History
Superfriends
Both Zan and his twin sister Jayna are form the planet Exxor and they have a monkey named Gleek.
Their first appearance was in the Superfriends TV show. They also appeared in the Superfriends comic (where they were much more competent than portrayed on the television version).
For their powers to activate they have to touch knuckles and they have to say “Wonder Twin Powers Activate”. Zan can transform into any state of water: liquid, ice, steam, mist; or an ice structure: for example an ice cage or an ice sled. Jayna can transform into any animal, even extinct, mythical, or alien.
Extreme Justice
An updated version appeared as an alien slaves in Extreme Justice (a JLA spin-off) and after Zan and Jayna fought with the team they later became members of that version of the Justice League. Later they appeared as members of Young Justice wearing new costumes that closely resembled normal clothes for a teenager (with their initials on them) instead of their purple and black slave suits with gold power harnesses.
Powers
When Zan makes physical contact with his sister he can turn into water in any state (ice or vapor as well as water) and can even become a ice monster or a living water creature. He can partially shift his body to turn his fingers into ice claws. He shares a telepathic link with Jayna
