ZERO

Real Name: Inapplicable

First Appearance: The New Mutants (Vol. 1) #86, February 1990

Powers: Zero is an ADAM (Algorhythmic wavelength Dampening / Ambient-energy absorbing Modular) unit, originally from the 40th century future of Earth-4935.

He primarily demonstrated the ability to open teleportation portals from one location to another, allowing him and others to travel instantaneously. These portals remained open as long as Zero willed them to, allowing passage back and forth between the two connected points. One occasion claimed he had to have been to a location first before opening a portal there, but that was widely disproven across his various appearances. Zero possessed a wide range of additional capabilities which he was apparently restricted from accessing while under Stryfe's programming.

As an android, his strength, endurance, reflexes, and intelligence and processing abilities all exceeded human prowess. As a peacekeeping mechanism, he was designed with scanners capable of detecting potential sources of conflict, which included the ability to detect and categorize various forms of technology and weaponry, the presence and abilities of superhumans, and even the psychological profiles of sentient beings, to determine if they were peaceful or warlike in nature. Once his scanners had categorized everything in his environment, Zero was then capable of eliminating all threats to the peace, draining energy from electronic systems or outright obliterating weapons of war or warlike individuals.
