Fire Totem

The Fire Totem is a mystical object that allows the user to harness the power of fire. It was once owned by Benatu Eshu, before being donated to the Detroit Museum. It is one of five other mystical Zambesi totems presented to the great tribes. It is currently owned by the Legends.

History
After the people of Zambesi faced numerous attacks from their neighbours and nature, they prayed for protection. Their prayers were answered as the five great tribes were each presented a mystical totem harnessing a power of each elemental forces. A tribe was presented the Fire Totem, the totem with the power of fire.

After being lost to the sands of time, the Fire Totem was discovered in 2015 by Macalester during his exhibition to find the lost totems of Zambesi. The totem was placed on display in the Detroit Museum of Natural History, where it was then stolen by Benatu Eshu, who threatened to use its power to burn down Detroit if Mari McCabe did not surrender her Anansi Totem to him. Eventually, Mari was able to defeate Eshu, at the lose of her sister Kuasa whom possessed the Water Totem, and smash the Fire Totem into pieces, rendering it harmless.

After its shards were returned to the museum, the Fire Totem was subsequently stolen by Damien Darhk in 2018, whom was collecting totems for Mallus. A resurected Kuasa stated that while in pieces, the Fire Totem should still be feared, and that totems could never be destroyed completely, concluding that it would take a “brilliant mind” to fix it. Wally West was able to recover the Fire Totem from Damien Darhk while attempting to fix the totem in East Germany during the 1960’s. It is currently in the possession of the Legends.
