Ultimate Zero is technically numbered #000, which is a bit of that Tech Deck brand of humor. To more conveniently document all TDD, we are going to call him #165.
He is basically a parody of the Marvel character called the Forbush Man, with a bit of Captain Underpants thrown in too.
Like The Tick, the Forbush Man is an absurdist take on the idea of superheroes. I am sure the TDD designers got a kick out of making spoofs of spoofs.
Ultimate Zero came out in 2009 in the very last series of Tech Deck Dudes ever sold.
However, he had previously made an appearance at San Diego Comic Con in 2007 as a promotional figure. The two figures have the exact same paint job (though it stands to reason that the promo figure has magnetic feet).
The box-art for the SDCC figure reveals that Shadow is the arch-nemesis of Ultimate Zero.
