Go to The Secret Saturdays Wiki to learn more about Zak Saturday |
Zak Saturday is a hero and ally of Ben in Omniverse. He is the son of Drew Saturday and Doc Saturday and the reincarnation of the cryptid known as Kur. He appeared in T.G.I.S..
Appearance[]
Aside from the different art style and being three years older, he looks almost the same as before. He retains his salt and pepper hair style and skin tone. However, his hair is now longer and he also sports three freckles on each cheek. Along with that, he now wears the same armor as his parents. His eyes are orange.
Personality[]
Having matured since the end of The Secret Saturdays, Zak still possesses his reckless streak. However, he is much more responsible than when he was younger. Also, his intellect is much more apparent, as he shows full understanding of the science around him and his parents.
Since he likes to be around Ben, he tells him that he wants to be recognized as a hero that helps the world. However, he later feels that his work is more important than being in the limelight. He was disturbed when Ben has a crush on his mom, Drew Saturday, reminding him that she is a parent.
History[]
Background[]
The Saturdays have worked with Max Tennyson before on The Bellwood Experiment, a secret project.[MW 1]
Omniverse[]
In T.G.I.S., Zak, along with his parents, went to Bellwood to investigate a Chupacabra attack, when they ran into Ben. Zak quickly recognized him, due to the hero's fame and throughout the episode, they became friends.
Ben helped Zak stop the Frankencryptids' attack on Bellwood caused by Argost and Dr. Animo, and at the end of the episode, they parted ways.
Powers and Abilities[]
Zak has control over most cryptids just like his past incarnation of Kur. He can perform higher than average feats, like enhanced strength, reflexes, and agility. He is also shown to have a great degree of fighting skills.
Equipment[]
Zak wields The Claw in combat. The claw at the end is known as Hand of Tsul 'Kalu, a powerful, ancient cryptid artifact that helps Zak control and focus his natural ability to influence and control cryptids. The Claw glows when Zak uses his powers.
The Claw contains a spring loaded cable and telescoping shaft. Zak has used it as a grappling hook by snaring and swinging to objects from a distance and as a vaulting pole.
Weaknesses[]
Zak alone could be overpowered against much stronger or larger opponents like V.V. Argost.
Zak's Claw could also be used against him once shot out. His recklessness could lead him into situations that would be too much for him to handle.
Appearances[]
Omniverse[]
Season 3[]
- T.G.I.S. (first appearance)
Trivia[]
- Despite losing his cryptid-controlling powers in the final episode of The Secret Saturdays, he retains them in Omniverse because some residual Kur energy remains within him. Therefore, he retains his powers albeit in a weaker state.
- Zak's armor is based off the Plug Suits from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion.[DJW 2][DJW 3]
- Zak's original, younger counterpart from The Secret Saturdays appears in the final episode of OK K.O.!: Let's Be Heroes, Thank You for Watching the Show, where he is shown facing Strike.
- The reason for this cameo is because no one from The Secret Saturdays appeared in Crossover Nexus.
