The OTAC Virus, once created as a bioadaptive stem cell research project to aid in anatomical replacement or reparation. Now twisted into a technomechanical pathogen turning the afflicted into deadly machine mutants under Anomaly's control.
History
Prime Earth
The O.T.A.C was an adaptable pseudo organic nubotechnology capable of being directly injected into a living person's being in order to convert living tissue and reprogram it however the editor in question sees fit.[1] Steadily but assuredly splicing into and rewriting the very DNA of an individual at a biochemical level; making anyone exposed to it transmorph from the atomic structure outward. Originally created as a miracle treatment to prevent the spread of incurable diseases by Silas & Elinore, the experiment to create a semi-sentient super iota capable of reworking itself and surrounding tissue in a benign nature went awry. Causing the fatal illness that would afflict the latter of the two; inevitably claiming her life in the following years.[2]
In the interim Dr. Stone would experiment with thirteen artificially produced homunculi created in his image using his Omniscient Transformational Advanced Cell's and a few samples of his own cellular matrix. Cruelly experimenting upon his doppelgangers in a desperate bid to find a cure for his ailing wife. When that failed the grieving professor would have the fruits of his failed labors disposed of.
One of which, eventually seeking revenge for the years of mistreatment at it's creators hand, would rework it's Omniscient Transformational Advanced Cell comprised body into a deadly virus with which to remove humanity from the world. O.T.A.C's main means of infection is via direct injection through technomechanical epidermal syringe breach; upon affliction the virus can be used to stimulate mutagenetic change of the subject to unparalleled degrees.[3] Either instilling preternatural meta abilities such as the case with Rattatack and his direct control over common Rodentia, to the complete genophysical conversion of flesh & bone to circuitry and steel; such as with the case of an alt. Anomaly's Mecha-Human zombies.[4]
