The Virus is the titular main antagonist of The Amazing World of Gumball episode of the same name. He's an evil mutating virus whose goal was to infect Gumball's body and take over the world, but after his army was wiped out, he sweared revenge on Gumball and planned to wipe out all organic life in the planet.
He is voiced by Kerry Shale who also voiced Larry Needlemeyer in the same show.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- Even before his army was wiped out, he was already a bad person who planned to infect Gumball's body along with his troops to later take over everyone's body to rule the world.
- After his whole army was wiped out by Teri, he swears revenge on Gumball and explicitly says he plans to infect him, his friends, his family and later wipe out all organic life in the planet until there's nothing left in the surface on Earth.
- He attempts to infect Gumball when he was licking a keyboard, and when some bacteria appeared because they also wanted to share and take Gumball's body, The Virus fought them all and exploded them until there was no one left.
- After Gumball, Darwin and Teri discover his existence he yells swears at Gumball and later grows wings to chase them.
- Once the three of them are in the Watterson household, Virus tricks Gumball into clicking a suspicious link to infect the laptop and subsequently all the electronic devices in the house to use them as weapons to kill them.
- He later mutates again and chases them through the neighborhood with an army of cars until they are in a dead end and was close in killing them before Gumball called him out on his lack of honor.
- Despite the series high heinous standard, Virus manages to stand out thanks to being one of the only villains with a permanent kill count of 14 bacteria, only surpassed by Ant-One with 126, and even if Virus' kill count is really low compared to Ant-One, his attempted kill count incredibly surpasses that of Ant-One and other villains, he also has less screentime and resources than villains who also attempt omnicide like Gargaroth and Bobert, who are more powerful than him in the case of Gargaroth or get more screentime in Bobert's case in comparison to The Virus who's a single-appearance character.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- Much like most Gumball villains, he's played for laughs too much and lacks enough seriousness to be NPE or PE. We can see these moments when:
- He screams swearing revenge of Gumball only to reveal no one heard him.
- The scene where he fails to infect Gumball thanks to being distracted killing the bacteria that also wanted to infect Gumball and later screaming in exasperation after noticing he failed.
- His whole monologue when coming face to face with Gumball only to be easily killed by Gumball merely stepping on him, making a "squish" sound in the process.
- He cares for his fallen comrades as his revenge on Gumball was primarily motivated by this.
- He's honorable, as seen when after Gumball called him a coward for using a car army on them when he was supposed to be a warrior, The Virus said he didn't need an army to take him down and accepted Gumball's challenge on facing him face to face.
Trivia[]
- He's so far along with Ant-One the only Gumball Inconsistently Heinous villains who have died permanently in the show.
