MCU: 10 Comic Stories We Want To See In Marvel's What If...?

10. Marvel Zombies

Spider-Man: Far From Home gave us a tiny taste of Marvel Zombies in the MCU, with Mysterio’s illusions causing an undead Iron Man to rise from his grave and claw at Peter Parker. As cool as that was, it’s likely the only time we’ll ever see it happen on the big screen.

This is what makes the What If series so genius though; it allows Marvel to use their MCU versions of beloved characters in narratives that would never in a million years feature in their established arcs.

Although Marvel Zombies isn’t taken from the actual What If comic book, it’s still a storyline so far removed from both the MCU and Marvel’s core 616 universe that it really might as well be.

The story, written by The Walking Dead’s Robert Kirkman, features an unknown superhero crashing on Earth, infected by ‘Hunger’. The blood borne pathogen is passed on through biting, primarily, and soon spreads through the Avengers, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four.

What If might stick with just Avengers seeing as neither of the other two groups are established in the MCU so far, but that would still make for an amazing episode.
