Back Story of the Sixth-Scale Zira from Sideshow Collectibles
Zira is not like most of her fellow apes. She shows empathy towards humans, and seeks to prove that they can be domesticated. Zira and her fiancée, archeologist Cornelius, are secretly gathering data to prove that ape rose from man. This radical theory is put to the test when a human captive is brought to her, an anomaly with a wound on his neck and who gestures as though he can talk. Naming him "Bright-Eyes," Zira takes an immediate fascination and soon learns that he can read and write! When the neck injury heals, Bright Eyes proves that he can indeed speak, shocking all of Ape City in an infamous public display. The Ape council is threatened by this strange talking human and holds an Inquisition to determine his fate. Zira and Cornelius boldly plead Taylor's case, risking their own well being, but to no avail. Taylor is sentences to be gelded and experimented upon. Bravely risking all she has worked so hard for, Zira enlists Cornelius and her nephew, the teenage malcontent Lucius, to free Taylor, to an archeological site which will help unlock the shocking truth behind the mystery of the origin of Ape.
