Major Story Arcs
Retribution
Zip Zephyr first appears after the fallout of gang war in Brooklyn challenging the young webslinger Miles Morales while he was on patrol with Kamala Khan and Shift. Zip Zephyr first fires his magical bag of wind currents known as sakkos at Miles which the Spider-man dodges. While fighting the trio of superheroes Zip Zephyr brags about his demi-god status while ridiculing so called "mortals" like Miles. Though Zephyr possessed great strength and agility he was no match for all three of the young heroes and was quickly debilitated from a monstrous punch from shift, being webbed up by Miles for the local authorities to retrieve him.
Birds of a Feather
Zip Zephyr was shown terrorizing the local police force in hopes of proving he deserves his place in the lineage of the Anemoi, While releasing Destructive air waves strong enough to dismantle swat cars and buildings. Just when Zip Zephyr thought he achieved victory his rival Miles Morales arrives with a vicious kick to the demi-god's face. Zephyr while frustrated by the young spider's kick and taunts, also saw this as a opportunity to prove his godly might and status. The fight between the two was evenly matched, Miles even calling Zephyr's strength "otherworldly".
During the fight Miles made Zephyr bleed a golden ichor from his mouth due to his barrage of attacks, thus further proving Zephyr is actually descended from gods. Seeking to wrap up the fight quickly Miles uses his "maxxed mode" and charges a devastating punch wrapped in his venom which registered Zephyr unconscious. Miles said this was the hardest punch he has ever thrown seeing somewhat impressed the demi-god is only knocked out cold and not worse. Zip Zephyr is then left in the battlefield for the NYPD to retrieve him.
