He was clean-shaven, his short hair trimmed in an undercut, and had pierced ears, wearing small, round, dark-purple earrings. Since he was emphatically not a conventional costumed superhero, his outfits varied, but usually included a T-shirt with a large “Z” insignia, for example in white on a dark blue background ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zed Vs. The Backstory (comic story)|Zed Vs. The Backstory]]'') or black on a red background. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zed Vs. The Usual (comic story)|Zed Vs. The Usual]]'') | ||

The Backstory]]'')]]Zed was the son of superhero [[Hardcore]], who “fell in the line of duty”. One of a number of superpowered half-siblings, he was unique in not sharing their motivation to carry on their father's legacy of superheroics. This drew the disdain of [[Kid Hardcore]], Hardcore's one ''legitimate'' son, who referred to Zed as a “little punk”, even though Kid Hardcore also resented his other half-siblings' attempts to claim his father's legacy instead of leaving him as the only rightful heir. As a young man, Zed preferred quiet life whose greatest concern was getting his daily coffee from [[Ophelia the Barista]] to high-flying adventure. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zed Vs.

One day, Zed stumbled into the coffee shop, barely standing, and claiming that his superpowers were fading and quickly ingesting some caffeine was his last chance. Unimpressed, Ophelia quietly served him his cup and asked him why he couldn't just ask for “the usual” like everyone else, with Zed cheerfully dropping the act to tell her that “the coffee deserve[d] better” than “normality”.
