Zombie Spider-Man

**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)

***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.

* 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.
