Lucky for you guys you're already dead, huh? 'Course, all I've wanted out of my un-life ever since this plague made me lose everything I had in my world-- and this one... is erase the curse of you flesh-eaters from the multiverse forever!
~ Zombie Spider-Man, Marvel Zombies Return #5 (The Avengers Dismembered)

Zombie Spider-Man is an alternate version of Spider-Man from Marvel Comics, originating from an alternate universe where he was bitten by a zombie. He appeared in the pilot episode of Battle Royale Bonus, where he was pitted against Vampire Batman from DC Comics. He was voiced by Marc "GaoGaiKingTheGreat" Rafanan.

History[]

Peter Parker's life started much like his mainline universe's counterpart, given powers by a radioactive spider and using them for personal gain, but his failure to stop his uncle and father figure's death driving him to become a superhero. In an alternate universe called Earth-2419, Peter found himself teaming up with none other than Ash Williams of Evil Dead fame, who told him of his quest to stop a zombie outbreak from another dimension from spreading. However, they were too late, as the Avengers had already been zombified and managed to infect Peter, turning him into the Zombie Spider-Man. After killing his aunt and his wife, Peter would try to remain a hero - while desperately trying to hold back his hunger for flesh.

  • Height: 5'10'' (1.78 m)
  • Weight: 167 lbs (76 kg)
  • Occupation: Zombie, formerly Photographer
  • The Spider-Man of Earth-2149
  • Became a flesh-hungry zombie after becoming infected by a spreading virus
  • Led the New Avengers of Earth-91126, a team of both uninfected and infected heroes who overcame their hunger
  • Surprisingly, has made very little appearances outside of the comics

Arsenal

  • Seemingly the same traditional arsenal as Earth-616 Spider-Man
  • Twin Wrist-Mounted Web-Shooters
    • Capable of binding Ash Williams & Ultimate Mr. Fantastic
    • While rarely used post-zombification, still carries them on-hand just in case
  • Traditional Spider-Suit
    • Made from skin-tight, spandex-like cloth
    • Conceals web-shooters and a utility belt containing extra fluid clips
    • Damaged and torn apart in certain areas due to zombification
    • Best for everyone if kept on at all times...

Abilities

  • Spider Physiology
    • Does what a spider can! A zombified spider anyway...
    • Despite being undead, still retains superhuman strength, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes and equilibrium to an extent
  • Wall Crawling
  • Vein & Artery Webbing
    • Capable of binding opponents and sticking to surfaces
    • Shoot out with enough force to rip through costume
    • Strong enough to hold Peter's body with no support
    • Causes Peter to feel pain (despite being a zombie)
  • Spider-Sense
    • Grants Peter a sort of omnipresent awareness of present threats or imminent danger
  • Zombie-Sense
    • Grants Peter the ability to sense to presence of flesh, as a side effect of the zombie virus
    • So fine-tuned, he can track the source of the flesh in seconds
    • Can allow him to see through solid objects, zeroing on unzombified meat

Feats

  • Strong enough to easily rip apart human arms, tear out throats and decapitate heads.
    • Jammed his hand through Mysterio's helmet and head, shattering his skull and removing his brain.
  • Turned freshly zombified Sinister Six into a shower of blood before he could even finish a sentence.
  • Endured Electro's maximum shock output of 10 million volts.
  • Dragged Zombie Wolverine through a brick wall.
  • Survived getting upper torso ripped in half by Zombie Gladiator, even matching his own strength.
  • Tore off his own skin and showed few signs of pain.
  • Survived being hit by several cars along with an explosion from Magneto.
  • Tagged Zombie Quicksilver with his vein & artery webbing, ripping his head off.
  • Barely dodged blasts from Galactus, and tore into his flesh.
  • With the Power Cosmic, reacted to several missiles and blew them out of the sky.
  • Ate all known life in the galaxy alongside the Marvel Zombies.

Weaknesses

  • Constantly tempted by the urge to consume living flesh, especially when in close proximity; he is vulnerable to going savage if the hunger takes control of him.
    • Later learns to tame it, seeing it more as a temptation than a necessity.
  • Constantly bogged down by guilt and self-hatred over the monster he has become.
  • While not suffering from it too much, it's to be expected that Peter's body has been rotting even only slightly as a result of the zombie virus.
  • Destroying his brain or decapitation is the only true way to kill Zombie Peter.
    • Granted, this is somewhat inconsistent, seeing as how Zombie Quicksilver was able to keep moving his body even after his head was detached.
  • No longer possesses the Power Cosmic.

Trivia[]

  • Interestingly, Zombie Spider-Man appeared in Battle Royale before the original Spider-Man did.
