Eugene Porter is a fictional zombie holocaust survivor and a central character featured in The Walking Dead comic book series, published by Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment. In the comic series, he first appeared in issue #53 in October, 2008. In The Walking Dead television series, he was introduced in the tenth episode of season four, "Inmates". He was played by actor Josh McDermitt.

Overview

Eugene is a member of Rick Grimes' group and formerly claimed himself to be a scientist on a top-secret mission to Washington D.C. to find a cure for the zombie virus in order to feel important and protected by Abraham Ford and Rosita Espinosa. He is one of the many members captured at Terminus but are ultimately rescued through the efforts of Carol Peletier. In the episode "Self Help", Eugene comes clean about his deceit and is promptly knocked unconscious by Abraham when he causes Eugene to hit his head against the church bus after punching him. It is also hinted that Eugene may have some attraction to Rosita as he is caught spying on her and Abraham while they are having sex and is seen again at Rosita's doorway eating a cookie after Abraham and her break up due to his fantasies and attraction to Sasha Williams.

As of lately, Eugene has attempted to abandon his cowardly personality and attempts to become more self-reliant and courageous. This comes in handy when he creates a diversion after being captured by the Saviors when he bites Dwight's crotch to initiate a firefight in order to save Daryl Dixon and Rosita.
