Zeph's Zombie Apocalypse Team

I was challenged by my buddy ~Powershade117 to do this meme and here's one of the versions! This version is what my team would be overall. For the sake of keeping the character selection diverse, I did not choose from the same series more than once.

Original meme by ~N0-oB213 can be found here: fav.me/d50m94g

Team Leader: Minerva McGonagall
McGonagall is one of those HP characters that I just love, even though we don't see her as much as some of the others. At first I thought of Dumbledore, but despite his loyalty to Hogwarts, he really only displays major concern and care for Harry. McGonagall, however, easily displays that concern and love for her school and all of its students. She one of the wisest characters in the HP universe and an extremely powerful witch. She even took four stun spells to the chest and made a full recovery. And if the zombies only want human flesh, she can just transform into a cat and walk on by. McGonagall has, time and time again, proved herself to be a strong leader, often filling in for Dumbledore when he's away. She ousted Snape from the school and took charge during the Battle of Hogwarts and when all was said and done, became the Headmistress of Hogwarts. I'd follow McGonagall any day.
Brawler: Black Whirlwind
A former champion of the Imperial Arena, Black Whirlwind is the guy you can count on when you need something smashed or chopped. He's got two axes that he wields with deadly accuracy and his tough personality and build make his hits hard and make him able to withstand several strikes unfazed. Although he's the last person anyone would want to go to for comfort, if you're knee deep in zombies, the Black Whirlwind is the guy to get you out. And even though he's rude and not very bright, you don't need to worry about that really. If there's a complex plan in play, just point and tell him to kill anything that comes in that way, he doesn't require any more details. That's really all he'll need to know. Plus he's low maintenance: all he needs is booze or something to fight.
Weapons Expert: Garrus Vakarian
Now anyone who knows me knows that this should not be any surprise at all. Not only is Garrus the kind of guy who will always be there for you and watch your six in battle, but he's a weapons expert. He must be since he spends practically all his time calibrating the Mako and the Thanix Cannons. He loves big guns and he knows how to take care of them. Aside from that, Garrus is smart and tactical and would even make a good second in command. He's deadly with his sniper rifle too, capable of taking out distant targets while knicking off the few that try to catch you off guard.
Brains: Tech E. Coyote
Tech is an intellectual genius and unlike his well-known ancestor, Tech makes his inventions himself and they actually work the way he intends, though he's evidently not very good with setting traps. He can create sophisticated machinery even from scraps and has already created a wide variety of vehicles and weapons. If you need a zombie machine gun that also makes coffee or does some other crazy obscure thing, Tech's your man.
Medic: Faust VIII
Despite his creepy demeanor, Faust is loyal and devoted. He's a doctor and use to run a clinic before his wife's murder, so he's got the skills and knowhow to treat injuries. Plus, being a shaman, he can heal wounds and injuries much easier and even resurrect the dead (though I'm not sure how that would work with the zombies). Alongside him is the spirit of his wife and dog acting as his guardian ghosts. Through the use of Oversoul, he can manifest her as a giant armed with medical tools as weapons and his dogs as his legs. But one thing I find that also makes him fit as my medic is his fascination with the human body. Something tells me that Faust would be examining zombie corpses and perhaps even find a way to cure, or at least render survivors immune to the infection.
Speed Fighter: Shadow the Hedgehog
Again, this should be no surprise to anyone who knows me. Shadow's got the speed and the raw power that makes him a force to be reckoned with. His airshoes give him speed that rivals Sonic's and he's got extensive fighting skills in physical combat. His tie to the Chaos Force grants him several abilities he could use to easily do away with any hordes that get too close. One Chaos Blast will clear those zombies away with no problem. In addition, as a science experiment designed to develop cures for illness, it's likely that Shadow would be immune to the zombie infection.
Mascot: Charmander
Mascots are typically cute little guys and picking a mascot for me took no longer than one second. Ever since generation 1, Charmander was always my favorite Pokemon of all time and remains to this day as the starter I would always pick, hands down, no contest. Charmander is just super cute and appeals to me in two ways: fire and dragon. However, Charmander's cuteness isn't it's only power. Though small, he can learn several powerful attacks and become a great asset as pure firepower to the team when he becomes fully evolved.
Guy who dies first: Biff Tannen
There's always that one guy who just needs to get what's coming to him and for me, that's Biff Tannen. Now, Biff is a character that I both love and hate. I hate Biff's character because he's such a douchebag to the McFly family but I also love him because Thomas F. Wilson did such a good job portraying this character as a douche to make me hate Biff. Plus, who doesn't love watching Biff and the Tannens get what's coming to them? I made this choice not just because Biff deserves it, because I logically think he would be the first to die. Biff is arrogant to a fault; he believes he's invincible and that nothing has even the right to harm him. The way I see it, he'd charge into a zombie horde, guns blazing with no thought in his actions whatsoever, thinking that he wouldn't get bit and even if he did, he wouldn't turn (he probably would think he's one of those "special" cases). As a result, he'd just tire himself out and the horde would surround him.

I have to say that the best moment in filling out this meme was when I was filling it out the same time my buddy *Dingo-Sniper was and we both said we had Garrus on our list and immediately asked each other within two seconds. We've pretty much adopted something as our catchphrase: "fucking bridge". If you've seen Pacific Rim, you'll get it

I suppose I would have considered Shepard for the role of leader, but that would clash with Garrus since they are both from Mass Effect and I didn't want to use the same series twice. Plus, Shepard is a player character in an RPG, always molded by the player and can really only be generally defined by his/her accomplishments or lack thereof. For example, a Shepard that completed all the loyalty missions would make for an excellent leader, having taken time to attend to his/her crew and gain each squad member's loyalty. A Shepard who ignores these would not make a good leader as the squad would all get killed off.

Anyway, the meme was fun to do and I encourage you to take a stab at it if you're interested!
