Powers

Zero's cybernetic suit affords him superhuman strength, reflexes, and agility and computer-speed calculations. He is equipped with numerous utilities including infra-red vision, magnetic grapples in his feet and hands, and active camouflage which renders him nearly invisible when moving slowly. He is skilled with a variety of weapons, but he favors senbon at a distance and, up close, a ninjato with an adamantium blade and tang.

Weaknesses

Zero's personality, whatever it may once have been, is buried deep within layers and layers of military programming. While sophisticated, he lacks intuition and must draw on past encounters to develop future strategies.

Past

Once a Spec Ops officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, Zero's body was recovered after his mind had been wiped by a powerful telepathic mutant. The body was secretly transfered to a Vanguard facility at the request of Colonel Gideon Vasher, and a substitute body was buried with full military honors in its place. Zero is the pinnacle of cybernetic technology and the realization of Colonel Vasher's dream - to create a human soldier capable of engaging and destroying any mutant threat.

Appearances

Foxhunt

Zero's first field assignment was to locate and apprehend Virginia "Ginny" Hayes, aka Vigilante. He tracked the mutant to her apartment where, after a brief struggle, he rendered Ginny unconscious and delivered her to a subterranean research facility owned by Vanguard. Colonel Vasher allowed Ginny to temporarily escape her cell so he could study her teleportation abilities in action; Zero was called upon again to ensure that she did not go far and to bring her back into custody.
