Biography
Anna Fortune
While the JSA All-Stars were struggling in a battle against the King of Tears, a powerful beast summoned by Johnny Sorrow, Anna Fortune instantly appeared in the scene after leaving her boyfriend Wildcat at home and took out a gauntlet and trapped the King of Tears in it. She soon revealed to the team that Dr. Fate sent her to help the team, saying that he once helped her 'out of a jam'. She then instantly began to calibrate a spell that would transport everyone to the Subtle Realms, which is where an All-Star teammate, Stargirl, was trapped. (JSA All-Stars v1 #5) Once she cast the spell, chaos ensued as they were brought to the Subtle Realms and when she admitted she got the spell wrong and accidentally released the King of Tears. Anna could not undo her mistake, but helped fight alongside the All-Stars against the King of Tears until Stargirl managed to kill the King of Tears by stabbing it in its heart. When the team returned to their base, Anna joined the team. (JSA All-Stars v1 #6)
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Anna Fortune was a short, slender, and exceptionally fashionable female humanoid of the human race who possessed a distinct, Victorian-era English physical phenotype. She had fair skin, highly expressive blue eyes, and a head of long, flowing dark brown hair styled with an elegant, period-accurate crown arrangement that fell neatly around her shoulders. Her face was youthful, carrying a witty, confident, and highly poised expression even while standing in close-quarters proximity to eldritch abominations. She wore a highly customized, stylized superhero uniform modeled directly after traditional nineteenth-century garments, consisting of a vibrant red-and-black tailored dress coat with gold buttons and structured lapels, worn over a white collared undershirt. Her lower limbs were enclosed in dark trousers and heavy-duty, buckled leather riding boots designed for traversal, and her hands were heavily protected beneath a pair of massive, brass mechanical gauntlets lined with glowing runic arrays, entirely lacking traditional superhero capes, external helmets, or modern military body armor plates.

Powers and abilities
Anna Fortune was born a member of the human race where she possessed a highly profound, chronologically displaced biological framework, explicitly claiming her actual physical lifespan spanned over 187 years despite her anatomy physically remaining that of a 26-year-old woman. She operated as an elite intermediate-level sorceress and future auxiliary recruit within the Justice Society network, demonstrating that her baseline mystical tracking, sensitivity, and willpower were advanced enough to directly manipulate cosmic entities. She possessed the extraordinary power of Simplified Spell Casting, allowing her mind to voluntarily manifest a diverse array of reality-warping enchantments—such as spatial teleportation, cellular healing arrays, and transmutative binding fields—directly into the physical plane. Anna Fortune possessed high-level proficiency with her specialized wrist gauntlets, which enabled her to channel her internal raw mana into highly focused, high-yield kinetic projectiles known as spellcasings, granting her the versatile skill to shatter environmental targets and achieve independent, high-speed aerial flight without requiring standard Earth-based firearms, mechanical armor wraps, or modern technology. (JSA All-Stars v1 #5)
Anna Fortune has displayed an intermediate skill with magic. She has knowledge of multiple spells, though she isn't always adept at casting them. Some of her more successful demonstrated abilities include flight and healing. Often, she will use the launcher mounted on her gauntlet to fire special cartridges she calls 'spellcasings'. These are can-sized, bullet-like projectiles with magical contents.
Notes
- Anna Fortune was created by Matthew Sturges and Freddie Williams II where she made her first appearance in JSA All-Stars v1 #5 (June, 2010).
- On Newsarama, writer Lilah Sturges commented on the character in an interview, "Yes. We'll definitely be seeing more of Anna Fortune. I won't say that she's officially a member of the team, but she'll be around, and we'll learn more about her. And her last name is no accident. If there's another character in the DCU named Fortune, but probably in a different way than you might expect."
