I don't know what it infects, or how it infects people. Colossus was infected and he was pure metal.

"Among the dozen things that don't make sense to me about Marvel Zombies is why the zombies just nibble on other super-humans while they entirely consume normal people. And I don't get why normal civilians don't get infected, but normal heroes/villains do. Despite the hunger, why didn't any of them try to cure themselves? Zombie-Reed can dedicate himself to building a cross-dimensional portal, but he can't cure everyone? If not to cure himself, then at least so him and the other zombie-FF could cure and eat the other zombies. Why would all the zombies heroes be so ready, willing, and able to massacre every living thing on Earth? Why didn't any of them try to fight it? Why didn't any of them try to stop each other after getting infected? It was basically "I have to stop you zombie bastards no matter what! ::gets bit:: oh, ok." Why were all of the zombies still in one piece after Magneto dropped a barrage of exploding cars on them? Zombie-Hulk 'n the other heavy-weights I could understand coming out variably intact, but the others? And how is it that everyone except the Hulk broke their teeth trying to bite the Silver Surfer, but they were able to eat him just fine later?
Speaking of eating the Silver Surfer... how do you physically consume adamantium-like skin and energy? Why were the zombie-FF so concerned about getting the other zombies into the Ultimate universe? What happened to zombie-Sentry? And where is the Living Tribunal in all of this? While he'd likely allow the virus to be self-contained on one world, the virus spreading from one reality to another or the existance of the zombie-galacti are things he'd never allow to happen. And as I said, he exists in every reality simultaneously... he doesn't have alternate-reality selves, he literally exists in every reality at once. And like all the cosmic gods, he's aware of everything that happens in the universe. Or if not the Living Tribunal, then what of Eternity or Death? The virus would create an imbalance of life and death in the universe, they wouldn't like that. And just like Living Tribunal, they too exist in every reality simultaneously. The Cosmic hierarchy goes: One Above All > Living Tribunal > Eternity/Death/fully-fed Galactus > Lord Chaos/Master Order/Mistress Love/Sire Hate > Cosmic Cubes/Celestials/Watchers > Heralds/Phoenix Force/Enigma Force > Skyfathers > Other Gods. ::Note:: There's more, but I'm not listing everyone! lol.

"Uhm, well, since it's a different Marvel Universe, maybe the physics of their powers are different. Isn't Captain America called Colonel America there? That could also explain the continuity stuff. And maybe the zombie infection is just too much for Wolvie and Deadpool's healing factor. They're not indestructable."
Well Ultimate Thing did knock out zombie-Hulk with one punch, and Ultimate Doom was able to rip off zombie-Thing's arm, so those may prove that there were some power differences... or just bad writing. Silver Surfer didn't appear any weaker. He easily withstood a blow from zombie-Thor, and zombie-Wolverine couldn't cut him with his adamantium claws.
And yeah, maybe the healing factor's couldn't protect them from the virus since it seems to be magic-based.

they probably took a bite out of a super hero and that super hero just punched them and they went after someone else

the whole reed thing is like i read a summary saying

spoilers

that reed was "fascinated" with the zombies. Like they can survive without organs and all that so he wanted to become one and of course sue was mad but in the end she became one.

The thing i don't get is how come spiderman was able to hold off the virus until he got home when there are characters with amazing healing factor turned into a zombie in 2 seconds

DEADPOOL says:

"Here are other things I thought of... Why didn't Venom try to eat his symbiote? It appearantly didn't get infected. If the symbiote was dying since it's host is "dead," then why didn't it just leave Eddie for someone that was alive?"

probably because when venom became a zombie everyone else were dead

I think it comes down to the fact that marvel is hiring monkeys to write there stuff. I'm glad I didn't buy any of these zombie comics, and regret reading them at all. There are way too many continuity errors, why try to rationalize what we all know in our hearts? Marvel zombies was crap. The comic was a good idea, but the writers screwed it up. (But I'll admit the army of darkness/marvel zombies did make me laugh a bit)

"What I want to know is, where's Uatu during all this? That guy's the worst Watcher ever. He'd break his vow of only observing to pimp Tony Stark's ride if he could, yet he couldn't be bothered to help out the earth from getting eaten? Also, what does Odin think of his son becoming zombified? I mean, does he just not care either way, or is there some Godly law that prevents him from interfering? And I think they were able to eat Silver Surfer despite breaking their teeth because they don't feel pain... Wolverine and Deadpool couldn't rely on the Healing Factor because, as we've now learned, it's all caused by the NECRONOMICON!!!"

On the contrary, you found out it had nothing to do with the Necronomicon, and that they weren't, in fact, technically Zombies, it was magic based and something else entirely!

"DEADPOOL says:
"I don't know why it didn't dawn on me earlier, but... why didn't Galactus become a zombie? He was infected before he died."
hmmmn? the transformation was quite fast. did he die before the infection made it to his nervous system? (or what ever system it affects) "

How does an abstract entity have a nervous system? I'm just trying to picture Galactus in a big cosmic wheel chair lol

I didn't really understand how The Thing could be a zombie among other things... but otherwise, I don't think it was that big of a deal, it was amusing to me either way.

They would eat the super-humans but at least super humans were able to fight back... and escape spreading the virus.

And I don't get why normal civilians don't get infected, but normal heroes/villains do. 
 
they do...but the heros ate them so they never got the chance

Despite the hunger, why didn't any of them try to cure themselves? Zombie-Reed can dedicate himself to building a cross-dimensional portal, but he can't cure everyone? If not to cure himself, then at least so him and the other zombie-FF could cure and eat the other zombies. 
 
Ummm...read the comic...Reed didnt cure himself becuase he say it as the next step of evolution...plus the zombie hunger makes it so you cant think of anything but your next meal Reed became obsessed with finding more food...he didnt think to cure them

Why would all the zombies heroes be so ready, willing, and able to massacre every living thing on Earth? Why didn't any of them try to fight it? Why didn't any of them try to stop each other after getting infected? It was basically "I have to stop you zombie bastards no matter what! ::gets bit:: oh, ok." 
 
Because the virus puts you in so much hunger pains that you have to feed...you are cumpulsed too its a mental disease almost. 

Why were all of the zombies still in one piece after Magneto dropped a barrage of exploding cars on them? Zombie-Hulk 'n the other heavy-weights I could understand coming out variably intact, but the others? 
 
Cmon gambit had a car thrown at him and came out fine...its a comic book

And how is it that everyone except the Hulk broke their teeth trying to bite the Silver Surfer, but they were able to eat him just fine later?

They had to remove the surfers layer coating of silver...I belive wolverine was able to do it with his other arm when the surfer was dead 

Speaking of eating the Silver Surfer... how do you physically consume adamantium-like skin and energy?  

in this universe the surfer seemed to be fesh inside metal

Why were the zombie-FF so concerned about getting the other zombies into the Ultimate universe? 
 
More food for everyone

What happened to zombie-Sentry? 
 
dont know

And where is the Living Tribunal in all of this? While he'd likely allow the virus to be self-contained on one world, the virus spreading from one reality to another or the existance of the zombie-galacti are things he'd never allow to happen. And as I said, he exists in every reality simultaneously... he doesn't have alternate-reality selves, he literally exists in every reality at once. And like all the cosmic gods, he's aware of everything that happens in the universe. 
 
CMON...its just zombies, the living tribuneral only steps in on crysis's that reach beyond epic preportions...the zombie virus has only touched 3 other universe...not that epic by his standards

Or if not the Living Tribunal, then what of Eternity or Death? The virus would create an imbalance of life and death in the universe, they wouldn't like that. And just like Living Tribunal, they too exist in every reality simultaneously. 
 
Eternity and death... are forces of nature perhaps they were confused by the whole "I am living but I am dead" thing.

The Cosmic hierarchy goes: One Above All > Living Tribunal > Eternity/Death/fully-fed Galactus > Lord Chaos/Master Order/Mistress Love/Sire Hate > Cosmic Cubes/Celestials/Watchers > Heralds/Phoenix Force/Enigma Force > Skyfathers > Other Gods. ::Note:: There's more, but I'm not listing everyone! lol.

they are zombies.. they are decaying...so they are weaker

healing factors get overwhelmed by the zombie virus
