Phantom Virus

Appearance

The Phantom Virus is a glowing humanoid made of electrical energy with a seemingly artificial intelligence. It was mainly light blue in color and only clothed for disguise.

Creator

Bill McLemore

Species

Computer virus

Personality

It had an obsession with baseball, mirrored by its creator, which was the gang's main clue as to who the culprit was. It had the ability to extract data from various electrical devices, as well as control machines and cables. The Phantom Virus was, however, weak in close proximity to magnets, causing agonizing deformation or even the inability to move. It is unknown if Bill could control the Phantom Virus, or if the Phantom Virus recognized Bill as its creator. It also had a bit of a sadistic personality.

Weakness

Magnets This could be a reference to how magnets can harm computers.

Abilities

The Phantom Virus was a powerful entity. As a being made from a computer, it had the ability to absorb any digital data. It was also able to manipulate anything made out of electrical energy, such as shooting bolts of lightning. During the final battle inside Eric's video game, the Phantom Virus's powers were increased at a greater magnitude. For example, it was able to conjure a tornado made out of electricity and flying objects (balls from the arcade shooting game) and bring the game machines to life.
