[edit] Fictional character biography
Plague is an old woman with the power to adapt her immune system to any virus or disease and then mutate it so that she can transmit it to another living being through touch. After she survives the Mutant Massacre of the Morlocks, Apocalypse chooses her to join his Horsemen as Pestilence.[1] She flies alongside her team during the assault on Manhattan, and kills countless humans. She eventually dies after Julie Power knocks her from her electric flying horse.[2]
