Simultaneously, this reality's version of Ash, who had decided to fight the zombies, joins Dazzler. Ash bumps into Dazzler, who takes him to Doctor Strange's headquarters. On the ground, Punisher kills Thunderball, who is fending off his zombified Wrecking Crew allies, who then turn on Punisher. (In the prequel comic Marvel Zombies: Dead Days, it is revealed that Spider-Man is eventually 'consumed' by the zombification disease and kills and devours his loved ones.)Īsh then encounters the Punisher, who gives Ash a bag of spare weapons and shoots and presumably kills Kingpin, Hammerhead and the Owl.

Realizing Ash is right and that his body is fighting the infection, Spider-Man bluffs and says he wants to eat Ash and carries him off, only to abandon him when he goes to check on his Aunt May and wife Mary Jane. While Ash tells his side of the story to Spider-Man, Colonel America attacks and bites Spider-Man on the left shoulder, who seemingly drops Ash on the ground in front of some zombified Avengers. When Ash spots the now infected Avengers, he says he tried to warn them, and Spider-Man arrives and takes Ash off with a request from Colonel America. Scarlet Witch teleports Ash away, as Jarvis tells the team of a disturbance. They do not believe him, mostly due to his buffoonery while hitting on the female members of the team. He mistakes Daredevil for the villain, and after letting Thunderball escape, tries to warn the Avengers of a Deadite invasion. In this alternative version of the Marvel Universe known as Earth-2149, Ash encounters a fight between Daredevil and Thunderball.
