| Zero was created 2000 years in the future by the Askani as a prototype for the Ambient-energy Dampening Automated peacekeeping Mechanisms (ADAMs). Zero was damaged and found by the mutant Stryfe, who opposed both the Askani and their enemies, the Neo-Canaanites. Stryfe reactivated Zero, but didn't repair his speech-functions, leaving Zero mute. Zero would function as Stryfe's most trusted ally, bodyguard and, due to his ability to teleport, transportation. His programming ensured complete obedience to Stryfe. When Stryfe's armies were defeated by the Neo-Canaanites, Stryfe and Zero fled, travelling back in time to the late 20th century. |
