Who is Abra Kadabra?

A showman born from the Silver Age imagination of John Broome and Carmine Infantino, Abra Kadabra made his dazzling entrance in The Flash #128 in 1962 and has been haunting the Scarlet Speedster's rogues gallery ever since. Over more than six decades of DC history, this theatrical villain has shared the page with the likes of The Flash, Wally West, Green Lantern, and the Trickster — keeping genuinely electric company across Flash, The Flash, and Titans. There's something wonderfully enduring about a character conjured in the Silver Age who's still causing trouble in 2025, a testament to the lasting appeal of a well-crafted antagonist with real dramatic flair.
