History[]
Zeitgeist was an alien mercenary, a member of the Parahuman group known as the Special Executive who had the ability to pass through solid matter and was invisible to technological scans. Acerbic and cynical, he frequently clashed with Wardog over what the Executive's priorities should be, an attitude in part validated when his colleagues Oxo and Legion were killed while assisting Captain Britain (Brian Braddock) against The Fury on Wardog's instructions.

Since the Special Executive first appeared in a back-up story in Doctor Who Magazine working for the Time Lords, it has been theorised that they were from Gallifrey. However, there is no concrete evidence of this.
Trivia[]
When writer Alan Moore left Marvel UK, he denied them permission to reuse the original Special Executive characters he'd created in Doctor Who Monthly, including Zeitgeist. The character did make a one panel cameo appearance in Excalibur Vol 1, but could not be mentioned by name.
