On a trip back to Africa, she came across her uncle and took back the Tantu Totem, using its power to become the costumed superhero Vixen. She used her newfound wealth to travel the world.
Mari ultimately moved to America, where she established an identity as Mari McCabe and worked as a model in New York City. Maksai wanted the Tantu Totem, which Jiwe had possessed. Reverend Jiwe himself was killed by his half-brother (Mari's uncle) General Maksai.
Sometime later, Mari's mother was killed by poachers and she was raised by her father Reverend Richard Jiwe, the village priest. Growing up in a small village in the fictional nation of Zambesi, M'Changa province, Mari Jiwe McCabe heard the legend of the "Tantu Totem" from her mother. The totem was later passed down to Tantu's descendants until it reached the McCabes. Tantu used the totem to become Africa's first legendary hero. In ancient Ghana, the warrior Tantu asked Anansi the Spider to create a totem that would give the wearer all of the powers of the animal kingdom, only if they would use the power to protect the innocent. Willow Wilson began a five-issue limited series, Vixen: Return of the Lion. Since her debut in Action Comics, she has primarily appeared in team books, most notably various incarnations of the Justice League and Suicide Squad. The story was subsequently printed in Cancelled Comic Cavalcade.
