• Non Sequitur Scene: Two appearances of Captain Mexica (an Aztec version of Cap), that were never mentioned again.
• Broken Base: Fans are divided as to the quality of this series. The first series is generally regarded as excellent, but Your Mileage May Vary on everything else.
• Complete Monster: All of the zombies succumb to their hunger and do despicable things because of it, but Giant Man especially seems to enjoy it. He even admits that, even if he's cured, he still thinks he'd keep eating human flesh.
  • Not to mention the fact that after being bitten but before becoming a zombie, he starts preparing for the hunger by capturing his friend Black Panther and keeping him trapped to use as a food source.
• Fridge Brilliance: In the "Marvel Werewolves" reality that Ash gets sent to at the end of the Army of Darkness crossover, he's dropped into New York right as the werewolves are devouring Galactus. However, in this group, Iron Man has been quietly replaced by Black Widow, presumably because as a werewolf, he couldn't fit into his suit and thus had nothing special going for him.
• Fridge Horror: Zombie Morbius impersonates the real Morbius for about two weeks. His disguise? A latex mask and gum to keep it in place. Now, even in the comic, it was kinda obvious that there was a noticible difference between the real Morbius, who looks pretty ugly because he's a Butt Monkey, and zombie Morbius, who looks even worse because he's an zombie and a Butt Monkey. In that two week span, didn't anyone notice that Morbius looked a little different? Or maybe notice the smell a walking corpse must have made? Or that he looked uglier than usual? Or that his body temperature was a little colder than usual? The horror comes in when you realize that for no one to notice, Morbius, even "normal" Morbius, must be really, really ugly and smelly and cold for no one to notice that a freaking zombie replaced him!
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Marvel has always said that the Ultimate & mainstream universes won't Crossover, as it would show that they had run out of ideas. The Marvel Zombies were introduced in the Ultimate universe, and then wound up crossing over with the mainstream universe during a Fantastic Four arc (from when Storm and Black Panther were replacing Reed and Sue), and Marvel Zombies 3 was about the Zombies trying to invade the mainstream universe.
• Holy Shit Quotient: If overpowering and consuming the freaking Galactus like they did in the first series doesn't constitute as one, we don't know what does.
• Squick: Wasp and Reynolds (not the Sentry, but one of the Acolytes) fall in love. Okay. They eventually share a kiss. Okay. But one little detail: she's a zombie.
  • In Marvel Zombies Return Spidey, due to some not better-specified "muscle memory", ends up using his veins and arteries as webbing.
• Wangst: Spider-Man is tormented by his status as a zombie, especially since the two people he ate first were Mary Jane and Aunt May, which consumes him with guilt. Although his torment annoys his companions, who view it as this trope, unlike the others it's what makes him the only zombie to really retain at least some semblance of his former humanity besides Doctor Doom, and aids his eventual Heel Face Turn and redemption.
  • Though he seems to cast it aside for a moment when he devours J. Jonah Jameson:

I'm going to enjoy this!
