American Comics: Starting with Zombie Iron Man

Chu Cheng transmigrated into Marvel eight years ago. He had just turned Hammer Industries into the top weapons manufacturer and was getting ready to retire when he discovered that, after returning from the Middle East, Tony Stark hadn't gone on to develop armor. Instead, he'd gone insane and bitten Pepper Potts!

The bad news: This is a branch of the What If...? Zombie Universe, where every hero has mutated, and the universe has less than two years left on its countdown.

The good news: Chu Cheng is an ordinary man with no superpowers, but he can see points where time branches, and OAA has certified his soul as immune to infection.

"If we can't beat them, then before the superheroes mutate, we'll trick them all into cryo pods!"

The Director: Why did he start developing anti-zombie armor five years early?

Chu Cheng: Don't ask. Let's just say I'm paranoid and always feel like you people are going to bite me.
