List of Marvel Comics characters: Z

Zadkiel is currently imprisoned in Hell, condemned by an enraged God for his treachery to be tortured for all eternity for his horrific crimes against Paradise and Creation.

[4] During the 2015 "Secret Wars" story line, a variation of Zadkiel resides in the Battleworld domain of Doomstadt and works for Arcade as the Killiseum's chief of security.

The Brigade is employed by Baron Zemo to acquire the fragments of the Bloodstone, and Zaran fights Captain America and Diamondback but loses.

[22] They are later hired by Maelstrom to help him build a device capable of destroying the universe and battle the Great Lakes Avengers, during which he kills the newly initiated G.L.A.

[24][25] Although he has no superhuman abilities, he is an extremely athletic man with knowledge of numerous forms of armed and unarmed combat and of such varied weapons as knives, bows, staffs, maces, spears, nunchakus, shuriken, and guns.

He usually carries small sais (three pronged daggers) attached to his gauntlets, collar and codpiece, a bo staff/spear/blow gun, and a wide variety of weapons as needed.

Becoming a professional criminal, Van Zante dons a costume and adopts the alias of Water Wizard, and robs a brokerage house.

[33] At this time van Zante travels to Saudi Arabia, where he discovers he can also affect forms of liquid other than water, including oil, and after a brief criminal venture and battling the Arabian Knight, he is returned to prison by Ghost Rider.

[35] Gary Gilbert invites Water Wizard to attend a meeting at the Bar With No Name to discuss the threat of the Scourge of the Underworld.

During the "AXIS" storyline, Deadpool is among the characters affected by Scarlet Witch's morality-inverting spell, transforming him into a pacifist named Zenpool.

Though originally Kenji just seems to be a messy introvert with hygiene issues, his powers quickly manifest into uncontrollable organic tendrils, which kill his assistant and start to wreak havoc in Tokyo.

[52] Soon afterward, Cyclops, Wolverine, Rogue, Hope, and the other Lights arrive in Japan to find Kenji's organic tendrils destroying the city.

Kenji hooks his tendrils into each of his teammates' necks, granting them immunity from the telepath's influence, and the group heads into the hospital, and convince the baby to be born.

He then criticizes the leaders of the world for restarting the Sentinel Program after Quentin Quire made them tell their darkest truths on television.

Velocidad, Transonic, Primal, and Zero choose to stay on Utopia with Hope while Idie leaves with Wolverine for the rebuilt X-Mansion now named the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.

[volume & issue needed] During a training exercise Hope and the remaining lights on Utopia spar against the likes of Colossus, Storm, Magik, Namor, Psylocke, and Magneto.

[volume & issue needed] Shortly after the sparring exercise Hope learns that the Stepford Cuckoos have discovered a new light in Pakistan and chose to keep it from her.

[63] When The Lights are attacked by a group of Utopia residents jealous of the young team's status with the X-Men, Hope usurps Zero's control over his powers to force an end to the conflict.

As it turned out Kenji was found by Davis Harmon, a cyborg and CEO of Eaglestar Industries, when the latter searched the ruins of Utopia to salvage its technology.

He began to attack the school and simultaneously unleashed armies of his techno-organic "meat puppets" on the places around the world that Storm had recently helped.

Storm refused and, still connected to his mind, showed Kenji that many of her friends, like Callisto and Forge, were once monsters, but still decided to fight for a better world.

Shadowcat managed to remove the self-destruction device, but Zero realised that his sentience was a cruel joke played on him by Stryfe; it was just programmed to think it was alive.

[77] This version is a student at Coles Academic High School and a TikTok social media influencer who initially bullies Kamala Khan before later befriending her.

While participating in a cosplay contest at New Jersey AvengerCon, Zimmer's life was saved by Ms. Marvel, whom she deduced was her schoolmate Kamala Khan.

Zimmer received a surge in popularity after she posted videos about being rescued by a superhero, whom she dubbed Night Light, although she did not divulge Khan's identity.

[87] Zuri, Okoye and Nakia accompany T'Challa to New York City, where he meets and befriends Everett K. Ross, their intended handler on foreign soil.

[91] Zuri has superhuman strength,[volume & issue needed] and is also an expert hunter, skilled tracker, and a master at armed and hand-to-hand combat.

Twenty-five years later, Zuri appoints T'Challa as the king, and oversees the latter's fight with M'Baku by administering a liquid to temporarily negate abilities.

[95] ZZZXX is incapacitated by Nova,[96] and is successfully separated and contained[97] to be used as a weapon against an evil version of planet-sized brain from the Cancerverse which proved to be a feast.

[98] Some time after being used by the Kin Crimson secret society, ZZZXX used Cassandra Nova to fight back,[99] and transferred on to Ava'Dara Naganandini.
