Zero Patrol
Membership: Zero, Orion Smith, Heather Curtis, Bruce Lewis, Altar Lane, Lanie Dark Purpose: Interstellar peacekeepers. Affiliations: Princess Zira, X'Adral, Zhor, Lia Enemies: Robots of Zero's homeworld, Dedalis, Professor Arlm, Damak, Sublime One Base of Operations: Mobile across the universe in Zero's space station and smaller spaceships First Appearance: Zero Patrol #1 (Continuity Comics, November 1984) Summary: Following the destruction of his own civilization by rogue robots that would soon move on to devastate Earth, the extraterrestrial Zero recruited five exceptional humans - well, really he recruited four exceptional humans but one was on a date and she got picked up too, but luckily she also proved to be exceptional - on a desperate mission to destroy the robots before they attacked Earth. After the humans succeeded Zero offered them the choice of returning home immediately, or of first exploring the universe with him; they all chose the latter.

Real
Name: Zero (apparently - see comments)
Identity/Class: Extra-terrestrial (species unspecified) technology user Occupation: Interstellar peacekeeper Group Membership: Zero Patrol (Zero, Orion Smith, Heather Curtis, Bruce Lewis, Altar Lane, Lanie Dark) Affiliations: Enemies: Known Relatives: None Aliases: None Base of Operations: Mobile across the universe in his space station First Appearance: Zero Patrol #1 (Continuity Comics, November 1984) Powers/Abilities: Height: Unrevealed - in several shots he
appears to be significantly taller than the humans, but in those
instances he's not standing among them, so he may be simply
closer to "front" of the panel than them. History:
(Zero Patrol#2) - (Zero Patrol#3) - (Zero Patrol#4) - (Zero Patrol#5) - Comments: Created by writer, pencils, inks. Though he tells the humans that he is
called Zero, it's unclear whether this is his actual name (seems
unlikely, given the odds against an alien species having names
that resemble words from a human language), the translation of
his real name into English, or just a designation chosen because
the humans would struggle with his given name. The middle option
seems the most likely, given that other aliens such as Princess
Zira appear to know have known him by this same name since
before he met the humans. Trying to find a decent full body shot this
guy was difficult. Most full or near full body shots have him
standing facing away from the reader, or are so small as to be
indistinct. Note that despite the blue tint on the headshot
above, Zero actual has pink skin, like a Caucasian human. |
Real Name: Orion Smith (see comments)

Given he works in show business it's
possible his unusual first name is a stage name. |
