Zzzax

Zzzax

  • Zzzax
  • No Dual Identity

Zzzax is a sentient mass of electrical energy born when terrorists sabotaged a New York nuclear power plant, creating a living electromagnetic field. It initially went on a rampage, absorbing the brainwaves of victims to gain intelligence, before the Hulk and Hawkeye stopped it. Zzzax has resurfaced many times as a recurring Hulk enemy, at one point hosting General Ross's mind. It escaped in the Raft breakout, was later captured by heroes such as She-Hulk and the Mighty Avengers, and served the villain MODOK Superior.
