Strange Blood
Magic users in the DC Universe are not all Homo magi.
- Some are Half-Demons or infused with demonic energy like Merlin's brother of Etrigan the demon, John Constantine, Witchfire, Kid Devil, Blue Devil, Felix Faust, Sebastian Faust, White Magician, and Raven.
- Or Half-Fae like Timothy Hunter, Morgaine le Fey, and Doctor Occult.
- Some are even Half-Endless, such as Rose Walker
- Some are humans in possession of powerful occult artifacts such as the helmets of Doctor Fate, and the B'Wana Beast, even Vixen's Tantu totem, Ibis the Invincible's Ibis-stick or Sargon's Ruby of Life, and Bloodwynd's blood gem.
- And others have been permanently "changed" by outside agents such as dimensional magics, elder gods or wizards as in the case of Captain Marvel, the Enchantress, and Extraño.
- Some have been bound to specific mystical locations from which their power stems, like Baron Winter (Night Force) who is bound to Wintergate Manor, and Barter (Hawk and Dove) who is bound to his shop.
- Some are Elemental in nature like the Swamp Thing, Naiad, the Hat and Solomon Grundy.

Famous quotes containing the words strange and/or blood:
“Hast thou found any likeness for thy vision?
O gardener of strange flowers, what bud, what bloom,
Hast thou found sown, what gather’d in the gloom?”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
“What the horrors of war are, no one can imagine. They are not wounds and blood and fever, spotted and low, or dysentery, chronic and acute, cold and heat and famine. They are intoxication, drunken brutality, demoralisation and disorder on the part of the inferior ... jealousies, meanness, indifference, selfish brutality on the part of the superior.”
—Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)
