Ms Marvel is actually Patient Zero, not Sentry.
Moonstone/Ms Marvel is having sex with every single sapient/near-sapient entity in Marvel. The amalgamation of every STD in the known Marvel Universe will be brought together onto one single body and give way to something far worse. Alas, poor Sentry picked the absolute wrong spot to appear on "Ms Marvel's to do" list. He catches the virus and meanwhile in space he turns. The rest has been foretold.

Patient Zero is not actually Sentry, but Superman
DC Zombies. Nuff said.

Marvel Zombies is the result of Superboy Prime's punching time
The reverberations from his temporal Wangst were so far reaching that they managed to merge fragments of the old EC universe with that of the alternate earth from which the zombified Sentry originated.

Zombie Deadpool isn't really a zombie
Deadpool is well known for not playing with a full deck, so, while strolling in the park one day, Wadie notices that other super-guys are starting to go all Night of the living dead. Not wanting to be left out, grabs the closest person to him, who turns out to have been infected. While chomping down on his little snack, a piece of flesh is caught in his teeth, and he is covered in blood/gore. And there you go, a clinically insane man is convinced that he is a zombie. But wait, what about the whole zombie mutilation thing? It is possible that his healing factor is not automatic, so if he thinks he's a zombie, there is no need to heal. Add pretty bow here.
  • Deadpool has lived through decapitation before, albeit with slight Drain Bamage.
  • Given how Deadpool Kills Deadpool ended, this is entirely possible. He convinced himself he was a zombie and BAM! zombie Deadpool.

Frank West will stop the zombies.
He's covered Civil Wars you know.
  • Needs to be canon for Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
  • It could only be cooler if he teamed up with Chuck Greene to take them down.
    • Well, damn. Look at his ending in Ultimate MVC 3. Reed Richards sends him in for exactly that!

The zombified Sentry came from the universe of Marvel VS Capcom 3
  • Here's the thought- we know Sentry punched his way into the Marvel Zombies universe from another one, already being infected. This infection is actually a heavily mutated form of the Uroborous Virus perfected by Albert Wesker by experimenting on the Marvel superheroes of his universe (as seen in his ending from Marvel vs. Capcom 3). Sentry escapes and punches his way into this reality, leading to all that follows.

The Hunger Gospel Virus deliberately avoided turning the Richards' children
  • Because it feared them. Franklin's power could easily be used against it, maybe one of the only things that could hurt or even destroy it, were he to have islands of sanity like the others did. Valeria's cold practical genius might have kept her from succumbing entirely, again threatening the virus should she turn her mind to stopping it. That is why it sent She-Hulk to deal with them, an 'aunt' with access they would trust implicitly, and who probably had the worst of it—a Hulkish hunger with no alternate form to change back to (if her identity was sealed as in the mainstream). To the extent it could, the virus guided Jen to make sure she killed the kids first before eating them.

If there would be a Marvel Zombies 6, the Comic Book!Big Hero Six would be involved
  • As survivors.
    • Unlikely, given that Marvel has entirely stopped using the Big Hero 6 characters in the Marvel Universe in favor of letting Disney do their own thing with them.
    • Good point. Still, the original comic book Big Hero 6 still has a sizable enough fanbase, enough for a cult following at least. So even if it's unlikely, that does not equal impossible if a fanbase increases thanks to curious fans of the animated movie checking out the comic book source material out of curiousity.

Alternatively, if there is a Marvel Zombies 6, it will turn out to be one big reference to Seal Team Six, the real-life team sent in to kill Osama Bin Ladin.
Bonus points if the title is Marvel Zombies: Seal Team Six.
  • And one of the zombies that the Marvel Zombiverse's version of Seal Team Six will fight against will be a zombie Osama Bin Ladin.
    • It would be one big parody of old propaganda comics.

The Hunger Gospel Virus also deliberately avoided Magneto.

The Hunger Gospel Virus intentionally sent The Thing to attack Dr. Doom.

There will eventually be a Marvel Zombies Vs. Hack/Slash comic.

The cosmic powers the zombies gained faded with time or were lost as a result of being sent to another dimension.
It's telling that neither Spiderman, Wolverine, or even Giant Man use them either to save themselves or even in the final battle against one another.
  • Furthermore after being sent to a dimension Spider-Man can't use his cosmic powers, with Spider-Man theorizing that it was the result of being sent to a new dimension. Though it's not directly confirmed considering it hasn't been established if the zombies used the cosmic powers during the time frame in which they helped human society rebuild.

Sentry died after infecting the Avengers.
  • Prior to the stable time loop sending Sentry to start the zombie virus, he was mortally wounded enough that Giant Man saw that he was about to die and planned on using him as a power source for the dimension travel machine. Thus even though he had enough time to infect the Avengers, he ended up dying from his wounds.
  • Alternatively based on Colonel America's comments to Spiderman about how dead meat tastes the Avengers may have eaten the weakened Sentry after succumbing to the hunger. Thus allowing them to have that first hand experience to relate to others.

The 2149 Wolverine and 2149 Giant-Man were in Return were clones, NOT the actual 2149 versions of Wolverine and Giant-Man.
