Munira Khairuddin, One of Superheroes From DC Comics That Is A Malaysian

Did you ever know that DC Comics had once published a particular superhero character from Malaysia? Indeed, shocking and amazing isn’t it! Her name is Munira Khairuddin. Munira ‘Muni’ Khairuddin first appeared in the Batgirl comic #32 in the month of August 2014 with the specific pseudonym of Obscura. Munira Khairuddin has martial arts skills for her to protect herself. Other than that, she is also a spy.

This Obscura character was created by Gail Simone and also Fernando Pasarin. Munira Khairuddin and Batgirl were good friends while studying together at Gotham University. Even so, Munira Khairuddin disappeared abruptly. Batgirl thinks Munira Khairuddin is dead. However, it was not until a few years later that Batgirl learned that Munira Khairuddin had been recruited into an elite anti-terrorist group.

Gail Simone once explained that Munira Khairuddin’s character is based on a Malaysian girl who is named Munira Mustaffa. Munira Mustaffa in real life is a genius in anti-terrorism and security. She completed her post-graduate degree in Countering Organised Crime and Terrorism at the Jill Dando Institute of Security and Crime Science, University College of London (UCL). Skills-wise, Munira Mustaffa is able to also speak Russian and French.

Unfortunately, Simone no longer does Batgirl, so it’s not clear what future Munira Khairuddin has in the DC Universe. But we certainly hope we’ll get to see Munira Khairuddin again soon.
