His elite upbringing made him a noble and studious individual. An odd fact? He needs to fuel his engines by drinking orange juice.

Robert McDowell is a sarcastic superhero that goes by the name Zenith. He appeared regularly in the sci-fi comic 2000 AD. He first appeared in 1987 and began to fade from the scene in 1992. But he still has plenty of fans and his creator – Grant Morrison – has become a popular writer for both DC and Marvel!

Given his active years, Zenith’s look is very distinctly late-80s and early-90s. He wears yellow pants and black mid-calf boots. The exact style varies from year to year but the colors remain the same. He also wears a black t-shirt with a yellow lightning bolt Z painted on it. His jacket – the final piece of his costume – varies from issue to issue. Sometimes it is a blue jacket with padded shoulders and black stripes. Other times it’s a blue and white Letterman’s jacket. And occasionally he wears a black bike cop jacket from the ’50s with studs in the shoulders. With all this change, though, two things stay the same: His styled black hair and the black mask around his eyes.

Dopey is one of the seven dwarves in the Disney animated classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. He’s doesn’t speak, but he always smiles. His childish antics earn him nothing more than a bop on the head, as all the dwarves know he really is dopey! He climbs onto Sneezy’s shoulders while wearing a long cloak to be tall enough to dance with Snow White, and together they dance to the Silly Song. Apply mascara to achieve his long lashes, and apply pink blush to your nose. Then sew or glue two yellow buttons down the front of the sweater.
