Fandom discussion: the Maverick Virus
So, the Maverick Virus. In canon, it's pretty straight-forward what the virus does; infect reploids and makes them crazy, can affect anything mechanical, can actually alter reality and ... uh ... okay, the Virus in canon makes no sense. Anyway.
But I've seen some really neat fandom ideas of what the virus is or what it can be, and after seeing a few ideas mentioned around I decided to make this post. Basically, round up every neat idea that you've had about the virus and what it's capable of, and maybe Zero's intended purpose if it fits, and post it here!
The only one that I've come up with so far was inspired by an idea of mystery_muse, in which Zero's DNA/the Virus actually overwrites the DNA of any reploid it infects, making them almost identical on the DNA level. My idea from this was that this method actually turns reploids into mini-Zeros, under his command and capable of infecting more reploids. Essentially, Zero could replicate his own ARMY from scratch, turning any potential enemies into his slaves. This ability was partially passed onto Sigma, where he has (somewhat less) sway over any infected reploid.
You got any similar ideas? Fire away!
