Who is Lord Zarak?

Lord Zarak is a Nebulan leader and the primary villain of the Headmasters miniseries who bonds with the Decepticon Scorponok, becoming his binary-bonded Headmaster partner — his organic head transforming into Scorponok's robot head and granting control of the massive Decepticon.

Lord Zarak made his sinister entrance in the landmark The Transformers: Headmasters #1 back in 1987, a Bob Budiansky and Frank Springer creation who helped usher in one of the most inventive concepts of the Copper Age. A Marvel villain steeped in the Transformers universe, he shares his pages with heavy hitters like Scorponok, Mindwipe, Hot Rod, Blurr, and Kup — formidable company that signals just how deep into the thick of the action this character operates. With appearances stretching across nearly four decades and a presence in multiple Transformers series, Lord Zarak has proven surprisingly durable for a character with roots in a single landmark miniseries. If you're tracing the full scope of Marvel's Transformers mythology, he's a name worth hunting down.
