A private public partnership was formed with [[Ultracorps]], to cope with the devastation. Unique antibiotics and anti-bacterial substances were developed and deployed to halt the spread of The Plagues. Teams of Differents were also dispatched to combat outbreaks. [[Heater]]s would burn infected material that [[Speedster]] and [[Strong-Man]] Differents would gather up. By 1995, The Plagues were considered controlled, although outbreaks can and do continue to occur on occasion. The U.S. government takes credit for the victory, although some experts argue that the repression of The Plagues was inevitable, as they had already consumed all of available material and died off naturally. |
