History[]

Early life[]

Initially unbeknownst to everyone, Abra Kadabra came from an unspecific era from the future. At some unknown point, he traveled to the past, sporting technology so advanced that it passed off as magic.[2]

Kadabra eventually clashed with Flash, who proved that the former used science from the future to simulate magic.[3] He joined forces with Klarion in the hopes of gaining real magical powers.[4]

  • This is Abra's third animated appearance; he had a cameo in the Justice League Unlimited episode, "Flash and Substance", and appeared in two episodes of Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Jeff Bennet also played Kadabra there, but according to Greg Weisman, his reprisal was not deliberate.[8]
