Thrax vs Necroa Virus

[Flashlight237]

So here's the deal. Thrax and the Necroa Virus are both huge threats. So here's the deal.

The Necroa Virus caused humanity to go extinct and is more hax'd than Thrax, but at the same time, the Necroa Virus has literally zero intelligence and is comparable in size to a flu virus (60 to 80 nanometers). On the other hand, Thrax has slightly better hax, as he has molecular-level heat manip going for him, plus he's comparable in size to Ozzy: a white blood cell (12-15 microns). That and unlike the Necron Virus which needs to spread to kill someone, Thrax killed a man singlehandedly within 72 hours on record. As for the Necroa Virus... I couldn't find any figures for how long it takes for it to kill a person. The best I could find is it being likened to rabies in the comments section of the wiki article, and rabies takes 2 to 10 days after symptoms appear to kill someone (average 6 days). Anyway...

Obviously this is the virus itself vs Thrax. Speed is equalized because I have no idea how a more run-of-the-mill virus can move.

Here are their profiles:

Can Thrax attack Necroa Virus? And another question: can Necroa virus infect Thrax (Small Size 4 vs. Small Size 3)? Interesting.

GREAT BUMP

1. He should be able to. Comparing Thrax to a Necroa Virus would be like comparing a man to an ant sizewise. An individual virus would definitely lose in a single hit, but given how viruses work, there's more of a possibility that Thrax would face an anthill instead of an ant.
2. Ehh... I don't think the profile has anything on the Necroa Virus being virophagic.

Only option I see is basically heat manip, but profile claims that Thrax is able to break cells into molecules and more larger structures set in fire which I think is not enough to "kill" Necroa Virus considering it's an molecule structure itself. So Necroa cannot directly infect Thrax and Thrax is not able to attack Necroa (1 nanometer is 0,001 of 1 microne so Thrax will not be able even see a such small thing such as Necroa. For example: ant is 250 times smaller than human while Necroa virus is thousands times smaller than Thrax).

Necroa simply can't directly attack unless it's Reactive Evolution will not be triggered to counter Thrax's attempts to do so in case Thrax will somehow detect Necroa in infected body.

I think Thrax will kill human anyway and then Necroa simply reanimates it into the zombie. That is. Any other ideas?

Bruh, the profile literally says this: "Isn't much larger than a normal virus"

I literally used the flu virus (the first thing people think about when it comes to viruses) as the size reference for the Necroa Virus, which itself is 60 to 80 nanometers in size. Thrax is comparable in size to Ozzy, who's a white blood cell (12 to 15 microns).

I can only see big diff in Small Size. In-verse Thrax can be "isn't much larger" which is Type 3, but Necroa is more realistic in this way which made it Type 4. No offense, but size here really matters imo.

Shit insomnia made my thinking process go brrr. Sorry. You were referring to the Necroa.
Anyway Type 4 allows it to be "invisible" for Thrax.

Bruh, if a 1-centimeter ant isn't invisible to a 1.8-meter human, then I doubt a Necroa Virus would be invisible to Thrax.

Size different. I added example with ant and human in post above. Hundreds time vs. thousands times. This is incon for sure.

Here's the thing.
What can the necroa virus do to thrax?
I first considered the necroa using thrax to multiply but thrax is another virus, not a cell.

There's talk about sizes so let's look at this. I'll take the smallest necroa measurement given versus the biggest thrax measurement given. 60 nanometers vs 15 microns
60E-9
15E-6

(15E-6)/(60E-9) = 250
So about a 250x size difference.

Putting that into perspective, the OP gave the example of a 1 cm ant to a 1.8 m tall human.
1.8m is 180 cm which means the ant is 1/180 the size. So the OP gave some hard size numbers in the post making necroa ant size.

There is actually a creature I want to bring up. They're called chiggers. Chiggers are also the name for red mites. Extraordinarily tiny. The adults are around 3 mm across. Really hard to see but definitely possible. You won't see them under most circumstances because they prefer wooded and grassy areas so not only do they blend in with the dirt but they're also probably under twigs and leaves. But they may crawl out of that area and onto something like concrete. I see them on the sidewalk all the time.

That said, 3 mm across is a big difference as even if we take a 1.8 m tall human
1800
3
1800/3
That's 1/600 the size as opposed to 1/1000.

Had the chiggers I've seen been 1/3 their size, I can't guarantee I'd see them.

That said if we go by math, 1/3 the size is too much as they'd be 1/1800.

But a chigger 2mm across? Could I see it? Ehhh...I can't make a place on that. And for math's sake, that's 1/900.

So can Thrax see necroa? Maybe. We'd need to nail down their sizes into something more precise. If thrax was 1 micron, even being 2 nanometers across would make a difference as it'd be 1/500th the size and around the size of a chigger.

If we go by the measurements the OP has, then Thrax would see them as ants.

I see you considered multiple necroa fighting thrax suggesting you are considering the idea the necroa is multiplying in the host body during the fight.

So either thrax kills them at a rate faster than they can reproduce. Or they reproduce faster than thrax can kill them.
But I'm opting for the former. Necroa has heat resistance but lists surviving in arid environments. Thrax being able to generate heat that can separate molecules means he vastly surpasses that heat.

Plus the tried and true method of squishing them.

Yeah, I'm leaning more for Thrax.
