The Mutant Daughter

The Leper Queen was originally a normal woman whose unborn child was "infected" by a passing mutant.

At an anti-mutant rally held in Iowa by the Friends of Humanity, the Leper Queen delivers the former Morlock known as

Beautiful Dreamer into the crowd, where her injection with a modified version of the Legacy Virus is responsible for killing all the people attending the rally and herself, even though the Leper Queen feels guilt over killing humans for Bastion's cause.[10]

Fever Pitch is infected and used to kill thousands of innocent people, the Leper Queen captures Surge, Hellion, and Boom Boom, infects the latter two with the virus, and sends them to attack the United Nations.
