since I watched the "Walking Dead" I was thinking about using this theme in a HU game.
The characters have to prevent the spreading of the Dead disease. They can fight hords of zombies and undead superheros and villains. Think about a zombie with the super power invulnarability
![Demon :demon:](./images/smilies/demon.gif)
. They can save living people and bring them to savety. They could find a cure to the disease, etc.
Has anybody played such a game

Could someone who is invulnerable get the undead disease? However a Zombie that can fly would ruin all of my plans. Or a Zombie with supernatural strength and IQ Would be really tough as well.
I'd worry more about one with super-speed, that's how Marvel had their 'Marvel Zombies' go, with one of many wallbangers being Quicksilver getting infected then promptly infecting every other super on the planet he could find within minutes making containment impossible (and pretty much setting up a downer ending for the setting which is something I despise so have never read an issue of it).
That's not the ending, that's the setup! It doesn't end with zombie apocalypse but starts after it, with few heroes and villains alive.
Black Panther is mother flipping insane in it and reminds me why he's one of my favorite Marvel characters. Since his arm and leg was amputated, he walks around using walking stick, right? He carries under his armpit a seperated zombie head he tosses at the acolytes, then rams his walking stick into the stump and beats everyone in sight with it!
Also since beings like Hulk, Thanos and Juggernaut were also turned zombie, I'd say invulnerability wouldn't save against zombieness. Immunity to dissease MAY be the only way but even then, all you'd be is snack to everyone. It may actually be even worse alternative.

Beings like Spiderman and some other who had alterned metabolism had the virus take longer time to take full effect but even they turned. (Spiderman killed Aunt May and Mary Jane) In short, there's no way to stop you from becoming a zombie, unless you're 100% robot or otherwise not really alive being. Doom was infected too but it took long time for him too (he was able to save everyone) probably due to the machines in his suit. But yeah, unless you're just brain of Cyborg or total robot, you'll be turned.
You don't have to read the whole comic but read this fun commentary and see the pics from it and the screencaps. I especially love the "Oh, goddammit. I totally forgot that arrowheads are made of metal. Why, I could just kick myself! You ever have one of those days?" which is so true since there's seriously no way Hawkey should have been able to hit Magneto.
