Zeus remains a loyal friend and hero from the second book onward. He joins Michael's Electroclan and helps take down the compound and free the rebel Glows. Taylor reveals that it was all a lie, then alters his memory to help him overcome his fabricated past. Michael overpowers Zeus, and Taylor uses her powers to read Zeus's mind and find his (or what he believed was his) tragic backstory.

Zeus later is ordered by Hatch to kill Michael and his friends Taylor and Ostin.

He is punished by Hatch for using his powers in public. When a man at a concert tells him he stinks, he shocks the man unconscious. He lives with Hatch's Glows and joins them in attending concerts and stunt shows. In the first book, Zeus aids Hatch in kidnapping Michael's mother, guarding and torturing her along the way.

Hatch told Zeus that it was his fault, changed his name, and took him in. When he was a child, his family was killed by the Elgen through electrocution in a swimming pool. Zeus was one of the seventeen children accidentally granted electrical powers by a malfunctioning experimental machine. Therefore, he does not bathe often and has a very bad aroma. However, due to his electrical makeup, he cannot get wet without shocking himself. Zeus is described as a tall, handsome blonde boy. However, he does have a very short temper, and can be possessive, arrogant, jealous, and sometimes mean-spirited.
