Hi Gail. Is it true that Munira/Obscura is based on a real Malay person?

Yes and no, she is based on two real Malay women, who helped with research and vetted stuff I had written for her background. They were HUGELY helpful and I really hoped to develop her more, I’m not aware of any really cool Malay characters playing a significant role at DC right now (there may be some and I am not aware). But sadly, my run on the book ended before Obscura got a real chance to shine.

But all is not lost, a similar thing did happen with Tremor, who is Bengali and asexual, when Secret Six ended, and she wound up in the Movement to get a bit more development. Obscura could easily reappear. I hope she does!
