Undead superhero character question

[tecnowraith]

wow this has grow in feedback and thanks for the help. The reason why I ask this I wanted to create an undead (or close to one) superhero fo an Aberrant game. I just wasn't sure what types of power I give him or why became what he is. I wanted to to see all the other undead hero to get a better idea. Right I am wnadering if any of them used firearms? I know the crow, ghost (dark horse I think and The Punisher (the marvel knights version) which is another undead marvel character that came back. Any others that uses firearms?

How about the Gunwitch?

There was a five issue series of a book called Shadow Reavers a couple years ago (first advertised here, as it had some d20 tie-ins). A couple of the characters may or may not have been undead (we never learned for certain, but Exile and Helen both seemed to have some ties to undead.)

Completely slipped my mind until now, but one of the main characters- the savior of the world- is killed and her ghost bonded to the body of her younger sister.

Red Skull (the Captain America villain) is a good example of what not to list, since despite having a red skull, he's neither undead or possessed of super-powers.

I'm pretty sure the Atlas Grim Ghost used ghostly flintlock pistols (not sure about the DC version) and The Haunted Tank was a, well, haunted tank.

If the new Crimson Avenger and Terror, Inc are undead, there are two more. I'm also pretty sure I saw a picture of Doc Frankenstein holding a gun of some kind. Maybe the Ultraverse Ghoul, too.

Ok Grim Ghost is an old version of Spawn....

Speaking of Blade, in the old Tomb Of Dracula series, Hannibal King was a good, vampire hunting vampire (he lived on animal and corpse blood). Of course, he didn't wear a costume, so I'm not sure he counts as a superhero.

Hannibal King is great. When I stopped collecting comics, the only ones I bothered to keep were the ones with him in them. It's really too bad they de-vamped him for Blade 3, the struggle was a lot of what defined him. Of course, explaining an alchoholic, non-blood drinking vampire who fights the good fight may have totally stolen the show.

Funny thing. I like the Blade movies, but I always despised Blade in the comics. I kept hoping they'd off him in the Nightstalkers and let King and Drake continue on. Bastards did just the opposite.

From DC, there's also The Weird (a corpse animated by an alien entity) and a team of ghosts whose name I can't remember. I think they wore brown jumpsuits with a skull on the chest. Ghost Patrol, maybe?

There was also a DC hero whose power was to summon and merge with the ghost of his dead brother, too.

Yes, that's the Ghost Patrol.

The guy who could merge with his dead brother was probably the Golden Age Captain Triumph.

Now, ghosts... man, there are a lot of ghost superheroes. Deadman, for one. You might consider The Spectre a type of ghost. Hawkman's enemy The Gentleman Ghost (?) may or may not have been a real ghost. Starman's brother David came back as a ghost. The Golden Age had a lot more undead types, such as the Gay Ghost, Madame Satan, etc.

Don't Forget Captain Scarlet, from Gerry Anderson's old and new TV series.

Um I don't think so.... :\, He's a clone, not looking for clones. Try again.
