### Opponent

*The realization that all mortals should be destroyed. The one and only mistake among all divine creations. **That** is what mortals are. And this mistake is egregious. To shape existence into the beautiful utopia it was always meant to be, the mistake must be corrected. I will purge all mortals from existence. In place of the gods **WHO REFUSE TO ADMIT FAILURE**!*
—Goku Black
**Zamasu**, also known as **Goku Black**, is one of the main antagonists of the *Dragon Ball* series. He appeared in the 41st episode and Season 2 Finale of DBX, Goku Black VS Black Adam, where he fought against Black Adam from *DC Comics*.

## History

Zamasu was originally an assistant to the Supreme Kai of Universe 10, Gowasu. However, Zamasu had a continuous distrust of mortals and a growing dismay of the Kais' passive and indirect influence of the universe's development, he ultimately rejected his teachings and went rogue, developing his plan, Project Zero Mortals. To which, his ultimate goal became to annihilate all mortals and gods in a specific timeline, then build up from there, to purge all mortals and gods from all of existence with it, making the multiverse in his perspective a "beautiful utopia", rid of the mortals who ruin it and the gods who do nothing to stop them. To accomplish this, Zamasu slayed his master, stole his Time Ring, then used the Super Dragon Balls of his universe to take over the body of Son Goku, whose strength he viewed was starting to surpass even that of the gods themselves. Upon his wish being granted, he set out to unleash divine judgment upon all mortals in his universe and beyond, and under a new name: "Goku Black".
