A question for my comic book geek friends

[vampyrusgirl]

How did they bring Superman back to life after he was killed? Also, does Frankenstein count as a zombie? I know that's not comic book related, but if you know the answer to the first question, I'm sure you'll have an opinion about the second one. :)

It's kind of convoluted, but basically one of the several people who claimed to be Superman or a Superman replacement after he died, plopped Superman's dead body in the Fortress of Solitude, and some Kryptonian technology whosiwhatsises healed him up. Technically so long as you can expose Superman to yellow sun energy he kind of can't biologically die, not permanently anyway. So his "death" was closer to a deep coma or a hibernation.

Also, I would not call Frankenstein a zombie. He doesn't want to eat anyone's brains, and he can't infect another person and make them a zombie. I'd almost call Frankenstein a golem or a robot that happens to be made out of flesh instead of clay or metal.

Here is a brief synopsis online:

And wow, look up "Is Frankenstein a zombie" and you might want to wear some fireproof gloves to spare yourself the flames about how Frankenstein was the Doctor, not the monster. :) I agree with the golem category for him.

Superman was only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.
