Anansi Totem

The Anansi Totem is a mystical object that allows the user to tap in to the life force of animals, essentially allowing them to harness gives whoever uses it. It is currently owned by Mari McCabe. It was said to have been created by the trickster god Anansi for the warrior Tantu.

History
The Anansi Totem was a relic of the Zambesi village, said to have been given to them by the god Anansi. At the age of four, Kuasa was chosen as its bearer. However, a local warlord raided the village, forcing few occupants to flee. Kuasa's mother took her sister, Mari, along with the totem.

When she was 10, Mari was given the totem by foster mother, hoping that she could find answers to who she was with it. Many years later, Kuasa located Mari and the totem. She had some thugs jump Mari to steal the totem from her, but she accidentally tapped in to the totem's power, harnessing a gorilla's strength, a lion's ferocity and a kangaroo's agility and took out the thugs. Freaked out, she went to inquire about it to a university professor, Dr. Macalester, who informed her of this power. She returned home, demonstrating the totem's power to her foster father, Chuck. However, their resulting conversation ended midway when The Flash and The Arrow showed up.

She quickly escaped, using the totem to evade them. Eventually they caught her, but they simply talked about the nature of the necklace. Mari returned to Dr. Macalester to show him her newfound powers, but was interrupted by Kuasa barging in. The woman ordered Mari to take the necklace off, but she was unable to. She attempted to escape by using camouflage, but was knocked down. After she awoke, Kuasa told her of their familial relation, as well as their shared history with the necklace. Kuasa had her men hold Mari, allowing a spider (Anansi's alleged true form) to bite her, unburdening her of the connection with the totem. She pushed them away as soon as she could and ran for it. Eventually, she collapsed from exhaustion, allowing Kuasa to come along and take the necklace for herself.
