During an experiment called Project Z, Zero is an artificial lifeform created by Dr. X, from a fusion of Max's DNA and the cells of a Spore via advanced nanotechnology.

Afterwards, Zero escapes, transforms into a Spore Monster and went to attack the Stewart Mansion, trying to destroy Max. He fought against Mary and Void Queen and nearly defeated them, until Max transformed into Spiral and fights Zero. Spiral was gaining the upper hand and easily overpowers Zero, who retreats after getting his eye burned by Spiral's energy beam. After that battle, Zero was recaptured by Dr. X, placed in a capsule and gets launched into space. Moments later, Zero is still contained in the capsule, floating in the deep reaches of space, somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy. Eventually, a crew consisted of members of the Drox discovered the capsule and take it board their ship. As the opened the capsule, Zero had managed to revert to his human form as he proceeds to kill the Drox crew and destroys the spaceship. In the debris, Zero laughs manically.
