Invader Zib

"Nobody cared, they still didn't believe me."

Invader Zib is the villainous Alternate Universe version of Dib Membrane within the *Invader Zim Comics*.

He became the ruler of the Zimvoid after he defeated Zim and took over his timeline.

## Backstory

In the Invader Zim Comics, Dib manages to defeat Zim (although through unknown means), yet nobody cared, as they still didn't believe him. In an act of revenge, he reverse-engineered Irken tech to take over Earth himself, justifying the act by saying that the Irkens would've invaded it if he hadn't. He attached Zim's Irken PAK onto himself and repurposed Zim's home as his lab. He used Earth's resources to create an Anti-Irken weapon that was capable of destroying an entire universe and ridding it of all Irken life forms.

This ended up backfiring horribly for Dib, as it destroyed everyone and everything in his timeline, only leaving a small chunk of earth that his castle stands upon, and tearing open portals throughout the multiverse. Dib, in an effort to salvage his plans, decides to send in a distress signal through the portals, tricking the Zims on the other side of it to enter his timeline. He uses a robotic disguise and names himself "Zim Number 1", and establishes a society built upon the slavery of the Zims who entered the portals in their respective timelines, as he dubs this place as the "Zimvoid".

Everything changed when the Dib from the main Invader Zim Timeline showed up. He reveals himself as a different version of Dib from another timeline. He lies about defeating the Irkens of his timeline, and gaining respect throughout his universe. GIR instinctively calls the Zimvoid Dib “Zib,” thus granting his nickname. Dib is astonished by Zib, although Zib sees Dib as a lesser version of himself for not defeating his Zim.

Eventually, Dib finds out about the truth, and is in shock that Zib's goal is to repeat his mistakes throughout the Multiverse. Zib again justifies it by saying that there are infinite timelines, and losing a few isn't going to do much in the grand scheme of things.

Zib is defeated when the Zims of the Zimvoid revolt. They destroy him and his mech, escape his grasp by taking his upgraded Voot Runners, and close all of the portals. Zib stands alone, demanding from himself to not be left all alone, but yet he is. All that remains is the ruins of his castle, as he ponders how he got into this mess. He's saved by Yellow Steven, and is taken into The Bad End Friends.

## Profile

### Appearance

Zib has a similar appearance to Dib, wearing the same black trench coat. He is sometimes portrayed as having a red innard within it instead of light grey. He also wears a dark-blue shirt depicting a light-blue cartoon ghost with x's for eyes, black/grey pants, a pair of circular glasses with the right lens slightly cracked, and black/velvet boots. Zim's Irken PAK is fused to the back of his head, with 4 extendable claws inside of it.

His head shows visible veins coming from the Irken PAK, and he's lost some of his facial features such as his nose and ears, and his teeth have become sharp and jagged. His skin has a more green-ish tint to it, whilst his hair now has two scythes in his hair, mimicking an Irken’s antennae. His nails are also occasionally portrayed to be sharp.

### Personality

Zib was originally petty, selfish, and psychopathic, with all of it diriving from the fact that nobody believed him. After he was abandoned in the ruins of his castle and saved by The Bad End Friends, he's become more calm, and is willing to cooperate, acting as "Mission Control,” or "The Guy In the Chair.” Although he's moved on from his defeat, he's still looking for new ways to destroy all Irken life forms, and still shows some signs of being the selfish ruler he once was, albeit toned down.

* Zib shows signs of Monophobia (A morbid dread of being alone) or Autophobia (An irrational anxiety that develops when a person fears they may end up alone), after the events that took place within the comics.
