Project Zorgo is the original adversary of the Spy Ninjas. This sinister organization, made up of masked, brainwashed hackers, sought to dominate YouTube and control creative content across the internet. Founded in 2018 by the enigmatic PZ Leader—rumored to be part android with superhuman strength and an AI-generated voice—and the mysterious mad scientist Joseph Banks, Project Zorgo operated from the "Black Pyramid" in Luxor, Las Vegas. Their strategy relied heavily on their army of brainwashed minions, who attempted to silence their enemies and seize global power.

Project Zorgo was last seen in the 2022 video "The End of the Spy Ninjas," when Chad, Vy, and their team finally defeated the PZ Leader. Since then, there have been no reports of activity or sightings of their minions. Today, Project Zorgo serves as a symbol at Spy Ninjas HQ of the sinister forces that must be confronted to uphold Spy Ninja values, such as honesty, teamwork, honor, and loyalty.
