Given the MCU’s family-friendly vibes, it’s hard to see the show sticking religiously to Kirkman’s vision: Marvel Zombies eventually sees Red Skull pulling Colonel America’s brain out, but thanks to the virus, said brain actually lives on… until it’s placed in Black Panther’s dead son to help fight against the zombie horde 40 years later.

That could blur the lines between hero and villain in some fun ways, but we’ll have to wait for the relevant What If…? episode to find out for sure. What’s slightly different about Marvel Zombies compared to most zombie media is that while the characters have the virus, they don’t become brain-dead slaves to it: they still have all their faculties, they just happen to also want to eat everyone they see. If What If…? follows that series to a tee, this minifigure should technically be called Zombie Colonel America – as was Steve Rogers’ rank in Marvel Zombies – but given his name across this summer’s merch seems to be Captain, it’s likely that Kirkman’s story will serve as inspiration rather than direct source material for the animated show. Set on an alternate version of our world, designated Earth-2149, the story involves Marvel heroes being infected with a virus that gives them ‘the hunger’. The most obvious place to begin is Marvel Zombies, a five-issue limited series penned by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman (staying firmly in his lane, to his credit) and drawn by Sean Phillips. Thankfully, there’s decades of comic book history to give us at least some insight into the potential background behind the MCU character.

At the time of writing, this flesh-eating version of Steve Rogers is yet to show up in Marvel’s alternate-reality animated series.
