Don't... you're just working me up to one of my "Magik didn't die of Legecy and

Plus, while I haven't read the last 2 issues, wasn't there a human team working on the
genetics of the Inhumans, taking samples? Maybe they made something that went bad and
'poof' created a new virus?
History of the Legacy Virus ... wasn't it created in our time, but modified in the future?

I see what you mean, but at the time I just thought: okay, it's

Because that's not what they said. They said the pattern was illogical, not
that there was no pattern at all. This suggests that it might have been
targetted than anyone suspected, or perhaps under some form of control. But
as it was never addressed... >> Stay informed about: Legacy Virus question |

The Eternals have full control of thier bodies in a molecular level which
prevents them from being sick I think.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Legacy Virus question |

If in order to get Magik back I had to have Doug, as well, then I'd gladly pay
the
price.

What, you mean just because she substituted the Limbo version for
herself? I'd _never_ get anyone started on that.  <!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Legacy Virus question |

I'm still waiting for the logic behind someone having to die in order
for the cure to work. I'm glad real science doesn't work this way.
I never would have paid for my pneumonia vaccine.

That's why, in another post, I described the cure as a sacrifice to the
gods. It's a heck of a lot better explanation for what we saw than the
"science".<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Legacy Virus question |

I mean, c'mon, we _saw_ Rahne grab little Illyana from Limbo, and we
always knew that one Illyana had escaped.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Legacy Virus question |

Well, as Blakgard said, there wasn't a whole lot of logic to the cure
story in the first place. The story was incredibly stupid.
