we should all be a little bit afraid

Peter Parker was bit by a radioactive spider which was supposed to have mutated his DNA(as we know radiation and other factors can induce mutation in living things).

I think that story may have been retconned, tho. Not entirely certain. :whistle2:
 
I think it has been retconned several times, but that is the version of his origins that sticks out as standard.
 
And yeah I figured the spider was mutated and not regular, obviously, how else would he have gotten those uber cool abilites of his.
I'm pretty sure that's the original backstory from the first comic "Amazing Fantasy Vol. 1 # 15".

Can't believe I just quoted all that.

I've heard of a bone marrow transplant curing AIDs, but never knew donating bone marrow was painful. :grin:

That gave me a good chuckle
 
DONT RUIN MINE AND LEWIS' ZOMBIE SURVIVAL PLANS. GODDDDD
 
Wouldn't they die of starvation or malnutrition within a couple of months at best? :hmmm: After a day or two without food and water, they'd be incapable of killing someone, and even in numbers, they'd be very easy to take down.

Not if they had a healthy supply of fresh brains to consume.
And zombies are supposed to be reanimated corpses so in theory, wouldn't that make them impervious to common ailments and conditions such as starvation and malnutrition?
 
I don't think they really need to digest the food, so they don't need to die of hunger. They are undead so they eat mainly for the pressing urge and hunger (or desire) to eat, and not so much to sustain its existence as we would. A zombie which lacks a stomach or intestines may still snap its jaws, and still live until its head is smashed to pieces.

A zombie head that is just a head, and somehow still 'alive', may also snap its jaws and eat things given the chance, yet it wouldn't have a body to digest the food with. It just has the urge to chomp things with its mouth.

Even if it ate brains/bodies it would not be able to break them down and absorb them effectively. It's body will decay because there is know nutrition or blood flow, it will never heal from any wound either
 
i think that whole zombie starvation thing is a misconception from 28 days later, which weren't actually zombies, but humans infected with a heightened amount of rage.
 
But even zombies in old films would bleed when struck. And not just a little. Copiously. Doesn't that prove that zombies, whether through virus or reanimation, require the basic bodily functions of a human being?
