History:
A criminal on his homeworld of Zorr, the villainous Vogler was sentenced
to exile on an uninhabited world, but the ship transporting him was knocked
off course towards Earth. Monitoring his journey from the other side of the
Galaxy, Zorrian scientists observed three young Earthlings, twins Sue and
Craig Travers and their friend Sam Pacey, close to where Vogler had
crashlanded. Judging them ill-equipped to fight Vogler, the scientists decided
to give them extra powers. Within moments the power transfer was complete,
and seconds later the children found themselves encircled by rings of light,
while an image of the chief scientist informed them to "just call on the
Rings of Zorr whenever you need super powers to fight for good against evil."
When Sue queried "Rings of Zorr?" the trio were immediately transformed,
with Sam becoming an "Oakman" who could fly. He joined his two friends in
forming the Amazing Three, and the group battled Vogler on multiple occasions,
only sometimes capturing him but always defeating his schemes.
Comments: Created by Trevor Metcalfe.

at the end of the war between the Lliogor and the heroes of many Earths.
