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.

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.
