“	I used to look up at space, with hope and wonder in my eyes. Until space... looked back. Invader Zim: evil alien soldier of the Irken Empire. Sent by his diabolical masters, the Almighty Tallest, to infiltrate Earth and prepare it for the coming invasion. Disguised as one of us, he moved into my neighborhood. He went to my school. And with the help of his vile mechanical servants, plotted to destroy everything we have. Everything we are. And then... he vanished. My name is Dib Membrane. I'm twelve years old, and I'm all that stands between Zim... and the annihilation of our world!	„
	~ Dib Membrane in Enter the Florpus

Dib Membrane is the main antagonist hero of Invader Zim, and the main protagonist of Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus. Dib is a young, eccentric boy who possesses a fascination with unexplained paranormal phenomena, such as ghost hunting, Ufology, and cryptology, as well as with the supernatural and occult.

He intercepted the words spoken at the Great Assigning on planet Conventia in the first episode with his laptop. Six months later, he noticed a strange, green foreign exchange student enter his classroom. Dib tried his best to convince the world that it is in danger, but nobody believed him, due to previous erroneous claims of supernatural beings. Since then, he has made it his mission to protect his oblivious home from Zim's schemes against all odds.

He is voiced by Andy Berman.

Appearance

Dib is a 12 year old who resembles his father, Professor Membrane. Both have black hair. He wears a black trench coat, a blue shirt with a logo of a grey face and glasses. In Dib's Wonderful Life of Doom, Dib's got more jagged and bigger with age. Many people claim that Dib's head is big, a running gag in the show; but it's not visibly bigger. The redesign process God  Save the Dib, however, actually gave him a bigger head.

Personality

As being sepreated by his peers, Dib spends seeking out the paranormal, with his exceptional intelligence and determination. He considers himself Earth's sole defender against Zim's evil plans to enslave humanity and knows that Zim is completely an alien from the Irken Empire. When Zim came to Earth, disguised as a normal boy, Dib was initially shown to be more antagonistic, obsessed, and desperate, making it his one and only primary goal to expose Zim as an alien by any means necessary. Every time Dib tries to revael Zim's alien apperance to his peers it becomes a waste of his oblivious and they would think he's insane or crazy. After that, Dib would lose his obsessive, desperate edge and become a more humorous and depressive. Dib's hatred of Zim is completely real as Zim would take every opportunity to make his existence even more miserable than it is even when unprovoked, making Dib's efforts to beat Zim all the more personal than ever.

Role In The Series

While he is one of the two deuteragonists of the show, he has shown to be a very antagonistic character, often doing mean things to other characters to reach his own personal goals (the most notable being that he once gave his own little sister a curse that made every thing she ate taste like pork so he could see what it did to humans) as well as doing crazy and often life threatening things just to stop Zim. He is also almost always stalking him. He has a sister named Gaz Membrane.

Trivia
