Zero is a recurring character in the Mega Man series. He appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Origin

A robot created by Dr. Wily, Zero was sealed away due to being uncontrollable and rebellious. A century later he was unearthed by the Reploid commander Sigma, but was still insane and dangerous. Before being subdued he infected Sigma with a virus that turned him Maverick. After his capture, Zero lost his psychotic nature and joined the Maverick Hunters, becoming a famous SA-ranked hunter who frequently helped out Mega Man X on many missions. Zero was seemingly killed twice in the line of duty (the first time during the Sigma War, the second during the Eurasia Crisis) but re-emerged alive and more powerful than ever (the first rebirth was where he gaiend his famous look from X2 onward, along with his Z-saber.) He would ultimately continue to assist X (and later on, rookie hunter Axl) on further missions.

Many years later, X and Zero took part in the Elf Wars, with Zero receiving a new body upon learning that his old one was the source of the rampant Maverick virus that needed to be dealt with. After the war's end, Zero was put in slumber, later awakening thanks to human scientist Ciel. Zero took up arms against an evil regime lead by a malevolent copy of X, and later gave his life to save human and Reploidkind from the evil Dr. Weil.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U

Zero appears as a Trophy exclusive to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and as a Mii Swordfighter DLC Costume for that game.
