She-Hulk Transforms as Venom-Like “Zombiotes” Take Over the Marvel Universe
She-Hulks Gets a Taste of Being Venom
Zombiotes are just what they sound like: the dead who have been reanimated by undead symbiotes. Similar to every idea of a zombie virus in popular media, this version is genuinely gruesome as fans get a chance to see an actual takeover of a living person by a Venom-like substance, turning them into “zombiotes.” It’s almost as if Marvel has combined an alien invasion with a zombie virus, and now fans know thatnot even She-Hulk is capable of stopping such a threat.
These zombiotes are definitely some of the most powerful versions of Venom, considering they don’t need permission to bond with a host.
Thanks to Black Widow and Agent Anti-Venom trying to uncover the secrets of Alchemax Tower, the zombiotes were accidentally unleashed on the world, leaving heroes like She-Hulk to retreat to the Bar With No Name,where she was seen to have been infected at the last moment. These zombiotes are definitely some of themost powerful versions of Venom, considering they don’t need permission to bond with a host - they completely take over.

Thankfully, She-Hulk and her hero friends find a way to turn up the sonic frequencies to eradicate the zombiote virus inside the bar and save her own body. But that leaves fans wondering just what it would be like to see a version of Hulk bond with a version of Venom. What that would produce might just be the most powerful combination of beings in Marvel history. Since Marvel is coming up witha new gold Venom,there’s definitely room for a green venom - a Hulk Venom.

As of now, there are no plans to further bond She-Hulk and Venom. Fans will have to be satisfied with this little glimpse of green and black and the nightmare fuel it causes as Jennifer Walters nearly becomes undead. It’s a potent image that provides what wasn’t possible before and is severely needed now:She-Hulk Venom. Until this “team up” becomes permanent, the undead nightmare will remain with fans.
