Here's What Zenon, Girl Of The 21st Century Looks Like Today

Initially, the character Zenon Kar made her debut appearance in the mid-'90s in the book series "Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century." However, in the late '90s, the talented young actor Kirsten Storms brought the stellar character to the small screen in the Disney Channel Original Movie "Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century." With plenty of unique space-themed catchphrases, a nefarious plot to destroy Zenon's beloved space station, and the unforgettable song "Supernova Girl," it's no wonder this Disney film now holds a special place in fans' hearts.

Thanks to the positive reception, the Disney Channel turned its popular original movie into a trilogy, offering up a sequel, "Zenon: The Zequel” in 2001 and a third film, "Zenon: Z3," in 2004. Both follow-ups saw Storms reprise her role as Zenon, with fans watching as the space teen became a young adult who tackles plenty of wild adventures. In 2019, Storms wrote a tribute and shared a throwback image of her beloved character (alongside her BFF, Nebula) on Instagram, saying, "20 years ago today I slapped on spandex and ventured into outer space! This stellar movie has a special place in my heart forever (maybe not the spandex tho)."
