Citroen's C-ZERO was one of the very earliest full-electric small cars, launched back in 2010 and sold over ten years until more sophisticated full-electric battery small hatches arrived on the market. It is also one of the rarest cars you could see in the UK. The C-ZERO might not be the most adventurous all-electric vehicle you've ever seen, but it's an affordable and potentially sensible choice if all you need a little BEV model for is very short hops. You'll need to buy very carefully though.
This C-ZERO model was part of a joint development programme which also bought us Mitsubishi's MiEV and Peugeot's iON, all essentially based on the same design. The C-ZERO started out in 47KW form, but was later upgraded with a 64 or 67KW powerplant. It sold until 2020.

Zero lived with three other lions at Africa Alive at Kessingland, Suffolk. He was born in January 2004 at Woburn Safari Park and transferred to Africa Alive in May 2005 where he was joined by lioness Mo from West Midland Safari Park. The pair started their own pride and were the parents of two litters of cubs born in 2006 and 2009.
After suffering from heart disease, kidney failure and multiple liver tumours, Zero was put to sleep on Thursday 1st. September 2022.
Lions are animals that have long been kept in zoos. In 18th. century England, the price of admission to the Tower of London Menagerie, the pre-cursor to the London Zoo, was three pence, or a cat or dog to be fed to the lions.
Lions have a short coat of tawny or golden fur with a long tail that has a tuft of longer fur at the end. The markings on their coats are much fainter than the bold stripes and spots displayed on other felines which helps these large carnivores in going unseen when stalking prey in the long grasses. Lions have strong and powerful jaws that contain 30 teeth in total which includes four fang-like canines and four carnassial teeth that are perfectly designed for slicing through flesh.
The lion is one of the largest cats in the world with males being taller and heavier than females and displaying a mane of long hair around their faces, in fact, it is the only case in the feline world where males and females actually look different. Thought to be connected with testosterone levels, the mane of the male lion ranges from blonde to red, brown, and black in colour and covers their head, neck, and chest.
On average, lions eat about 17 to 20 lb. (8 to 9 kg) of meat per day, but males are capable of eating about 100 lb. (43 kg) per day, while females can eat 55 lb. (25 kg) per day. Lions eat a diet that consists of buffalo, wildebeests, and even giraffes, but primarily they catch gazelle, zebra, and warthog along with a number of antelope species by following the herds across the open grasslands. Although lions do not naturally see people as prey, African lions have been known to sneak into villages to find food, and are known to attack up to 700 people every year, with lions being responsible for 100 human fatalities annually in Tanzania alone. In 1898, two Lions in Kenya, known as Tsavo lions, a pair of mane-less lions, became famous for killing and eating over 130 railway workers over a period of around 9 months.
While lions are generally social animals, prides generally consist of 80% females. For this reason, only about one in eight male lions survive to adulthood. Groups of male lions sometimes band together, controlling vast swaths of territory. One famous band of male lions in South Africa’s Kruger National Park controlled over 170,000 acres and was estimated to have killed more than 100 rival lions and cubs.
The largest lion ever recorded weighed 690 lb. (313 kg) and was shot in South Africa in 1936. Ancient lions were even larger than today’s lions and reached up to 1,153 lb. (523 kg). Like most big cats, lions live about 10 to 15 years in the wild.
Between 1993 and 2014, the IUCN estimated the population of lions had decreased by 42% due to poaching and habitat loss. Its estimated there may be fewer than 20,000 lions left in the wild today.

Using the same exact body as Scorpion, I built this BigFig of the frosty opponent Sub-Zero. Of course I swapped the yellow pieces for medium azure blue, and built a custom ninja head in lieu of the previous BigFig's skeleton head.

Sacrifice my vanity, kick off my heels
A careless weight on your hetred,
Understand it's so simple, a simple please
To keep the faithful on a wounded knee,
To the madness I do confess
I never see myself as blessed
Confused, unaddressed,
Like a saviour I do caress,
The truth is boredom more or less
Unused, obsessed, my time is only given to you,
Too much to choose, it's not mine to contemplate
If I can lose, with this blood on my shoes
Comprmise in full extreme, cut off my heels,
Name a price on what's sacred
Guaranteed I've got something,
A royal disease, take a flood to clean these streets
To the madness I do confess, forever see myself as blessed
Immune, obsessed, like a saviour I do caress
The truth is boredom, it's excess
Take more, give less, My time is only given up to you
Too much to choose, it's not mine to contemplate if I can lose
With this blood on my shoes.

I couldn't find any photos to showcase in this picture frame, so I used a piece of fabric. Looks like a zero to me.

Zero is a group of artists founded by Heinz Mack and Otto Piene willing to become an international art movement, sometimes associated with the Nouveau réalisme paradigm.
Zero was the name of a magazine founded in 1957 by Heinz Mack that ceased publication in 1967.
The word “zero” expressed, in Otto Piene’s words, “a zone of silence and of pure possibilities for a new beginning.”
The movement is commonly interpreted as reaction to Abstract Expressionism by arguing that art should be void of color, emotion and individual expression.
Many of the Zero artists are better known for their affiliations with other movements, including Nouveau réalisme, Arte Povera, Minimalism, Op Art and Kinetic art.
Mack and Piene invited artists like Günther Uecker to exhibit in their studio, and the three friends became the founding fathers of the Zero movement, which would soon reach out to embrace artists throughout Europe.
Working in an environment without galleries and contemporary art spaces, these artists came together to exhibit their work in a series of one-day-only evening exhibitions, often staged in their studios.
Manifestos were often published in association with the shows, such as Zero 1 (1958), Zero 2 (1958), and Zero 3 (1961).
These included texts in multiple languages written by artists and curators active in the Zero circle who sought to define what they termed The New Artistic Conception.
The involved artists soon established a vigorous network of collaboration and exchange. Like-minded practitioners came above all from France, Italy, Spain.
In the Netherlands, the “informal group” of Nul (Dutch for 'zero') artists began around 1958 and were linked to the Italian and German painters but penned their own manifesto.
Latin American artists became affiliated with Zero while working in Paris in the 1950s.
In 2008, Piene, Mack, Uecker, and Mattijs Visser created the international ZERO foundation.
ZERO war eine Düsseldorfer Künstlergruppe, die am 24. April 1958 von Heinz Mack und Otto Piene offiziell gegründet wurde. Im Jahr 1961 kam Günther Uecker hinzu.
Mack und Piene sahen die Nachkriegskunst „mit einem Übermaß an Ballast befrachtet“.
Die Künstler suchten einen neuen Anfang, eine „Stunde Null“, die von der Vergangenheit unbelastet sein sollte.
Sie wollten dem aufgezwungenen Drama des Zweiten Weltkriegs und seinen Gräueln eine reinere, heilere Welt entgegensetzen, indem sie in der Alternative zu den alten Kunstwertigkeiten, die sie im Informel und im Tachismus der Nachkriegszeit repräsentiert fanden, eine hoffnungsvolle und idealistische Lebensauffassung sahen.
ZERO bezeichnete eine Phase des Schweigens und der Stille, eine Zwischenzone, in der ein alter Zustand in einen neuen übergeht.
Die Mitglieder erzeugten mit ihren lichtkinetischen Objekten, die mit ihrem Licht und ihrer Kinetik in den Raum greifen und diesen miteinbeziehen, eine neue puristische Ästhetik, die in der Erscheinung zwischen Bild und Skulptur anzusiedeln ist.
Die Gruppe löste sich 1966 auf, nachdem sich die künstlerischen und biografischen Wege ihrer Mitglieder getrennt hatten.
Otto Piene vermerkte zum Namen ZERO:
„Zero als Titel war das Ergebnis monatelanger Suche, schließlich aber fast zufällig gefunden. Wir verstanden von Anfang an Zero als Namen für eine Zone des Schweigens und neuer Möglichkeiten, nicht als Ausdruck des Nihilismus oder einen Dada-ähnlichen Gag.
Wir dachten an das [sic!] Countdown vor dem Raketenstart – Zero ist die unmeßbare Zone, in der ein alter Zustand in einen unbekannten neuen übergeht.

I’m a soldier. Always have been. A damn good one, too. Been doing it for 50 years. I was born in East Germany at the end of the War. My parents were apart of HYDRA. My father was an Übersoldat, a super soldier, a “Red Skull”, the Americans called them. They thought there was only 1, Johan Schmitt, but he was the first of many. They mainly were deployed on the Eastern Front. But, the Soviets were smart. And they had soldiers more vicious, powerful, and demonic than anything HYDRA had ever dreamed of. And hell, HYDRA did some sick things, back then. My father was ripped to pieces in front of my very eyes. He was trying to protect me and my mother. The Soviet demons ripped her head off with their bare hands. And then they came for me. But, they couldn’t kill me. They couldn’t even break my skin. That was when it came, my mutation. I escaped that day, and I was raised from then on, by HYDRA. They made me a soldier unlike anything before me. I worked for them, at first, against the Soviets. But, then I was betrayed by my wife, a Soviet spy. It hurt me. It destroyed me. So, I distanced myself from HYDRA, from everyone. The American CIA eventually found me. They wanted me to help them fight the Soviets. I accepted their offer, albeit reluctantly, and joined a team with others like me. Mutant super-soldiers. The Canadian named Logan, he gave me the name Maverick, was the best man I ever knew. He genuinely wanted to do good, but, like all of us, was manipulated by his superiors. Victor Creed, well, he was an animal. I hated him. He was a bloodthirsty monster, who just wanted to kill. That’s why we disbanded, he killed some civilians. After the team, I went back to HYDRA. I’ve been here ever since, as Agent Zero. Their greatest success. It’s been hard, since the wall fell. I’ve felt like I don’t have as much of a purpose. I really was just their muscle man, taking care of rouge operatives. But now, I feel like I have more of a purpose. Something to fight for, even if it is just to bring down another rouge agent. This time, there are real stakes. It feels good to have a purpose again.
Strucker: Zero. They are in the room. You know the plan. Execute it well. Hail HYDRA.
Hail Hydra.
That’s my cue. I get up, put on my gear, and head out of my hotel room. The targets are in room 2-13, so I head downstairs to intercept them. When I approach the door, I hear chatter inside. Hard to make out, but It sounds like they’re talking about Project: Deathlok. From what I know, Deathlok 1 went rouge, taking the rest of the program with him, on a personal vendetta against S.H.I.E.L.D. My job is to stop him. But now, I need to take out Mr. Quinn, who has conspired with Garrett, and stopped sending HYDRA cybernetic implants for the program.
I breach the door, and scan the room quickly. All the windows are boarded up and all the lights are off, save one in a separate “room” where two men are. I see Quinn at a computer, and who I assume is his bodyguard behind him. I pull out my pistols, and fire two rounds. One strikes Mr. Quinn straight in the face, instantly killing him. These .45 rounds sure make a mess. The second round hits the bodyguard, but does no damage what-so-ever. I fire a second round into his head, and it just bounces off of him. No way. He’s got my mutation. He goes for his gun, and fires a few rounds at me. Some hit, some miss, it doesn’t really matter. I drop my pistols into their holsters, and bring out my blade. I run at him, grab his gun, and toss it away. He then attempts to fight me with his bare hands. He throws a punch at me and lands it on the side of my head, thinking he can damage me. I grab his arm, twist it, bring him up over my head, and throw him to the ground. I don’t expect it to hurt, but I can’t stab him when he’s standing up if I want to penetrate his skin. I slowly press the blade into his stomach. The look on his face is unbearable. I hate my job sometimes. But, I do what I must. The kid passes out, and I get up off of the ground. I go to the laptop, and insert the flash drive I was given. Eventually it says “Download Complete” on the screen, and I pull out the flash drive and leave.

Hey guys! So, this isn't S.H.I.E.L.D., but it's a tie-in series that has a lot of importance in my Universe here, and will explore some background info that will make everything make more sense. Hope you enjoyed the writing/build, and I'll see you guys later!
