History

Zzzxx, later known as Zzxz, was an unique symbiote mutation discovered by the Shi'ar, who managed to capture it. Emperor D'Ken took an interest in the symbiote, but before he had a chance to study it he was killed by Vulcan. Zzzxx was classified as one of the five most dangerous criminals the Shi'ar Empire had ever captured, and was selected by Vulcan to serve in his new Imperial Guard, having it bonded to an unnamed Shi'ar soldier. Zzzxx briefly encountered Lilandra Neramani during a fight with the Starjammers and attempted to bond to her, but was repelled.

In a rematch against the Starjammers, Zzzxx's host was killed and the symbiote transferred to Raza Longknife. All the Praetorians were captured on Kree-Lar by Nova Prime, and imprisoned on Nu-Xandar (Ego) for their war crimes against their Nova Corps prisoners. During this time, Richard had the remaining Nova Corps members, as well as the Worldmind supercomputer, look into ways to separate Zzzxx from Raza without killing them.

When Ego regained control of himself, Zzxz and Raza were transferred on Zan Philo's Corps starship Resolute Duty. Zzzxx was successfully separated from Raza and later launched at the corrupted Charles Xavier of the Cancerverse during the engagement at the Fault. As this Xavier was essentially a giant brain, the symbiote immediately began devouring him.

The Kin Crimson

Some time after the Cancerverse incident, Zzxz was taken in and lobotomized by the Kin Crimson, a secret society puppeteering Shi'ar for aeons. They used its DNA to create the Wet Skin, a technology that allows their Nobles to weaponize their own blood. The choice of Zzxz for the basis would prove, however, to be something of a mistake. While fighting Noble Pr!z the Red, Cassandra Nova was able to activate the brain-eating genes of Zzxz, killing the Noble in the process. Cassandra used her powers to resurrect the mutant symbiote and heal its lobotomization, later bonding to it in order to fight Holocaust. After the battle concluded, Cassandra passed it on to Warbird.

Attributes

Powers

Mutant Symbiote Biology: Zzzxx is seemingly unique among symbiotes as it feeds on its host's brains rather than adrenaline. Aside from that purported uniqueness, it possesses powers common among its species, such as the power to mimic any type of clothing, blending in its surroundings, and enhancing its hosts' physical abilities to superhuman levels.

Notes
