Volcana (DC Comics) - Justice League and Justice League Unlimited

Justice League and Justice League Unlimited

Volcana made appearances in the episodes "Only a Dream" and "Hereafter" of Justice League, voiced again by Peri Gilpin. In the episode Only a Dream Volcana is incarcerated at a Metropolis jail and takes advantage of a prison riot to escape with fellow villain Firefly. Exactly why she left the island is unknown. She shows a willingness to kill using her powers in this episode, which brings the character to a more sinister level than before.

It was established in the "Fearful Symmetry" episode of Justice League Unlimited that the government project that created her was a government program that was a precursor or early version of Project Cadmus. It would not be strictly the Cadmus we see in Unlimited, as Amanda Waller claims that it was formed in the wake of the Justice Lords event; however, early versions of Cadmus must exist, as some form of Cadmus created the creature Doomsday that fought said Justice Lords (and it has also been established that Project Cadmus began following Darkseid's brainwashing of Superman at the end of Superman: The Animated Series).

She appears briefly also in a cameo in the episode "To another shore", seen onscreen by Mr. Terrific, while she battles the Red Tornado.

She has also appeared as a member of Gorilla Grodd's Secret Society and was seen battling the invading forces of Darkseid in the series finale. In this episode she is shown to fly under her own power, which is probably how she left her island to rejoin society. Volcana witnesses Darkseid's return and was saved by Sinestro and Star Sapphire. She is one of the few survivors alive at the end of the battle and was last seen taking advantage of the "five minute head start" the Justice League gives her after fighting with Darkseid ceased.
