ZIM

"Dumb like a moose Dib. DUMB LIKE A MOOSE."



Zim is the main protagonist from the series, Invader Zim, on Nickelodeon.

Origin
Zim is an alien from Planet Irk who was not well-respected, due to his small stature. He lost all trust from his fellow invaders when he botched an invasion mission, and wound up destroying a part of Irk. Hoping to get rid of him, his superiors sent him away with a defected robot that dubbed itself Gir to a secluded area of space on a fake invasion mission, hoping he would never find his way back. Unfortunately, Zim found Earth and thought it was his mission to conquer it. Throughout the series Zim tries many roundabout ways of taking over the Earth. But he has to wear a human costume with contacts and a wig, which all but Dib fall for. The series follows his odd antics, from stuffing himself with human organs to avoid being revealed to the school nurse or getting a job at a fast food company.



Goals and Ambitions
Zim wants nothing more than to take over Earth, and impress his superiors. It was originally intended that he take over Earth and become the Tallest, but the series was canceled before that could happen. Creator Jhonen Vasquez stated that Zim (and the 3 other main characters) aren't actually evil.
