Powers/Abilities: Sue transforms into Tanya whenever any one of the group says or even writes the phrase Rings of Zorr. Tanya can fire lasers from her fingertips, can fly and is capable of going into outer space without a suit on, even flying interstellar distances in minutes, though the ability to survive in space is apparently down to a spell cast by Blue Wizard, rather than her own powers. She also demonstrates powers of "deep hypnosis" at one point. In Zenith she appeared to have superstrength and bulletproof skin too.

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 .
Finding herself able to fly and with fingertip lasers, she chose the codename
Tanya, and joined her sibling and friend in forming the Amazing Three.
The group battled Vogler on multiple occasions, only sometimes capturing him but always defeating his schemes.
Comments: Created by Trevor Metcalfe.
All
of the Amazing Three appeared as major
supporting cast in Zenith: Phase 3. Tanya was
a casualty of the war against the Lliogor, being decapitated by a particularly
vicious blow to the head. After the battle was won, Blue Wizard erected a
monument in honour of all the fallen heroes, including his sister.
