Zim (Comics)
Background
The Irken Invader Zim is the protagonist of his eponymous series. 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 an extraordinary genius 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.
Powers and Stats
Tier: 8-A | 8-A physically. His technology Varies from 8-A to Low 4-C to 3-A Irken Technology, up to Low 2-B via the Florpus hole. High 2-B, likely 2-A with sufficient preparation
Name: Zim
Origin: Invader Zim
Sex: Male
Age: At least 50 (It is noted that not even Jhonen knows Zim's actual age, along with this Tak stated an event that happened 50 years ago that shows Tak and Zim still looking the same implying they age slower then humans[1])
Classification: Invader, Irken
Attack Potency: Multi-City Block level+ (The comics are around the same timeframe as Enter the Florpus as shown by the intro to Enter the Florpus and the comics first issue being the exact same. Which would make Zim and Dib comparable to their Enter the Florpus selves, where Dib who tanked Professor Membrane doing a massive ground explosion which destroyed nearby buildings, robots, and left a large crater which was calculated at this) | Multi-City Block level+ physically. His technology Varies from Multi-City Block level+ normally (Can regularly match and overpower Dib) to Low Mass Star level (Used a bomb to blow up a planet he was originally trapped on with the explosion being calculated at this. Can create devices that can destroy Earth. Can summon the Star Donkey, who can kick the earth towards the sun. Has a Bazoogian Core-Muncher that can eat through planets. Nearly destroyed his home planet during Operation Impending Doom I. Can possibly wrap the entire Earth within mechanical wiring), to Universe level with Irken Technology (Scaling to Zib, who used Irken technology with his own upgrades completely destroy his own timeline), up to Low Multiverse level via the Florpus hole (The Florpus hole is a spatial anomaly of which sucks in anything nearby and collide them with other realities). High Multiverse level (Through the use of Zib's Irken Technology with his own upgrades, Zim overloaded it to explode, eliminating all alternate timelines forever. Created a hole in reality via a Muscle suit that would have spread throughout infinite individual universes in the shape of ab muscles had Zim persisted with his Sit-ups, which he had exceeded over an infinite amount), likely High Multiverse level+ with sufficient preparation (Managed to transcend the cosmic mechanics of the Multiverse through warping Time-Space just by doing sit-ups alone)
Dimensionality: 3-D
Travel Speed: Subsonic on foot (Ran up the stairs quickly enough before a lady could turn her head.[2] Should be comparable to Tak who moved so fast she appeared as a blur.[3] 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[4]), FTL when piloting the Voot Cruiser (Flew to Mars in roughly a minute,[5] which was calculated at this) and FTL+ 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[6]) | Subsonic on foot, higher with spider legs, Massively Hypersonic with Jetpack, FTL when piloting the Voot Cruiser, FTL+ with the Voot Cruiser on autopilot. Extra-Temporal with the Muscle suit (Can move beyond all space-time)
Combat Speed: FTL (Comparable to Dib who can fight with his robots) | FTL. Extra-Temporal with the Muscle cut (Did infinite sit-ups)
Reaction Speed: FTL (Can pilot the Voot Cruiser,[7][8][9] piloted Mars across the solar system while dodging Dib, who was piloting Mercury[10]) | FTL. Extra-Temporal
Lifting Strength: Above Average Human (Can casually lift Keef around and swing him like a baseball bat[11]) | Above Average Human. Extra-Temporal with the Muscle Suit
Striking Strength: Multi-City Block Class+ | Multi-City Block Class+. High Multiversal, likely High Multiversal+ with the Muscle Suit
Durability: Multi-City Block level+ | Multi-City Block level+ but should be higher than before. High Multiverse level, likely High Multiverse level+ with the Muscle Suit
Stamina: Superhuman+ (Was sitting in a toilet laughing for years according to Dib Membrane. Traveled from the Irken Armada to Earth in 6 months without any rest and was still in top shape)
Range: Below Standard Melee Range physically, several meters with spider legs, far higher with communication devices, Kilometers with Water Manipulation (The water balloon flooded the entire city), Planetary with Equipment (Can fly around on Mars to collide into objects, created an item that could kill all alien pants across the Earth, used a bomb to blow up a planet he was originally trapped on), Interstellar with Guidance System Tractor, Low Multiverse level via the Florpus hole (The Florpus hole is a spatial anomaly of which sucks in anything nearby and collide them with other realities), High Multiversal, likely High Multiversal+ with sufficient preparation (The muscle suit enables him to create a hole into a plane beyond the cosmic mechanics of the multiverse)
- GIR: The G Information Retrieval Unit, Zim's surrogate minion who was made from scrapped parts from the Almighty Tallest. Due to this he is heavily incompetent and completely stupid. GIR will display brief instances of complete functionality. Usually triggered by Zim giving an order, this "Duty Mode" is made manifest by the teal parts of GIR's body and eyes flashing red, his voice changing from high-pitched to harsh, deep and rough, and GIR himself snapping to attention, alert and utterly obedient. He concludes it with a salute and response of "Yes, sir!". These random bouts never last for long, though, and after a few seconds, GIR is right back to his gleeful, hyperactive self. GIR possesses "superior geographic abilities" that were given to him by Zim. In his head there are an array of various weapons, but he rarely uses them. There is also a great deal of empty space that he uses to store things, like a giant pile of rubber piggies, a puppy, or even a beehive. This is implied to be the "thermos" function stated by Tallest Red to be built into all SIR units. He also has X-ray vision, the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes, and jets in his feet. GIR can also analyze living things and inanimate objects, from species to intelligence. GIR is shown to be extremely strong as shown in the episode "Megadoomer", as he carried a huge plug around the neighborhood to Dib's house. He also seems to be very durable as he was also able to withstand a big explosion without being destroyed in the same episode. He is shown to be very fast in "Bad Bad Rubber Piggy" as he outran several missles Dib shot at him.
- Mini-Moose: Mini-Moose is Zim's other minion, he contains many more deadly super weapons in "Nubs of Doom", giving the name to what would have been its debut episode. Minimoose is also capable of giving speeches, as shown when he introduced Santa Claus and the teleporter to the people of Earth, who cheered massively; either due to Santa's presence, or that Minimoose made a satisfactory speech. Minimoose is also shown to be quite persuasive. In "Nubs of Doom", another speech was made by Minimoose to get the "Stop Piling Cows" protest group to leave the base. In Enter the Florpus, Minimoose has the power to channel cosmic energy powerful enough to move an entire planet from one place of the universe to another. He's also shown to have some telekinetic abilities, as he was able to remove a pizza sticker from a car without touching it.
- The Voot Cruiser: The Voot Runner, known also as the Voot Cruiser, is the most out-of-date known Irken vehicle, presumably rendered obsolete by the Spittle Runner. This was the spacecraft Zim used regularly, from traveling on a six-month-long journey from Conventia to Earth, and is his primary mode of transportation throughout the series. By human standards, the Voot Cruiser is an extremely fast craft, capable of entering and exiting their solar system in mere minutes. In terms of color, the Voot is very similar to many Irken craft in that it seems to be composed of various shades of red or purple. In terms of propulsion, the Voot runs on an unknown fuel directed primarily through two rear nozzles on each side, directly under the utility pods. Through these nozzles, metal legs are also able to be deployed in the rare occasion the Voot needs them, such as when Zim is choosing a disguise. The weapons systems on the Voot Cruiser were only used in "Tak: The Hideous New Girl" and "Hamstergeddon". In the former, Zim flew out into space, pursuing Tak who oddly was making little use of her ship's weapons. In the latter, Zim goaded Peepi with two orbs, possibly balls of plasma or some kind of charged particles, fired from the cannons.
- PAK: The PAK is a backpack-like device that is grafted to the spine of every Irken upon their hatching. Serving as a secondary brain, the PAK contains all of an Irken's personality and statistics. The device contains all of the Irken's knowledge, effectively serving as a auxiliary brain, and holds a great array of weapons or tools. It also contains the host's personality, charging cell, atmospheric processor, and a handy auto-reset that will "reactivate" an Irken if they suffer a fatal injury ("Plague of Babies"). It also seems to be able heal the host more quickly than would happen naturally. The PAK demonstrates to perfection the cybernetic development, and reliance, that Irkens possess. Unable to live without them, and essentially composed by them, the Irken and their PAK are essentially one and the same thing. It's been revealed a few times that the PAK is sentient in a way, as it can act outside of the will of its host. In deleted footage from the episode "Abducted", Zim falls through fire and is momentarily unconscious as he takes a nasty fall. His PAK legs activate, catching onto a ledge and carrying its limp owner to safety and given the chance, if a PAK is separated from its host, it will soon begin to seek out another, though it will at first attempt to reconnect with its original Irken owner. If this fails, it will attach to the first being available, and will slowly begin to replace the new host's personality with that of the Irken's. However, if the host is not Irken, then they, too, will presumably perish after ten minutes, but in this case after ten minutes with the PAK on. There has been one notable exception to this, as Zib has survived far longer with his Zim's PAK attached, however his DNA and appearance has been noticeably altered as a result. The PAK also has an "emergency attachment protocol" and is capable of connecting with other devices as was the case in Issue 25 in which cables came out of Zim's PAK and connected to Fitzoo-Menga's chair, temporarily giving Zim control of the hovering chair, dubbing himself "ChairZim". As well as containing the Irken's knowledge, the PAK also contains their memories, so Irkens would be unable to get amnesia if they receive head injury.
- PAKs have been seen to contain the following tools:
- Four mechanical, spider-like legs which can be used as:
- A quick and versatile mode of transportation.
- Laser cutters/laser blast
- Shield generator
- Sharp weapons.
- Laser guns
- Four mechanical, spider-like legs which can be used as:
- PAKs have been seen to contain the following tools:
- Electric Batons: A pair of electric batons that can completely fry people.
- Organ Harvesting Device: A device stored in his PAK that allows him to swap one's organs with inanimate objects.
Intelligence: Supergenius (Created the Muscle Suit, a suit that allowed him to do logically impossible feats such as doing beyond infinite sit-ups and caused him to create a hole in reality that brought him to a place beyond the cosmic planes of the multiverse. Is noted that he has untold decades of military experience. Is able to trace the origin of a random wormhole for prototype technology he did not know of. Reverse engineered a prototype wormhole he wasn't even aware of at first. Could hunt, defeat, and capture the Snarl Beast. A beast that is so hard to capture many have died beforehand. Created an Irken resistant, human destroying virus. Created an organism that conquered the entire planet while he was binge watching a TV series. Noted that a typical Zim is far too intelligence and highly trained. 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.[83] Gave GIR a guidance system that allowed him to find any location in the entire universe,[84] which Zim noted was the finest piece of Irken Tech that he improved upon.[85] Makes a compass out of items he found in the garbage that's fully magnetic attractable.[86] Was somehow capable of making a house 100% germ free before GIR came back in.[87] 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.[88] 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.[89] Gave Peepi a device allowing him to grow in size and gain more power from absorbing electrical plants.[90] Is capable of repairing the Voot Cruiser, a high tech Irken device.[91] 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.[92] 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.[93] Along with this Dib directly admits Zim is the only other person with technology able to deal with parallel dimensions.[94] 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.[95] Saw a hovercraft as weak in engineering.[96] 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.[97] Created a behavior modulator to fix GIR's stupidity due to the Tallest making him out of spare scrapped parts.[98] Reprogrammed laser turrets on Hobo 13 to only aim at one person with having no knowledge prior about the laser turrets.[99] 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.[100] 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.[101] Was able to reprogram the evil zombie cyborgs in the last minute.[102] 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 years 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)
Weaknesses: Zim is brash, arrogant, as well as overconfident, and doesn't think things entirely through making him a threat to everyone, including himself. He can be kind of irrational as well. His body is also weak against the pollutants in Earth's water, as they are corrosive to his body, though he can compensate for this weakness by applying paste to his skin. His body is also weak against meat, with no known way for him to resist it. Cannot survive for more than 10 minutes without his PAK. The PAK can only take over those with Irken biology or an inanimate object (as it worked on a chair), should a human take it or those with incompatible features, they would die in 10 minutes. Is somewhat delusional in the sense that he sometimes doesn't get things being directly said to him, ignoring them or interpreting them in ways that may favor him/his ego. The Megadoomer X-3 Combat Stealth Mech cannot turn Zim invisible and needs a nearby outlet to stay on, additionally it can overload draining an entire city of its electricity. Zim's GIR unit is extremely incompetent leading him to mess up most of Zim's overall plans. Zim is also afraid of animatronics.
Key: Base | With preparation time and equipment
Note 1: The body we see for Zim isn't actually Zim, the PAK is Zim, the body is just something to carry the PAK around, thus killing the body would not grant one a win as the PAK would merely attach itself to the nearest object and that will become Zim.
Note 2: Despite common misconception, Zim's intelligence is not hindered by his incompetence, a majority of the series has shown that Zim's plans failures is due to either Dib or Gaz thwarting them or GIR messing his plans up, it is almost always outside forces getting in the way of Zim's plan and not his own arrogance. The rare cases where it is Zim would be moreso PIS or ocassions that are massively outmatched by the occasions he's used his intelligence correctly.
Note 3: All events in the TV series has happened in the comics as shown in Issue 25.
