10 Insane Alternate Versions Of Captain America You Won't Believe Exist
7. Marvel Zombies
Marvel Comics
The Marvel Zombies are, somewhat bizarrely, a beloved spin-off from Marvel Comics. Masterminded by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and drawn by Sean Phillips, the Zombies of the Marvel Universe are something of an inter-dimensional plague, crossing from universe to universe to satiate their ever growing appetite.
The main difference, apart from the obvious fact that this version of Steve is a zombie, is that he's a colonel in this universe. On top of the change in rank, Colonel America also served a brief term as President of the United States. (Eat your heart out, Ultimate Steve Rogers.)
The Steve Rogers of Earth-2149 was also banished to Earth-Z which, as you may have guessed already, is the Marvel Universe's zombie homeworld. The character is presumed to have perished now as well, so True Believers can sleep soundly in the fact that they won't have to worry about this particular colonel hopping across the cosmos in search of a new meal.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
