Enchantress, played by popular Victoria’s Secret Angel Cara Delevingne, was a normal teenage girl till a demon in the secret passage she discovered told her that she would become a mystical hero. Whenever she mutters “enchantress”, she turns into a powerful sorceress with magical abilities. Enchantress’ magical abilities includes healing and teleportation. However, she struggles to control the enchantress from growing and steadily tipping her over to the dark side.

Enchantress’ art of healing can be performed by mere mortals as well, through a massage. Massages are good for both your body and your soul! And who said teleportation is impossibru for humans? Plunge into a different world as you swim alongside the creatures of the deep; get up close and personal with nature underwater and explore marine life like you never did.

Harley Quinn, originally a psychiatrist for the Joker, fell head over heels for him and ended up being his devoted accomplice and girlfriend. Exceptionally strong and agile, Harley Quinn is immune to certain types of toxins thanks to her BFF, Poison Ivy.

Can’t get enough of the supervillian’s nimble moves? A live Muay Thai show is your quick fix to the powerful moves of Harley Quinn.

El Diablo

El Diablo is a gangster processing pyrokinesis (the ability to influence fire with power of his mind). Preferring to stay out of brawls, he is different from the rest of the squad who are eager to kill.

Learn El Diablo’s ways of manipulating fire at his will in a cooking class with French Chef Marthe. If the fundamental lesson is too basic, take part in an intense heat cook off BBQ in the middle of the desert. If you have pyrophobia (the fear of fire) but relish in the heat, consider going for a 2 Day Taitung Chihpen hot springs tour or have a hella good time at Dragon Hill spa in Korea.

Deadshot

Aided by his cybernetic eye which enhances his accuracy, Deadshot is the world’s most notorious assassin with a near-to-perfect track record. Once remunerated, this marksman will carry out his mission no matter the circumstances. You can say that he has a death wish, but Deadshot prefers calling it dying in a spectacular fashion.

Do you dream of having a deadly aim too? KKday has the solution for you! Pick the weapon of your choice and you’re ready for your training: air gun, pistol or AK-47.

Rick Flag

In order to keep this team of villains on missions in check, you need a discipline soldier — meet Rick Flag. A former special forces operative with a strategic mind, Rick Flag is highly skilled and well trained, frequently taking part high-stakes missions.

Are you up for some risky missions like Rick Flag? Go crazy with the wide array of theme parks available in Gold Coast (pssst, we specifically picked out three for you!). If your guts permit, experience 60 seconds of free-falling during your Las Vegas skydive or go for a special ops gun experience!

Captain Boomerang

As his name suggests, Captain Boomerang is skilful with his weapon of choice — boomerangs. He boasts a variety of high-tech boomerangs which he mastered throwing while growing up in Australia. He originally used his talent as a performer but turned to using his boomerangs to commit crimes after he was repeatedly ridiculed by his audience.

Tracing Captain Boomerang back to his roots, you may discover a hidden talent of your own as well. Enjoy an outback BBQ lunch and dinner experience in Boomerang’s home country, a day at Australia’s biggest water park or learn to surf on Bondi beach.

Killer Croc

Famous for being born with a form of atavism that causes him to have skin like a reptile, Killer Croc has superhuman strength, endurance, speed and sense. His skin also acts as a form of armour for his regenerative powers. By the way, just a warning — like its reptiles cousins residing in Gatorland (the best place to see crocodiles), Killer Croc eats humans as well.

For the curious yet cautious, experience wildlife from a distance at Langkawi’s mangrove eco safari, or even visit Langkawi’s crocodile farm, home to more than 2000 crocodiles and alligators. Adventurers can take a trip to Australia’s second largest sea aquarium to interact with more than 500 spices of sea creatures.

Katana

Hailing from Japan, Katana is not one to be trifled with. She’s incredibly skilled in hand-to-hand combat and relentless with her sword — a weapon that captures the spirit of its victims, allowing Katana to communicate with them after taking their lives.

Practice makes perfect and you can be a seasoned swordsman when you learn from the true masters from the land of the rising sun. KKday recommends katana techniques for beginners and samurai / ninja special experience for the sneaky spies. Families travelling with kids, we haven’t forgotten about you! Your kids can join in as you catch a ninja entertainment show during dinner or get a samurai transformation.

Slipknot

It’s all about the ropes. Slipknot was an employee of a chemical company, where he developed a formula for sturdy ropes that are as strong as steel, which he swiftly exploited during his career as an assassin.

Learn the knot-tying groundwork to Slipknot as you heaad for a rock climbing experience, a survival trekking and challenge course, a trip to the chocolate hills adventure park or even a 5 day camping tour to Uluru! Sailor’s knot, figure eight knot, running knot? No problem! You’ll be a rope master just like Slipknot after the abundance of knots-related activities.
