Summary
The Irken Invader Zim is the protagonist in his eponymous series. He's an alien whose actions usually led to disaster, resulting in his superiors, the Almighty Tallest, sending him on a “Secret Mission” to Earth. Zim's primary desire is to conquer the planet and impress his superiors, though his clumsiness makes this an almost impossible job. Zim is an extraordinary genius more than capable of conquering Earth, but hardly uses his skills properly as when he's close to taking over the planet, his own negligence frequently causes his downfall.
Zim is assisted by his enthusiastic robot GIR and opposed by his nemesis Dib, who wants to expose Zim to the world as an alien. It's suggested that Zim and Dib's rivalry gives them both some form of motivation in their jobs.

- PAK - The PAK is a backpack-like device that is grafted to the spine of every Irken upon their hatching. Serving as a secondary brain, the PAK contains all of an Irken's personality and statistics. It's never revealed what PAK stands for, or if it stands for anything at all other than a variation on "pack".
- Optional Equipment:
- Voot Runner - The Voot Runner, known also as the Voot Cruiser, is the most out-of-date known Irken vehicle. This is a spacecraft Zim used regularly, from traveling on a six-month-long journey from Conventia to Earth, and is his primary mode of transportation throughout the series.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (It was noted in WoG that he's not really stupid, but he's got some problems getting priorities straight and is utterly unaware of his shortcomings[48]. Zim has been shown to create machinery far greater than that of humanity, which is even admitted by President Man[33]. Claimed that Irken babies play with more advanced toys when inside one of Professor Membrane's labs, after making a potion with Dib that seemingly sped up his body being transmuted into a sausage[11])
Weaknesses: It was noted in WoG that he's not really stupid, but he's got some problems getting priorities straight and is utterly unaware of his shortcomings.[48] His body can be harmed by pollutants in certain earth matter [ Barbecue Sauce[13], Soda[13], Bologna[11], and Water.[20] ]
