What If Episode 5 Breakdown
This one starts off similar to Avengers Infinity War only it quickly turns into something straight out of a horror movie. The Avengers have come to save Bruce from Cull Obsidian and Ebony Maw, unfortunately, they are Zombies.
Before they can turn Bruce, the Cloak of Levitation, The Wasp, and Spider-Man show up to save him. How did this happen? Two weeks prior when Hank Pym found Janet Van Dyne in the Quantum Realm, Janet was a zombie and turned Hank into one too. Together they traveled back to our world and the infection spread. She apparently was infected with a Quantum Virus. You guys just put quantum in front of everything, don’t you?

Unfortunately, when the Avengers tried to stop it, they lost. The remaining heroes are determined to make it to Camp LeHigh, where a beacon of hope is coming from.
Lots of fighting with Zombies occurs before they can make it there. This includes Bucky saying goodbye to Zombie Steve. Can these guys get a timeline where they live happily ever after?

Once the remaining heroes make it to the base, they learn that Vision is alive but is hiding a big secret. Wanda, Zombie Scarlett Witch if you’re nasty. Somehow Wanda has retained her powers and enough brains to use them. Vision has been feeding her (GROSS) using people he has lured into the base.
In a quick turn around he decides to off himself, gives the Mind Stone to the good guys. They escape to Wakanda determined to reverse the effects of the virus. Unfortunately, big bad ZOMBIE THANOS is a thing and they are in big trouble.
