Marvel Studios introduced Phase 6's first villain team in the form of horrifying zombies. Marvel Zombies continued the story that began in What If...? Season 1, Episode 5, where the Avengers were defeated by a virus that transformed most heroes and villains on Earth into flesh-eating zombies. Although most of Earth's Mightiest Heroes were gone, a ragtag group of survivors led by Ms. Marvel and Shang-Chi was still fighting to survive against Scarlet Witch (aka the Queen of the Dead) and her army of the undead.
Scarlet Witch in Marvel Zombies makes her far more formidable than her live-action counterpart; she controls the minds of her zombie army to do her bidding and uses them as puppets to help her achieve her goal of total world domination. Wanda Maximoff's army in the R-rated MCU series is composed of an unusual lineup of heroes and villains.
Every Member of Scarlet Witch's Villain Team in Marvel Zombies
Scarlet Witch
As the Queen of the Dead, the Scarlet Witch serves as the supreme leader of her undead army. Wanda Maximoff's goal is to retrieve the power of the Infinity Stones (from Infinity Hulk) to reshape reality, which is why she wanted Kamala Khan and her powers as a way to channel that power.
Wanda's hex is instrumental in cementing her full might, not just with the undead, but also with the living. She was able to convince Valkryie and a plethora of Asgardians that she was not a zombie by using her magic, proving how dangerous a threat she was in the series.
Okoye
Okoye served as the Scarlet Witch's lieutenant and primary enforcer, mimicking her role in Wakanda as Black Panther's trusted general.
Okoye was instrumental in helping Wanda convert as many stray zombies as possible into part of the undead army while also ensuring that the Queen of the Dead's goal remained on track for success.
Abomination
An unexpected member of Scarlet Witch's villain team is the Abomination. As the newfound muscle of the Queen of the Dead's army, the Abomination's imposing figure was key to turning the odds in Wanda's favor during the final battle.
While the villain was already dangerous in his usual self, Abomination's threat level was raised even further due to Wanda's mind control and his uncontrollable rage.
Captain America
Originally serving as the leader of the Avengers, Captain America (Steve Rogers) turned into a half-bodied and mindless zombie under the Scarlet Witch's control in Marvel Zombies. The fact that he was still dangerous even though he only had half a body indicated that one couldn't put a good soldier like Steve Rogers down.
Hawkeye
Another member of the original Avengers who became part of Scarlet Witch's undead army is a zombified Clint Barton (aka Hawkeye).
What made Hawkeye even more dangerous in Marvel Zombies was that he managed to retain his expert marksman skills with his bow and arrow, which were effective in incapacitating survivors and later turning them into part of the undead.
Ghost
Ghost (Ava Starr) unexpectedly turned to the dark side in Marvel Zombies by joining Scarlet Witch's undead army (thanks to Wanda's mind control). She retained her quantum phasing ability, which proved deadly for Red Room agents in Episode 1.
While she was skilled in using swords, Ghost was no match when she came face to face with Blade Knight in a duel that led to her tragic fate.
Hank Pym
In this zombie-infested world, Hank Pym became the second victim of the virus after he tried to help his wife, Janet van Dyne, while inside the Quantum Realm. A zombified Hank uses his Pym Particles to turn into Giant-Man and eliminate as many survivors as he can. Hank also utilized the particles to turn small and infect unknowing victims and "recruit" them to be part of Wanda's army.
Janet van Dyne
Marvel Zombies' patient zero is none other than Janet van Dyne. The character was infected with the virus while she was in the Quantum Realm, and the series confirmed that she was still not killed in What If...? as she was part of the Queen of the Dead's army in the final battle against Infinity Hulk and the remaining survivors.
Similar to Hank Pym, Janet also utilized the Pym Particles to her deadly advantage, changing sizes as she deemed fit to infect and kill survivors with ease.
