History
Little is detailed about the Acolytes' life before the zombie plague arrived on Earth-2149, however it can be presumed to have followed much the same path as Acolytes (Earth-616).
The Acolytes (The Acolytes shown are Fabian Cortez, Joanna Cargill, Scanner, Lisa Hendricks, Reynolds, Burns and several unnamed members) and a surviving X-Men member Forge seems to be some of the few survivors hiding in the third Asteroid M. After Magneto (who appears to be the only mutant left uninfected on Earth) helped Reed Richards from Earth-1610 and the other three survivors escape using Reed’s machine, he destroyed the machine, so the zombies could not use the machine to go to Earth-1610. He was then contacted by the Acolytes, who offered to send him a shuttle. Magneto, however, told them to wait until he was out of New York City, but was shortly thereafter killed by the zombies. Upon returning to Earth the Acolytes couldn’t find Magneto, but discover a still-living Black Panther and zombie Wasp “head,” Cortez recognized that the Black Panther is a human and alive. But the other Acolytes think it’s a trick because Panther was also carrying the zombie Wasp head. Cortez warns his teammates to stand down, because they don’t know anything about the Panther, so they can’t do anything yet.
Burns disagrees and moves to kill Panther. In self-defense, Black Panther flings the Wasp head at Burns, and it kills him with a bite to the jugular. The other Acolytes start fighting Panther, but Cortez orders everyone to stop fighting immediately. Cortez stated that Burns has disobeyed his direct order and paid for it with his life. Cortez informs that Panther only defended himself because the Acolytes attacked him, so he can’t be punished for that.
Panther expresses that he wants to go with the Acolytes to Asteroid M, if that means the zombies or the virus can’t reach him there. Cortez promises they’ll do that, because he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he left another human being behind. The other Acolytes protest against it, but Cortez is confident, as he wants to ensure the survival of his species, and therefore can use all the help they can get. The others realize they don’t have much choice and agree with it, but they want to kill the Wasp first. Black Panther refuses, because he wants her to come to Asteroid M with them. Even Cortez isn’t so sure about it, but agrees to take the Wasp with them.
After the Acolytes and Black Panther arrive on Asteroid M, Reynolds decided to study and learn more about the zombies by using the Wasp as a specimen. Reynolds said that he could maybe even find a cure. Later, Forge arrives and introduces himself to Panther. One of the Acolytes, Lisa Hendricks, takes an immediate romantic interest in the Black Panther.
5 Years Later
When the Acolytes, Forge, Black Panther and the Wasp (still a zombie, but now with a robotic body) land back on earth. They look around and see nothing left except plantlife and the ruins of old cities. Cortez stated that the zombies could still be around and they have to stay alert. Black Panther has married Hendricks and they have a baby, T’Channa. Hendricks tells Panther and Cortez that they are surely alone, there is no life left on the planet and no death, either. Reynolds and the Wasp also state that all the zombies have vanished after Reynolds completes his sensor sweep. Reynolds, using the thermal reading, indicates there are no living humans left. By using the motion reading, he indicates there is no living human or zombie left on earth. The zombies are nowhere to be found; they either died or left the planet. Reynolds said that he doesn’t know where the remaining zombies went, but Cortez and Panther are interested in finding out. This makes the Acolytes, Forge, and Black Panther the last survivors of the human species.
