ZCorp Cableman

ZCorp Cableman is a ZCorp Zombie in Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 8.8.1 update, who only appears in Penny's Pursuit levels. He drops down from the sky in a similar matter to Lost Pilot Zombies and wraps an electric cable around any plant that is below him, causing the plant to be stuck. He then drops down and proceeds towards the player's house. ZCorp Cableman has a variety of attacks:
*Electric Cables - ZCorp Cableman can stretch his cables at far away plants and wrap them up in the wires. Shocking sounds and glows will be activated, and the cables will retract, showing that the plant has been electrified and replaced with a scorched tile.
*Exploding Laptop - When his health gets to 50%, he'll throw his laptop across the lawn, exploding plants in a 3x3 area. The laptop will also electrocute some zombies within that area.
*Hacking - If he still has his laptop, ZCorp Cableman will use it to make two random tiles on the lawn glow green with 1s and 0s, causing any plant on those tiles to be destroyed and to spawn a random ZCorp Zombie in their place.

==Overview==
ZCorp Cableman absorbs 1200 damage per shot and his appearance changes upon absorbing 200, 400, 600 (when the laptop is thrown), and 800 (when his arm is lost) before dying at 2500 damage per shot. After throwing his laptop, his attacks and speed gain a x2 boost.
While hanging, ZCorp Cableman will explode when killed, dealing 850 damage to nearby zombies.
==Strategies ==
Zcorp Cableman can be a large threat to your defenses if left alive. Taking him out should be your first priority. Try using instant-kill plants such as Cherry Bomb or Primal Potato Mine, as that will cancel his Exploding Laptop ability. He is particulary dangerous when behind Brickheads or any other tough enemies, as they will soak up damage and allow Zcorp Cableman to use his abilities.

==Trivia==
*ZCorp Cableman was originally released in the 8.7.1 update as ZCorp HelpDesk, but he was replaced due to receiving backlash from fans due to his unoriginality.
*When he throws his cable across the lawn, he firstly twirls it around like a lasso.
*Using Blover while he's in his first stage will cause him to skip the first cable wrapping if the player is fast enough.
*ZCorp Cableman will sometimes spin a cable around destroying plants in a 3x3 area, similar to MCZomB.
