Manga[]
MegaMan NT Warrior[]
Life Virus in the manga.
The Life Virus appears in the chapter "Battleground Silver Tower", of the manga series when Dr. Wily stole the ultimate program and upgraded the Life Virus with it. MegaMan and the whole Anti World Three Team arrived to battle the Life Virus. They hit it with their best shots, but it was useless against the Life Aura. Not only did the Life Virus have a great defense, but also a powerful offense, as it took out all the members of the Anti World Three Team in one hit with Meteor, except MegaMan and ProtoMan, leaving them to battle it. However, it turned out that the ultimate program and life aura were incomplete; only a major hit was needed to take it down. Dr. Hikari explained, that the only way to defeat the Life Virus was to get past the life aura, as it only takes a millisecond for the aura to reset. ProtoMan attacked with Knight Sword to take out the life aura, allowing MegaMan to get through in full Synchro Mode to destroy the Life Virus by sacrificing himself.

After the defeat of Ultimate Navi Gospel, Wily shows that by combining the the Bit Life Viruses, he can create the completed Life Virus. Upon forming, Lan and gang's PET instantaneously explodes. Wily explains his goal is to spread the virus via e-mail and destroy every users' PET in the world. In a nick of time, Chaud arrives to give the Plug-in PET, giving Lan a second chance to fight. Wily then creates more Bit Life Viruses and attaches them to the Life Virus using the Super Program Creation Data, elaborating he can create more Ultimate Bodies if he wishes. Through perseverance and a teamwork synchronization, Lan and MegaMan destroys the Life Virus.
