How about an Athlete Zombie as a fast, extremely-mobile class? Whereas the All-Star is the heavy weapons expert, the Athlete would be like a mix between the Spy and the Scout from Team Fortress 2. He would look sort of like an Olympic runner athlete. His base health would be 100. However, he has the fastest running speed in the game. His main role in the team would be to get to objectives fast and control enemy chokepoints, scouting ahead.

His Primary Weapon is the Tee Cannon, one of those guns at sporting events that fires t-shirts into the audience. It has a slightly lower rate of fire than the Pea Cannon; it does more damage but has no splash effect on-hit.

His three abilities would be Pole-Vault, Trigger Sweat Bomb, and Shotput. Pole-Vault causes Athlete Zombie to perform a pole-vault jump, launching himself into the air in an arc (the same height as the Foot Soldier's Rocket Jump, but more horizontal distance and a longer cooldown). Trigger Sweat Bomb causes Athlete Zombie to throw a trigger bomb/vial of his own sweat; pressing the button again detonates it and causes poison damage, similar to Dr. Toxic or Toxic Pea). Shotput causes Athlete Zombie to lob a large steel ball forward; this creates a small shockwaves when it hits the ground.

His variants would include Mascot (a zombie wearing a sports team mascot costume), who possesses higher health at the cost of speed, Ice Skater (a Winter Olympics figure skater) who deals ice damage to plants, Marksman (an archer with a blindfold) who deals fire damage with his flaming arrow crossbow, Scotsman (a Scottish golfer in a too-short kilt) who deals rapid-fire damage with his Golfball Gatling, and Gymnast (a gymnast) who can zoom in far like a Cactus to score more damage for Critical hits like the Agent Pea.
