A hypnotist much like Mockingbird, Z however has far more scruples than Mockingbird ever did. While Mockingbird is capable of tactile hypnosis, looking into Z's right eye will cause the target to fall into a trance-like state. It works instantaneously and is very potent, even via proxies like live video footage which is why Z's sworn off from using it ever since a disastrous event in his reckless days of youth as a supernatural glam rock star.
Z and Mockingbird supposedly dated in the past, but it's ambiguous when and whether or not this actually happened. Z and Dove, however, are on fond terms, and it's as though Z makes for a better parental figure for Dove than his own biological father.
