You have recently received word that a zombie virus is spreading throughout the multiverse (affects animals as well) and will take effect soon. However you've also stumbled upon a mystical artifact that allows you to call on ten fictional characters to help you survive the apocalypse. The artifact (coincidentally) has a manual that details the rules of how it works.
Rule 1: You cannot call on characters with the ability to alter reality on a large scale. If you do, they become only able to perform localized minimal reality alteration for a short period of time. If they have artifacts that grant reality warping, these are toned down in a similar fashion.
Rule 2: You have 10 roles to fill. You must have a different character in each role, and they will be pre-programmed to have a desire to perform the duties of this role. They can take up other tasks, but will be largely uninterested in other roles for the long run. These roles are as follows: Leader, Brawler, Weapons Expert, Supplies, Craftsman, Tactician, Medic, Vehicles, Animal (Must be an an actual animal of some sort), and Meat Shield/Fodder
Rule 3: The stronger your team, the stronger the zombies. The mystical artifact leaks magic energy from the characters you summon and ALL zombies become 10% as powerful (strength, speed, durability, physical attributes) as each character you summon. This adds up. So if you summon Batman then Superman, the zombies will gain 10% of Batman's physical attributes and 10% of Superman's physical attributes. This includes characters who can augment physical abilities. In this case, the zombies gain 10% of them at their maximum power. This also means that enough zombies can hurt all characters you summon.
Rule 4: Immortality is taken away, so all characters can die. However healing factors are left untouched, except for ones that would otherwise grant essential immortality. For these characters, their healing factors are toned down a bit, to where decapitation is always lethal.
Rule 5: Zombies will not attack you (or any non-characters with you) as long as one of your characters lives. This rule fails if they cannot attack your characters for whatever reason
Rule 6: Zombification does not affect your characters
Rule 7: You cannot create your own characters or have other people create them for you. You cannot modify a character's abilities in any way or use a character that has been made with powers from your specifications
Rule 8: Zombie repellant type abilities are nullified. Zombies can and will come after your characters. Through any means necessary.
Rule 9: You cannot gain powers, alter your abilities, or perform superhuman feats of any kind. No equipment can bestow powers upon you. The fighting is meant to be done by your team, not you.
Who's on your team? And how long do you think you'll survive?
