Dr. Ramzi Razem', 'As the leader and mentor of The 99, Dr. Ramzi Razem directs the quest to find the lost Noor Stones of Baghdad, which is the comic book’s main plot line.<br/><br/> As legend has it, when the Mongols sacked Baghdad in 1258, they razed the largest library in the city, Dar al-Hikma. To erase any record of the civilization, they threw the books into the Tigris River, which ran black with ink. But the caliphate guardians, in a desperate attempt to save the vast knowledge of the library before it was destroyed, concocted an alchemical solution that would absorb the contents of the books. The solution solidified into the 99 Noor Stones, which supposedly contain the lost knowledge of the Library of Baghdad.<br/><br/> Ramzi believes the legend, including the idea that the stones activate superpowers within certain people. He conducts his search through the nonprofit 99 Steps Foundation, and although possessing no superpowers of his own, he helps other characters to use theirs.', '1', '3'],

His original look reflected his academic background, though his ethnicity was left deliberately vague (not wanting to imply that one country might be superior to another). This design, however, was rejected as looking too old and lacking a certain heroic quality.',  '2', '0'],
   
   ['slideshow/images/2_ramzi.jpg', '3.) Dr. Ramzi Razem', 'The creative team liked this younger, better-looking Ramzi, but they wanted to keep his glasses and thought it was unusual for an adult Islamic male not to have facial hair. They also thought the loose tie made him look too disheveled.', '3', '1'],
   
   ['slideshow/images/3_ramzi.jpg', '4.) Dr. Ramzi Razem', 'This sketch won over the team. Ramzi was now handsome and stylish but also projected an educated and serious demeanor. The team joked that the final sketch looked like an idealized version of The 99’s creator, Dr. Naif al-Mutawa, even though the artist who drew it had never met or seen images of him.', '0', '2']
