Zealot (Thomas Philip Moreau) is a fictional character, a supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe who possesses the ability of earth-manipulation. He is an enemy of the X-Men's sometime foe Magneto. He appeared in the Magneto Rex miniseries.

Zealot first appeared in Magneto Rex #1 and was created by Joe Pruett and Brandon Peterson.

Zealot is a mutant from the island nation of Genosha. He is the son of the Genegineer who genetically engineered Genosha's mutant population, transforming them into a slave caste in the process. Zealot became an enemy of Magneto when the latter was given control of the war-torn, emancipated Genosha by the United Nations.

Zealot led a force of mutant rebels who violently opposed Magneto's rule and fought Magneto, Rogue and Quicksilver.

In the end, Zealot was killed by Magneto who encased him and his followers in silicate matter that was then hurled into space.

Zealot has the ability to manipulate rocks and soil at will.
