Background

In 1987, Kobra (Jeffrey Burr) deployed his Strike Force Kobra against Batman and the Outsiders.

Like most of his teammates, Zebra-Man was patterned after a forgotten, early Silver Age foe of the Batman. He resembled the original Zebra-Man, though with more animal-like features.

It is possible that the first Zebra-Man’s charging machine was used to empower his successor. But the second Zebra-Man has inhuman features, which do not match how the machine functions.

Perhaps Zebra-Man II is a minor metahuman. Odd-looking and with negligible powers, but able to be “activated” to a greater level using the original Zebra-Man’s technology. He has the power to attract or repel objects by gesturing in their direction. This seems psionic rather than, say, magnetic. He called them “lines of alternative force”.

After the clash with the Outsiders, Zebra-Man II was only briefly glimpsed in cameo roles. He was spotted during the Infinite Crisis (2006), where he fought alongside his old colleagues. In 2013, he was shown chatting in a super-villain bar with White Rabbit (Jaina Hudson). More recently, he was part of a menagerie of villains run by the Cheetah but he was frozen by the heroic Killer Frost (Caitlin Snow).
