Zavok
"Leader of the Deadly Six."
He studied under the legendary martial artist Master Zik, who had mastered all forms of combat, and is known as the strongest warrior among the Zeti, a race of ogre-like beings. Even Master Zik acknowledges his combat prowess.
He has a deep love for battle, but unlike Zazz, his desire stems from a thirst for strength—he seeks out those stronger than himself so he can defeat them.
Additionally, he is highly calm, intelligent, and sharp-minded. While he can be somewhat forceful at times, his instructions are always precise, earning him the respect of all members of the Deadly Six as their leader.
He treats his martial arts master, Master Zik, with great respect and always speaks to him in a polite and formal manner.
Zazz
"The battle maniac of the Deadly Six."
Among the Deadly Six, he is by far the most fond of violence. He loves fighting so much that when an unknown enemy appears, his instinct is to leap into battle before even trying to understand who or what he's up against. When forced to hold back due to planning or preparation, he becomes irritable and restless.
Despite being a battle maniac, Zazz is open-hearted toward the other members of the Deadly Six and listens to what they say. He especially acknowledges Zavok and Master Zik as superior to himself, pledging loyalty to them. He’s mindful of his words and actions around them and shows at least a basic level of respect and decorum.
Zor
"The Intelligence Operative of the Deadly Six."
With a combination of agility and small stature, he excels in intelligence gathering, earning recognition for his undeniable skill.
He deeply admires Master Zik in his younger days as a legendary martial artist and believes himself to be just as strong and cool as the young Zik once was. This excessive admiration, self-delusion, and narcissism often lead him to make bizarre statements, which frequently leave his comrades exasperated.
However, this intense self-belief sometimes allows him to display strength beyond his actual abilities, making him an unsettling and unpredictable presence.
Zomom
"The Sabotage Specialist of the Deadly Six."
Among the Zeti, he is infamous for his gluttonous appetite. He absolutely loves eating and feels uneasy if he isn't constantly consuming something. He has no concept of food preferences—his only distinction is between "things that can be eaten" and "things that cannot be eaten." However, this judgment is entirely based on his personal "bite test"—if he takes a bite and decides it's edible, then, to him, it's food.
In battle, he utilizes his massive body to full effect, possessing enough brute strength to obliterate everything in his path as he moves forward.
Zeena
"The Information Manager of the Deadly Six and Zavok's Personal Secretary."
She has a cold and composed personality, embodying the traits of a true businesswoman who strictly separates work from her personal life. While she is highly efficient and cool-headed, always carrying out her assigned missions with precision, she despises having her private time disturbed. Her commitment to this boundary is so strong that she won’t tolerate interruptions—even from fellow members of the Deadly Six.
She has numerous hobbies, including "nail art," "traveling," and "shopping," but lately, she has been especially obsessed with nail art.
Master Zik
"Advisor of the Deadly Six."
In his younger days, he mastered all forms of martial arts and even developed his own unique fighting style by combining them with his innate psychokinetic abilities. He was once hailed as the strongest warrior of the Zeti tribe, becoming a legendary figure.
However, as he aged, both his physical strength and psychokinetic abilities gradually declined, leading him to retire from active combat. Now, he lives a secluded life while training disciples.
Among his disciples, Zavok is his particular favorite, believing that he may be an exceptional talent surpassing even his younger self.

I mean, Sega thought these Mario villain rip-offs are awesome and asked IDW to include these characters in the middle of the Metal Virus arc for some reason.
Any reason why Sega bring the Zetis back?
