One day, there was a bright light in the sky above New York City. All the super-heroes gathered around to watch the spectacle crash into the dirty streets of NYC. Colonel America, one of the bravest of the heroes, took a bold step fore ward. The crowd, gathering around. What came next would shatter, and end the Marvel Universe, as they knew it. Storm and The Vision held back the crowds as a stringy haired man crawled from the rubble. His eyes glowed a bright yellow. His face covered in scratches and his costume almost burnt to a crisp. He was climbing up the crater when Colonel America thrust his hand fore ward for the man to grab.
The yellow eyed man-grabbed Colonel America's arm and sank his teeth into it, America letting out a blood-curdling scream. The heroes tore at the man but by then it was too late he was moving onto another. People ran. Children where pushed down amidst the chaos and forgotten. These former heroes, Storm, Spider-man, Cyclops, Col. America, Wolverine, where all turning into something…else as they where bitten. One by one the developed into a mere shadows of their former self. An on-looker, 21 year old Leon Redvine watched helplessly from behind a trashcan as a small child was devoured whole by Storm, of the X-men. Police officers where called in to try and stop it. But fighting Super-heroes, cannibal super-heroes that is, would be a task for half the U.S. Armed Forces. Leon turned to run but standing behind him was Wolverine, of the X-men. Leon could barley hear amongst all the screaming and chaos, but there was one sound that would haunt him forever. A hideous snarl, and a "sinkt"
Marc Specter, AKA Moon Knight, sat in his apartment room flipping through channels when one headline flashed across the screen:
"CHAOS!! SUPER HEROES TURNED ZOMBIES!!". Marc dropped the remote and ran into the small room behind him. After kneeling to the statue of his Egyptian god, he dawned the Moon Knight attire and dashed out of the Apartment. Before he leaped from the balcony the smell of rotting flesh, and blood hit him. Hard. There was a thunderous clap as he saw Giant man rise to greet him.
"Giant-man! What the hell is…Giant-man?" Marc stared at him as Giant-man's mouth opened to reveal gray and bloodstained teeth.
"Hello Marc"
Iron Man flew high over the city. After losing contact with Stark tower over 20 minutes ago, he was now examining the city. By now the plague had spread to D.C. and further. Or at least he called it the plague. Tony Stark's finger flipped a small switch on his suit.
"Calling all Avengers, X-men, Fantastic Four, anyone! Do you copy?" There was the faint mumble of something then static.
"Tony!" came the yell of Jessica Drew, Spider-Woman. She was standing on top of her apartment, arms waving for help. Iron Man flew down to her.
"Jessica! Thank god!" Iron Man laughed.
"What…the FUCK is going on??" She panted, her right hand hidden under a cloth. Tony Stark's eye was focused on her right hand, while to her it looked like the piercing yellow eyes of the armor where focused on her.
"Your Hand" Tony whispered. "You where bit?"
Jessica broke down in tears. Iron Man had never seen her like this. The tough and almighty Spider-Woman was breaking down before him. Would it only be a matter of time before the same happened to him?
"It…It was Spider-Man!! I tried to get a hold of him but he…" Jessica's hand wrapped around her right. She undid the bandage to reveal the bite marks. A huge portion of skin was gone, blood was dripping from her hand, giving her skin a crimson look. The rest of the area around the wound was turning gray.
