Zombie Physiology/Superior

Superior Zombie Physiology
Due to the Hunger Virus outbreak, the Metahumans of Earth-2149 (Marvel Comics) have turned into zombies with their previous powersets still intact.
Power/Ability to:	Be an empowered zombie.

The power to be an empowered zombie. Variation to Zombie Physiology and Superior Undead Physiology. Opposite to Mutated Zombie Physiology.

Also Called

• Advanced Zombie Mimicry/Physiology
• Empowered Zombie Physiology
• Metazombie/Neozombie/Superzombie Mimicry/Physiology
• Micromutated Zombie Physiology (Rational Only)

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, whether they almost dwarf the power of a zombie lord or not. They can also be much more intelligent than their regular predecessors, at least depending on their power sets.

Superzombies can also be divided into two categories:

Rational

Metazombies of this category gain their powers via evolution, genetic engineering, or exposed to radiation or biohazardous substances, like mutagens, or any other methods that involves genetic experimentation in that regard.

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 superzombies 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.
