The very first Virus-20.

So the year is 2001, I started drawing random characters for TeamArtail and came up with this random character.

I then found a place called The Sonic Stadium and wanted to become a member there, I didn't have a user name and did not know what name to get until i noticed my e-mail Virusdata20[at]hotmail.com so I called my self Virus-20 and then needed a character but was stump on what animal i wanted to be and then I will just be a Virus. So I picked the drawing I made for the Team Artail site, even though they never put my artwork there at all.

and thus, Virus-20 was born.
