Vixen (film)

Vixen is an imagined film based on the superhero of the same name. It is set in the DC Cinematic Universe.

Plot

 * Flashback to thousands of years ago: the mythical Anansi the Spider creates a totem to Ghanian warrior Tantu to protect his tribe and the innocent. The totem gives the wearer the power of the animal kingdom. It is passed down generations. During WW2, Amaya used it. The totem has not been used in years and it is a secret that she holds onto it. She is killed by a local warlord named Aku Kwesi, but her daughters Mari and Kuasa and the totem are saved by Rev. Jiwe.
 * Years later, Rev. Jiwe is killed by his half-brother Maksai after the latter learns that he has the totem. Maksai takes Kuasa. Mari escapes. Mari is eventually saved by a peacekeeper named Chuck McCabe and moves to Metropolis to become a model.
 * Meanwhile, Buddy Baker is co-operating with STAR Labs workers Cisco Ramon and Sarah Charles (who last appeared in Cyborg Unplugged) to find out why he has powers. They find out that he was exposed to alien technology from the Darkseid invasion that came into contact with the totem in Ghana. Cisco and Sarah enlist the services of Hawkman (who last appeared in The Justice League III) to help the three go there. They also find Mari McCabe, who they find out has connections to the totem.
 * Mari, Cisco, Buddy, Sarah and Hawkman find Maksai using the powers of the totem in a corrupt fashion.
 * The five of them defeat Maksai and Mari takes the powers of the totem, but then it is revealed that her long lost sister Kuasa has powers from another totem, and is working for Maksai.
 * Kuasa does a surprise attack and knocks out Cisco, Buddy, and Hawkman. Kuasa and Mari then fight.
 * Cisco learns that he has powers and helps Mari take down Kuasa. Her totem is taken away by STAR Labs.
 * Hawkman misses Hawkgirl and wants to go back to Hawkworld.
 * In the mid credits scene, Cisco decides to call himself "Vibe" and tells Vixen and Animal Man that they should join the Justice League, in which they both roll their eyes.
