Zenith is one of the ongoing comic storylines in the Paragon Comics universe. It follows the story of three students, each of whom unexpectedly acquire superhuman abilities, and decide to team up to create the superhero Zenith.
Synopsis[]
In Morford, a small fictional town within London, three male students attend Greenwood secondary school. For years they've spent their lives somewhat apart, not becoming more than acquaintances. The three boys are Aaron, Brendan and Caleb, Aaron being the oldest and Caleb the youngest. In the span of several months, the three teenagers gained supernatural abilities in different ways. This lead them to discovering each other's powers, which brought the trio closer together. The town of Morford wasn't the most pleasant, it was frequently threatened by crime and chaos at the hands of thugs and villains, with no noticeable hero to protect the city. Superheroes were mostly unheard of in Morford, and it's been years since any big hero showed up in Greater London as well. After their powers made the three closer friends, they decided to use their powers for the side of good, each wanting to become a superhero. However, none of them had all the necessary traits a good hero requires, so they decided to come up with a new mantle, which they would all hold. Together, they became the superhero Zenith, the Paragon of Morford.
