The Wonder Twins (Zan and Jayna) are a fictional extraterrestrial twin brother and sister superhero duo and trio. Created by Norman Maurer, Bill Hanna, and Joe Barbera, the characters first appeared in 1977 in the seventh episode of Hanna-Barbera's American animated television series The All-New Super Friends Hour. The pair can activate their shapeshifter superpowers by touching their fists and saying the phrase "Wonder Twin powers, activate!" Jayna can transform into any animal, and Zan can become water in any state. The siblings are accompanied by a pet monkey, Gleek, who assists in their crime-fighting activities.
They subsequently appeared in comics based on the animated series and were later introduced into the main DC Comics Universe. They have since appeared in other media, including the animated series Teen Titans Go! and the live-action TV series Smallville.
