Steven Rogers, later known as Colonel America and formerly Captain America, is a major antagonist in the superhero horror comic series Marvel Zombies. He is responsible for Spider-Man's infection, and half responsible for the infection of Wolverine. He is also indirectly responsible for Reed's insanity, as Colonel America infected She-Hulk.
Biography[]
The Infection[]
Colonel America is one of the first heroes to be infected by the zombie plague. He and the other Avengers then decide to attack the citizens due to the hunger. However, not long after they start, Colonel America tells the Avengers to stop as there may be a cure and tells them to return to Avengers Mansion. However, once they arrive, they are taken by the hunger yet again and devour Jarvis. Soon Giant-Man arrives and the Avengers tell him that they're giving up the fight.
Colonel America is later seen infecting Wolverine with Hawkeye's help. He is soon whacked by cars, courtesy of Magneto. Colonel America makes 2 cameo appearances in Ultimate Fantastic Four, twice during Reed's flashback, and again when Ultimate Reed is captured, telling the others to run from the raining cars, again, courtesy of Magneto. After Magneto destroys the dimensional gateway, Colonel America offers him a chance to die peacefully.
Not only does Colonel America miss out on eating Magneto, but half his brain is destroyed by his own shield. Colonel America does manage to eat the Silver Surfer, but he fails to eat Galactus because Red Skull ripped out his brains. Spider-Man avenges him shortly after, which is ironic as Colonel America was the zombie who infected him.
40 Years Later[]
Colonel America is somewhat revived when his brain is placed in the body of Black Panther's deceased son. However, Colonel America's previous hunger for flesh is replaced by a hunger for battle. However, through these acts, Colonel America is able to redeem himself. It is unknown what happened to him after he was sent to Earth-Z, but it can be assumed he was killed with the other zombies in previous battles that led to humanity's extinction in that reality.

Trivia[]
- Due his death at the hands of Red Skull, Colonel America is the sole Cosmic Zombie who never managed to eat Galactus nor made it out of Earth to devour countless worlds with Galactus' powers.
- Colonel America is one of the overarching villains of the metaseries due to personally infecting Spider-Man, She-Hulk, and Wolverine (alongside Hawkeye), which causes him to be indirectly responsible for the latter 3's actions, such as the insanity of Mr. Fantastic due to She-Hulk eating his and Sue's children, the infection of the Fantastic Four, who later infected Iron Man, Thor, and many others.
