Welcome back, nerd squad.
You may not have asked for any of this gruesomeness but you are getting it anyway.
It's time to turn to my favourite of the most disturbed alternate Marvelverses, well apart
from Logan, the Zombie Marvelverse or more specifically, earth 2149.
Today We'll be taking a closer look at this earth as we count down the top 10 alternate
Marvel Zombie superheroes.
What makes a zombie great?
Their accomplishments.
Their ability to survive and above all how resourceful yet disgusting they can be.
Be sure to stick around to the end of this video where we will have some bonus content
coming your way in the form of comments.
Alright, let's get counting.
10 She-Hulk
She-Hulk becomes infected after responding to an Avengers Assemble call.
She makes the bottom spot due to her smarts as a zombie.
What can I say I'm a sucker for a brilliant yet gruesome zombie?
She uses her knowledge of the Baxter Building to sneak in and devour Valeria and Franklin
Richards whom Sue and Reed had hid there thinking they would be safe.
I guess the FF never thought any of their former members would turn against them or
become zombies.
Change your passwords frequently, friends.
Also zombie She-Hulk took out Franklin Richards?
Impressive.
I mean gross but still impressive.
9 Dazzler
I know that Dazzler seems like a random zombie for me to include on this list but hear me
out.
I wanted to include her because she ends up being part of Ash's crew during the Marvel
Zombies vs Army of Darkness.
Besides that she is also able to unveil the Enchantress' disguise as she was infected
by using her powers to mask her zombie-like appearance.
How does Dazzler do this with by using her light powers.
Unfortunately she ends up getting sadly underused as Enchantress bites off her finger and Doctor
Doom appears to vaporize the both of them.
Poor Alison.
At least she got more than just a background cameo in a single panel like some heroes.
8 Colonel America
That's right this version of Captain America is ranked as a Colonel not a Captain.
Oh and he was also President for a bit.
He was turned fairly early when it comes to the Marvel Zombies timeline, after responding
to a report of Sentry attacking people downtown.
This turned out to be the infected Sentry of earth 91126 who was kind of stuck in a
zombie virus time loop.
I know the Marvel Zombieverse is more complex than you'd think.
This version of Steve is defeated by Red Skull by having his brains scooped out.
But later he returns as the virus preserved his brain somewhat and it ends up transplanted
into T'Challa's deceased son T'Channa much later.
Unfortunately it was somewhat damaged and so while Steve survives somewhat longer than
most, he is reduced to rage fuelled zombie who can only focus on battle.
I know, the Marvel Zombie virus is so beautifully weird.
7 Black Panther
Black Panther survives for a long time in the Marvel Zombieverse and only ends up being
transformed in order to save his life.
He ends up with the zombie head of Janet Van Dyne after escaping Hank Pym who had kidnapped
him.
Later he attempts to rebuild New York as New Wakanda with those that survived the zombie
apocalypse.
He even gets married to Lisa Hendricks and has a son with her named T'Channa.
However as time progresses the new Acolytes become frustrated with T'Challa's lack of
progress and plan to assassinate and usurp him.
The almost succeed but Janet manages to save him while in a cybernetic body by biting him
and transforming him into a zombie.
Janet herself was cured of her hunger after simply refusing to give into it.
But T'Challa's transformation causes a relapse in her hunger and her and T'Challa end up
having to be quarantined during their withdrawal period.
6 Spider-Man
Even as a zombie, Spider-Man becomes a hero.
Spider-Man felt a lot of guilt after succumbing to the virus.
He ate MJ and likely ate Aunt May.
As one of the Power Cosmic zombies, he travelled the universe eating everything in sight, until
one day, soon after devouring Ego the Living Planet, he realized he was no longer really
hungry anymore.
He and the rest of Power Cosmic zombie crew decided to return to earth to retrieve Mr
Fantastic's dimensional portal which would allow them to travel to an alternate earth
so that they could continue to feed.
However upon returning to earth they realized that civilization had been rebuilt, known
as New Wakanda, under the guidance of zombie Black Panther.
Not wanting to repeat his past mistakes and still feeling fairly full, Spidey refused
to devour anyone on earth and attacked Giant Man when he suggested they create a forced
breeding program on earth to guarantee an endless supply of food.
5 Sentry
Robert Reynolds is just so bizarre in the Marvel Zombieverse.
He kinda ends up hiding out on Asteroid M while the contagion rages on and later spent
40 years working on a cure when he was brought the disembodied zombie head of Janet Van Dyne.
During his time working on a cure it turns out that he had fallen in love with zombie
Janet and the two even kiss in the comics.
Which aside from grossing everyone out, surprisingly does not transform the Sentry into a zombie.
After Janet's death, Robert gives himself up to Zombie Hulk to be devoured.
Knowing that satiating his former friend's hunger will help to calm him down and allow
him to transform back into Bruce.
Even in this weird messed up universe, these two strong guys are still pretty adorable.
After turning back to Banner, Bruce gives up his life.
To be clear this is Sentry of earth 2149, the Marvel Zombieverse, not that of Sentry
91126, who is the infected version of Sentry you see in Marvel
Zombies Return.
4 Hulk
The Hulk lasts for quite awhile as a zombie.
Unsurprisingly, I'm sure as he is so strong.
Still the Marvel Zombieverse still managed to have a ton of undead casualties so his
survival is still impressive.
Hulk became one of the zombie squad to devour the Silver Surfer and get the Power Cosmic.
Along with the other Power Cosmic Zombies, he travels to the Skrull home planet where
he and his friends manage to eat just about everyone on the planet and zombify a giant
bug.
My favourite thing about zombie Hulk though is how sad he is when he is hungry.
He just wants to eat all the time and always seems to consider himself the most hungry
of the group.
3 Headpool
He originally adopted the name the Merc with half a Mouth and appears in Marvel Zombies
volume 3 where he ends up making his way to earth 616.
Although originally thought dead after getting blended up by what appears to be the exposed
blades on the back of a hovercraft.
However he wasn't quite dead yet.
His head survived and was taken into custody by ARMOR, where now Headpool as labelled as
patient zero.
But don't worry though Deadpool's zombie head escaped and got into all sorts of wacky adventures
as any version of Deadpool is warrant to do.
Though another alternate version of Deadpool killed Headpool in the end.
A fitting end for the disembodied zombie head.
2 Mr Fantastic
After his children were devoured and She-Hulk was killed, Reed Richard's worked on finding
a cure for the virus.
But of course instead got all obsessed and mad sciencey, believing the infection to actually
be a stage of evolution.
Sue of course strongly disagreed.
But Reed being Reed, ignored his wife and decided that he knew what was best for himself
and the rest of the Fantastic Four as well as humanity, that they should all evolve.
Involuntarily turning the rest of the FF into zombies by giving them each a tiny open wound
that allowed them to contract the virus.
As such Reed was behind creating the most dangerous team of zombie supers.
He also enjoyed getting eaten and turned by his zombified teammates way too much.
Marvel Zombies: Dead Days
1 Giant-Man
Hank is probably the worst and best alternate superhero in the Marvel Zombieverse.
Not only is one of the seven Power Cosmic Zombies who successfully got the Power Cosmic
after devouring The Silver Surfer, he also managed to keep a tasty secret all to himself
for awhile.
He actually realized what was happening before he was fully transformed, after Janet Van
Dyne, his wife, the Wasp infected him.
As such he managed to lure Black Panther back to his lab.
He kept the restrained Black Panther whom he slowly fed off of by sawing off limbs while
keeping T'Challa alive, a secret.
Though, Janet eventually found out resulting in Hank having to kill her.
This is one of the nastiest things I have seen in the Marvel Zombieverse which is why
I believe Giant-Man deserves the top spot.
You can check out this grossness for yourself in Marvel Zombies vol 1, issue 2.
Ick.
Thank you so much for watching, nerd squad.
What is your favourite alternate earth?
Do you like some of the more bizarre and grotesque ones or do you prefer your alternates more
steeped in realism or complete ridiculousness?
Let us know in the comments below.
I personally quite enjoy the Mangaverse.
And any alternate Spider-Man stories.
Gimme all the Spider Totems!
And speaking of comments it's time to turn to some comments from one of our latest videos,
Top 10 People She-Hulk Hooked Up With.
Zack comments, "Queen Amanda!!!
You're looking amazing in this.
Red lipstick!
HELLO!"
Thank you, Zack.
I'm glad you were all enjoying my spy-like looks in that video.
I very much like wearing dark colours and red lips in the winter.
It just feels right, you know?
Hades2Eros says, "Hellcat would probably end up being She-Hulk's most stable relationship."
I agree.
I think they would be super cute together, super good for one another and just have a
heck of a lot of fun!
They are both similar and yet different.
Which I always find makes for fun writing when it comes to comic book couples.
And that's all the time we have for comments today, nerd squad.
