The ability to **become a technological virus**. Technique of Computer Virus Manipulation. Variation of Program Physiology. Opposite to Computer Anti-Virus Physiology.

## Also Called

* Computer Virus Mimicry
* Digital Virus Physiology/Mimicry

## Capabilities

Users of this ability are able to become a living computer virus. They are capable of spreading their virus and infecting a numerous amount of technology, allowing them to bend technical appliances to their will. Once the technical appliance has been hi-jacked, it is merely an extension of their control. Users are also capable of giving themselves a digital cybernetic body for physical purposes.

Despite the fact of the user becoming a virus, this power is not an evil power due to the fact that this power can be used in good ways, like destroying villain's computers, dis-configuring or recovering data.

## Applications

* Duplicate yourself by using other people's power to create something.
* Duplication and self-duplication powers are included in the materialization powers.
* Some transformation powers are included if they imply creation of new material to increase the mass.
* Transformation
* Digital Evolution
* Technology-based abilities.
* Take control of Sprites and turn them into Virals' (Personal Servants/Allies).

## Variations

* Benign Virus: Spreads quickly through a system but doesn't directly harm it.
* Chaos Virus: Causes chaos and destruction to systems.
* Class-5 Virus: Drains energy and destroys systems.
* Control/Order Virus: Takes control of systems and its inhabitant's (Ex: Binomes).
* Cron Virus: Infects the entire net and orders a self-destruction, the strongest virus.
* Spectral Virus: Living, floating balls of energy that cannot reboot and create tears in a system.
* Super Virus: A higher class virus capable of intense destruction and powers.
* Trojan Horse Virus: Copy other programs' appearance and get past security programs.
* Viral Worm: Mindless en masse viruses that spread their infection indiscriminately.

## Associations

* Artificial Intelligence Physiology
* Computer Virus Manipulation
* Cyberpresence
* Digital Form
* Program Physiology

## Limitations

* Transformation powers that respect the laws of conservation cannot be reprogrammed.
* Could be vulnerable to those outside of the data-based world (such as people using the computer they inhabit).
* Powers that only create mental objects or intangible energy (light, heat, force) are immune to it.
* Can be overpowered by anti-virus.
* Could be outwitted by users of Viral Immunity.
