Powers and abilities

It can grow its own intelligence by draining the energy from human brainwaves, thus becoming dependent upon them. While incinerating the victim, it would temporarily take on his or her personality traits. This extends control to their nervous systems via electric currents. Only its foe, the Hulk has proven unaffected by this ability.^[17] Zzzax's size and strength increases in direct quality for the electricity it needs to feed. It is also capable of hovering.
