MetaVirus

The MetaVirus is a small fragment of Douglas's ability to assimilate inorganic materials & the means Marcus & Emily use to create the Viratrons. Portions of the data are later copied onto Viratron Upgrades that use the particular Viratrons as marks to transport to Earth from Douglas's evil lair.

Card-type
Marcus uses the Metaviruses in the form of credit cards. Marcus creates Viratrons by infecting a machine or inanimate object with the Metavirus. The resulting data is later copied onto the Viratron Upgrade who uses the particular Viratron as its mark.

Later on, Marcus managed to obtain stronger versions of standard Metavirus Cards in the form of Metavirus 2.0. The Viratrons created with these Metaviruses are more stronger than their normal counterparts & are far more of a threat. Marcus later used the design of the Metavirus Cards to create the more powerful Data Cards.
