Zero (Stitch!)

Experiment 000, or simply Zero, is an illegal genetic experiment created by Jumba Jookiba and his earliest experiment before he began working with Hämsterviel and numbering his genetic creations. He is designed to be an ultimate killing monster and has enhanced his body with cybernetics at some point after escaping imprisonment. He appears as a minor antagonist in the second season of the Stitch! anime.
==Background==
===Physical appearance===
Experiment 000's resemblance was close to a purple version of Stitch. Originally 100% organic, Experiment 000 is now a cyborg, part machine, part alien. His organic body is now black while the rest is mostly metal alloys and reinforced plastic. His form resembles a cross between a type of lizard and koala (and robot). He has a two cyborg arms, three spider-like legs, and half-helmet with a cyclonic-like right eye from some unknown incident. His cyborg arms serve many purposes, such as cybernetic wiry rope, laser guns, a forked harpoon and welding tool, and his cyborg eye has zoom functions and improves his aim. In cyborg form, he is missing his nose.
===Powers and abilities===
In his original form, Experiment 000 has all the powers of Stitch. In his cyborg form, his cyborg arms serve many purposes, such as cybernetic wiry rope, laser guns, a forked harpoon and welding tool, and his cyborg eye has zoom functions and improves his aim. He can manufacture many weapons, such as android minions, spaceships, and a doomsday device (supernova warhead).
==Appearances==
===Stitch!===
He was the first experiment created before Jumba started assigning numbers to his experiments, though Jumba later refers to him as "Experiment Zero" in his eponymous debut. Jumba was attempting to create the ultimate killer monster, and he was successful. However, his success also resulted in him being unable to control the experiment. Eventually, Jumba was forced to suspended Experiment 000's cell activity and imprison him on an icy planet. Experiment 000 was eventually able to escape and acquired mechanical body parts, making him even more powerful, and became a ruthless warlord with a cyborg army in the galaxy. When Experiment 000 targets Hanpipi Nebula, the Grand Councilwoman contacts Stitch to help defeat him. Experiment 000 puts up a fight at first, but he was eventually defeated and captured by Stitch. Once restrained, Experiment 000 reveals he has a supernova warhead and then initiates its launch toward the Grand Council's headquarters on Planet Turo, threatening the entire galaxy. Stitch was able to redirect the warhead into a black hole forming nearby, saving everyone. It is unknown where Experiment 000 was taken after his defeat.
==Trivia==
*Zero is the first experiment to be created by Jumba before he began working with Hämsterviel and numbering his genetic experiments, so he is classified as Experiment 000. He is referred to as "Experiment Zero" instead of "Experiment Zero-Zero-Zero", given that the number is a single digit rather than a whole three-digit.
*There is a misconception that Experiment 000 is named "Cyber". This moniker was never the experiment's actual name in any official Lilo & Stitch media. It is likely that fans came up with a unique moniker for him before it was made clear that he was never given a name by Disney.
*Zero is similar to Dark End but not different from 627 and Leroy, as while the latter pair were unable to be rehabilitated, the former pair were never mentioned to be able to be rehabilitated. Regardless, Zero and Dark End most likely would be unable to reform, as Zero proved to be uncontrollable after being created, while Dark End is loyal to Delia.
**Like 627 and Leroy, Zero and Dark End also serve as dark versions of Stitch, with Zero being too difficult to control where he disregarded the notion of family, Dark End having a low opinion on family and friends, and both 627 and Leroy being extremely cruel and destructive monsters that cannot be rehabilitated. 627, Leroy, Zero, and Dark End all serve as what Stitch would have become if he had never met Lilo and her ʻohana and been introduced to the meaning of family.
*Due to being imprisoned on an icy planet for countless years, Zero didn't know that there were experiments created after him, as he was surprised to see Stitch and asked him who he is.
*Zero (in cyborg form), Shrink, Pix, and Thresher are the only known experiments whose legs resemble a tripod.
*He is one of the few experiments that are actually villains, along with Chopsuey, 627, Leroy and his clones, and Dark End, while all the other experiments were following their primary function.
