Zeek (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)

"My granddad passed along a thing or two. One thing he taught me was... how quick someone will write off a good thing. If something doesn't work the way they want it to, they just toss it away. They think it's "junk," but it's not, mm-mm. You see, junk is junk. Salvage... Salvage is an opportunity, an opportunity to turn it into something new."

- Zeek

Zeek is a skilled mechanic and a junkyard owner in Blue Valley, as well as a close friend of Pat Dugan.

Meeting Pat Dugan
In 2020, Zeek sold an exhaust pipe to Pat Dugan for $19.99 with no refunds or returns. He then questioned Pat's purchases on multiple parts and later acquainted him.

After Matt Harris' pickup truck was severely damaged by a Metahuman, Zeek towed the vehicle to Pat Dugan's garage and claimed if he did not know better he would have thought King Kong punched the car.

S.T.R.I.P.E.
In summer 2021, Pat and his family planned on a trip and asked Zeek's assistance to look after his garage. After having suspicion over the "employees only" room in the building, Zeek entered and discovered a robot. Pat later returned and found Zeek observing the machine, with Zeek promising not to tell anyone and assisting on building a flamethrower on its forearm despite Pat's initial refusal.

Abilities

 * Engineering: Zeek once built a flamethrower out of a propane tank and a BB gun.
