The Irken Invader Zim is the protagonist of his eponymous series, Invader Zim. He's an alien whose actions usually led to disaster, resulting in his superiors, the Almighty Tallest, sending him on a "Secret Mission" to Earth. Zim's primary desire is to conquer the planet and impress his superiors, though his clumsiness makes this an almost impossible job. Zim is a supergenius more than capable of conquering Earth, but hardly uses his skills properly as when he's close to taking over the planet, his own negligence usually causes his downfall.
Zim is assisted by his enthusiastic robot GIR and opposed by his nemesis Dib, who wants to expose Zim to the world as an alien. It's suggested that Zim and Dib's rivality gives them both some form of motivation in their jobs.
Grade: S
Tier: Varies-A with Cartoon Physics. Has Shown: 9-A physically. Varies-D which range from: 7-B to 5-B, up to High 3-A with Preparation, 2-B via the Florpus hole
Cardinality: Finite
Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: Varies: Absurdity with Cartoon Physics. Has Shown: Room level (Potency) physically (Can injure Dib, who tanked Professor Membrane doing a massive ground explosion which destroyed nearby buildings, robots, and left a large crater]. open a locked metal door via repeatedly ramming Throbulator into it. Cracked a door in half by slamming it open). Varies: Preparation which range from: City level (Planned out and made a huge space station during a preparation sequence of 2 days which also involved him finding a way to get around his weakness to water and ending with him making a large water balloon that was resistant to the effects of atmospheric re-entry and could easily destroy meteors in it's way along with satellites, ending with it flooding the entire city [4]) to Planet level (Zim gains access to Mars as an entire vehicle that he can use to travel with and collide into objects[5]), up to Multi-Supercluster level with Preparation (Created an object capable of absorbing infinite energy), Multi-Universe level via the Florpus hole (The Florpus hole is a spatial anomaly of which sucks in anything nearby and collide them with other realities)
Durability: Varies: Absurdity with Cartoon Physics. Has Shown: 'Room level (Comparable to Dib and Professor Membrane, who survived an explosion that created a massive crater and destroyed several robots. Mini Moose' doosmday activation destroyed Zim's entire house overtime and Zim tanked it. Tanked slamming into a door at high speeds with GIR's jet,[6] survived a fall from the top of a skyscraper to a dumpster,[7] survived crashing through a building.[8] Tanked an explosion that destroyed his entire lab[9])
Striking Strength: Varies: Absurdity with Cartoon Physics. Has Shown: Room Class (Potency)
Lifting Strength: Varies: Absurdity with Cartoon Physics. Has Shown: Above Average Human (Can casually lift Keef around and swing him like a baseball bat[10]. Can casually bench press GIR)
Travel Speed: Varies: Absurdity with Cartoon Physics. Has Shown: Superhuman on foot (Ran up the stairs quickly enough before a lady could turn her head.[11] Should be comparable to Tak who moved so fast she appeared as a blur.[12]. Should be comparable, albeit slower than Doctor Membrane who ran a large distance through a giant crowd in a split second), Higher with spider legs, Massively Hypersonic with Jetpack (Flew across the planet Jackers ship, which is large enough to capture planets, in seconds[13]), Unknown when piloting the Voot Cruiser (Flew to Mars in a short timeframe[14]) and Faster Than Light with the Voot Cruiser on autopilot (Flew from Irk, a planet so far away from Earth that the Irken Empire had no idea of it's existence despite being on a universal conquest, and having many galaxies and planets mapped out[15]. Should be comparable, albeit slower than Doctor Membrane who ran a large distance through a giant crowd in a split second)
Attack Speed: Varies: Absurdity with Cartoon Physics. Has Shown: Superhuman (Comparable to Dib who can fight with his robots)
Reaction Speed: Varies: Absurdity with Cartoon Physics. Has Shown: Superhuman (Can pilot the Voot Cruiser[16][17][18], piloted Mars across the solar system while dodging Dib, who was piloting Mercury[19])
Stamina: Superhuman+ (Traveled from the Irken Armada to Earth in 6 months without any rest and was still in top shape, could stay within a toilet for months without showing any form of body degression, even mocking Dib for his human composition making him fatter and weaker)
Range: Below Standard Melee physically, several meters with spider legs, Far Higher with communication devices, Kilometers with Water Manipulation (The water balloon flooded the entire city), Planetary with Mars (Can fly around on Mars to collide into objects), Interstellar with Guidance System Tractor, Multi-Universe level via the Florpus hole (The Florpus hole is a spatial anomaly of which sucks in anything nearby and collide them with other realities)
Intelligence: Supergenius Intelligence (Zim was able to quickly make a parent teaching video program that inserts the data and knowledge from the video programs into the robot parents heads so that they could act as real parents in a few hours, the plan only really messed up due to GIR interfering with the data.[20] Gave GIR a guidance system that allowed him to find any location in the entire universe,[21] which Zim noted was the finest piece of Irken Tech that he improved upon.[22] Makes a compass out of items he found in the garbage that's fully magnetic attractable.[23] Was somehow capable of making a house 100% germ free before GIR came back in.[24] Planned out and made a huge space station during a preparation sequence of 2 days which also involved him finding a way to get around his weakness to water and ending with him making a large water balloon that was resistant to the effects of atmospheric re-entry and could easily destroy meteors in it's way along with satellites, ending with it flooding the entire city.[25] Modified a school bus to be capable of space travel and sending them into a wormhole taking them into a dimension with just a moose.[26] Gave Peepi a device allowing him to grow in size and gain more power from absorbing electrical plants.[27] Is capable of repairing the Voot Cruiser, a high tech Irken device.[28] Notes that Professor Membrane's dimensional scope, a device that allows one to peer into alternate realities, is a mere play thing and that he's used more complicated devices.[29] This is further supported by him being capable of easily being capable of instantly using a device to open up the dimensional portal in Dib's head.[30] Along with this Dib directly admits Zim is the only other person with technology able to deal with parallel dimensions.[31] Fooled Dib through creating a Dib robot spy that claimed he came from a future where Zim won, tricking Dib to fall into a trap, fooled Doctor Membrane and even Gaz for a little while in the disguise.[32] Saw a hovercraft as weak in engineering.[33] Zim noted that he is the only one with the technology able to decode the files on Tak's card, making his technology superior to Professor Membrane's.[34] Created a behavior modulator to fix GIR's stupidity due to the Tallest making him out of spare scrapped parts.[35] Reprogrammed laser turrets on Hobo 13 to only aim at one person with having no knowledge prior about the laser turrets.[36] Won every single challenge on Hobo 13 despite everyone saying it is the hardest training sector and it being widely accepted he would've lost.[37] As shown in several episodes Zim can work with Irken Tech, said tech is hard for Dib to understand/comprehend requiring him to spy on Zim's base to learn more about it.[38] Was able to reprogram the evil zombie cyborgs in the last minute.[39] Fooled Dib into thinking his plane was to use orphans to take over the world when realistically his plan was to stall Dib so he'd let the reactor overload. Made modifications to a phantom suit allowing him to act like a ghost with it. While only 2 minutes old, after being injected with knowledge Zim found 40 shmillion mistakes in the knowledge given to him. Made a device that absorbs infinite energy. Hid in his house for months to keep Dib watching for him, slowly degressing Dib's body overtime allowing Zim to do whatever he wants without his main rival in the way, has a gadget capable of taking over the control room of Professor Membrane, upgraded Professor Membrane's braclet to have control of everything, fooled Dib through using his original legitimate depression as a ploy to make Dib think Zim no longer wanted to fight having him give Zim his dad's bracelet)
