‘Complete badass’ Jesus joining The Walking Dead Season 6

We have been waiting for The Walking Dead Season 6 to return for what feels like ages, especially when they leave us with a cliffhanger like the arrival of Negan. When the Walking Dead Season 6 returns, it won't be bringing one new character, it will be also be bringing Jesus.

No, not the walking on water and turning water to wine Jesus (although he could be pretty handy in a zombie apocalypse with his nifty healing the sick gig). We are talking about the 'badass' Jesus, who has ninja-like fighting skills.

"Jesus is just such a fun character to write in the comics,” said comic creator and TV exec producer Robert Kirkman to EW. “At this point in the life of the series, my thought is the apocalypse has been going on for so long, the people you encounter in your day-to-day life have to be extremely skilled. And they’ve been surviving for a reason, whether they were at a place like Alexandria that’s very safe, or they’re a great leader of their group and somewhat sadistic but in control of their group like Negan, or someone who’s an absolute, complete badass like Jesus.”

Being a badass isn't the only thing that kept Jesus alive, he's got some other defining features and they are more than just his beard.

“He’s smart, quick, very athletic,” says Kirkman of Jesus. “He’s kinda been surviving on his feet. He’s going to be bringing a lot to the show. There’s some cool stuff coming with him.”
