Background Origin[]
It was 1933, Edward 'Stubbs' Stubblefield was once a door to door salesman. All that changed when he came across the Knobb Cheese Farm, where Stubbs meets Maggie Monday, daughter of Ottis Monday. Maggie had a thing for strangers, so in her quick attempt, the two procreate in the most short-lived romantic fling ever. Otis found out and chase after Stubbs, killing and burying him in an unmarked grave in the Pennsylvania countryside.
Awoken 26 years later in 1959, Stubbs finds himself in the futuristic utopia of Punchbowl, Pennsylvania. The brainchild of billionaire playboy industrialist Andrew Monday. Punchbowl is a wonderland of technology; hovering cars, robot servants and biodomes. Stubbs also just happened to be reborn on the inaugural opening to the public. He doesn't know where he is, or remembers who killed him, or why. The only thing that he's certain is his new abilities and appetites. The door to door salesman Edward Stubbs has now been reborn as a brain-eating Stubbs the zombie.
Abilities[]
Zombie Command: Stubbs not only infects every human he touches, but also commands them to follow his presence and attack anyone that appears too dangerous for him. While Stubbs doesn’t really command the horde perfectly as he just whistles and pushes them around, he still uses his zombie army to attack his enemies and distract them enough to get the upper hand.
Intelligence: Stubbs is the only zombie in the game with a higher iq than any other zombie. He shows this by driving vehicles (including a tank), remembering his past and who killed him, and how to destroy the dam.
Dancing: Stubbs for a rotting corpse manage to match and surpase the Police Chief in a dance off. He did it so well, the Chief didn't even notice the Gut Grenade was stuck to his leg before it was too late.
Strength[]
- From your typical horror movie of how strong a zombie can be, Stubbs seems to be the stongest in the video game. Ripping people's arms off, decapitating with nothing but his claws and busting through doors and leap at his enemies like a jungle cat. Still pretty damn impressive for a rotting corpse from the 30's.
- Besides ripping off arms, Stubbs from VS Battles analysis claim his striking strength is Wall Level. It does make sense as in the game, Stubbs breaks through doors on the Knobb Cheese Farm level.
Durability[]
- Stubbs seems to survive from pretty much anything that would of killed any other zombie. From chainsaws, shotguns, even laser blasters, he just walks it off.
- A good example would be from the level Cop Rock! boss battle. As it ended, Stubbs detonated his gut grenade by the police armory causing a massive explosion. The force of the explosion launches him hundreds of feet before landing. And he’s up brushing off the dust like nothing happened.
Speed[]
- From what we can tell by his average speed, he seems faster than his own zombie army. He can run fast enough to catch up to a human.
- This could be non-canon, but from the ending level “The Fall of the House of Otis”, Stubbs manage to escape from the house after lighting a box of dynamites and barrels of unknown explosions.
- I could be wrong (as I said, correct me if I’m wrong) it took Stubbs 2 minutes to enter the house towards Otis, subtracting his time fighting of other rednecks, eating brains, getting lost, pausing and pushing other zombies out of the way. The average fuse of a dynamite takes 1 minute to detonate. Stubbs must have moved 45 seconds to get out, that is 4 times faster than the average man.
(I may be wrong, feel free to correct me).
Zombie Abilities[]
- Zombie Physiology: Stubbs mainly fights using his arms, legs and jaws. He can claw, punch, kick, grapple and bite his foes. Complimenting these natural weapons was his superhuman strength. This zombie can gnaw through a person's skull or rip limbs and use them as bludgeoning tools.
- As an undead zombie, Stubbs is very hard-to-kill -- if he can even be killed at all. He was durable enough to resist bullets, melee attacks (including chainsaws), energy weapons, electricity, and survive explosions. He once tanked a blast that destroyed a building and sent him flying, and survived having a whole dam burst right in front of him.
- His regeneration and healing factor are so potent that he can automatically heal wounds, and quickly regrow lost tissues, limbs, and even his head with just a thought. The only real way to beat him is to overwhelm him with numbers, though this is not enough to kill him, only capturing him. Eating brains can also accelerate his healing.
- Infection: Every person Stubbs kills, specifically those he has killed physically, will turn into mindless zombies. In turn, every person these zombies kill also becomes zombies. These horde of zombies is not as smart as Stubbs, but they can be led and directed to attack Stubbs' enemies. These zombies are also hard to kill; capable of still attacking even without a head or legs. They attack mostly by biting, striking, and grappling, with a selected few capable of using melee weapons.
- Special Attacks: As a highly-evolved form of zombie, Stubbs had a unique set of attacks with various kinds of effects. In order to utilize these attacks, Stubbs need to consume brains. Eating brains allowed Stubbs to replenish his energy and unlock or use these special attacks. (Note: These abilities were officially unnamed in the game. The names below were taken from the recent HD remake trailer):
- Lethal Farts: Stubbs could unleash a huge fart around an area, stunning and choking anyone near him, opening them for a finishing blow. This move was the quickest to cooldown/regenerate.
- Gut Grenades: Stubbs' organs were explosive in nature. He could reach into the hole in his side and pull out one of his guts and other organs. Throwing them like a grenade, the resulting explosion could launch and kill anyone within a limited radius. The organs also had a tendency to stick unto walls and enemies, and were really hard to remove. Stubbs could throw three organs in quick succession before needing to eat brains to regenerate ammo.
- In-game, a well-placed gut grenade on Chief (with the help of some TNT) was strong enough to level up a whole police station.
- Zombie Possession: Stubbs could rip off his hand and launch it. The hand had a mind of its own, capable of sneaking around and sticking to walls. It could generally be used to infiltrate buildings and sneak behind people. The arm also had the power to possess and control anyone it grabbed hold onto. When the possession ended, Stubbs could regrow a new arm and his victim would die. However, the possession is ineffective if the human is wearing a helmet
- Heads Rolling: Stubbs could rip off his own head and use it like a bowling ball, taking out several foes before exploding. Said head could be controlled and directed in order to reach the target Stubbs intended to blow up. After Stubbs was done, he would reach into his neck and his head would grow back. This move had a longer cooldown compared to others, but was generally considered the most powerful, capable of blowing up not only flesh but also machinery and force fields.
Feats[]
- Beat the Police Chief in a dance off, by blowing him up with a gut grenade next to the armory.
- Infiltrated bases undetected.
- Killed off dozens of police men, while mind controlling one of them to save himself.
- Infected the entire city of Punchbowl, with his urine.
- Survived a 200 column of water from Punchbowl's dam, as he stood right underneath the crumbling wall.
- Survived a massive explosion that launched him in the air, which obviously would have killed any zombie and human. I mean it did killed the police chief.
- Grand theft auto a tank using only his Gut Grenades.
- Killed Otis Monday and avenged his death.
- Beat his own son and the army of Barbershop singers, proving he's a real deadbeat dad (Hey I just got that)
- Caused the Military to Nuke Punchbowl, but manage to escape on a row boat with his undead lover Maggie.
Flaws[]
- Stubbs is the only super zombie in the game. While the rest of his zombies are slow, dumb and easily expendable.
- His mind seems to travel to his disembodied arm and head, leaving his body completely vulnerable to attacks.
- His regeneration is unique for a rotting corpse, there is a limit to how many times he can regrow limbs and a head.
- Also, he does take a serious amount of damage which can be fatal. Two hits from a tank, and he’s dead. This time for good.
- Has limited ammunition, depending on how many brains he’s eaten.
- While intelligent, Stubbs is motivated by three things. Brains, Revenge, and Love.
