<p>I'm trying to follow the mythology page on here, but it feels a bit confusing. There's some similarities between them, but I don't get the requirements for the revenants due to never reading the comics, so if anyone can detail it for me, I'd appreciate it very much here. </p><p>Similarities: Both are reanimated corpses, aren't ghosts, have functioning physical and mental capabilities, etc. </p><p>Differences: A zombie needs human brains to function mentally every thirty or so days, a revenant needs human flesh to function? </p><p>I just don't get the revenant part. </p>
