Zed was a young, fit black man with a relatively slim build. 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]]'') black on a red background, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zed Vs. The Usual (comic story)|Zed Vs.

[[File:Zed and Ophelia in Zed Vs. The Backstory.png|thumb|left|Zed getting coffee from [[Ophelia the Barista|Ophelia]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zed Vs. The Backstory (comic story)|Zed Vs. 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”.

Irritated by rapidly-changing weather, Zed once called out to “[[Mother Nature (Universe Gemini)|Mother Nature]]”, only to be surprised when she actually materialised in front of him to chide him for blaming her unfairly.

On a later occasion, supervillainess [[Iniquity]] tried to goad Zed into a superpowered fight out of the blue, having randomly picked him as a superhero on whom to work off some built-up anger. He refused to fight her, however, because he found her impractically revealing outfit embarrassing. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zed Vs. Iniquity (comic story)|Zed Vs.

[[File:Zed Hudson destroys Otto.png|thumb|left|Zed destroys [[Otto Maton 3.47]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zed Vs. The Singularity (comic story)|Zed Vs. The Singularity]]'')]]Later, correctly suspecting that artificially-intelligent robot [[Otto Maton 3.47]] was up to no good, Zed engaged him in conversation about what life was like for a robot and casually mentioned “prepping for next year's A.I. uprising” as one of the things which Otto didn't have to worry about scheduling thanks to his programming doing it for him. Not spotting the trap, Otto corrected him by giving the correct date of the planned takeover instead, and Zed used his eyebeams to disintegrate him. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zed Vs.

Again engaged in hero business, he had to deal with the mutated, excitable giant dog [[Dogzilla]] on one of the many occasions it snuck into town. Overcome by the smell, however, he shirked his duties with regards to disposing of the beast's radioactive droppings. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zed Vs. Dogzilla (comic story)|Zed Vs. Dogzilla]]'') | |||
