Marvel Zombies custom made sculptures


These aren't going to be buyable at your local comic or hobby store, but are rather custom made Marvel Zombie sculptures made out of official toys from such series as Spawn (Thor), WWE (Namor), Cynder (Ms. Marvel/Warbird), Bizarro (Moon Knight), and others. Pretty cool, aren't they?

Marvel Characters - Silver Surfer

The Silver Surfer is one of the more powerful super heroes, though he wasn't born that way. His home world is Zenn-La, and while young, he hungered for a more exciting life. Within time, an alien entity known as Galactus, an evil planet eater, was approaching his home world. Galactus agreed to spare their world, only if Norrin Radd (his real name) would search for other worlds for the evil giant to engulf.

Galactus then transformed Norrin's skin into a silver colored material, and crafted a board which Norrin would be able to use to trek the universe in search for planets. Galactus also made it to where the Surfer wouldn't care for life, and thus when the Silver Surfer found planet Earth, he notified his master.

Once he arrived on our planet, he noticed that others, most notably the Fantastic Four, were filled with benevolence toward each other. Not only that, but he also saw their courage, and how they wished and did good to save others. Once this happened, his emotions that he felt prior came back, and vowed to do good. However, Galactus was already coming to devour Earth. Thankfully, Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic of the Fantastic Four, created a weapon that scared Galactus off, though not before trapping the Silver Surfer on Earth, never allowing him to leave.

Despite being safe on Earth, the Silver Surfer desired to once again travel through space. Knowing this, Richards found a way to allow him pass the barrier that Galactus had made, and he was once again able to travel the universe. On many occasions, however, he has returned back to our planet.

Jessica Alba wants to do Fantastic Four 3.

Jessica Alba, the actress who's played Sue Storm in both Fantastic Four films, just told MTV that she'd like to do a third film, and said she'd love to see Franklin (Susan and Reed's son in the comic) in the film as well. Sadly, neither films have been outstanding, though thankfully the second surpassed the first, thanks to the Silver Surfer.

Marvel Characters - The Thing

The Thing is part of the Fantastic Four, and has incredible strength. During the drastic crash that would change all four people's lives for ever, Ben Grimm (the real name of The Thing) seemed to have had the most dramatic change in appearance - While everyone looked virtually the same in their regular form, Ben Grimm always looks like a large orange walking rock mass.

For a long time, Grimm trusted in Reed Richard (the man who created the ship), who promised that he could find a cure to his appearance.

Very few characters in the Marvel universe have such a popular and well known appearance as The Thing.

Ultimate Thing
In the alternate Marvel universe known as the Ultimate Universe, the Thing, as most other Marvel characters, make an appearance in a large way. In the series, Ben was Reed's friend as a child, and in turn for helping him study, Ben kept Reed safe from bullies. He became The Thing once Victor (Dr. Doom) changed the coding to a machine that would transport an apple to a different city. He made a miscalculation, and a mistake was made when the four of them were near. They were all transported to different areas in the world, and their abilities were soon revealed.

Marvel Characters - Invisible Woman

Susan Storm Richards is one of the most valuable Fantastic Four members as she can 1. Turn invisible, 2. Generate a force field around her or others, and even 3. Fly through the air by projecting force fields underneith her. She became the Invisible Woman after, along with her brother Johnny Storm, her husband Reed Richards, and friend Ben Grimm, got exposed to cosmic radiation while trying to travel to different solar systems. Ultimately their plan failed, though they did obtain amazing powers which would greatly help them save humanity.

Soon after marrying Reed, she became pregnant, and then gave birth to their first child, Franklin Richards.

Later on in following those events, Reed was seemingly killed by Doctor Doom, and Susan took his place as leader of the Fantastic Four. During this time, Namor, the Sub-Mariner, was rejected by Susan after trying to go out with her.

Later on, when it was found that Reed was still alive, the two of them got together once again, and Reed took over the team.

Marvel Characters - Human Torch

The Human Torch (Johnny Storm) is one of the members of the Fantastic Four, and is the brother to Susan Storm Richards. He has the ability to engulf his body in flames by will without being burned, and can also fly by using his fire as a boost.

He became the Human Torch after, along with Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Susan Storm (Invisible Woman), and Ben Grimm (The Thing). However, the trip went awry - The cosmic radiation drastically effected the ship, and they had to turn around. Once they arrived back on Earth, the whole team found out that they had super power abilities, Johnny's obviously being fire.

The Human Torch is assumingly named after the Marvel hero of the 40's of the same name. His trademark quote is "flame on!", which he bellows every time he goes in flames.

Marvel Characters - Mr. Fantastic

Mr. Fantastic (real name Reed Richards) is one of the first super heroes that Marvel created in the sixties when they decided to create superhero comics once again. He's the leader of the Fantastic Four, and has the ability to shapeshift - most notably being able to stretch to great lengths.

As a child, Reed was able to show off his brilliance when it came to solving math problems, and doing mechanics and physics.

At college, he met many people that would make a dramatic impact on his life. First is Victor Von Doom, who was Richard's roomate. Doom hated Reed the moment he met him, and requested to get a different roommate. Victor would later in life become the Fantastic Four's greatest enemy as Doctor Doom. Reed's next roommate was Benjamin Grimm, who would later be known as The Thing.

In college, Reed came up with a ship that would be able to travel to different solar systems. Once he transferred to Columbia University, he rented a room who's landlord had a daugter named Susan Storm. Susan ended up falling in love with Reed, and they eventually got married. Beyond that, Susan Storm is Invisible Woman, and her brother, Johnathon Storm, is the Human Torch.

He turned into a super hero once he, Ben, Susan, and John went into the ship he designed, the cosmic radiation that resulted was too much for them, and they had to turn back. The radiation ended up giving each of the people their amazing powers.

MORE COMING SOON!
