The Only Time This Character EVER Appeared in DC Comics! | Zeta Month

Ойын-сауық

Despite Batman Beyond getting tons of comic book coverage through various miniseries and guest appearances, his spin-off "The Zeta Project" NEVER got the comic book treatment, and in fact has only ever made one single teeny tiny cameo alongside Plastic Man and...well, you'll just have to watch and find out.
ZETA MONTH continues all of November!

    You know, for some reason the main duo of this show really made an impact on me. I liked to come up with stories as a kid and I named one of my characters after Ro and Zeta influenced a lot of my male characters. Even though I really didn't watch much of the show, or maybe because I was too young. I think I saw the last episode and didn't realize that it was the finale until now.

    There's a perfect concept for a Season Three episode: you start with the Terrific Trio being televised and we cut to Ro either watching this or following the group, leaving us wanting to know what happened. (Cutting to "24 hours earlier" is an optional cliche)

    Honestly Old Plastic Man and Zeta as part of the Terrific Trio after the fall of the original team would be awesome, although I'd probably have kept one older member around just to add a layer of redemption for them (I thought Freon was really cool, and it keeps the team from being *too* OP y'know). At least if Zeta ever got a revival in the form of a Trio spinoff; we got Zeta doing double duty as the Reed/Thing type cause Zeta could also easily fill both of those roles character-wise, Plas on the other hand has Reed powers with a Torch personality, and then Freon is still pretty much the Invisible Woman. I'd totally watch that show.

    Zeta Project was a fun little show but it needed more tie ins than just Batman. I think having old Superman would have been very cool in the show. Man of Steel and Man ... of Steel.

    I feel like making a show off of a character never seen in comics before was too ambitious. Although I’d understand the yearn for make something original after adapting other people’s characters so many times.

    An interesting legacy to a failed superteam, but the inclusion of the Earth-Mover does ruin its canonical relevance... mayhaps they should have made an older Tamara (from "Mind Games") the third member.
