A hacker from 2042 who happens to wield one of the Zambesi totems, the Air Totem. Her entire family were killed by A.R.G.U.S., who had taken over the United States sometime in the future and imposed a totalitarian regime. As a result, Zari joins the Legends to prevent her family's tragic fate. The Air Totem originally belonged to her younger brother Behrad.\\\

After a year and a half with the Legends, they end up discovering a way to change her future for the better. However, she was erased from history and replaced by a different incarnation. While she lives on within the Air Totem, she can't co-exist with her other self long enough as the now-alive Behrad will die as a result of her timeline bleeding into the main one.\\\

-> see the Characters/SmallvilleOtherMajorVillains page for Isis, the Earth-167 character who shares her comic background

* ADayInTheLimelight: "Here I Go Again" is entirely dedicated to her and bonding with the rest of the Legends.
* ActionGirl: Another female Legend who's more than capable of kicking ass.
* AdaptationalModesty: The MythologyGag superhero costume she wears in ''Legends'' 3x04 is far more modest than her [[BareYourMidriff midriff baring]] outfit she had in the comics.
* AdaptationNameChange: The name "Zari" is an invention of the show. Every other incarnation outside of the Andrea Thomas incarnation used Adrianna as her given name.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: In the comics, her power-granting amulet is part of the same line as the Captain Marvel family; here, her powers stem from the same source as Vixen's.
* AgeGapRomance: As with Ray and Nora, she and Nate are far apart in age enough to be father and daughter if not for time travel.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Cynical and used to keeping people at arm's length as a result of growing up in a dystopian future version of America.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Is attracted to Nate and Jonah Hex, but also stated that Amaya was hot. When Charlie asks if she's straight, she doesn't give an answer.
* AncientArtifact: Her powers stem from the Air Totem, bestowing the user with the ability to manipulate air.
* TheAtoner: For not being able to save her brother.
* BadFuture: She comes from one where A.R.G.U.S. has taken over and turned America into a PoliceState.
* BackFromTheDead: In "The One Where We're Trapped On TV", by splitting Zari's chain of fate into two, the original Zari is brought back from nonexistence by Charlie and allowed to exist with the new Zari.
* BalefulPolymorph: She was transformed into a cat in multiple timelines (also a puppet in another) in "Legends of To-Meow-Meow".
* BigEater: [[BadFuture Likely due to how she grew up]] after joining the Legends if it's not a fight. Z is more often than not chowing down on something (usually junk food).
* BlowYouAway: She possesses the Air Totem, enabling her to manipulate air for flight and blasts of wind for offense.
* ButNowIMustGo: At the end of the season, she retreats back into the Air Totem when she discovers she can't exist without her timeline slowly killing Behrad.
* CivvieSpandex: Doesn't wear a costume, opting for a series of simple jackets instead. The first time she does wear an outfit that resembles the original Isis superhero costume from the comics and 1970s TV series is on Halloween in the 80's ... and she finds it both stupid and impractical to wear. In ''Crisis on Earth-X'', however, she gets a gold and black uniform that's similar to Amaya's.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: An EnforcedTrope in which RealLifeWritesThePlot. In the comics and original ''Secrets of Isis'' TV series, her moniker is "Isis" -- named after the Egyptian Goddess of Magic. Unfortunately, in 2017 most people associate the name with the terror group ISIS, therefore the producers of the series chose to not give her a superhero name (especially given this version of the character is Muslim-American).
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Has quite the rap sheet, which impresses Mick. However, since she lives in a PoliceState, we can assume that either most of those crimes are exaggerations or done fighting against ARGUS.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like Mick, she tends to resort to sarcasm and blunt honesty to communicate feelings.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Coming from a dystopia time period, she's naturally quite frosty, but eventually mellows out revealing an extremely adorable personality.
* DrivenToSuicide: In "Here I Go Again", she breaks down from watching the Legends die over and over again in a GroundhogDayLoop and tries to shoot herself. Fortunately, the gun isn't loaded and even if it was, there was no chance of her dying, since she was just in a simulation.
* ElementalPowers: The mystical Totems of Zambezi grants its user control over a different element of nature, with Zari's being the [[BlowYouAway Air Totem.]]
* TheEngineer: Shares this role on the Waverider with Jax due to her technical expertise and later inherits it entirely after his departure from the team.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Not to the same degree as [[TheForties Amaya,]] but a fair amount of 20th century pop culture icons like [[Music/BillyJoel Billy Joel]] and ''[[Film/GroundhogDay Groundhog Day]]'' are unfamiliar to her.
* {{Flanderization}}: She becomes associated with wearing red flannel shirts much more often after being replaced with Zari Tarazi.
* GamerChick: Likes to play video games in her downtime. She also once brought a copy of "Legend of Zelda" off the black market.
* GenreRefugee: InUniverse. When the fates trap the Legends in TV shows, she escapes from the Air Totem, and does not fit into the ''Friends''-esque TV world she emerges into.
* GroundhogDayLoop: Gets put into one in "Here We Go Again" thanks to Gideon as part of a SecretTestOfCharacter to make her bond with the Legends.
* HeadButtingHeroes: Really doesn't get along with Sara at first, due to chafing under her authority and Zari's insistence on changing history to help people instead of preserving the timeline. It becomes bad enough to eventually drive Zari off the team, but luckily, she gets over this after Gideon's endless time loop simulation shows her that she and the Legends need each other.
* HeroicSacrifice: In "Swan Thong", she learns that she and Behrad can't exist at the same time without harming the latter. As a result, the old Zari decides to return to the Air Totem, content with being an eternal prisoner if it means her brother will be able to stay alive.
* HollywoodHacking: The resident hacker of the team and previously used it to fight ARGUS.
* HiddenDepths: She relaxes by listening to heavy metal.
* InNameOnly: Rather than having the powers of an Egyptian goddess as is the case with the original 1970s character and later 2000s reboot, Zari Adrianna Tomaz wields one of the totems common to most Arrowverse magic and doesn't go by Isis. As a result, the character is nearly completely unrecognizable beyond the name.
* InSeriesNickname: She's commonly referred to as "Z" by pretty much everyone.
* KnightInSourArmor: Zari's a legitimately good person, but she's also very cynical and snarky, with little faith in or patience for sentiment.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: While stuck in the GroundHogDayLoop and under too much stress, Nate suggests she take a break and have some fun. A montage is then shown of Zari goofing off and enjoying herself with no consequences. She later goes back to Nate and tells him she already did the "fun montage".
* LeeroyJenkins: She was often chastised for being reckless and not following orders, at least until "Here I Go Again" where she had a HeelRealization thanks to Gideon.
* LivingMacGuffin: Her first episode is about the Legends trying to save her from Kuasa -- she joins the Waverider because she's safer there then in 2042.
* LoopholeAbuse: Her speciality. She always tries to find possible ways of changing history for the better without breaking time.
* TheMentor: Becomes the reluctant totem mentor to Mick when he is to be trained in using the Fire Totem.
* MyGreatestFailure: Her failure to prevent her brother's death, revealing that when A.R.G.U.S. agents came for her family, she ran away in fear.
* MythologyGag: At one point, she's reluctantly persuaded to wear an outfit resembling her costume in the comics, though she dislikes it and prefers civilian clothes.
* NotWearingTights: Only wears a superhero costume once for the ''Crisis on Earth-X'' crossover.
* OddFriendship: She has one with Ray, the perpetual optimist. Mainly because they both have similar interests and hints that Ray is not nearly as naive as he seems. She later develops another one with Jonah Hex in ''The Good, the Bad, and the Cuddly," despite Zari being initially uncomfortable around an ex-Confederate solider, but he eventually wins her over with his unflinching politeness and respect towards her. It's strongly implied that he has a crush on her and by the end of the episode, [[ShipTease possibly mutual.]]
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: She is pretty annoyed by her post-Heyworld self, who is ([[CharacterDevelopment or used to be]]) a shallow, uptight internet celebrity who prioritizes fame over family.
* LaResistance: Was a member of a group of rebels fighting the now fascist-minded A.R.G.U.S.; she joins the Legends after she discovers what remained of her family were slaughtered.
* RaceLift: The original version of the character, created for the 1970s series ''Series/TheSecretsOfIsis'' and later featured in a comic book spin-off, was Caucasian and of Anglo-Saxon ancestry with the surname Thomas and played by Colorado-born actress Joanna Cameron. The ''Legends'' version is Muslim, has the surname Tomaz, and is portrayed by Iranian-born actress Tala Ashe.
* RebelliousSpirit: Though all of the Legends qualify to varying degrees, Zari really stands out when she joins with her general disregard with the team's duty to protect the timeline and issues accepting Sara's authority. [[JustifiedTrope It makes sense, considering she's grown up under fascist, authoritarian regime that's outlawed all religion and imprisons metahumans.]]
* RetGone: Her fate at the end of Season 4. Due to the Legends altering the timeline, causing her BadFuture to be prevented, she never joined the Wave Rider crew and is somehow replaced by her brother. It's later revealed that the original Zari didn't actually disappear, but rather became trapped inside the Air Totem. Eventually undone in "The One Where We're Trapped On TV", when everyone remembers her.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Is less committed than the other Legends about preserving history and [[LoopHoleAbuse exploits loopholes in history]] [[TheMcCoy to help people.]] Notable examples include dropping Helen off in [[Franchise/WonderWoman Themyscira]] instead of returning her to Troy and encourages Jax to use such a loophole to warn 1992!Stein about his future death.
* SealedGoodInACan: Her ultimate fate following the Heyworld incident is this, as she's "trapped" inside the Air Totem that is now used by the revived Behrad and ultimately her alternate timeline counterpart, Zari Tarazi. While certain dire situations can cause her to reappear in the real world or communicate with the Legends, she needs to stay inside or her native timeline in which her brother died will gradually creep over into reality, thus slowly killing Behrad.
* SecondLove: For Nate, with Amaya being his first.
* ShipTease: She has one with ''Jonah Hex'' of all people, then with Nate, which quickly turns official.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Has shades of this dynamic with Gideon unsurprisingly, given that one is computer hacker and the other is a ''sentient'' computer. Later evolves into VitriolicBestBuds after Gideon subjects Zari to a GroundhogDayLoop simulation to show her [[ThePowerOfFriendship the importance of staying with the Legends]].
* StarCrossedLovers: Her relationship with Nate turns to this when it becomes clear that the only way to stop Neron is for them to alter history to such an extent that she never joined the Legends, ergo never meeting Nate.
* TakingUpTheMantle: Behrad was killed by A.R.G.U.S. shortly before the events of her debut, leaving Zari to take his Air Totem and time travel to the present day.
* TheBusCameBack: After her HeroicSacrifice in Season 4, it's eventually revealed that she still exists within the Air Totem. [[spoiler: In Season 6, Zari Tarazi discovers that the two can swap places inside the totem, allowing both to exist [[SharingABody (albeit still not simultaneously)]] and letting Zari Tomaz rejoin the Legends.]]
* TimeShiftedActor: Her young version appears during Season 4 and she finds the dragon egg.
* TimeTravelRomance: In ''Legends'' Season 4 she becomes romantically involved with Nate, who is from the mid 2010s and is old enough to be her father in her own time.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: Is explicitly Muslim and adheres to practices like not consuming pork or alcohol and observing Ramadan.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Jonah Hex.

Dr. Nate Heywood is a historian, specializing in deductive historical reconstruction. Due to his skills, he was able to deduce that an aberration-created reality, one in which the Nazis bombed New York City in 1942, due to the machinations of Damien Darhk and Eobard Thawne, was starting to cement in timeline, supplanting the previous reality. With the help of Oliver Queen, he was able to locate the submerged Waverider in 2016, Dr. Heywood traveled through time, using his skills as a historian to find the locations and time periods in which different members of the Legends team were stranded. For his support and later being given the ability to transform into steel, Nate was made a new member of the team.\\\

After two years on the team, Nate eventually left to join the Time Bureau as wanted to mature and move away from his old memories of Amaya. Eventually he develops a relationship with his former teammate Zari after the two fake being a couple for a mission, until circumstances caused her future to be permanently rewritten and replaced by her brother. Having rejoined the Legends for good after the Time Bureau was dissolved, Nate begins having visions of Zari, even though they technically never met in the new timeline. The Legends eventually reunite with Zari, but she has become a much different person, dashing Nate's hope to rekindle their relationship.

* AbusiveParents: He and his father do not have the best relationship. According to Nate, it stems from his old man's FreudianExcuse for growing up with a DisappearedDad. Downplayed in that his father is strict and demanding, but not outright abusive.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the comics he's a football star, while here he's a renowned historian with a doctorate.
* AdaptationalJobChange: In accordance with his AdaptationalIntelligence, the comics version of Nathan Heywood is a former college football star, while here he's a historian and holds a doctorate.
* AdaptationNameChange: From Nathan to Nathaniel. Also "Citizen Steel" to "Steel". However, see CompositeCharacter below.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Well he's actually a historian, but he gets a lot more involved in on the action than anyone else in his career field.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Nate is definitely attracted to Amaya and Zari, but he frequently makes comments about the attractiveness of other men, especially Ray. At [[spoiler:Hank's funeral]], they even give each other a kiss on the cheek without thinking. He then also seems to have a crush on Dion, which Lita even points out.
-->'''Lita''': Do you have a man crush?\\
'''Nate''': No. It's unrequited. Shh.
* AndStarring: In the series OBB starting Season Two of ''Legends of Tomorrow''.
* AscendedFanboy: A historian getting to travel through time.
* BadassBookworm: For a hemophiliac historian who claims that he couldn't do athletic activities when he was young, he is quite buff.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Becomes best friends with Ray, the other nerdy GeniusBruiser on the team.
* BrainyBrunette: He's a brilliant historian.
* {{Bromance}}:
** With Ray, who he is best friends with. The two are often seen hanging out, broing it up, and generally getting along like good mates.
** Also has one with Wally, having apparently formed a friendship [[NoodleIncident offscreen]] during the six months the Legends were forcibly retired by the Time Bureau.
** As of Season 5, he also has this with Behrad.
* BulletCatch: Accomplished this using his ''teeth'', while steeled on of course.
* ButtMonkey: In the first episode alone he is tackled by Oliver's security and and knocked out by Sara.
* CallingParentsByTheirName: He calls his father "Hank" because of their strained relationship.
* ChromeChampion: After being injected with a SuperSerum, Nate gains the ability to turn his skin into steel, which also grants him SuperStrength and cures his hemophilia. He starts calling himself "Steel", since his grandfather's hero name was "Commander Steel".
* CommutingOnABus: In Season 4, he leaves the Legends for good as one of the reasons he joined was because he was running away from his problems at home - but now that he and his dad have buried the hatchet he doesn't feel the need to stay anymore. However, he still shows up quite often as a Time Bureau agent, just not with the Legends. He returns to the Legends proper after his father is killed by Neron and then when the Time Bureau is shut down.
* CompositeCharacter: His backstory as the grandson of the first (Commander) Steel and him using the Steel superhero identity belongs to Hank Heywood III, but his civilian first name and powers belong to ''Citizen'' Steel.
* CunningLinguist: When Sara offers Nate one of the translating pills, Nate explains that he's fluent in English, German, French, Japanese, Italian, and Latin. He proves this in the next episode by speaking Edo-period Japanese without a translator.
* DaddyIssues: Nate and his father, Hank, never got along, although they make a lot of progress towards repairing their relationship in Season 4; sadly their fixed bond doesn't last before he dies to Neron.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: His romance with Amaya ends on a bittersweet note. She leaves the team to go back to her village and marries somebody else, but chooses to preserve the memories of their relationship.
* DishingOutDirt: Becomes the wielder of the Earth Totem in the Legends' final plan to stop Mallus.
* DitzyGenius: Almost as bad as Ray in this regard though in Nate's case, it's less of naivete and more of chronic DidNotThinkThisThrough.
* EmergencyTransformation: After receiving a fatal injury, Ray has to inject him with a SuperSerum with hopes that it will turn him into a metahuman with a HealingFactor. It worked, [[ChromeChampion even gaining a bonus power]].
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Constantly. The show even acknowledges his tendency to do so.
* GeniusBruiser: He's a skilled historian, often recognizing important historical events just as fast or before GIDEON, and thanks to the powers he gains after joining the Legends he's also able to throw down just as well as everyone else.
* HasAType: As he bitterly notes, he seems to have a thing for time-displaced women who eventually have to leave.
* HealingFactor: Any injury he suffers before he [[ChromeChampion "steels up"]] will automatically heal once he turns it off.
* HeartbrokenBadass:
** Suffers this in the beginning of Season Three after Amaya left him to return to her time period to preserve her family's timeline. Even after she rejoins the team, he's clearly still bitter about she dumped him. Naturally suffers this again when Amaya leaves the team at the end of the season.
** And then with Zari, when she [[spoiler: has to return inside the Air Totem after she just got her and all the memories of her back]].
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: He barely wears his helmet when he's fighting crime while wearing his costume. [[JustifiedTrope Then again,]] he doesn't really need one with his powerset.
* HeroicSacrifice: He has John put a {{Glamour}} spell on him, making him look like the man, and tricks Neron into killing him, which causes the demon to lose control of Ray's body. However, he is quickly brought back to life by ThePowerOfLove.
* HeterosexualLifePartners:
** With Ray, who was his best friend and was heartbroken when he announced that he and Nora were leaving.
** Also with Wally, with the two becoming bros after Nate's stay in Central City.
** After Behrad takes Zari's place in the timeline, Nate's unrequited romance with her was retconned into a bromance with her brother.
* HonoraryUncle: He quickly takes a liking to Mick's daughter Lita, and the feeling is mutual.
* HotLibrarian: A TallDarkAndHandsome historian who's always seen with books.
* HowDoIShotWeb: It takes a while for him to be able to metalize at will. This bites him when he picks a fight with the Shogun's mooks and his powers don't activate.
* HyperAwareness: Nate figures out that history is being changed just from minor differences in artifacts, and without knowing about time travel ahead of time.
* IChooseToStay: Joins the Time Bureau in Season 4, first to deal with getting over Amaya and then he chooses to stay for good since he no longer feels a need to hide from his problems by living on the Waverider.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Does not join the Legends until Season 2 but is one of the few characters since then to still be on the team after all this time.
* ImmuneToBullets: When steeled on, bullets just ricochet off him. Unless the bullets are made from dwarf star alloy.
* InformedAbility: Nate states he is fluent in English, German, French, Japanese, Italian, and Latin. Except unlike Oliver Queen, we never actually see Nate speak the foreign languages, since all the natives speak in "translated" English for the benefit of the viewers.
* InformedFlaw: He mentions that his hemophilia prevented him from doing athletic activities. Yet for some reason, he is quite buff and even managed to repeatedly dodge Oliver Queen's security team during his introduction.
* InHarmsWay:
** He objects to going with Mick on a time-traveling rescue mission for the other Legends, but Oliver sees right through him.
--->'''Oliver:''' Who are you kidding? [[JumpedAtTheCall You've been waiting your whole life for a chance like this.]]
** In a more literal version of this trope, he itches to be on the front-lines with the rest of the team despite the risks his hemophilia brings. He later reveals that it comes from the cloistered upbringing forced on him by his condition, spending half his childhood in hospitals and forbidden by his parents to even go outside.
* LanternJawOfJustice: He mentions that the Heywood men are known for their jawlines. That and the fact that he and his grandfather are superheroes.
* LegacyCharacter: His codename Steel is derived from his grandfather's codename, Commander ''Steel''.
* LogicalWeakness: Since metals are good heat conductors, steeling up won't protect him from hypothermia, as he learned the hard way when he fell into a cold river.
* MadeOfIron: Very literally. Bullets and blades barely tickle him when he's steeled on.
* MilitaryBrat: His father is a colonel (later [[spoiler:posthumously]] promoted to brigadier general) in the U.S. Army working in the Pentagon and serves as a military liaison for the Time Bureau. His grandfather was a legendary soldier during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
* MythologyGag: While thinking up a codename for himself, "Citizen Steel" is one of the names Nate contemplates, but ends up settling on "Steel".
* NerdsAreSexy: A TallDarkAndHandsome historian.
* NiceGuy: The nicest member of the team next to Ray and likely why they get along so well.
* NoodleIncident: Apparently became good friends with Wally West between the events of ''Aruba" and "Aruba-Con," the development of which happened entirely offscreen.
* OddNameOut: He is notably the only Heywood male who doesn't have an AlliterativeName.
* OppositesAttract: He and Amaya develop feelings for each other, despite being polar opposites in personality. Amaya is an expert wilderness survivor who loves the outdoors and is strict on being professional in her hero duty. Nate is by his own admission, an indoors guy, has no formal training, and is more in it for the adventure of a lifetime.
* PopCulturedBadass: Nate is the most versed in pop-culture out of all of the Legends, constantly referencing movies and TV shows.
* PrimaryColorChampion: His Steel costume [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead adorned with the colors of the American Flag]] predominantly features red and blue.
* SecondHourSuperpower: Nate gains his steel powers after being injected with Ray's serum at the end of Episode 2x02, first displaying them in 2x03.
* SecondLove: For Amaya, with Rex being her first.
* SleevesAreForWimps: His superhero costume is sleeveless. Justified in that, with his powers, he doesn't need to worry about his arms getting hurt.
* TheSmartGuy: Nate is a genius historian.
* StoneWall: Being ImmuneToBullets, Nate often stays on the front lines to shield his team.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He stands 6 feet tall.
* TimeTravelRomance: In his first season alone, he fell in love with women outside of his time, twice. First with Masako Yamashiro who is from the 17th Century, then with Amaya who is a contemporary of his grandfather during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. In Season 4 this becomes inverted, with Nate becoming romantically involved with Zari, who is from 2042 and still a child in his time. There was also a gag for an episode of Nate being attracted to Ray's mom when he meets her in a time period where she's around his age.
* TokenSuper: As of Season 4, he is the only known metahuman working as an agent in the Time Bureau.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In Season 3, he's very bitter about Amaya breaking up with him as in -- she left without saying goodbye. Even after they reconcile and she explains she only left to ensure Mari's existence, he's noticeably terse and goes out of his to flirt with women while Amaya's present just to make her jealous.
* UnskilledButStrong: Unlike most of the team, he has no combat training or prior vigilante experience, but the SuperStrength and durability from his steel powers more than makes up for it.
* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Mick makes fun of his costume, calling him "the Star-Spangled Idiot".
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: TruthInTelevision for a hemophiliac.
* YouKilledMyFather: He's livid when confronting a captive Neron for killing Hank, to the point he almost gets tricked into letting him out.
