"If Superman became a Zombie..."

"If Superman became a Zombie..."

One of my friends in Facebook posted this particular question one day and I was intrigued by the possibiity. Of course it is preposterous to think of this scenario but there exists the possibility that this indeed may happen. A World War Z cross over perhaps? Now that both Man of Steel and World War Z are currently showing in theaters I really cannot help but wonder.

Point of Infection:

Given that he could reach any part of the world and assist in any crisis should he choose to do so there might be a time that he might be exposed to a Zombie virus.

I have said in an earlier post that Superman would not be infected by a bite or direct injection of this virus because he is invulnerable. The only way he could be infected is by the way of bodily fluids getting into his mouth or eyes. (He should wear goggles!)

Once Superman does get infected there might be a way for his Kryptonian DNA to respond however even if the Big Boy Scout's immune system is different I still believe that the Zombie virus will get him.

Global Threat: Extincion Level

Any way you look at it. Once Superman changes it will only be a matter of time before the end comes for us. Based on metabolic needs Superman would need to consume more humans than any other zombie in history.

Humans usually survive Zombie Attacks by driving away or hiding. How can you run away from a zombie who could actually fly toward you faster than a speeding bullet?  He could traverse Oceans and Miles and Miles of land like it were nothing. The answer is that No, you cannot outrun a Zombie superman.

How can you hide from a zombie who probably has the best sense of hearing? Or who can use x-ray vision to find you?(if it still works) He would even have the strenght to pry open underground bunkers should the need arise. The answer is you cannot hide from a Zombie superman.

In life the only way to defeat him was kryptonite.Since this is a rare substance  , most governments would have it under lock and key.It is therefore safe to assume that the common man would not have access to Kryptonite so they can counter

act an Undead superman.

Conclusion:

So in closing ,A flying zombie who's appetite will go beyond any known boundaries. We all know what that means. He would simply spell the extinction of Humanity as we know it. Plain and simple. Surrender to the Man of Steel. Death will be much quicker.
