Zoomer (character)

Zoomer is one of four speaking characters in the Nintendo Comics System story, Deceít Du Jour. It works under Mother Brain and is capable of speech and gun-wielding. Zoomer questions 'Big Time' Brannigan's self-advertised "the best" "100% rating", claiming that it had heard rumors otherwise. Zoomer appears to command a group of Reo that also carry pistols. How Zoomer is capable of these things is unknown, since the rest of his species are considered vermin and do not display advanced skills. It may have something to do with the mind-control that Mother Brain is said to have over the Metroids in the original game. More recently, Iona Faria, a wild species on Zebes, were also shown to similarly wield lasers in the Metroid manga. Based on the fact that other elements from the Nintendo Comic System were brought into the series, this may also represent a connection. Zoomer, however, has not appeared since.
