cover

Zorak is the Leader of the Zorathians and sworn enemy of Space Ghost and his sidekicks Jan and Jayce.

Zorak was an alien warlord who led an army to conquer planets. He later joined the Council of Doom.

In Space Ghost Coast to Coast, he became the band leader for Space Ghost's talk show. He was the leader of The Original Way Outs. He often messed around with Space Ghost.

In the 2005 DC Comics miniseries, Zorak can essentially live forever using a hive mind society. If he is killed, his mind and essence would be transferred to another Zorathian who then transforms into an exact duplicate of Zorak's original form. The Zorathians follow their leader Lord Zorak and travel from planet to planet to kill the inhabitants and breed in their corpses. While most of the Zorathians are olive green and have two arms, Zorak is green with purple markings and has four arms (two hands and two pincers). In the DC Comics comic book, Zorak wears a suit of armor that he does not wear in any of his other appearances.

In the Dynamite Entertainment comic, Zorak is a cult leader who summons Lokar who is portrayed as a death god.
