Ex-Heroes	comment	Ex-Heroes is a novel originally published by Permuted Press. It combines superheroes, post-apocalypse, and zombies into novels written by Peter Clines. A series of superheroes appear during the 21st century, each possessing a variety of superpowers and abilities. They make a brief splash, curing all sorts of ills in the Los Angeles area (amongst other places).Unfortunately, they don't get to enjoy their success long before the entire world is struck by a Zombie Apocalypse of epic proportions. Now, a year later, they have to defend their tiny enclave of human survivors from a seemingly endless horde of undead monsters.A sequel, Ex-Patriots, was released in 2011. It follows the continuing adventures of the original heroes and adds a second group of survivors saved by the military.A third book, Ex-Communication, was released July 9, 2013, and deals with the return of a hero long presumed dead.Book four, Ex-Purgatory, was released on January 14, 2014. It sets off on a slightly different path, following George and company in an alternate reality.Book five, Ex-Isle, was released on February 2nd, 2016. Ex-Isle follows the heroes investigating a newly-discovered group of inhabitants living on an artificial island.Please put any character-related tropes on the characters page.

This comes back to bite him when Legion attacks and Smith realizes the heroes are going to fight back, thinking they've got hundreds of support troops when they're really hopelessly outnumbered. Naturally, Smith decides to just cut and run on his own and let everyone else get slaughtered.

What is lethal is the bacteria and viruses present in the human body, especially in a walking corpse. Initially, there were cases of people surviving a bite if they were in a hospital and immediately pumped full of antibiotics. Now, with every zombie mouth stuffed with hundreds of infectious diseases, there's practically no chance of survival without superpowers specially geared for disease immunity, or immediate amputation of the bitten limb.

Close to seventeen thousand men and women have professed their love for her in e-mails or on various web pages. There have been substantially more declarations of a strictly sexual nature. So she usually stays holed up in the hotel because of this. This in addition to finding out she was saying his name in her sleep was why she became interested in George, because even though he was attracted to her that was secondary to what he wanted to tell her.

Agent Smith's mind-control powers are revealed when Stealth is about to give him a well-deserved No-Holds-Barred Beatdown and he suddenly asks if she wants to hurt him. When the Cerberus armor goes out of control and Lieutenant Gibbs hears a strange voice, it turns out that a character with seemingly insignificant powers stowed away on the mission and is poised for a Big Damn Heroes moment. A series of wham lines that slowly reveal how Smith brainwashed everyone into thinking that there are thousands of soldiers and refugees at the base rather than just a handful of people he kept alive for his own uses begins with this exchange between Captain Freedom and Stealth.
