After Sigma was finally defeated once and for all, Zero and X were involved in a new conflict called the "Elf Wars" due to its use of the electronic life-forms known as cyber-elves. Zero, having learned that his code was the original source of the Maverick outbreak, went into hybernation while scientists worked on a way to remove the malicious code. In that time, he was given a second body to inhabit, which he was awakened in by the human scientist Ciel, seeking his aid to defeat her rebellious creation, a copy of X. While Zero helps with the resistance group that Ciel leads, he soon learns that his original body had been stolen by a mad scientist named Dr. Weil, naming the original body as "Omega". Zero destroys Omega and later defeats Weil, despite knowing the fact that he was human, putting an end to the Robot Wars that Wily had begun centuries ago.

In ''Ultimate'', all of the techniques Zero uses as an Assist Trophy originate from the ''Mega Man X'' series:
*His triple slash attack first debuted in ''Mega Man X4'', where it is his most basic attack, with each of the slashes being activated with additional presses of the attack button. It has since been present in all of Zero's mainline playable appearances, including the ''Mega Man Zero'' series, although the slashes themselves differ across games. In ''Ultimate'', he uses the version seen in ''Mega Man X4'' and ''Mega Man X5''.
*Ryuenjin is one of Zero's special techniques in ''Mega Man X4''. It is obtained by defeating Magma Dragoon, and performed by pressing the special move button while holding up. In addition to dealing damage, it can burn certain stage elements, giving Zero access to hidden items, and is notably his only attack that can damage Sigma, the final boss, in his first form. Zero also uses Ryuenjin in several of his crossover appearances, such as ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'' and ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3''.
*Kuenzan is another of Zero's techniques in ''Mega Man X4''. It is obtained by defeating Split Mushroom, after which it permanently replaces his standard midair attack. Unlike in ''Ultimate'', Zero only somersaults once when using it instead of three times. It also appears as an upgrade in the ''Mega Man Zero'' series, and subsequent games of the ''Mega Man X'' series feature similar, circular slash techniques, such as C-Sword in ''X5'', Ensuizan in ''X6'', and Rasetsusen in ''X8''.
*Genmu Zero is a technique available to Zero only in his awakened form in ''Mega Man X5'', when he fights {{b|X|Mega Man}} near the end of the game. He uses it after the battle has gone on for too long, and functions as an unavoidable attack that instantly kills X. In crossovers such as the ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' series, Zero can use this attack in his original form, and Nightmare Zero in ''Mega Man X6'' uses a similar attack known as Genmu Zero Kai, though both are considerably weaker than the version seen in ''X5''.
Zero's double jump and air dash, which he uses in ''Ultimate'', were originally special techniques in ''Mega Man X4'', known as the Kuenbu and Hienkyaku (respectively), that had to be obtained by defeating Mavericks (Split Mushroom and Jet Stingray). In later games, however, they have been available to him from the beginning.
