Virus

Virus is a mutant antagonist who appeared in the early days of mutantkind, as depicted in the prequel miniseries First X-Men. Operating in the same era as Logan's earliest efforts to find and protect mutants, Virus posed a threat to those nascent gatherings.

Emerging from the pages of Neal Adams and Christos Gage's First X-Men in 2012, Virus is a Modern Age Marvel creation with a fittingly ominous name and a place in a story that digs into the earliest days of mutantkind. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare, tightly focused character whose limited footprint makes each issue count. Sharing those early X-Men adventures with the likes of Logan, Yeti, and Bomb, Virus inhabits a corner of Marvel history that feels both primal and consequential. For collectors who love uncovering the hidden corners of mutant lore, this is exactly the kind of character worth tracking down.
