Captain Z-Ro not to be confused with all the other Zeros out there.

Well, he was originally "Captain Zero" but he found out there was another time traveler by that name so he changed. He later toured as "The Original Captain Z-Ro" and "The Legendary Captain Z-Ro featuring Jet" before the interstate transportation of a minor for immoral purposes charges were filed.

The Wiki entry reminded me of a few concepts creators have used over the years - Isaac Asimov's time traveling society, H. Beam Piper's cross dimensional "police force" and Irwin Allen's "Time Tunnel". Obviously some treatments of the concept have been better handled than others.
