The Apocalypse of the Undead lurks everywhere, including the DC Universe, but don’t worry, learn to survive from the experts.
By Alex Jaffe
A universally recognized truth of life and death in DC comics is that the deceased rarely stay like this forever. Often times, these reunions can be cause for celebration. But sometimes, well, the dead come back bad. And in the worst case, the dead come back all at once … and hungry.
It’s a caveat worth keeping in mind this season. But stay calm and resourceful, and we may get out of this together. After all, things like the Apocalypse of the Undead have happened before in the DC Universe. While non-living threats are not up to the mark of the Joker and the invaders of Apokolips in terms of frequency, it is something our heroes have some experience with. So, keeping in mind past encounters with the undead, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when facing a zombie attack.
This is the DC Universe guide to surviving the undead apocalypse
Don’t use the phone
If you’re reading this and are minimally concerned that there might be a zombie outbreak right now, drop it. Seriously. Turn off your phone, your laptop, everything that is connected to the Internet, and stay off until you are sure that the crisis is over. Because in DCeased, this is exactly how the Anti-Life virus gets you.
After Darkseid infected Cyborg with a deadly variant of the Anti-Life Equation, Cyborg returned to Earth and immediately devastated the planet by uploading the techno-organic virus to the internet … where everyone who saw him instantly became Anti-Life. . So while the internet age keeps us all closer than ever, all the news is bad when one glance at your screen can literally turn you into a zombie.
Take little luggage
If the undead fly in well-matched black uniforms, with power rings on their fingers, and feed on emotions rather than brains or blood, then you’ve got a Black Lantern bud on your hands. These demons can be tricky, but the Blackest Night crisis taught us with some trial and error how to take down a Black Lantern.
What you need to defeat a member of the Black Lantern Corps is the light of two other Lantern ring colors. One green, and the second at the customer’s choice. There are already about ten human Green Lanterns flying around, so taking down one shouldn’t be too difficult.
Escape from the prison of your flesh
When a plague of supernatural death is wiping out humanity, your best option may be to turn into something other than human. Since the beginning of life on Earth, the primordial forces of Green, aligned with plants, Red, aligned with animals, and Rot, aligned with death, have been competing through selected agents for control of the Earth. planet. The supreme victory of any of these powers is bad news for life as we know it, but the “Rotworld” scenario, in which death wins, is undoubtedly the worst of all.
But as we learn from the handful of surviving heroes in this dark potential future, when the force of death and decay knocks on your door, you are left with three viable options. You can embrace Red by surrendering to your animal nature, like Beast Boy. Or you can start with the plants, swapping the meat for the rind, like Poison Ivy. Or, and this is my favorite, to embrace transhumanism fully and load your consciousness into a robotic body, eliminating your participation in any of the competing forces for life and death, as Steel does here. The point is, zombies can’t eat your meat if you don’t have meat to give, and vampires can’t suck your blood if you don’t have blood to suck.
Kill the father
When it comes to a classic vampire attack, the exit is actually pretty straightforward. Unlike other varieties of monsters, the race of vampires is like a kind of pyramid scheme of the undead. If you eliminate one, you eliminate all the vampires it has converted. So really, to quickly end any unpleasant situation, all you have to do is kill a vampire – the common ancestor of all the vampires in question. Here’s how Andrew Bennett and the Justice League Dark take care of it in “Rise of the Vampires.” And whatever plan John Constantine agrees with can’t have any unforeseen downsides, right?
If you can’t beat them, eat them
Ok, none of the other tips on this list have worked for you and now you are a zombie. It is not ideal. But just because it’s the end of the world, it doesn’t mean it has to be the end of YOUR world. Both the Vertigo comic and the iZombie TV series offer instructive postmortem guides on how to maintain a relatively normal and satisfying life once you are among the undead.
Okay, you need to eat brains to survive. But there are ways to do it! Just because you now rely on cannibalism doesn’t mean you have to be a monster for it. With time, effort, and a strong support network of like-minded undead, you may find that life really begins for you once it’s technically over.
