Microbe (Zachary Smith Jr.) is a fictional character, a superhero from Marvel Comics. He debuted in New Warriors Vol. 3 #1. He is a mutant with the ability to communicate with germs and other microscopic organisms. He is a member of the New Warriors. Not much is known about him, only a few details. He is Night Thrasher's adopted son, overweight, and not very hygienic. It was revealed that he has a rather tragic past. His biological father (a prominent medical researcher) thought he had discovered a way to cure previously incurable diseases. Instead, it turned out that Microbe had unknowingly used his mutant power and "talked" the diseases into acting out the results his father wanted. Disgraced, his father disowned Microbe, leaving the teen heartbroken and alone. Out of compassion, Night Thrasher adopted him and began training him to be a superhero. Microbe is among the New Warriors dead after an explosion in Stamford, Connecticut that has started Marvel's Civil War.
