In "Tick Tock", Zane never saw himself getting powers. Zane also could have got his powers before he was conscious so he never new a thing.

1. But how did Dr. Julien give him his powers?

2. Well, yes, Zane forgot about his power source, along with the rest of his past. If you mean that he still doesn't remember his power source, then that doesn't make sense, as the memory switch should have fixed that.

3. Though Zane was never showed with powers in the flashbacks, that doesn't mean he didn't have them. Zane saw his entire life when reactivating his memory, but the viewers only saw bits and pieces of milestones in his life, so he could have used his powers, but we just didn't see them in any of the flashbacks. Also, none of the ninja had their powers in the second season. Only with their Golden Weapons did they unlock their elements, so I doubt Zane was the only one that managed to unlock his powers in his early life.

4. That is my own opinion, that Zane was actually powered by his elemental power. So he wasn't up and running until the elemental power passed on to him. In order for this to happen, the previous Master of Ice would've had to die (possibly an uncle or something).
