James emerged from the portal onto cracked asphalt. An arrow whistled toward his throat. Without looking, he incinerated it with heat vision, then bisected Zombie Hawkeye behind a wrecked car.
"Clint," he muttered, watching the archer's twitching remains.
No time for sentiment. The street fell silent, then countless red eyes locked onto him.
Zombie heroes: Captain America, bones jutting through his tattered suit; Wolverine, claws dripping flesh; Thing, rock skin mottled with corpse-spots.
"Roar!" Cap hurled his shield. James caught it, snapping his neck with a throw. A heat beam vaporized his head.
Wolverine lunged. "Rest, Logan." Heat vision sliced him in half, but his halves regenerated, crawling toward James.
"Annoying," James said, pinning him with telekinesis, guts writhing.
The Thing's hundred-ton fist swung. James's bio-field stopped it inches away. "Too slow." A whip-like kick sent him crashing through three buildings.
Zombie Human Torch dove, blue flames blazing. James's heat vision pierced his skull, dropping him as ash.
A deafening roar shook the sky. "Hulk! Smash!"
A green behemoth crashed down, rotting muscles rippling. James crossed his arms, blocking. The collision cratered the street, his bio-field containing the shockwave.
"Comic rules, huh?" James grinned at the snarling Hulk, acid saliva sizzling the ground.
Hulk swung again. James countered, fists clashing, blasting nearby zombies away. He floated up, unscathed, while Hulk smashed through a building, charging back.
"Mirror dimension," James said, hands weaving golden runes. Reality shattered, pulling the zombies into a warped realm where physics bent.
"Now we play," he said, cracking his neck.
Hulk's fist roared in. James met it, their blows shaking the dimension. Buildings crumbled in the wake. James dodged, heat vision carving a healing gash in Hulk's throat.
"Regeneration's a pain," James muttered, grinning. He unleashed his full strength, Kryptonian cells glowing gold. A punch sent Hulk flying kilometers, smashing through mirrored skyscrapers.
Hulk rebounded, grabbing debris. Zombie Spider-Man's webbing snared James's leg. A heat beam爆头 Spider-Man, while a leg chop bisected another zombie.
Hulk seized the moment, slamming James's back. James spun mid-air, his kick cracking Hulk's skull. "Roar!" Hulk grabbed for him, but James pinned his throat, smashing through buildings.
"Enough." James's eyes blazed gold. Solar Flare! White light erupted, charring Hulk's skin. Yet Hulk bit at his throat.
"Stubborn," James growled, ripping out Hulk's pulsing, black-veined heart. Hulk's eyes dimmed, a flicker of clarity—Banner—passing through. "Destroy… Reed's… lab…" he rasped, collapsing.
The mirror dimension crumbled, surviving zombies fading into smoke.
James stood in the void, holding the still heart. "Baxter Building next."
[Sir, coordinates locked, but anomalous energy detected,] Jarvis warned.
"No choice," James said, crushing the heart and opening a portal. "Time to see what Reed's been up to."
