The Zeta Project is a science fiction American animated series which first aired on Kids' WB in January 2001. It is a spinoff series based on the character Zeta from the Batman Beyond episode of the same name. The show was created by Robert Goodman. The story's main character, Infiltration Unit Zeta, is a humanoid robot (synthoid) designed to carry out covert assassinations on the behalf of the NSA. However, when Zeta discovers that one of his targets is innocent, he experiences a kind of existential crisis about goodness and the value of life; following this epiphany, Zeta finds he can no longer kill. The newly enlightened Zeta refuses to continue on as an infiltration unit and abandons his mission, going rogue. Zeta is pursued by a team of NSA agents, led by the obsessed Agent Bennett, and aided by a 15-year-old runaway, Ro Rowen.
