Charles Zenith is the host of the Universe's favorite reality game show called The Most Delicious Game.
Personality
Zenith is the epitome of a game show host, with a highly charismatic personality and knowing how to rouse a crowd. It was later revealed that he is rather self-serving, using his show as a means to generate drama for himself. To this end, he appears to have little regard for the contestants who get involved in his show and becomes agitated if they don't create as much on-screen conflict as he'd like them to.
History
Prior to his appearance, Charles Zenith was a well-known celebrity on the extranet, hosting a reality show called The Most Delicious Game, primarily aimed at creating enough on-screen drama to nourish Zenith, as his race feeds off on drama. Ben Tennyson had not heard of him prior to this until Zenith impulsively chose Ben to be a player in an episode of the show, despite Ben's objections.
Zenith teleported in close to every female that Ben had interacted with, and declared that the aim of the game would be for the girls to fight for Ben's hand in marriage. Zenith then took everyone on a series of rounds, disregarding their general safety as contestants were eliminated. It was later revealed that all the eliminated contestants were teleported to the Null Void, so Zenith could feed off the drama and conflict this would cause.
After everyone escaped from the Null Void, Ben attempted to apprehend him, but Zenith proved a capable fighter in his own right. Zenith was eventually incapacitated by Pesky Dust and trapped in a never-ending nightmare of boredom, and subsequently arrested.
Powers and Abilities
Zenith's primarily ability appears to be teleportation, demonstrated when he teleported his show and contestants to various locales around the universe. He also proved to be a considerably skilled fighter with flight capability and sonic booms at his disposal.
His race, the Pugnavore, feed on drama, so they try to cause as much of it as possible, using it as substance as well as making themselves more powerful.
Weaknesses
Due to his need for drama, Zenith is horrified by boredom. After Pesky Dust trapped him in a nightmare where Rook Blonko described the never-ending, cyclic agrarian lifestyle of a Revonnahgander, a sleeping Zenith curled up into the fetal position.
