Invader Zim is the one who created Filler Bunny to keep the suspicious humans distracted and happy while he continues his plan of world domination.

== The hierarchy of being tall is an ''illusion''. ==
Line 30 ⟶ 33:
== The Earth has already been taken over. ==
It's been taken over by whatever faction Dib's father Professor Membrane belongs to (or is enslaved by). The military is subservient as well. Zim is tolerated because he has solved more problems than he has caused, and he is a diversion for Dib.
* Specifically, the mice from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy are the ones in control. This earth is actually the Second Earth, and most of the people are so painfully stupid because the creators of the artificial life either greatly underestimated human's intelligence or didn't quite have the technology to make them as intelligent as they originally were.
* Or it was taken over by [[Destroy All Humans!|the furons]], who abandoned the planet after getting enouh Furon DNA, which was well before 1979, and Zim landed in a location where most humans have non-functioning Furon DNA (the second game suggests that humans who's DNA is rendered useless are complete idiots). Membrane's family are among the exceptions.
== Zim is meant to force human evolution as much as conquer Earth. ==
Zim is the Tallest's tool for grooming humanity. The humans are both technologically advanced and predisposed to outrageous violence, but they are too immature (''aka'' stoopid) as a species. Hopefully, the humans develop and become aware of and defeat the ruinously self-sabotaging Zim; they will then be approached by the Tallest and be recruited into the Irken empire as [[The Dragon]] to the Irken [[Big Bad]]. But if they fail, and Zim
* ''Evolution does not work that way.''
** Biological evolution doesn't. Cultural and technological evolution ''does.''
Line 47 ⟶ 50:
Somewhere along the way, Zim winds up in a suit ''a la'' [[Star Wars|Darth Vader]], becoming Evil Emperor Zurg. GIR's brain is separated into parts to serve the entire Hornet army. This is why the Hornets appear mindless. They're all 1/100000th GIR.
* It also explains why they are less hyperactive.
** Then what happens to Professor Membrane, Dib's father? In [[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 2, Zurg tells the other Buzz Lightyear that Zurg is his Father (in an obvious [[Star Wars]] parody). Also, Zurg is a bit of a generic supervillan at times, while Professor Membrane is always too serious.
*** Zurg said the same thing in [[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]] to distract Buzz and gain the upper-hand in a battle, and then admits it's false.
** A portion of GIR's core program also ends up in XR, explaining why ''he's'' somewhat hyper and often speaks in non-sequitors.
== The entire series in [[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac|Squee's]] hallucination. ==
Regularly during ''Squee!'', the title character is seen drawing various things; one of the things he likes to draw is an alien that looks suspiciously like Zim. At the end of the series, Squee is placed in a mental institution to get rid of him for a while. As he is being strapped into an weird psychiatric chair, he sees Nny passing by the window. It is quite possible that this chair was meant to induce hallucinations for some horrible experiment; Squee seeing Nny would have kicked his fear response into overdrive. This explains why the world of ''Invader Zim'' is so [[Crapsack World|crappy]] - what do you expect the name of the most squeamish kid in the world to come up with?
It also explains why the aliens who abducted Zim were so [[Flanderization|flanderised]]. When they first appeared in ''Squee!'', they were somewhat menacing but still totally stupid. Squee only remembered their stupidity, and that became their defining trait when they came for Zim.
Line 63 ⟶ 66:
== Dib grows up to be [[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac]] ==
Ok, so it goes like this: While we pretty much know that IZ is set [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]], what we don't know is when exactly JTHM is set- IZ may well be its prequel. When you think about it, Dib's already got
* The beginning of insanity.
* The crappy childhood.
Line 89 ⟶ 92:
== Zim knows on some level that he has been exiled, and subconsciously doesn't want to conquer Earth. ==
If the Tallest don't like someone, then it doesn't matter if they are a successful Invader. A conquered Earth would lead to the Tallest being direct about it, just like they did to poor Skoodge. Thus, Zim keeps up his charade of conquest to prevent himself from facing the fact that his own species doesn't want him. Thus, he constantly puts GIR in charge of the crucial part of his plans.
* This also seems to explain why Zim stopped GIR from absorbing knowledge in the episode "GIR Goes Crazy And Stuff".
* This would also explain why, despite passing out in Zim's home at the end of ''Walk for Your Life'', Dib is still alive by the next episode. If Zim ''really'' 100% cared about his mission, he would have taken advantage of the moment and killed Dib before he could wake up.
Line 100 ⟶ 103:
== [[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac]] is dead ==
We mostly agree that Zim is set [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]] from his series, but Nny's lack of appearance is probably because he isn't around any more. If Squee is old enough to be Membrane, then it has to be several decades ahead, and let's face
* So...did he just leave the plane of existence or something?{{spoiler|He ended up being kicked out of both heaven and hell for some reason.}}
** ...yes. The world couldn't handle him.
Line 107 ⟶ 110:
Not a new theory, by any means, but still good.
GIR is actively STOPPING Zim from taking over Earth. GIR is often the reason Zim's plans go to
The episode "GIR Goes Crazy and Stuff" only helps this theory along. With enough power, GIR immediately attempts to overthrow his master. It's also noted that GIR often lets strangers into Zim's house, not because he's an idiot, but because he's trying to expose Zim to these random people.
* So... GIR is [[Pinky and The Brain|Pinky?]]
* GIR ''did'' successfully conquer the world in Zim's absence. It was the aforementioned unfinished episode "The Trial".
Line 126 ⟶ 129:
And that Universe she imagined was just because it was all in the videogames she played during the addiction. She got so addicted that she continues to play them even after rebuilding the Universe to look like such thing.
* Alternatively, Haruhi suffered some trauma (perhaps Kyon and the others died or otherwise became lost to her) causing her to resent the world. So the world became darker and more cynical because she didn't want people to be happy when she wasn't. It also explains her non reaction to knowing for a fact that aliens and such are real, given that she spent most of her life believing they were out there. It's just that without Kyon and the others she can't find the enthusiasm to get excited by it (Plus there's the fact that Zim is probably not the ideal example of intelligent life on other worlds she'd have liked to meet)
* ''Or'', both Dib ''and'' Gaz are manifestations of Haruhi. Gaz has her God-like powers and Dib has her enthusiasm of the paranormal.
* ''Or'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozc_zHWo9jk this].
** Please tell me that is actually being produced.
Line 133 ⟶ 136:
It's kinda weird that female Irkens have [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]. Maybe it's not a male-female thing; maybe it's just a common mutation in Irkens that make the eyelashes, curled antennae, and higher voices. In Irken grammar, there's a special set of pronouns for this mutation; when it's translated into English, it's translated into ''she,'' and normal Irkens are translated ''he.''
When your species is grown in vats, this can be sustained.
** Actually, I think this may or may not be cannon, as Jhonen stated that Irkens don't have reproductive organs. This probably implies that Irkens are asexual, and some Irkens are just more feminine or masculine than others. Like Digimon.
== Irkens Reproduce Orally. ==
Yes, it sounds odd but consider it for a moment. Irkens are shown to be made presently though technology (cloning most presumably) but before such technology came around they obviously had to reproduce biologically (unless Irkens were artificially created by some unknown third party as host for the PAK...but that is a speculation for another section). Jhonen said that Irkens don't have reproductive organs, and that is also shown in the show to be true. As a super-organ the squeedly spootch preforms all functions so therefore logically it is also responsible for reproduction, and via the mouth is the only access to the squeedly spootch (this may also explain why Irkens have unusually long tongues).
* So when Zim licks the screen in Door to Door we're basically getting a [[Face Full of Alien Wingwong]]?
== Irkens are genderless. ==
Line 150 ⟶ 153:
1) Through some weird mishap, Tak is the daughter of Tallest Purple, which is why they both have square purple eyes. (The beauty mark and lines on her mouth probably came from whomever the mother was.) Same thing with Zim and Tallest Red. Apparently, Zim takes after his mother.
* 1.5) The Tallests are brothers (they're probably twins); therefore, Zim and Tak are cousins.
2) Zim and Tak are brother and sister of the Tallests, who are brothers themselves. Making one [[Royally Screwed-Up]] family.
3) Irken are "hatched" from test tube pods. It's likely that they're randomly genetically engineered Irkens. But they may have been based on the DNA of Allmighty Tallest Red and Purple!
4) Quite possibly. There's another theory that Zim is the son of Tallest Spork and the brother of Invader Zee. This one seems to have spawned from the [[Other Wiki]].
** Hate to chop down your [[Epileptic Trees]] here, but don't all Irkens look [[Planet of Hats|pretty much alike]]? It's [http://www.theanimationblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/01_thenightmarebegins.jpg kind of hard] to tell them apart...
*** Some Irkens look more alike than others, yes, but note the distinct head/eye shapes.
*** Alike? [[Cast of Snowflakes|Every Irken in that shot looks different!]]
-Building on that...
== The Tallests are siblings, if not identical twins. ==
Without their armor, the only way you could tell them apart is by their eye color. As mentioned before, Irkens tend to look a lot alike by our standards, but these two are almost indistinguishable and happen to be ''exactly'' the same height in a society where height is everything. It would also explain why they're always seen together, bickering like teenagers but also maintaining an almost symbiotic malevolence and narcissism.
* This Troper agrees with this theory.
* Wait, this ISN'T already canon?
Line 186 ⟶ 189:
== Membrane is an Ex Mad Scientist. ==
Think about it...some times he does have manic bouts of laughter that are very evil genius esque
* Ex? The man has a santa-fighting mecha and a perpetual energy device.
== The Swollen Eyeball Network is a splinter group of [[
The original Torchwood has a goofy and devil-may-care attitude of their operation. The Swollen Eyeball became a group of their own due to its members being more serious and business-oriented in dealing with aliens.
Line 196 ⟶ 199:
== Zim and Dib each have one of the [[Discworld|Eight Great Spells]] in their heads, or some equivalent of it. ==
Magic was established as legitimate many times during season two. Dib could've unknowingly gotten an amazingly powerful spell stuck in his head looking through the Spell Drives, though I don't know how Zim would've ended up with one. In any case, it would be an easy explination for the [[Snap Back
== The people of earth are not as "stoopid" as they are portrayed ==
Line 221 ⟶ 224:
It's all a game created by two hyperactive young friends.
* [[Calvin and Hobbes]]?
* No, Wait, [[
* [[The Grim Adventures of Billy
* Digby "Dib" Edwards and Franklin "Zim" Zimmerman, two random, neighboring, probably-human inhabitants of the meta-reality of ''[[Invader Zim]]''?
== Dib and Gaz are a young [[The X
The sister that Mulder, aka Dib, thought he lost when he was young was actually Scully. When Gaz, aka Scully, proved to be a little too good at stopping Zim, Zim somehow, miraculously, managed to separate Gaz from her family, but since she is way too competent for him to outright kill her, he instead had her memories wiped and had her placed with another family. There are no human/alien hybrids, that's just the cover story so that Mulder doesn't accidentally make Scully remember her childhood, at which point she will easily trounce Zim and any other aliens on Earth.
* Considering Mulder's and Scully's relationship, this theory is [[Brother-Sister Incest|pure]] [[Squick]].
Line 233 ⟶ 236:
This troper found all the intense close-ups and emphasis on disgusting details of everyday objects very telling in that regard.
== The Irken are an offshoot race of the [[Warhammer
They're green, they base their hierarchy on height, their entire existence is based around assaulting other worlds, and when "INVASION!" flashes on the screen they practically go into a Waagh. Best bet: they evolved from a Mek's experiments to tamper down the Waagh-instincts a little (in that they can go five minutes without violence).
* Alternatively, it's the other way around. Since the series takes place long before the 41st millenium, it's possible that the Irkens were the original "Brain Boyz". True, most Irken technology is built by enslaved races like the Vortians, but chances are that they were able to cobble together enough ideas from stolen technology to make what they think is impressive war tech (read: loud explodey things that only work because they think it will work).
Line 243 ⟶ 246:
* Well, word of a [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/GuestStrips.html sick and delusional] god who was obviously joking, but that aside I've always thought Xykon was quite eerily similar in personality to the Tallests...
== The characters are at least indirectly implants from the characters of ''[[
Zim is Light, a [[Take Over the World|megalomaniac]] who is the "protagonist," Dib is L, the eccentric yet lovable detective "antagonist." GIR, Misa's implant, is the dumb sidekick who doesn't listen to the master. Mikami is...Minimoose, the later-added sidekick. Finally, the tallests are the shinigami. Not sure about Near or Mello, maybe one of them is Gaz. Tak is...C-Kira? Maybe BB?
* Check your dates; ''Death Note'' dates from 2003, ''Invader Zim'' from 2001. It's difficult to be an allusion or implant from something that doesn't yet exist. However, if one were to flip this theory...
** When I said "implant" I actually meant something more in universe, such as a "reincarnation" or possibly a purgatory of a [[Failure Is the Only Option]] [[Crapsack World]] as punishment for their general bad behavior in life. Although, that does make sense...
Line 268 ⟶ 271:
== Zim is autistic ==
Think about it for a little bit.
* Holy hell, that actually sorta makes sense. The loud, often unusual voice, the difficulty understanding other people's feelings, the obsessive fascination with very specific but often varying topics. ...Freaky. I think you just added a [[Character Development|whole new layer]] to Zim for me.
Damn. And all I use my deviantart account for is [[Troll Fic|troll fics.]]
Line 276 ⟶ 279:
* To this troper (who has Asperger's), Dib seems to have a lot of autistic traits. He has major difficulty with social interaction, a tendency to obsess, doesn't seem to realize when his own behavior is abnormal, also can be sort of loud, and has a somewhat black and white worldview. All of these behaviors are associated with mild autism or Asperger's.
* This troper (who has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder) agrees with the ADD theory. Zim most likely would have Attention Deficit ''Hyperactivity'' Disorder. Just think! He doesn't follow directions, is loud and is either very lazy or very energetic, drifts off topic, is competitive, hardly pays attention to what anyone's saying, doesn't think things through, won't listen to authority figures and hates to be told what to do, prefers something happening more often than not... he fits the bill perfectly. I don't think autism or Asperger's plays a huge part in this.
* This troper actually has high-functioning autism and occasionally acts like Zim or Dib on accident. I think it is perfectly valid to say that BOTH of them have Autism, or Zim having the Irken equivilent. It also explains why they think he's a defect: He would have different thought patterns than a normal Irken, which could be mistaken for PAK coding errors.
* This troper would like to point out that basically every human in existence has at least one autistic trait or tendancy, and that autism is a sliding scale on which diagnosed autists are only part... a few traits present does not make autism, nor does a few traits absent make neurotypical. Also, Asperger's is just a specific form of autism distinguishable only in childhood, by adulthood the two are identical and the genetic component in each is about the same, so the "rather than a human genetic disorder" argument really isn't valid.
Line 282 ⟶ 285:
* And, therefore, Gaz as well. After all, Dib looks just like a shorter version of Nny with a more consistent shirt design and more sanity.
** Going with this idea, one could theorize that Dib was cloned with more of the physical traits in mind, while Gaz was cloned with more of the mental traits in mind. For evidence, see Game Slave 2.
** Potential additional evidence. The episode where Dib gives Gaz pig senses. One of altered robot dolls looks a lot like Nail Bunny.
== Irkens can breed much like humans ==
They just don't know how, and if an Irken did figure it out, the chances of actually getting smeets out of it are slim-to none, which explains why they use the vats. Yes, this troper has been reading fanfics. How did you know?!
Line 319 ⟶ 322:
== GIR's disguise is that of a Mongoose Terrier. ==
These fierce, quick, but dull-headed beasts [[Time Travel Tense Trouble|will be]] bred
== Dib's spell cards were meant for Gaz. ==
Line 328 ⟶ 331:
== The Chihuahua and the squirrel are sentient alien species. ==
The squirrel looks like a squirrel, but consistently attracts GIR's attention and can kill a ten-year-old human with its bare paws and seemingly using no teeth. Madness looks (vaguely) like a chihuahua, but acts like a watcher and eventually a nonverbal [[Mysterious Informant]]. The squirrel wants the earth to itself, and Madness may work for the secret society that Dib joined. In addition, it's possible that [[Unreliable Narrator|GIR's narration was not unreliable]] on ''Mysterious Mysteries'' (aside from the squirrel eating Dib's crazy head), and the squirrel told GIR that it was going back to its home planet to fight [[Hero Antagonist|the bad guys]].
== The Chihuahua is related to [[Phineas and Ferb|Pinky Garcia-Shapiro]]. ==
Line 368 ⟶ 371:
[[Face Palm|His hair is fake and under that giant collar is a giant nose/moustache combo. Also, under the collar is a voice modulator, so that Robotnik and Membrane sound nothing alike. He looks to be about the same height as Robotnik, & although Robotnik appears to be much fatter, it's just a really obvious fat suit (look at his mid-section in proportion to his arm & legs and then tell me I'm wrong). Also, Membrane is an amazing engineer, as is Robotnik.]]
** What does this make the other characters?
*** Nothing. If he wanted to have a secret alter ego, then why would he hang around with his enemies?
**** No, what I mean is, due to being in the same universe, what does this make various characters in the Sonic universe? Does this change things for thier history/origin? Is the part of America the Membrane family living in part of the "Eggman Empire" (Heavy pollution, advanced technology, Crapsack, etc.)?
***** Uh, sure, let's go with that.
Line 376 ⟶ 379:
Initially, when Dib sees the Moose, his mind [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form|is incapable of comprehending it]] as anything other than an ordinary moose. The walnuts caused him to see it's true form. This is not shown, for the viewer's sanity.
== This is in the same world as [[Mystery Science
* Takes place in the near future.
* The protagonist is a [[Genius Ditz]].
Line 399 ⟶ 402:
* He seems to have great physical prowess, and ''maybe'' the power of [[Hollywood Hacking]].
== Mr.Dwicky is Squee. ==
== Irken hierarchy is based on age, not height. ==
Irkens grow continuously throughout their lives, so their height corresponds directly to their age. Taller/older irkens automatically outrank others due to their(in theory) greater experience and wisdom. Red and Purple are ancient, decrepit irkens, hence their emaciated builds. Their rampant stupidity can either be attributed to senility, or...the fact that it's [[Invader Zim]].
* In "The Trial" Zim and Red/Purple are the same age.
* That, and the fact that you don't get a name like The Almighty Tallest for being older than everyone else.
== That guy '''was''' haunting the fork ==
Line 414 ⟶ 417:
== [[Chew Toy|Skoodge]] will conquer the universe. ==
Sure, he seems cute, but Skoodge is dangerous. Like other Irkens, he has no moral qualms about conquering planets, but unlike other Irkens, he's ''good'' at it. Not only was he the first invader to succeed in conquering a planet, it was the home of the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|slaughtering rat people!]] Then he survives getting shot out of a huge cannon, shows up without his PAK, and momentarily manages to escape from the hogulus. Clearly, Skoodge is a force to be reckoned with. When he figures out that the Tallests really don't value him at all, things will get interesting.
* [[Affably Evil|And I for one]] [[The Simpsons (animation)|welcome our Irken overlords.]]
== Dib and Gaz's mother is Tallest Miyuki ==
Line 422 ⟶ 425:
== Invader Zim is set in a [[Nineteen Eighty-Four|1984]] society ==
There are cameras everywhere and everyone is in a state of perpetual stupidity. Ms. Bitters and Prof. Membrane are probably part of the Inner Party and the Swollen Eyeball Network is the resistence (if such a thing actually existed). The only reason Zim hasn't been taken in is because there is no rule for such an occurence as an alien invasion.
** At least the skool system is in this state. Voting of the Doomed pretty much confirmed it. Also, like 1984, nearly all the food that appears is vomit-inducing.
Line 452 ⟶ 455:
He's got an entire dimension to contain in there! If he got shot in the forehead, a monster would just crawl out and maul the shooter.
== The characters are in a [[Higurashi no Naku Koro
Based on the above theory that the show is shown in [[Anachronic Order]], where Zim was discovered out of his disguise in ''Attack of the Saucer Morons'', thus making it the series finale.
Well, not really. Some entity out there keeps hitting the [[Reset Button]] whenever something really bad happens. Usually that "really bad thing" is either Zim or Dib dieing. It happened twice; the first time was ''Attack of the Saucer Morons'' (where Zim was discovered and dissected off screen) and the other being ''Walk for Your Lives'' (Where Dib didn't fall unconscious, he actually died). Either there are two of them- one helping Zim and one helping Dib, or just one that resets things [[For the Evulz|because he/she/it finds it hilarious to watch them fail.]]
Line 470 ⟶ 473:
* It's implied in that episode that the wormhole leads directly to the inside of the moose's mouth; if the moose is enormous, it could even swallow the bus whole.
** When is that implied?
*** By the fact that we don't see the moose pick up the walnuts, but just chewing them.
**** Uhh, I always thought Room With A Moose was a [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] moment. C'mon, a moose CHEWING on NUTS? Dib's a guy? Anyone?
Line 479 ⟶ 482:
== The Principal of the Skool is worse than Ms. Bitters and is the only one she fears ==
This is a possible explanation for Miss Bitters's submission in an argument with him,and the hellish fire that is shown when the phone goes back into the desk.
== Dib and Gaz were created to be [[Brains and Brawn]] ==
Dib was created/cloned by Prof.Membrane to be the smartest being on the planet, and Gaz was cloned to be the strongest. But once Dib got old enough all he talked about was ghosts, and bigfoot, and an evil alien at school. Membrane thought he had failed with Dib and succeeded with Gaz. But, he had actually succeeded with both.
Line 510 ⟶ 513:
== The timeline of the series is actually in between the events of the [[Pixar]] movies Up and Wall-E. ==
Think about it. What exactly caused that vacant lot that Zim found in "The Nightmare Begins?" Not to mention the world of Invader Zim's timeline was probably half-polluted, causing the red sky and Zim's reaction to polluted water - meaning all water! Wall-E takes place when future humans of the Invader Zim world realize they've really screwed up with all the pollution. The incredible technology in Wall-E was all made by Professor Membrane, funded by Buy-N-Large!
* Would Eve be a more advanced S.I.R unit, then? Technology stolen from the Irkens and used by the humans. She does have a "glitch" that allows her to have a personality. Or maybe Wall-E himself would be.
Line 520 ⟶ 523:
== Zim's "defect" is the ability to love and genuinely care about others. ==
Zim is shown to have the ability to love in the episode "Parent Teacher Night" during a flashback to the scene of his "Birth". His first words were "I love you, cold unfeeling robot arm!" He is later shown to be a defect in the unreleased episode "The Trial". In addition, he is shown to care about Dib in the unreleased episode "Mopiness of Doom". Caring about ones enemies is definately a defect in an invasive species like the Irkens, so he hid this from everyone and tried to make up for it by destroying stuff. It didn't work.
* This is pretty much Fanon, even thought I don't remeber them actually SAYING Irkens don't feel.
** You're to decide yourself whether or not this theory has been Jossed, but we see Skoodge visibly ''crying'' in the very first episode, a clear sign of emotion. However, Skoodge is just as much as an outcast as Zim and ''not'' a good canidate for what the "normal" Irken soldier would be, so... [[Fridge Brilliance|maybe...]]
Line 533 ⟶ 536:
He didn't survive... for long.
== ''[[Invader Zim]]'' takes place in the same world as ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro
Everybody is crazy, and they're all REALLY scary when angry. Really, it would've been just as violent if Nick wasn't so overprotective.
Line 542 ⟶ 545:
== Zim really is a normal, human kid ==
Dib's just been tormenting him for so long with accusations of being an alien that he's formed a fantasy about it being true (thus caving to Dib's constant needling while also giving himself an imaginary escape from his stressful life). All the Irken scenes are imagined by Zim or are exaggerations of mundane events; he is so isolated from his own parents that he has incorporated them into his fantasy as well, and Gir is actually just a toy.
In the first episode, Zim is simply returning to school after the summer (starting the school year late because of a stress-induced illness). The big allusion to this is when Zim says "Dib's always saying stuff; I remember that one time..." because he actually has known Dib for at least the past couple
It turns out the whole series was very Calvin & Hobbes-inspired.
* Alternatively...
Line 555 ⟶ 558:
== The world could use a good physiatrist ==
Any physiatrist can see a case of self denial on Zim's case and severe issues with Dib and Gaz if the did have a mom she most likley died not long before The Nightmare begins.
== Nickelodeon will bring the show back, as in making new seasons ==
In the [[Nicktoons Unite!]] games, they tend to only have characters from shows where new episodes are being made for them (well... the playable ones anyway). Zim is playable in 'Globs of Doom', and in the upcoming Nicktoons MLB. Considering that he's the only playable character from a show that wasn't still airing new episodes at least three years ago.....
== Professor Membrane is a AU [[The Spoony Experiment
He does stuff [[For Science!]], has goggles/glasses/whatever, and is morally ambigous(yeah, I know Insano is evil, but he's more [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villian]] than actual evil). Not to mention that he's a [[Large Ham]]. And admit it, this would be awesome.
Line 567 ⟶ 570:
== Keef is a human/irken hybrid. ==
When Zim puts Keef and two other kids through dangerous tasks that a normal human wouldn't endure, Keef is the most resistant. This is because these are all factors Zim would look for in one of his own kind.He also demonstrates some amazing climbing abilities, and apparently regenerates his eyes after Zim removes them. One possible explanation is that long ago, the Tallest banished an Irken to earth much like what they would later do to Zim. This agent eventually decided to abandon his mission, got married, and Keef was born. The reason Keef admires Zim so much is because he senses the two are somewhat alike.
