Zachary Zatara

Zachary Zatara is a former member of the Teen Titans, current member of Teen Titans East, and the most popular teen aged magician in the world... which isn't saying a whole lot. He was involed in Crisis of Canon and remembers the pre-boot universe due to that.

History
He was raised by his emotionally distant parents in Gotham till he started touring at age 15. He had a girlfriend named Kate at age 16 and she was pregnant but due to laughing magician related fate stuff she died in a car crash.

After that he has been known to help some superheroes like Red Robin or Zatanna and he even got involved in the Coven of Three due to the demons three and also became a member of the New Night Force.

As a favor for Raven who asked as a favor for Robin he joined Teen Titan’s East citing Wally West’s then involvement with his friend Eddie’s death as reason he’d join. He actually got along with them fairly well and felt cared about.

He also ended up dating Thad which he didn’t really expect to have happen but he actually really liked Thad.

He was threatened into helping Grant with a plot to save Thad from dying due to a lack of speed force. He was forced to help capture Bart and then also when Young Justice showed up he was forced into helping fight them. Afterwards Thad left the team and he and Zach’s relationship was put under some pressure.

Thad did come back and he stayed with the team as it more and more became clear to not be a supervillain group but instead a chaotic helpful group.

During crisis of canon he was off with most of the rest of the magic users and he was on the same side as the rest of his family. This also was the first time he had met Nick Necro.

Once he got back to Teen Titan’s East he found out that they had rescued Eddie from hell while shit was funky and due to that he was okay. He was thrilled about this and very thankful to the team. He later noticed while ordering pizza with Duela that his middle name was randomly different and after a little investigation he found out that in this new universe Zee & John were his blood parents.

That thankfulness led to him doing something that seemed very strange, he left the team to go do his own thing. The reason why was he was still spying on them and no longer wanted to be doing that to them, he just failed to explain that well to them.

Recently he rejoined, found out Thad is Aro, and then also found out the reason behind why Kate died. He’s now plotting revenge against John once John isn’t so depressed

He is now no longer planning revenge and instead is in the middle of an identity crisis (lol)

After the the reboot Kate's death no longer has anything at all to do with the bloodline of the Laughing Magician.

Powers

 * Pyrokinesis: Zach can create and control magical fire.
 * Eldritch Blast

 * Scrying: Using a reflective surface he can spy on any person or item he knows well. It does take a lot out of him.

 * Synchronicity Wave Traveling: He has a very minor form of it from being John Constantine's son. Luck bends around him at times to keep him alive and occasionally put him in the right place at the right time. This power is responcbile for him surviving the car crash with Kate while she didn't.
