"Arrow" is bringing one of DC Comics’ most animated characters to life.

Megalyn Echikunwoke will appear on The CW drama as the live-action version of Mari McCabe, the protagonist of CW Seed’s cartoon web series Vixen that she also voices.

According to TVInsider, Mari — who has the power to mimic any animal — will make her "Arrow" debut in Episode 15, tentatively scheduled for Feb. 24.

Arrow is getting an injection of animal magnetism.

Megalyn E.K. is bringing her animated CW Seed alter ego Vixen to the small screen, and we’ve got your first look at the actress channeling her inner (live-action!) wolf.



Mari McCabe/Vixen, who can mimic the abilities of any animal and has experience with mystical elements, appears in Episode 15 to “give Oliver some help with magic,” executive producer Wendy Mericle tells TVLine.

“One of the things we’ve been exploring this season is, ‘How does Oliver deal with magic, specifically with Damien?,’ and she comes in for a very high-stakes, amazing episode.”
