A week after the somber first anniversary of the Fusion Wave, a mass "epidemic" of extreme increases of libido (sex drive) in urban and suburban populations in North America, Europe, parts of Asia, and Japan were reported.
Though both untransformed individuals and transformed individuals were heavily affected, the extreme increases of libido tended to be even more severe in mutants, particularly those that already had an increase in libido due to the Fusion Wave and those with multiple or large genitals and an increased amount of erogenous zones.
The victims were headed to school or their jobs or set about running errands and living their lives when they were afflicted with a sudden massive increase in their sex drives. In almost all cases, the victims "fell ill" before noon, in every affected time zone.
The sudden initial mental haze and subsequent overpowering sensation of lust* most victims experienced caused a great deal of accidents - car crashes, equipment failures, construction failures, train derailments, plant shutdowns and meltdowns, and even 2 plane crashes were attributed to the sudden afflictions.
* Specifically, besides being caused by the distracting mental haze, many accidents were caused by the need to either immediately masturbate, or were caused by the sudden erection of large phallic organs.
In many cases, afflicted individuals also attempted to sexually assault others in attempts to relieve themselves, resulting in a good deal of deaths from self-defense, and mass panic at workplaces and schools.
These events reignited the public fear of mutants and the transformed, and led to a 2-day period of unrest that unfortunately caused the loss of life.
The WTEA called it a great setback in transformee relations with the untransformed public.
The exponentially increased libido levels of surviving (and restrained) victims did not begin to decrease until about 7 hours later, for all victims.
After 12 hours, they were all declared back to normal
After careful investigation of the causes of death, it was determined that there were 861 lost lives in the incident. Many were injured.
Property damage stood over 11 Billion Dollars.
