Homo Magi are a subspecies of humanity that have the ability to manipulate magic to varied degrees.
History[]
Enchantress and Incubus[]
In 4358 B.C., the Enchantress and the her brother Incubus arrived on Earth from their own dimension. Due to their great magical power, they were worshipped by ancient Pre-Columbian civilizations as gods. However, their subjects eventually turned on them and sealed their spirits in the Tres Osos Caves in the lands that would eventually become Peru.[1]
Council of Wizards[]
In 2600 B.C, The Council of Wizards, a group of ancient wizard siblings who defended the Earth, chose the young Kahndaqi Hurut due to his courageous heart. However, despite his many victories, his family were eventually found by Ahk-Ton. Hurut gave his powers to his dying father Teth-Adam, just before being murdered by Ahk-Ton's soldiers.[2] After Adam unleashed the Seven Deadly Sins[3] and attacked the Palace of Kahndaq, the Council of Wizards entombed him deep within the Earth.[2]
As consequence, the only surviving wizard, Shazam, vowed to only chose a worthy champion pure of heart to carry his magic. After milennia of searching, by 1974, Shazam had grown weak from aging and chose a young Thaddeus Sivana as a potential successor but after Sivana was easily tempted for power by the Sins, Shazam rejected him.[3]

Characteristics[]
Very little is known about this supernatural human subspecies, however Amanda Waller once described Enchantress as a sorceress from another dimension, indicating that the source of the Homo Magi's powers may be in other, unearthly dimensions.[1] Homo Magi differ greatly from each other in appearance - while some appear perfectly human, some have a distinct inhuman appearance. Their exact powers/traits are similarly varied. Their greatest ability is their affinity for using magic, which they can harness naturally and can channel to do whatever they want, although it may need practice and training to perform some spells.
- Magic: Homo Magi possess the natural ability to channel magic.
- Superhuman Durability: Homo Magi are much more durable than ordinary humans, being tough enough to endure gunfire, magical attacks, and attacks from metahumans.
- Longevity: Homo Magi are capable for living for extended periods of time, even thousands of years.
