Moira[edit]

While Moira MacTaggart worked on attempting to cure the virus, she discovered that the virus seemed to be selective of its targets-- this was before any mention of the seperate strains, and could be just one of those things that happen with Marvel continuity. The virus, it was mentioned at one point, selected only one mutant of any particular 'type' to infect (one telepath, one pyrokinetic, one shapeshifter, and so forth, including Moira herself, who was the only human to be infected). Does anyone else think this is worth a mention?--MythicFox 10:58, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List?[edit]

Would it be possible to list all the mutants killed by the virus? I have no idea who died, but I think it'd be a good addition. EVula 15:19, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why, yes, it is ;-)

I had Psynapse of the Dark Riders on the list, b/c some websites listed him as having been infected. However, some further research showed that the signs of his infection -- a nasty cough -- could have instead been a reaction to Earthly pollutants. Psynapse is an Inhuman, and Inhumans are more susceptible to pollutants than humans. Dr Archeville 04:00, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic, thanks Doc. I added a tag to clear the area between the table and the next section; its more efficient (and more reliable) than multiple hard returns. I also changed the heading (removed the redundant "Legacy Virus" bit and uncapped the fourth/second word, as per the Manual of Style). EVula 05:18, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In reference to the citation for Mr. Sinister's infection and the virus causing the mutant powers to flare out of control. There's a scene in the epilog to the last X-Cutioner's Song book showing Sinister being exposed to the virus, at least, and his assistant becoming infected. For the mutant powers flaring out of control this was addressed in Uncanny X-Men Annual #17. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.232.214.203 (talk) 21:27, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dark Beast[edit]

If anyone can add the Legacy virus changes created by the dark beast that seemed more lethal than common legacy strains????

Dan

Grammar[edit]

"McCoy was able to devise a cure, though one that had a price; the virus had first been released by the death of the first victim, so the release of the cure would cause the same reaction." - This doesn't seem to make much sense; is that the line of reasoning actually given in the storyline? Also, the grammar of this sentence could use a touch-up, but I'll leave that for now. --Grey Knight 02:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes it was, and no it doesn't make much sense. But they needed a resolution that was more dramatic than mutants lining up for injections. Daibhid C 13:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

fixed image fair use rational. Gman124 (talk) 15:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed article in question and the image itself as it doesn't pertain to the Legacy Virus in anyway. Kaelesh (talk) 18:52, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Retribution Virus[edit]

Should some mention be made in the article about its thematic predecessor the Retribution Virus from the Cyclops story in Marvel Comics Presents 17-24? Khajidha (talk) 16:06, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Potential Instance In other media[edit]

The animated series "Wolverine and the X-Men" seems to hint at the legacy virus in the nineteenth episode of the show, "Guardian Angel." While not seen properly in the show, the mutant cure developed by Worthington Industries is referred to as the "legacy cure" about 14 minutes and 23 seconds into the episode. The name seems to be a pretty obvious reference to the Legacy Virus, but it's never employed in either capacity in the show's run so it's hard to tell. Since we never see the cure in action, would this be considered an instance of the Legacy Virus in other media? And if so, should it be mentioned here? 69.54.178.52 (talk) 04:24, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
