A variant of the Joker fleeing a horde of zombies, during the beginning stages of a zombie apocalypse
Zombie apocalypse is the term for an uprising of undead individuals overtaking and at least temporarily assuming dominance over the living population of a planet. This commonly results in societal collapse. The underlying root of the zombies has been seen to be scientific, such as radiation,[1][2][3] chemical weapons,[4][5][6][7] or drugs and pharmaceuticals.[8] Viruses of varying nature,[9][10] including both naturally evolved[11][12][13][14][15][16] and genetically engineered viruses[17][18][19][20] have been seen. Supernatural causes such as voodoo curses,[21][22] and intervention from Hell's forces[23][24][25][26] have also been observed. There are also yet more indeterminate origins.[27]
New societies often form following the collapse of civilisation at large, often dictatorial,[28] but on occasion democratic. Infighting and rival factions often present a difficulty in rebuilding humanity.[29][30] In spite of these problems, large scale zombie uprisings do not always result in the destruction of society.[31][32][33]
Individual zombie apocalypses have been seen to present a threat to entire multiverses when circumstances allow for spread between universes.[34][35][36][37]
