There were the Christ Sisters, a really hot vocal quartet. They were the most popular musical act in Jerusalem from 28 to 31 C.E.

There was not more then one Christ, but there were many who claimed to be a savior and or prophet of God. It was a way to try to unite the Jewish people against Rome.

Jews never got along very well with the Romans and viewed them as they did the Babylonians, they were hoping for a militant savior, who would crush Rome.

---Christ means anointed , and there were those that were "SELF ANOINTED"--Please note reference in Jesus day:

(Acts 5:33-40) “33 When they heard this, they felt deeply cut and were wanting to do away with them. 34 But a certain man rose in the San´he·drin, a Pharisee named Ga·ma´li·el, a Law teacher esteemed by all the people, and gave the command to put the men outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them: “Men of Israel, pay attention to yourselves as to what YOU intend to do respecting these men. 36 For instance, before these days Theu´das rose, saying he himself was somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined his party. But he was done away with, and all those who were obeying him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After him Judas the Gal·i·le´an rose in the days of the registration, and he drew off people after him. And yet that man perished, and all those who were obeying him were scattered abroad. 38 And so, under the present circumstances, I say to YOU, Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is from God, YOU will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, YOU may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.” 40 At this they gave heed to him, and they summoned the apostles, flogged them, and ordered them to stop speaking upon the basis of Jesus’ name, and let them go.”

There is only one Jesus Christ for all mankind and for all worlds that He had created. His infinite Atonement for mankind is such that no one can comprehend its magnitude.

As for the other questions there were Christ's apostles and other disciples, but zealots in the form of Pharisees and Saduccees were overwhelmingly against the teachings of Christ.

Not everyone who displays spiritual power is of the Body of Christ.
Christ is not a single spirit, or a religion. It is the unifying of our Creator's own Body. All of our
spirits being a spark of the Light that the Creator
is.
"As the body has many members, and those members being many are one body, so is
CHRIST!"

Well, 'Christ' only applies to Jesus and this distinction was only given after his death not during his life. I know that and I'm a buddhist.

You probably need to define your use of the word "Christ". If as you suggest, you mean it to be synonymous with "zealot", then yes, there probably was.
