Zazz is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. He is a Zeti and a member of the Deadly Six.
Appearance
Zazz is a very tall and very lanky Zeti, with very thin limbs and body structure. The upper half of his body appears to be vibrant pink, while his body from the waist down is pure black, ending in two-clawed feet with purple toes. A third much smaller claw appears to jut out from his heels. Zazz has a long tail that appears to be bent into a vague "Z" shape, similar to that of Knuckles the Echidna. Zazz has a row of small black spikes running down his back, from the base of his neck to the middle of his spine. Zazz's thin arms end in proportionately large five-fingered hands, each finger tipped with purple nails.
Zazz has an oblong head with a large gaping mouth, which is never closed. He has long, thin, sharp teeth and a long cyan tongue, which is almost always seen hanging out the side of his mouth. He has green irises with yellow sclera and black markings under each eye. On the top of his head, Zazz has a pair of horns that point outwards, colored in alternating rings of black and light purple. Between them is a mohawk of purple hair.
Zazz wears a pair of black wrist cuffs with gray spikes on them, and a matching spiked collar.
History
Past
At some point in the past, a man named Dr. Eggman invaded the Lost Hex with his many Badniks. He enslaved Zazz and the other members of the Deadly Six with an ancient relic. Soon, he was freed unwillingly by Sonic the Hedgehog and thus exacted his revenge with his team by taking control of Eggman's Badniks with their electromagnetic powers. The Deadly Six were later stopped by Sonic, relinquishing their control of the Badniks.[1]
The Last Minute
Zavok later assembled the entire team to inform them of Dr. Starline's offer to help handle Dr. Eggman's crisis on the world below and how they would immediately betray him, though Zazz did not pay much attention to him. Zeena initially showed dislike for the idea of going back to Eggman as it could very well be a trap. Zavok immediately snapped at this - scaring Zazz and Zomom in the process - saying that since they underestimated the doctor the first time, they were now well prepared. Zavok planned for them to punish Eggman for their humiliation, destroy Sonic for defeating them, and then destroy their world below.[2]
Soon enough, the Deadly Six were brought aboard Eggman's Faceship via Starline's Warp Topaz.[3] When Starline revealed the Cacophonous Conch in his possession, Zazz and Zeena attacked him, only to be stopped in their tracks when Starline blew into the Conch. With the Zeti seemingly immobilized, Starline walked up to Zazz and ordered him and his fellows to get back in line, unaware that the Conch's effects rapidly wore off after it was no longer being blown. As a result, Zazz was able to surprise Starline with a powerful headbutt, enabling Zeena to steal the Conch and give it to Zavok. With the threat of the Conch neutralized, the Deadly Six were free to take control of Eggman's technology, although they lost Metal Sonic when he followed Starline and Eggman through a portal opened by the former. Zazz expressed frustration at this, but Zavok told him that they needed to refocus their attention for now.
With the Faceship under their control, the Deadly Six discovered the Chaos Emeralds being used as its power source; they took six of the gems to empower themselves before all but Zavok set out into the world to take full command of the Zombot hordes. Zazz led his forces on a spree of destruction through the city, viciously ordering them to infect any survivors on sight.
