The Legacy Virus

The Legacy Virus exists in the world of the X-Men. This virus was originally intended to kill all non-mutants but was mutated by a terrorist to instead...kill actual mutants. Legacy searched for the genes that gave a mutant his or her superpowers and would begin inserting junk DNA into the victim's RNA patterns. This process was typically started once the mutant activated their powers for the first time following infection. This junk DNA eventually rendered the body incapable of creating healthy cells which would eventually kill the infected. Before death, the mutant's superpowers would flare out of control.
