He once fought against mysterious beings in a fierce battle for 140 hours and emerged victorious. This event made him a bit famous.

Alien Conquerors Arc
Zombieman first appears in the S-Class Hero Association meeting.

Human Monster Saga
The following section contains Webcomic spoilers. You have been warned manga-only readers. Once he found the House of Evolution for a revenge, Armored Gorilla told him that the old House of Evolution they once knew is no more, all that's left is but a takoyaki shop in its place, much to Zombieman's surprise. While confronting Dr. Genus, Zombieman demands an answer from him of what happened to the old House of Evolution and how they were defeated quickly or else he'll shoot Genus in his head, but the now good doctor has no hesitation of being killed to atone his sins. A redeemed former doctor of the old House of Evolution tells Zombieman of the demise to his evil ambition's were caused by a man known as Saitama, who managed to break his physical limiter gaining unlimited godlike powers in the process. Powers such as the super strength and senses throughout 100 times push-up, sit up and squats, and 10km running exercises in 3 years, as well as knowing that Saitama is part of the Hero Association where Zombieman belonged now, though Zombieman unknowingly met Saitama before back in the Great Prophecy arc. As Zombieman wants to know why House of Evolution chooses to open a takoyaki shop for their redemption, Genus replies that he has his intelligence left to create regenerative meats from legally eaten animals, using an octopus as an example to serve to his customers, thus sparing the new House of Evolution's life after having reasonably sussed out the info he needed.

Monster Association Arc
Called upon the Hero Association to raid a newly discovered Monster Association in Z-City, he immediately agrees to join because he was "in the mood for smashing that kind of organization."

Zombieman encounters Vampire (Pureblood). He is seen on the floor with an unfazed look despite his injuries. His bullets are useless against Vampire (Pureblood) as it is easily catched and released. Zombieman then tells his opponent to "prepare for some mud slinging" and 30 minutes later, he stands victorious in the middle of a bloody wrecked room with an ax slung over his shoulder. After taking about 200 fatal wounds from Vampire (Pureblood), he decides to rest saying 3 minutes are needed for automatic full recovery.

Zombieman wanders around, wondering what the rumbling noise is about. Suddenly, Homeless Emperor is behind him who then blasts him with his energy spheres. He immediately gets up, much to his new opponent's surprise. He then asks how Homeless Emperor came to accquire such enormous power. It was a plan to stall time for his regeneration to work, but he comes to learn that a "God" had granted Homeless Emperor his "Divine Power". Unfortunately, Homeless Emperor had finished talking before Zombieman can fully recover and the two proceed to fight once again.

The next time Zombieman is seen, he has a huge hole in the middle of his body. He falls, and Homeless Emperor is seemingly the winner. But during the heros' all out fight with the association's Dragon level monsters, he crashes out of the rubble and pinns Homeless Emperor down. Homeless Emperor, who was apparently physically average had no means to free himself from Zombieman's grasp. The battle is won by Zombieman when God takes away Homeless Emperor's divine powers along with his life.

As the self-proclaimed "God Level Threat" Monster Garou defeats one hero after another, Zombieman steps up to stop him while knowing it is futile. As a result, he is reduced into a bloody pile in a matter of seconds. He recovers just in time to witness Saitama perform his Serious Table Flip.

Seeing Saitama has no intentions to kill Garou, Zombieman offers to kill Garou for him. But Saitama, and also Bang, refused to kill Garou because of having an emphathy for Garou, understanding how he feels and what he truly wants; besides realizing he had saved a child whom the heroes thought to be kidnapped and about to be killed by Garou, thus letting him get away.

Psychic Sisters/Fall of Hero Associations Arc
By the time the Hero Association is about to fall soon enough, Zombieman returns to Genus informing him on what the former doctor said to him about Saitama's power reached through the removal of his limiter was true, and begged the doctor to make Zombieman's power equal to Saitama by having his limiter removed. However, Genus told Zombieman that in order for the hero to be at par with Saitama he'd have to do so under certain conditions.
