Cordyceps Brain Infection (Earth-1736)

"He was exposed to the 113. It does something to people."

- - Thomas Miller to Joel Miller

The Cordyceps Brain Infection, formerly known as ALZ-112 and ALZ-113, was an artificially created parasictic fungi infection engineered from the Cordyceps genus, designed to Alzheimer's disease. The brainchild of Dr. Alice Krippin and Gen-Sys Laboratories, the first test of the fungi was a success with apes, with the fungi controlling and restoring some of their neural functions, but the effects were not permanent and the patients died. To enhance it, a more powerful strain was created, which eventually became fatal to humans and led to the Cordyceps Brain Pandemic, destroying most of humanity in the process.
