange adventures number 187 which was
expanded upon in 1987 s Suicide Squad
number 8 and 2011 s Justice League dark
number 1 the switcheroo which aru as The
Enchantress was called early in her
career is one of the most ambiguous
characters in the DC Universe she has at
her command tremendous magical abilities
enough to rival the likes of Zatanna or
dr. fate but towards what purpose does
she put these magical powers to promote
justice or to strengthen the wicked
while her moral ambiguity became central
to the character in later iterations it
was not present in her first appearance
in 1966 as her origin story opened
freelance artist June moon was traveling
with her boyfriend Alan Dell to a party
in a mysterious castle the sudden
appearance of a Griffin and a gargoyle
shocked them but it was easily explained
the party was a costume party June and
Alan decided to seek out costumes for
themselves but suddenly strange things
began to happen someone struck an
ancient gong causing the image of a
Minotaur on an old tapestry to glow in
an eerie manner June who had become
separated from Alan fell through a
secret panel on a wall and found herself
in a hidden room the room was filled
with spooky figures including a giant
redhead with arms seated on a throne
June assumed at first that the room was
decorated in this manner for the party
even after the strange redhead began
speaking to her take a hint lady the
head told June that an ancient evil had
been aroused that night and that it was
up to June to stop it she was instructed
to speak the words The Enchantress when
she did so her appearance changed and
she gained incredible magic powers
walking through a wall she returned to
find the guests at the party in a panic
and trying to escape
commotions threatened to make the roof
collapse so the enchantress used a spell
to enlarge a suit of armor in order to
hold up the ceiling before she could get
the guests to safety the hands of the
Minotaur emerged from the tapestry and
began attacking the partygoers The
Enchantress subdued the creature then
figured out that it was the striking of
the gong that brought forth the evil in
the castle by striking the gong a second
time The Enchantress banished the black
magic after the guests were safely
outside of the castle The Enchantress
returned to her June moon identity and
learned that the effects of her magic
would instantly vanish when she was no
longer the Enchantress although the
Enchantress was clearly on the side of
good in her debut over time she
eventually began behaving more like a
villain by 1987 June moon had joined the
Suicide Squad because the leaders of
that group promised that they could help
her control her evil self
whereas in her origin story June and The
Enchantress seemed to share the same
consciousness it was now clear that the
two were distinct and separate entities
visiting the mystical Madame Xanadu June
learned that her problem was the result
of using magic without knowing proper
shields and safeguards as a result every
time The Enchantress used magic she
became more and more twisted and
inclined towards evil Madame Xanadu
devised a necklace that could be used to
keep the Enchantress under control while
a permanent solution to the problem
could be found unfortunately it never
was when the Enchantress was revamped as
part of DC’s new 52 makeover in 2011 the
idea of June and the enchantress as
separate entities was confirmed in the
first Justice League dark storyline
Madame Xanadu had succeeded in
separating June and E enchantress into
two beings that could exist on their own
however this caused both personalities
to become unstable and the two had to be
rejoined The Enchantress has had an
interesting career in the comics and has
emerged as much more of a villain than a
hero in recent years but June moon her
host body continues to be on the side of
good so who knows how the Enchantress
will be portrayed in the future
Amandla that some of them have abilities
oh yeah I have seen things maybe
Superman was some kind of beacon for
them to creep back from the shadows are
you a fan of the mystical enchantress
