Just connected some dots between a couple of things on Facebook.... led me to a cool twist for exploration....

Super heroes versus zombies.

Just let that idea sink in for a bit.

Ok, enough sinking.

There are a couple of ways this could work.

- Have a real super hero with super powers, trying to save humanity from the zombie scourge.

- Kick-ass / Mystery Men style, ordinary people using super-hero styling as part of their zombie defence.

Both have potential.

My recent zombie-lore observations have led me to include a trip to a motorbike shop in my ZSP (Zombie Survival Plan). I live in the tropics, but consider coverage to be a critical element in protection - shorts and t-shirt may be comfortable, but will really just make for a comfortable corpse. Motorbike leathers seem a reasonable way to minimise exposure to teeth, nails and whatever other weapons the re-living may throw my way. Would leathers stand up under relentless attack? Not sure.... would certainly be better than shorts and a t-shirt! And considering that the circumstances most likely to test that idea are cinematic rather than apocalyptic, it is really a cool idea that I can take a chance on. Needless to say, the trip to the motorbike shop would be fair to write into the script for any budding zombie-slaying super hero. There may be room within this idea to attempt to debunk my own theory, and address the dilemma of comfort in heat versus protection from being eaten raw.
