- In Silver Surfer, Prime Minister Zarek appeared in the episode "The Forever War" where he was voiced by actor Chris Britton. He was on Kree-Lar where he debriefed Commander Enoch about the loss of General Koval to an unknown space anomaly. At the time, the Silver Surfer had managed to arrive on the Kree homeworld where he was attacked by the planet's defenses. According to intelligence receive by Zarek, it was determined that the Surfer no longer served Galactus and an audience was granted with the former Herald. The Prime Minister learnt that the Silver Surfer wanted to consult the Supreme Intelligence about his lost homeworld. However, the Prime Minister stated that the Kree believe in utility and such a request would only be granted if the Silver Surfer did something for the empire. To that end, the Surfer was dispatched to find the status of General Koval past the space-time anomaly. The Silver Surfer instead returned with the Carridasian Adam Warlock who attacked the defenses of Kree-Lar until the Supreme Intelligence captured both the Herald and Warlock.
