Zealot

Zealot is a Coda warrior — an ancient sisterhood of elite fighters from the planet Khera — who came to Earth millennia ago alongside the Kherubim in their endless war against the Daemonites. A master of hand-to-hand combat and edged weapons, she became a founding member of the WildC.A.T.s.

Few characters made a bigger splash in the early Image era than Zealot, who burst onto the scene in Jim Lee's landmark WildC.A.T.s: Covert Action Teams #1 in 1992 — one of the most talked-about debuts of the Copper/Modern Age. Over more than three decades of publication, she has remained a fixture of the WildStorm corner of the Image universe, sharing adventures with heavy hitters like Grifter, Spartan, Maul, and WarBlade across titles including WildC.A.T.s and the crossover spectacle Spawn / WildC.A.T.s. With four key-issue appearances to her name and 95 catalog entries spanning 1992 to 2025, Zealot is the rare character whose relevance has only deepened with time. If you're building out your Image collection or diving into the rich, kinetic world Jim Lee helped create, she's an essential figure to know.
