Even comic books aren't immune to the hordes, as can be seen by Marvel Zombies and its 12 billion sequels and spin-offs. For this Monstrous/Mastermind Monday I decided to take the Centurion, Freedom City's fallen Superman-like protector and give him the Marvel Zombies treatment. These zombies keep their powers and hook you with one bite (if they don't devour you).

Zombie Centurion is a true monster. I don't know that I would ever actually use him directly against the characters but I thought it would be fun to stat him out anyway. Also, if you slap on heat vision this could very easily be used as stats for zombie Superman (which is the implied first super zombie in the original Marvel Zombies storyline, though it was later revealed to be Sentry).
Awesome! I love mixing my supers with horror and supernatural. BTW have you seen the new M&M book out on Supernatural Supers?
ReplyDeleteThis is great and you are right this guy is a monster.
Thanks so much for participating in my bloghop!
Very cool. I've never heard of that storyline. Frightening! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I bought the pdf yesterday (and printed it out today at work). The book isn't what I was expecting. I think calling it the "Horror Handbook" would be more fitting, but it's really interesting. The Build-A-Critter section is useful even if you're not doing a supernatural game.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see Dracula's stats in the book. He fits with the theme of the book, but they've already released the Freedom City version (which is a PL11, instead of the Supernatural Handbook's PL14).
I really enjoyed the bloghop Tim. Seriously, thanks for hosting it.
Lol! And I thought my zombie-clown was evil. This guy gives me the creeps!
ReplyDeleteJust like vampires, you can't overuse the zombie, in my humble opinion. Sure, you might take a break from them for awhile, but it's always nice to visit them again. Great post. Hopping by for Monstrous Monday.
ReplyDeleteZombies scare the sweat out of me. :)
ReplyDeleteSo it's not bad enough to run from a zombie, it has to be a zombie with super powers?
ReplyDeleteZombies are my favorite monsters EVER! And superpowers?? Why is this not a bestseller? You must hurry up and write it!
ReplyDeleteSabrina has a point, that we can overuse ideas, and the zombie idea certainly can get old - so to speak - but this feels to me a very fresh approach. I think Erin has a point too - there could be big interest in this even beyond gaming, so maybe you could run with it in some way.
ReplyDeleteYou can't get a good zombie down.
ReplyDeleteZombies are super scary, because they could be the result of a plague and you just never know...I would really regret all my windows if zombies really happen. Awesome monstrous monday post. :)
ReplyDeleteZombies and vampires will endure. Every time a new zombie flick comes out I am compelled to go see it (or download it). One sleeper vampire movie you might want to check out is a comedy called "Blood on the Highway." Funny and smart...oh, and bloody. Cheers.
ReplyDeletezombie centurion, very original. i love how you put it lots of pointers on how they combat. new follower here and bloghopping! hi!
