The Undisputed Champion of Apocalypse: The Ultimate Zombie Slayer Revealed

What occurred in the midseason finale of Fear the Walking Dead provides confirmation of the individual who holds the title of the franchise's most skilled zombie slayer. Given that the franchise has advanced over ten years within The Walking Dead timeline, it is expected that its universe would be populated with individuals highly skilled in eliminating walkers. In fact, each show boasts several characters who possess the ability to dispatch a significant number of zombies simultaneously, if not more.

Characters in both FTWD and the main series have extensive experience in surviving the zombie apocalypse. While some individuals like Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead and Daniel Salazar from FTWD were naturally suited for this way of life and adapted quickly, others such as Alicia, Gabriel, and Madison initially struggled with killing zombies. However, most of the franchise's heroes eventually overcame these challenges and became skilled zombie fighters. Notably, Rick, Morgan, Daryl, and Michonne are among TWD's most proficient warriors.

It's Official - Morgan Is Walking Dead's Best Zombie-Killer

Morgan's exceptional zombie-killing abilities surpass those of any other protagonist in Fear the Walking Dead season 8's midseason finale. Since his character transformation in The Walking Dead season 5, Morgan has consistently displayed remarkable efficiency in dispatching zombies, often using a stick to swiftly eliminate them by piercing their skulls. However, in "All I See is Red," FTWD takes Morgan's skills to an unprecedented level as he grapples with uncontrollable bursts of anger. During these episodes, Morgan regains consciousness only to find that all the surrounding zombies have been eradicated.

Morgan's unmatched ability to annihilate hordes of zombies, even in a state of mental instability, unequivocally establishes him as an unstoppable force. Lennie James' portrayal of Morgan Jones in this episode showcases an unprecedented level of skill in dispatching the undead, making him the sole character in the franchise to achieve such remarkable feats. The seemingly superhuman nature of Morgan's subconscious zombie-killing sprees surpasses anything accomplished by Rick, Daryl, Alicia, Negan, or any other character in The Walking Dead's shows.

What Makes Morgan So Good At Killing Zombies

Different aspects of Morgan’s backstory justify his status as the franchise’s top zombie-killer. His impressive martial arts skills, honed through training received from Eastman, have played a crucial role in his ability to eliminate the undead. Not only has Eastman taught him the physical techniques necessary for combat, but he has also instilled in Morgan the mental discipline needed to remain composed and focused during intense battles. This training has allowed Morgan to detach himself from his emotions, enabling his instincts to guide him in dangerous situations. However, as Fear the Walking Dead season 8 reveals, this detachment comes at a significant cost.
