Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Fridge Brilliance: All the white blood cells are voiced by black actors.
Fridge Horror: Frank will die one day, and when he does the civilization inside him will be destroyed.
Also, everybody is controlled by a "mayor" and multiple other cells inside the head. Basically, nobody actually has any free will.
But we are controlled by multiple cells inside of our heads.
When you think about it, a sentient virus would pride themself on killing everything, so slowly but surely Thrax aims to try and kill every living thing on Earth.
In many ways, Thrax actually behaves much more like an engineered bioweapon than like a naturally occurring virus (see Art Major Biology entry). Which would mean that he was designed for killing, and that whoever created him (terrorists, the military, take your pick) has more samples stored away...
According to The Other Wiki, bacillus anthracis is a soil-borne bacteria that can be contracted via ingestion and causes death by invoking cold or flu-like symptoms, such as, say, a fever. Bacillus anthracis. Otherwise known as anthrax. What's even more disturbing? How anthrax was even exposed to the monkey cage at the zoo in the first placed, and how many cases of Thrax are now just waiting to happen...
Thrax doesn't actually cause anthrax, though. He causes an entirely fictional disease.
The way Thrax is hellbent on killing as many humans as possible, as quickly as possible, it could be a class 1 or 2 for the outside world if he escaped Frank.
When Thrax died in the beaker of alcohol, that's what happens to every germ on your body whenever you use hand sanitizer. Yikes.
Because of Aesop Amnesia, in Ozzy and Drix, Frank for some reason starts becoming unhealthy again, and both Ozzy and Drix are carried away by a mosquito to someone else...
