Survive Zombie Nation!

You start in Los Angeles, California. You're the only surviving human with a known immunity to the zombie virus in your area. Everyone else has been infected with the 28 Days later zombie virus (these zombies are fast, vicious, and attack in packs). You have to travel to New York, where there is an underground bunker with survivors who need your DNA to create vaccines. You get to choose a team of heroes to protect you on your trek to New York. All vehicles have been destroyed. You must survive at all costs!

Which team do you choose and why?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Punisher and Wolverine

Gambit and Captain America

Iron Fist and Luke Cage

Blade and Spider-Man

I see the most effective being team 3.

But I see team 2 being really fun with gambit charging cap's shields then it just popping zombies.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Team 3. Luke is the key factor.

Id give him a parking meter and no zombie would survive

Are we assuming the non-healing heroes are immune to the virus as well?

It would suck for Gambit to go zombie half-way through the trip.

You may think that Gambit's team is at a disadvantage since no member is immune, however you must consider that Gambit probably has the best crowd-control powers as well as range attacks combined with Captain America's top-notch strategic and tactical prowess.

Also, you must factor that you guys must find food, shelter as well throughout your journey.

This is gonna be a tough quest...regardless of the team you pick. I think every team has certain advantages and disadvantages.

Oh team 1 for sure! Frank blowing zombie heads left and right and Logan cutting them to pieces. Ill survive no problem. Add Deadpool into the mix and its gonna be fun even.

Blade and Spidey.

I assume Blade would be immune so he's on his own to clear a path or whatever and Spidey can carry me on his back as he swings from building-to-building.

still gonna go with Spidey and Blade, the zombies are pretty much human and have average stats. They can't keep up with 30ft jumps.

Plus, whenever Spidey/Blade get tired, Spidey can get us to a tall building or other place out of reach to the dead-folk.

The obvious choice is team 1. Punisher with his standart gears and Wolverine aka "The Killing Machine", I'd make it easely.

Considering the amount of ground that has to be covered, I'd choose Spider-man and Blade. Either of them is strong enough to carry a human pretty effortlessly, and both are very agile, so in major cities we'd be able to stick to rooftops, and if we took the route through the plains they can cover the ground rather quickly. Also Spider-man has the ability to web me up out of harms way should we reach somewhere where he and Blade are forced to fight, as well as Blade using guns so I'd likely be able to be armed myself.

To me, it's not really about the speed you cover ground, it's more so about what will happen once you get ambushed/surrounded. Spidey is the only person on the list who would be capable of getting you out of danger quickly. Sure, Wolverine, Gambit and even Punisher can clear a path, but what happens when the numbers start to pile up and they're busy killing zombies?... you're left to fend for yourself and you'd eventually run out of ammo or simply become overwhelmed.

with gambit, would you ever get overwhelmed?

hard to say, does he only get standard gear? I don't see how he'd be able to do much if zombies are coming from all directions. If he charges the ground, you'd probably get caught in the blast which would defeat the entire purpose of the challenge.

also, gambit doesn't really need much gear...anything is potentially a weapon for him (ie loose change, cards, rocks, pencils, etc) and since they are journeying across America...there will be plenty of items he can stockpile along the way.

then i am going to say non of them who i would want on my side is Doctor Strange and Jaime Madrox on my side
