I see that you are a fan of umbrakinesis.

Which type of apocalypse?
“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”

Water Creation.

It's always going to be the ability to create drinkable water, no matter what.

Wait, the zombies all have superpowers? That changes things.

Head Explosion. Like in Scanners.

Oh.

Scanners style Head Explosion. You might die after all the Zombies are dead from thirst or exposure, but it would be a pretty sweet ride up until that point. Unless you get bored, but I don't think blowing up heads would ever get old.

That's probably not possible.

The ability to control the undead.

Darn, your right. Zombie butlers.

But if everyone else gets powers wouldn't that paint a big old target on your back unless you have a stellar PR department? Adventuring Parties aren't know to be the most understanding people. There's a reason they're called Murderhobos.

Of the powers I've made, I'd either have Shibito, and become a zombie but better in every way. I would live among them, teach them out ways. Mold them into the true inheritors of the earth.

Or Deathmatch Field. At best, zombie battle royals. At worst, they wander out and have a brain aneurism. I'd blast Viking Metal to attract them toward me they cross the boundary line and go down. Boom, a whole city to myself.

Will they fight one another?

In fact, what type of zombies are these? Any special types, like Left 4 Dead?

Creativity is cheating.

The ability to speed organic processes.
The ability to summon maggots.
The abilty to be immune to zombie infection.
The abilty to control weather.
