Zealot (Zannah) is a fictional comic book superhero who has appeared in books published by Wildstorm Productions and DC Comics. Created by artist Jim Lee and writer Brandon Choi, she first appeared in WildC.A.T.s #1 (August 1992), as a member of that titular superhero team, during the period when Wildstorm and its properties were owned by Jim Lee. In that incarnation, Zealot was a millennia-old member of the alien race known as the Kherubim, and a Coda warrior, and was later associated with the organizations Wildcore and Team 7.
In 1999, Lee sold Wildstorm to DC Comics, and ownership of all Wildstorm characters, including Zealot, transferred to DC Comics. Her backstory and continuity remained the same, however, until DC's 2011 relaunch of their entire comics line, The New 52, which rebooted the continuity for most of its characters. Since then, Zealot was featured as a supporting character Deathstroke and later made appearances in Stormwatch.
The character was also a cast member in the 1994 - 95 animated TV series Wild C.A.T.s, in which she was voiced by Roscoe Handford.
