History

Zirksu as Diabolik

Zirksu was a member of the Skrull army that operated during the late 50s and an enemy of the first 3-D Man. He was first seen in the Skrull ship that kidnapped the NASA pilot Chuck Chandler, while he was testing the latest NASA's prototype, the XF-13. After Chuck's escape, he survived the Skrull ship's explosion and he followed Chuck on Earth. Discovering that Chuck has become the 3-D Man, he decided to assume the identity of Diabolik, a communist spy, and collaborate with the Russians to catch 3-D Man. Eventually 3-D Man defeated the spies and Zirksu revealed his identity to Chuck, but managed to escape.

He then assumed the identity of Boss Buzz, the leader of a street gang. Thanks to his Skrull-sensing powers, 3-D Man found him and easily defeated his gang, but Zirksu escaped, assuming another identity: Doc Rock, a DJ. Thanks to this identity he gave a special guitar to a young rockstar, Vince Rivers, acting as his manager. The guitar was actually a Skrull experimental weapon, which could alter teenagers' behavior. 3-D Man helped the police to calm down the teenagers and Vince was arrested, even if the criminal was in fact Doc Rock.

Zirksu as Doc Rock

Zirksu then assumed the identity of the vice-president Richard Nixon, to convince unsuccessful scientist Eric Sinkovitz that 3-D Man was actually a red spy. Sinkovitz used his scientific experiments to become the Cold Warrior and started a battle with 3-D Man, who defeated him. Then Zirksu, disappointed for his failure, abandoned Nixon's identity to take a less notable appearance, and stopped trying to catch 3-D Man.
