Zenith Phase Three Scorecard
2000A.D.'s Zenith series was split into 4 main segments, Phase One through Four. During the epic third Phase, Zenith and his cast joined an array of other heroes from across the multiverse in a fight against the deadly Lloigor, who were terrorising some of the alternate Earths in the multiverse in host bodies stolen from other superheroes. Zenith Phase Three is a delight for fans of British superheroes, as there are dozens of them dotted around throughout the story, both as themselves (when copyright problems didn't get in the way) and under pseudonyms (when they did). Some of these characters are readily identifiable, but other are not. What we need is a scorecard!

Also, here's a quick rundown on the realities visited or mentioned in the Zenith storyline:
Alternative 5 - described by Lux as the "home of Black Flag". Since one of Black Flag says the group hail from Alternative 88, this probably means the group re-settled in Alternative 5 for some unspecified reason.
Alternative 20 - home of Metamaid, pre-op transsexual superhero/heroine.
Alternative 23 - Axis Mundi, home of the Maximan who survived the nuclear bombing of Berlin during the Second World War
Alternative 42 - some of the alliance against the Lloigor are native to this reality (but it's not specified which ones)
Alternative 88 - home of the supergroup Black Flag (Acid Android Archie, 93 Mantra, D.J.Chill, Domino and Smiley Sun)
Alternative 230 - home of Zenith, Mandala, etc
Alternative 257 - home of the religious Christian superhero Hotspur, destroyed by the Lloigor
Alternative 300 - home of Vertex, the goodie two-shoes counterpart of Zenith.
Alternative 303 - no superhumans native to it (making it an ideal spot to hide from the Lloigor), but there are dinosaurs in modern day Australia. People fight them for sport using high-tech weapons in gladiatorial-style arena.
Alternative 331 - some of the alliance against the Lloigor are native to this reality (but it's not specified which ones)
Alternative 666 - a world which is full of counterparts to the characters of Fleetway's rivals, D.C. Thomson - it's a bit like Marvel Comics Earth-Squadron Supreme (which has counterparts of DC's greatest heroes), in that it is Fleetway's take on their rival's characters. Of course, when the reader sees it, it's been invaded by Lloigor, who have slaughtered the inhabitants.
