Before he was a symbol of fear and evil throughout the galaxy, Zurg was an ordinary kid by the name of Tristopher Lightyear. But things took a turn for the worse when his mother was killed and was separated from his father and younger brother in an invasion by the Insectoids, who were under the command of Lord Dregg, who ended finding the abandoned child. Dregg originally planned to just let the Insectoids kill Tristopher, but is convinced by the Almighty Talls of Irk, fellow members of Dregg’s trade federation known as the TechnoGang, to take him in and train him in the ways of evil. From there we see Tristopher’s transformation into the sinister man he is now.
