''Homo magi'' is a fictional sub-race of magic-using humans in the DC Universe. The ''Homo magi'' first appeared in ''Justice League of America'' #164 (March 1979), and were created by Gerry Conway and Dick Dillin. ==Publication history== The ''Homo magi'' first appeared as "The Hidden Ones" in ''Justice League of America'' #164 (March 1979).〔''Justice League of America'' (vol. 1) #164 (March 1979)〕 They are referred to as ''Homo magus'' in issue #165, and as ''Homo magi'' in #166. In the storyline, Justice League member Zatanna is searching for her mother Sindella along with her father Giovanni Zatara. The ''Homo magi'' were also featured in the pages of ''Secret Origins'' vol. 2 #27 (June 1988) written by Jean-Marc Lofficier (credited as Ehrich Weiss), Randy Lofficier, and Roy Thomas. According to the Lofficiers, their story in ''Secret Origins'' that re-told the origins of the ''Homo magi'' was revised heavily prior to publication; this is their reason for using a pseudonym. In the original plot, Nommo, a sorcerer from the Empire of ''Kor'' in Ancient Africa, (from H. Rider Haggard's "She") created the ''Flame of Life'' from the life forces gathered after the sinking of Atlantis. Nommo later fought Wotan (changed to Felix Faust by DC), unwittingly causing the destruction of Kor when he absorbed the full power of the Flame. Changing his name to Dr. Mist, Nommo embarked on a breeding plan to foster the creation of a race of sorcerers known as ''Homo magi''. As part of his centuries - spanning scheme, Dr. Mist created the various ''Stones of Power'' used by Arak, Doctor Occult (not a ''Homo magi''), Sargon, Zatara, etc. and the Global Guardians after World War II. Zatanna is the final product of Dr. Mist's plan for a perfect mate. But Wotan (Felix Faust) returns to steal his power and take revenge. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Homo magi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
