One of the most surprising reveals in Marvel Zombies comes in the first episode, when Kamala Khan, Riri Williams, and Kate Bishop stumble across a canyon carved into the side of a massive mountain. The landmark isn’t natural. It’s the result of a fight so destructive and so relentless that the terrain itself bears the scars.
Blade’s Moon Knight explains that the cause is a never-ending battle between a zombified Captain Marvel and Ikaris of the Eternals. This detail instantly reframes Carol Danvers’ power level and makes her one of the most terrifying threats in the series.
Carol, already one of the MCU’s strongest heroes thanks to her Tesseract-fueled origin, is shown here locked in combat with an Eternal designed by the Celestials to wield cosmic energy. The fight never ends because neither can overpower the other.
It’s an unbroken stalemate, a chilling reminder of the chaos that ensues when beings with near-godlike strength are infected by the Quantum Virus. Unlike her live-action appearances in Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame, and The Marvels, this version of Danvers demonstrates what unchecked power looks like when stripped of morality. The result is destruction on a scale no Avenger could stop.
Why Captain Marvel’s clash with Ikaris reshaped the world of Marvel Zombies
The fight between Captain Marvel and Ikaris in Marvel Zombies is presented as more than a clash of two superpowered beings. It’s a visual demonstration of what happens when unstoppable force meets immovable object, except this time, both are locked in their undead state.
The canyon Kamala Khan and her group pass through is the clearest sign of just how long the battle has raged. Every strike has literally reshaped the environment, leaving scars in the landscape that speak louder than any dialogue. Neither combatant can land a final blow, which is why their duel continues without pause.
For Ikaris, this fight reinforces his status as one of the strongest Eternals. He can project cosmic energy beams from his eyes, fly at incredible speeds, and endure punishment that would kill most heroes instantly. Even with all that, he cannot bring down Carol Danvers.
The infected Captain Marvel has no hesitation, no restraint, and no concern for collateral damage. Her cosmic blasts, combined with near-invulnerability, put her on equal footing with the Eternal, leaving them trapped in a stalemate that has no clear end.
This is significant because it settles a long-running debate in the MCU about Carol’s true place among the universe’s strongest beings. Producer Nate Moore once noted that the question of whether Captain Marvel could match an Eternal was worth discussing. Now, the answer is clear: she can, at least on an individual level. The battle in Marvel Zombies doesn’t crown a winner, but it shows that she is more than capable of standing toe-to-toe with one of Arishem’s creations.
The horror lies not just in their strength, but in the fact that both fighters are zombies. Their humanity is gone, which means their fight has no purpose beyond destruction. They aren’t defending people or chasing a goal; they are locked in instinct-driven violence.
That makes them more dangerous than ever, because the only possible outcome is endless devastation. The MCU has rarely shown a battle where neither side can win or lose, but here it becomes a background fixture of the world, a reminder that power without direction is the most destructive force imaginable.
