Though really Zane just pulled an Optimus Pime, dying which made everyone sad, only for him to get a new toy... i mean a new body for him to join the rest of the heroes... yeah thats it... Well, it's not unbelievable for the Overlord to only be banished. Zane gave nothing up: not his life (not really), and not his elemental power.
