He is based on an ironing board, a small foldable table with a heat-resisatant surface, and the Silver Surfer, a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
His name is a portmanteau of "iron board," the real-life object he is based on, and "Silver Surfer," the fictional character he is based on.
The 401Z plan mentioned in his description is a reference to a 401(k) plan, which is the tax-qualified, defined-contribution pension account defined in subsection 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Strategies
With
This zombie essentially acts like Plantern, but he has Bullseye in any lane and has 1 less than Plantern. Since this is a superpower and costs 1, you can normally only have one in any given game, though play this early to do unblockable damage right away, then play environments like Laser Base Alpha or Teleportation Station on his lane to power him up.
He can also be used in tandem with Unlife of the Party and Frankentuar to give them both a boost. However, Huge-Gigantacus is not a Crazy hero, meaning he has to get them from Raiding Raptor and Bad Moon Rising first. An alternative way, if you are playing as Professor Brainstorm, is to get him from Thinking Cap or Quasar Wizard first.
Also, note that you can only play him on the Zombies Play phase and not the Zombie Tricks phase unlike other zombie superpowers without the use of Teleport or Teleportation Zombie, so he cannot block plants after the Plants Play phase and thus can be easily destroyed by tricks.
Against
Treat this zombie like Plantern, as he becomes powerful in an environment but has Bullseye in any lane. If he is not in an environment, Berry Blast or Bonk Choy can destroy this in one hit. If he is in an environment, use Zapricot, Haunted Pumpking or Whack-a-Zombie to destroy him. You can also weaken him by moving Iron Boarder out of an environment, but only if he is in one. You can also turn him into a useless 0/1 zombie by using Weed Whack on him when he is not in an environment.

Trivia
His description has a grammatical mistake, having an "a" in front of Huge-Gigantacus' name, as if he were an object, not a character.
As you see the Iron Boarder in the Ice Moon in the Gallery before, there is a glitch where Iron Boarder gains a mustache when he gets Bounced, as if he were Conjured by Imposter, despite being a superpower, which means that he can't be Conjured.
He is the third zombie to wear underwear, the first being the Newspaper Zombie and the second being the Barrel Zombie.
