History
Early Career
As the leader of the hive-world Korll, Zazzala lives only for the interstellar expansion of her species. She clashed frequently with the Justice League during their early adventures.[1]
The Cabal
Zazzala joined the Cabal and was present when Plastic Man infiltrated their base and forced Doctor Psycho to take control of Zazzala's mind and attack Amazo, who survived and knocked her out. She later recovered while Hugo Strange was making a deal with Plastic Man, she disagreed but Strange convinced her of its necessity.[2]

Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Alien Physiology
- Bee Control: Although Zazzala may be able to control more than just bees she has a strong affinity towards bees from both her planet and Earth; this means that she may have general control over any being with the same genetic structure as a normal honeybee no matter what the planet.
- Flight: Zazzala like the rest of her race can fly, but does not need wings like Earth's bees.
- Hypno Pollen: Zazzala's body produces a hypnotic pollen. She does this mentally by willing her body to produce the pollen. Once Zazzala releases the pollen her victims will do what ever she tells them to do.
- Superhuman Strength
- Superhuman Speed
Abilities
- Bee Fighter: Zazzala has her own unique fighting style that is common among her kind. It has a lot to do with flight combat mixed with kicks.

Notes
- Queen Bee was created by Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky, first appearing in Justice League of America #23. However, in the Prime Earth continuity, Queen Bee first appeared as part of the New 52 DC Universe in Plastic Man (Volume 5) #4 by Gail Simone.
- A character similar to Zazzala named H.I.V.E. Queen was introduced in The New 52 comics. These were explicitly stated to be distinct characters in DC Comics Encyclopedia: New Edition (2021). Later appearances conflate some elements of Zazzala into this character. Wonder Woman makes an off-hand allusion to an alien homeworld in Sensational Wonder Woman #11 (2021) and Flamebird calls her Zazzala in DC's Legion of Bloom #1 (2023).
