Topic: what virus is this?

Posted under Off Topic

Its been featured in many cartoons. Rick and morty, Dexter's lab, and regular show.
Description, red hexagon crystal for a head followed by a rod or spring like body and spider like legs ending in hooks.
In rick and morty someone said it was E Coli, but I google it and it doesn't look right.
in regular show and Dexter's lab it was the doomagedon computer virus.

So anyone got any idea's, pretty sure its an actual bacteria or virus because its always shown exactly the same way.

You can find some more information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_phage :)

It's been pretty much in every cartoon iirc

Also, in Dexter's lab, the virus came from a game called "Game Master" 8)

I miss those good old cartoons
