Zane

Not much is known about Zane. He is a time traveler, who seems to only care about causing distortions in time, and messing up the past and future for some unknown reason. He has a grudge with the World Savers, more than likely possible to a previous encounter he had with them. He seems to have no true emotion, as he only cares about destruction, and nothing else. The group has encountered him only a few times to date, but he has encountered them countless times. He was also the reason for the great war in Eric Nightingale's time, where he came as a conqueror. It is rumored that he is merely a robot with programmed emotions and had a personality added as well to match his goals, but no one knows for sure. When attacked, he has had entire limbs cut off, and wires are found inside, but no bones or blood, which leads to the fact that he is only a metal shell. Whatever he truly is, he treats his goal of messing up time like a game, and gets joy off of seeing what his actions bring about, which seems to be the only driving force. No one knows if he has ever been defeated, but he has pulled out of a losing fight with the group before. He is consistently hunted down by the Shadow Rider, as it is his mission to keep fate and free will in check, which Zane disrupts constantly. Zane also seems to have some connection with the computer virus AI known as X.A.N.A., as his robot servants seem to be upgraded versions of his old robots, but aside from that, no one is sure but the Shadow Rider.

Zane is often seen with his two assistants, Shroud, a warrior from another possible future, saved from a dying world before he never came to be and what is known as Project William, but Zane simply refers to him as William. He seems to be a simple battle program AI that has a generated human form that disappears when defeated.

Zane is a skilled metal monster. He normally is seen in his power suit, or robot body, that is made of a highly durable metal that resists both attacks an powers. He tends to keep strictly to electric attacks, and the color of the electricity seems to determine the effects. He seems above master level, but no one is sure. He also can use raw energy, Ion Energy, developed by Eric, and rockets and missiles, as well as other means of attack. In human-like forms, he seems to be somewhat well with a blade or any weapon, but still sticks to electricity, seeming to be a Lightning Human in this form. All forms are quick, strong, and also able to seemly fly, and summon robot creatures from anywhere. Wherever Zane goes, be prepared for an army.
