WTF is that, you ask? Well...

During Both Syllables, the Irken population in the entire universe is depleted to about three dozen. Total. Most of them are still antagonistic and have banded together with Zurg as their leader (Zurg is Irken under his suit. Yeah. Well. It's crack).

The other few include Tak, who's a space ranger, Skoodge, who's a doctor (it's supposed to be corny), and Zim who's been exiled to Earth in the custody of Dib and Lilo (no, he's not happy about that).

Well, this is just a foggy idea and I'm not even sure where I can fit it into the storyline, but let's say Jumba (being the overzealous scientist that he is) decides he'll help out the dwindling Irkens by building a machine that functions like a smaller-scale version of their smeeteries, that combines the DNA of two or more of them to make little tube smeeties. (Maybe he's working with Professor Membrane on it? Cuz that'd just be cool. FOR REAL SCIENCE!1!!!11!!!!1)

Aaaanyway. Zim hears about this and decides this new generation of Irkens needs his amazing genetic material. Of course, Tak and the other handful of good!Irkens are like 'NO U CANNOT HAS.' There's a kerfuffle and eventually, Zim finds himself alone with the machine. And he's like, 'HA. I CLONE MYSELF. THE WORLD NEEDS MOAR COOL PPLZ LIKE ME.'
Of course the machine isn't designed to make carbon-copies, it's designed to make the species more diverse. So recieving only one genetic code, it sputters around a while, cahnges random genes, changes the chromosones and spits out a girl smeet. Zim is all 'WTF JUST FOR THAT I'M NAMIN' YOU AFTER ME ANYWAY' (in this his full name is Zerinim) and... yah.

Tak and the others (mostly Tak, she seems like a ringleader type to me) are all 'ARGH DEVIL SMEET' and Zim and his girl!clone are sent back to Earth where they belong. Zeri here grows up embittered, sarcastic, eccentric, and totally and completely played for laughs.

Mmmmm... yep. :>
