Writing Regarding Zombie Apocalypse Powers

[Leti]

For those who read the genre, what powers do you think are nice to have? The usual are elemental powers while others are psychics. Are there any unique ones you can think of? Help me out here. Haha I'm bored and I'm playing out a zombie apocalypse story in my head to get me through the day.

The power to infect zombies with humanity through contact with bodily fluids. Bite a zombie and turn it into a human.

Heightened IQ with the loss of emotions...
or Uncontrollably powerful dark magic, but going berserk every time you get exhausted. with the hope of finally being able to control it, ofc.

The ability to heal any wound, no matter how grievous , given enough time.
Followed by the ability to sense heat signatures and undead as a sixth sense.

LoL. Gosh, that's gross to imagine.

But its no fun if you cant fight prolonged Dragonball Z-esque battles with Super Zombies!!!!

You're right, swords go brrrrr in the apocalypse Especially if they come out of nowhere.

the nature of the "superpower" itself does not matter
with sufficent creativity you can achieve everything with simple superpower
one must first decied on the source of the power and growth option in the story for such power
limitation, source and growth is the key.

I personally love the novel Doomsday Wonderland, the abilities of the characters aren't the standard elemental type, instead every ability is unique.

One character can let their multiple personalities come to life, which also have their own abilities, another can change places with people that know one specific author, etc.

But maybe it's not really what you're looking for, because the "zombies" of this novel were also superhumans at first that couldn't survive the new world they traveled to (they jump to different Apocalyptic Worlds after a period of time: Heat-Hell, Radiation World, Haunted World,... ) and become the monsters of that world.

(the MC is badass, there is also no ML which is very uncommon in novels with female protagonistsis, it's just generally a great read)
