[3] Tomaz tries hacking the Waverider's AI Gideon's system to find a way to prevent her home from being destroyed in the future, but fails.
[4] To kill the demon Mallus, Tomaz, Sara, Mick, Amaya, Nate Heywood and Wally West use their totems to create an enlarged Beebo, and succeed.
[5] In season four, Tomaz continues operating with the Legends, assisting them in capturing magical creatures called "fugitives", which have been released throughout time.
[13] The dragon makes young Tomaz popular, inspiring the Legends to open Hank's proposed park to botch Neron's plans of painting all magical creatures as monsters.
In season six, she learns that she can switch places with her counterpart within the air totem allowing her to rejoin the Legends on a part-time basis.
[26] Though Constantine is killed by Bishop,[27] he makes a deal with a demon to return to Earth, where he gives Tarazi a key and decides to walk his path alone, away from her.
[28] In season seven, after being stranded in 1925 with the rest of the Legends, Tarazi helps them find Gwyn Davies, the founder of time travel and return home.
After a brief retirement and a truce with the evil Gideon, she helps Gwyn save the life of his lover Alun Thomas with the Legends, altering a fixed point in time.
She lives a double life and doesn't realize that she has secret, latent powers derived from an ancient, mystical source.
"[33] Guggenheim explained that part of the motivation for adding Zari to the series was the "political climate" in the United States after the 2016 elections.
[37] Her actual superhero costume, introduced during the "Crisis on Earth-X" crossover event, has a yellow and gold color scheme.
"[39] The season four episode "Séance and Sensibility" explores Zari's romantic side, with Ashe explaining, "Given her tumultuous past and that she was always essentially fighting for the life of her and her family, love was on the back-burner.
Like "Here I Go Again", it was also written as a Zari-centric episode, with Klemmer saying this was done because "she's such a tough nut to crack [...] She's not like [a] Jane Austen heroine, but she is like kind of defined by just how closely she guards her feelings.
"[40] The fifth season of Legends of Tomorrow introduces a different version of Zari,[41] a social media influencer whose last name is Tarazi.
[16] Klemmer compared her to the Kardashian family because of how she runs her "giant media empire and personal brand", while her "brother's been running around secretly saving the world [...] all Zari 1.0 wanted was for her brother not to die and her parents not to die and her future to not be this terrible, intolerant place, and she succeeded at all those things, but despite all of the things she fixed, their relationship isn't as great as it is between many siblings.
"[42] Ashe later said, "I had spent some time developing Zari 1.0 and really felt she had come a long way and had opened her heart at the end of the previous season, and then to lose her I think was hard for the fans [...] Even though I was excited, as an actor, by the challenge of playing such a different take on the character, I do feel like I resisted it for a little while [...] I feel like it took me a minute to find and accept and bond and submit to this new reality, and to the new Zari.
He added that "Nothing about her personality or background makes her a particularly compelling addition to the team" and Ashe did not exhibit "the screen presence necessary to stand out alongside the colorful cast of Legends.
Club's Oliver Sava reacted more positively, saying, "Tala Ashe is a charismatic actress that sells the emotional moments of this episode's script, and she has strong chemistry with the rest of the group.
