Backstory
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. Although the tests were successful, there was a malfunction process with the machine as the nanites corrupted his mind, causing him to mutate into an avian-like creature, making him too dangerous and unstable. Zero began killing the other experiments except Zax as Dr. X use a weapon to destroy his evolved form and reverted him into a Spore. Afterwards. Dr. X placed Zero in a capsule and launch him into space.

In the post credit scene, Zero appears in his Spore form, 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 jumps out, merges with a Drox exosuit, and evolves into a new form as he proceeds to kill the Drox crew and destroys the spaceship. In the debris, Zero gazes at his new form and laughs manically.

Afterwards, Zero was flying in space and discovers an abandoned alien vessel with advanced technology and use his technopathic powers to gain control of it as well as building himself a massive army of powerful robots called Zerodroids.
