Marvel Zombies

A other Earth called Earth-2149 in the Marvel Multiverse has altered zombie versions of Marvel superheroes. Before infecting the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and nearly all other superheroes, an unidentified superhero from another dimension who was carried by the "Hunger" crashes lands at the start of the story. Through contact with the victim's blood—typically from a bite by an infected person—the infection is spread. Despite having brain damage, the zombie superheroes mainly retain their intelligence, personalities, and talents and are still able to function. However, they are constantly motivated by a "Hunger" for human flesh. The cross-dimensional transporter was destroyed by Magneto after the Ultimate Fantastic Four and survivors returned to the Ultimate universe, where the Crossover story arc left off. This is where the new series picks up. Magneto discovers that the Acolytes and Forge are still alive on Asteroid M following a battle with the zombies. He manages to behead the zombieized Hawkeye, but before he can get to them, he is attacked once again, slain, and consumed by the zombies. Informing the zombies that his boss Galactus is on his way to destroy the world, the Silver Surfer arrives on Earth. A number of the ex-superheroes, including Colonel America, Iron Man, Giant-Man, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, the Hulk, and Wolverine, defeat and swallow the Silver Surfer as the zombies assault. They killed the majority of the remaining zombies after obtaining a portion of the Power Cosmic, determined to satisfy their hunger despite the undead' repulsiveness.
