Micromutated Zombie Physiology (Rational Only)
Meta Spawn Physiology (Marvel Comics)

Capabilities[]

The user of this ability is a zombie of superior power. Much like the rest of the empowered races, metazombies are much stronger than regular zombies all thanks to having superpowers, and they tend to be more difficult to dispatch, at least depending on what powers they possess. They tend to be much more intelligent than regular zombies, though some superior zombies can be described as nothing more than an unthinking juggernaut.

The superior zombies with intelligence may become an alpha undead, lording over other zombies and/or other types of undead. A high zombie can grow to control and lead countless deathless souls that can swarm over countries, if not continents, and pester the living into unliving submission.

Superzombies can also be divided into two categories:

Rational

Metazombies of this category gain their abilities via evolution, genetic engineering, or exposure to radiation or biohazardous substances, like mutagens, or any other methods that involve genetic experimentation. In one way or another, certain superzombies that are of this classification will have minor physical changes, like having retractable claws or spikes, and among others. In fact, these kinds of empowered zombies will be able to possess powers without their physiology being altered.

Irrational

Non-scientific super zombies gain their powers by being given them, enchantment, blessing, granted wishes, etc., without bio-engineering based alternatives. Unlike scientific-based superzombies, this category of metazombies wouldn't have to be able to suffer mutations and instability of their DNA, which can be caused in certain specific ways. Unlike rational based metazombies they are more likely to maintain their respective physiology because they don't share the same genetic unpredictably that rational-based superzombies are more likely to have.

Genetic-based abilities may become unstable and cause unwanted mutations. In worse cases, they would become a monstrous mutant if they aren't treated.

- Supernatural Hunters might be able to kill the superzombies with ease.
- Those with Magic or especially Necromancy, Dark Arts to Voodoo would might be able to control metazombies.
- Normal, Flawless or Absolute Restoration, or Resurrection can restore individuals from being empowered zombies.
- They might still be slow and/or clumsy.
