Dib Membrane

ℹ️️**Notice**This character is **not a canon character in Glad you Came**. It is from an entirely different series and is known as a **crossover character**

**Dib Membrane** is the tritagonist as well as the anti-villainous main antagonist of the 2001-2006 television series *Invader Zim*, and the main protagonist of the 2019 Netflix film *Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus*.

He is an eccentric young boy who is obsessed with the paranormal. He's the older brother of Gaz Membrane and son of Professor Membrane. Self-proclaimed "defender of Earth", he attends skool with Zim and is determined to stop him from conquering Earth or expose him as an alien, though almost nobody believes him. He is highly unpopular at school and at home for his said obsession with the paranormal, and is often dismissed as "crazy" or "insane". Despite being a foil to Zim, he's frequently shown acting in selfish, self-centered ways.

## Personality

***Information from the Invader Zim wiki***

Dib is separated from the rest of his peers by his exceptional intelligence and determination. Also, Dib continues to seek out the paranormal despite the considerable ridicule he receives from both peers and family.

He considers himself to be the sole defender of Earth against Zim's plans of conquest, and rightly so; he's in fact the only one who knows (or cares) that Zim is an Irken Invader bent on world destruction.

When Zim first landed on Earth, Dib was initially shown to be more antagonistic, obsessed, and desperate, making it his sole goal in life to expose Zim as an alien by any means necessary.

However, he eventually realized that any efforts to reveal Zim would be wasted on his oblivious and mean spirited peers, and Dib eventually lost his obsessive, desperate edge, becoming a more humorous, depressive and more sympathetic character overall. His hatred of Zim eventually becomes real as the Irken takes every opportunity to make his existence even more miserable than it already it is even when unprovoked, making Dib's efforts to beat Zim all the more personal.

Dib shares his father's scientific and technological prowess, with skills that far exceed the average human being. He has been known to created advanced technology entirely from scratch (for example, an advanced water balloon-launching apparatus).

These skills aren't limited to just Earth-based technology, either. Dib has on multiple occasions proven a keen understanding of Irken technology as well, whether it be hacking into Zim's base, reverse-engineering a rogue Invader's crashed vessel, or remotely flying the Irken flagship itself.

## Abilities

Dib Membrane is an extremely intelligent boy. He shares his father's scientific and technological prowess and is even shown to be slightly more intelligent than him, being the only one to see through Zim's (terrible) disguise. He has the ability to build advanced technology just from scratch. He has also been known to use and control Irken technology such as hacking into Zim's base, utilizing Tak's Ship, and controlling the Massive.

Dib is also very agile and is a very fast runner, as he was able to catch up to Zim (who is also very agile) in *Enter the Florpus*. He has been shown to use his scythe-like hair as runners on zip-lines)

Dib also possesses super human strength, as seen in ''Enter the Florpus'', when Dib smashes through a stone wall with ease. He also has super human durability, also shown in *Enter the Florpus*, when Dib gets exploded by Zim's robotic leprechaun cat, then slapped and dogpiled on by Zim's robot minions, and comes out of that relatively fine.

In the episode "Dib's Wonderful Life of Doom" **,** Dib seemingly receives powers from the Meekrob to help him take down the Irken Empire. He is shown to be able to shoot bio-electricity from his hands, as well as having flight, telekinesis, super speed and agility, and the ability to jump several feet into the air. He is also shown to be able to breathe without oxygen. However, since most of the events in the episode were revealed to have taken place in a simulation, Dib never actually received any of these powers.

He is also shown to have a strong sense of knowledge of the supernatural. In "Mortos der Soulstealer", Dib was able to summon Mortos from the underworld, in "Gaz, Taster of Pork", he cast a spell on Gaz that made everything she ate taste like pork, and in "Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars", Professor Membrane mentions Dib summoning the walking dead at one point.
