Should Marvel Zombies be considered cannibalistic?
Before myself or anyone else goes crazy populating this category with Marvel Zombies characters, perhaps we should decide as a community whether or not a zombie consuming human flesh should be considered an act of cannibalism. Technically, a zombie is undead, and thus no longer considered human, making their dietary needs not so much an act of cannibalism, but just a matter of being a carnivore. Now, a zombie who feeds on another zombie however, would definitely be a cannibal, but as well all know, the Marvel Zombies tend to frown on that practice.

In this same mindset however, I don't think we should exclude mutants from the category, even though they are technically a different race. Most mutants have the same baseline DNA as humans, and most behave and function as a normal human anyway. So a mutant who feeds on either humans or other mutants is still a cannibal no matter what. Yeah, I know. Mutants always get the s**t end of the stick, don't they? --Brian Kurtz 19:55, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
