ZEERANGANS
Class: Extraterrestrials
Known Representatives: None
Aliases: None
Base of Operations: Zeeranga
First Appearance: Mystery in Space #53 (August, 1959)
Powers: Zeerangans had interplanetary spaceships, super-telescopes that let them look in on other planets, and the space-vox, a radio that let them broadcast to other planets.
History: (Mystery In Space #53) - Zeerangans used the space-vox to declare war on the Omerons so they wouldn't know who their enemy was. The Omerons seemingly faced an invasion by monstrous creatures, but Howard Melville, a visiting human, who was breathing in an oxygen spacesuit didn't see them. The Omerons realized the invasion was a mass hallucination caused by flowers that emitted hallucinogenic gas planted by the invaders. Melville helped the Omerons deduce who their enemies were from the nearby planets. In a space announcement the enemy described Melville, so the Omerons knew their enemies were the Zeerangans, whose planet was close enough to observe them by super-telescope. The Omeron spacefleet defeated the Zeerangans and accepted their surrender. On June, 1960, in honor of Melville's contribution to their victory they brought the Zeerangans to Earth to surrender to Melville's home planet.
