Madame Xanadu

Madame Xanadu is a alleged psychic in New Orleans.

History
She was visited by Kent Nelson, who requested that she make contact with his deceased wife, Inza. During the seance, wind blew around the room and the table appeared to levitate, and Madame Xanadu appeared to channel Inza, saying that she was cold and lonely. However, this show only led to Kent bursting into laughter. Kent exposed her as a fraud and non-believer, due to the fact that she used fans and tire jacks to make her performance look real. He was disappointed at not being able to speak with his wife, and also at the fact that Madame Xanadu is a pulling a scam, when in fact she has the right aura for real magic and psychic abilities.

When Madame Xanadu witnessed Abra Kadabra kidnap Kent Nelson and perform apparently real magic in order to make them disappear into thin air, she ran away screaming.

Comics and other media

 * In the comics, Madame Xanadu is radically different from her cartoon counterpart. Instead of being a con artist, she is in truth a powerful immortal character who is supernaturally sensitive and able to properly foresee the future using Tarot Cards.
