"Patient Zero" was an EVO that put all of humanity into a permanent sedative state until the unlikely team up of Rex and White Knight put it to an end.
History[]
Originally an ill patient at a hospital, Patient Zero was quarantined after his nanites activated—gaining a tentacle-arm and a bloated, misshapen head. His nanites interacted with the virus and, in essence, affected the virus as well. Panicked, the hospital staff managed to sedate and quarantine him. However, his terrified state proved to somehow aggravate the virus. Threatened, it began to infect humans and caused them to fall into a coma-like sleep. Within a short time frame, all humans, worldwide were comatose, leaving them exposed to danger such as EVOs and dehydration.
Rex along with Dr. Holiday, who was keeping herself awake with electric shocks, faced the grueling task of stopping accidents, dealing with EVOs who would take advantage of the situation and hunt for Patient Zero. When Holiday finally passed out, Rex was forced to work with White Knight to find and stop Patient Zero. The two eventually located the EVO at a hospital where it had cocooned the walls with virus tendrils, therefore spreading the virus as a defense. Noting their approach, the creature raised a pair of "ears" causing Rex to think the EVO was still transforming. Rex tried to cure the patient but the virus kept shielding its host, therefore unable to have its nanites deactivated.

Rex and White Knight find Patient Zero.
Deciding to take his usual approach, White Knight was prepared to kill the patient but Rex quickly realized that they needed the patient to command the virus to shut down. He and Rex entered a brawl, starting a fire in the hospital. While they fought, they failed to notice the EVO virus fully take over and protect its host by turning into an EVO.
Chasing after the EVO, Rex again tried to heal it but the patches he touched quickly regenerated before Rex's nanites could finish their work. Running out of options, Rex remembered Holiday's words about the victim being Patient Zero and realized they were, in fact, dealing with two EVOs The giant monster they were facing was the virus itself and the man was its host which it was defending. Getting White Knight to distract it, Rex allowed the creature to swallow him so he could get at the host who was still unconscious in a coma. Using his nanites, Rex was then able to wake the man, deactivate his nanites and stop the virus beast which melted away.[1]
