- For the DC's Legends of Tomorrow episode, see Zari.
- "Yeah, well, I'm no hero, and I'm not a member of any team. Besides, I've already have you all figured out. The old guy wants to be anywhere but on this ship. These two have some will-they-won't-they thing going on. Rory's been drunk since breakfast. Jax is wondering if I'm single. And your ship's still mad at me for doing a teeny hack on her subsystems. Now, what's this about one bathroom?"
- —Zari Tomaz to the Legends[src]
Zari Adrianna Tomaz[1], known as Z to her friends and Khaahar to her brother, is a hacker, rogue time traveler and a member of the Legends.
Biography
Early Life
Zari Tomaz grew up as a Muslim in 2042, an era which banned religion. She lived with her family, and together with her brother was part of a resistance against A.R.G.U.S.'s control of the United States, which had severe anti-meta-human laws.
Working with the Legends
One night, they raided their home, killing Zari's brother and taking her prisoner, transporting her in a truck. However, the truck was stopped by Kuasa, giving Zari time to escape before the former could kill her.
Zari made her way to a hideout, where she was found by the Legends. An A.R.G.U.S. drone found them, but Zari was able to hack it, allowing her to escape. She headed to a bar, where she was intercepted by Mick Rory, attempting to befriend her. They were interrupted by Kuasa, who was fought by Sara Lance. Rory quickly caused a diversion, allowing them to escape and return to the Legends' timeship, the Waverider. Zari agreed to help them capture Kuasa, only on the provision that they help her rescue her brother from an A.R.G.U.S. black site. They infiltrated the site and as all of the inmates escaped, triggered by Jax, Zari went to retrieve an amulet. She admitted to the Legends that she'd played them, but only as the amulet had been her brother's. She went outside, using the amulet to fly away. Zari made her way to her family's camp, followed by the Atom, but found it to be completely destroyed and them not there. They talked but were interrupted by Kuasa. Through teamwork, Ray and Zari were able to incapacitate Kuasa, allowing them to run away, but she stopped them in her tracks again. However, the Legends suddenly appeared, providing backup, forcing Kuasa to withdraw.
Joining the Legends
They returned Zari to her hideout, where Rory and Amaya convinced her to join their team, the latter explaining how her amulet was, in fact, a totem, while offering herself to teach her how to control her powers.[2]
On the Waverider, Ray tried to have a team building routine in honor of Zari joining the group, which she thought was pointless. She then watched Ray disappear in front of her which was a result of him dying in 1988. When the team prepared to travel back to save him, she was excited to actually time travel. They went back to 1988 and she suffered some side effects from the trip as she began speaking French as Ray reappeared. Zari was amazed at how different the world was in 1988 as opposed to 2042. They found young Ray Palmer and followed him to his home where they learned that Ray had a small Dominator in his bedroom. Zari was told all about the team's last encounter with the Dominators and they made a plan to sneak into Ray's room the following day to take the alien back.
The two found the Dominator named Gumball, but found that young Ray was still home and was heading back to the room. Zari hid under Ray's bed while Ray shrunk down. She then watched as young Ray took the Dominator to watch Singin' in the Rain. But, Ray's mother had come home as she had been called about Ray skipping school. She became nervous when Mrs. Palmer was close to discovering Gumball and asked for a distraction. When young Ray took Gumball and grown up Ray into his bag to run, she went after him but he accused her of only wanting Gumball and ran away from her. She tried to go after him but she lost him in the woods. She then found him in a small tent that he made where he roleplayed being Sir Galahad. She didn't want to play pretend with him but Ray told her that she had to think like a kid to get through to him and played along. Young Ray finally came out with Gumball but they were then ambushed by Smith and his agents.
Personality and Traits
Haunted by the loss of her brother and hardened from years of growing up in a dystopian future where she and other meta humans are hunted, Zari generally presents herself as a cynical and gruff survivor who prefers to keep other people at arm's length, also being reluctant to join the Legends due not feeling like any sort of team player. She tends to resort to sarcasm and/or blunt honesty as a means of communicating feelings, a quality she shares with Mick.
However, Zari's disposition is not entirely sour; besides her sense of humor, she is shown to have some talent in video games and enjoys them, and more noteworthy, could show empathy and compassion as the situation warranted, such as when she connected with Ray Palmer's child self and actually did so more successfully than Ray himself did. This indicates that, for all of her outer image of hardened survival instincts and practiced cynicism, there is a kinder and gentler side to her as well.
