Behind the scenes[]

  • Vixen indicates that Tantu was the first bearer of the Anansi totem. However, as shown on DC's Legends of Tomorrow, it seems that an unnamed woman was the totem's first bearer.[2]
  • In the DC comics Tantu is indeed the first user of Anansi-created Tantu Totem, who is almost never seen, but is frequently referenced. It should be noted though that, unlike Anansi, Tantu seems like an original DC comics creation, with the name probably taken from a Hindi word "Tantu", which means "cord" or "fibre".
