Um, So, Weird Question, How Does Immunity Work In The Maze Runner Series? Specifically Is It Genetic?

Um, so, weird question, how does immunity work in the Maze Runner series? Specifically is it genetic?

Context: Almost all of the Gladers are immune. That's the whole point. Newt isn't. Why would he be there if he wasn't immune?

I think he's got something going on for the same reason that AMAB people who have biological full AFAB siblings with hemophilia, autism and the like have a much higher chance of having the same issue. This is because AMAB people typically only have one copy of the genes that their AFAB siblings have two of. Any imperfection given to them by the parents, even ones that are dormant in the parents, will almost certainly show up in their AMAB offspring. (Please note, my summary of genetics is WILDLY simplified.)

So, if Lizzie is immune, it is quite likely that Newt would have been.

Personally I think he was semi-immune, like how the effectiveness of your antibodies decreases after you get sick, but I just think there was no reason for WICKED to take him if he wasn't immune. I mean, they just murdered his parents in front of him, there's literally no reason for them to take him.

Anyways, rant over. Sorry if everything in this is wildly incorrect.

Scaramouche: Hey mom- PANTALONE- I MEANT PANTALONE.

Pants: *Would totally let that side, because he actually does more of Ei's mom duties than Ei does.*

Kaeya: Mood

Pants: Oh Tsaritsa no-

Dottore: Mommy.

Pants: *Sinks into the floor*

Signora: *dies of laughter*

Pants: *buries face in hands*

Childe: MOTHER

Pants: I hate you all.

Pierro: Has mom been drinking?

Pants: NOT YOU TOO-

Columbina: MOOOOOOOOOOM What's for dinner?

Captiano: Yeah mom what's for dinner?

Pulcinella: Yeah MOM.

Reasons I don't like Rick Riordan:

Chiron's characterization. This son of a titan raised so many actual, mythological Greek heroes (Achilles, Patroclus, Odysseus, Heracles, Jason, I could go on) and he did it damn well. He's not just gonna send a bunch of kids into a war with absolutely zero context on it, and he's not just going to abandon them when they leave camp. If you want to write a book about Greek mythology, taking characters from Greek mythology, then maybe you should actually read some Greek mythology.

Nico's existence. Hades is famous for being the one guy who never cheated on his wife. The one person who tried to sleep with him got turned into a mint plant. Nico cannot exist in Greek mythology because Hades would never sleep with Maria.

Athena having kids. Athena is a maiden goddess. She doesn't sleep with men. She thus cannot have biological children. Even if we are going the magic route, she still likely wouldn't even give a man a second (or let's be honest, first) glance.

Ares wouldn't lose. Ares wouldn't lose to an experienced fighter like Heracles or Achilles, he won't lose to some random kid, even if the kid IS a child of Poseidon.

His one Muslim character worships a god who is not Allah. This is against Muslim religion. She is a Valkyrie. This is against Muslim religion. She takes off her hijab in front of men who are not her biological and/or legal family. This is against Muslim religion.

He blocked fans who asked him (politely) to apologize, explain or even acknowledge his wrongdoings.

I could make more of these if people want them. I'm autistic and one of my fixations is Greek mythology (Notably NOT Percy Jackson) so I know a thing or two, and I'm literally part Scandinavian so I can slander Magnus Chase with my whole heart and soul.

If you want a good Norse mythology book, read the Iron Druid series. Leif is an absolute icon and his relationship with Hal is everything you could want in a ship, platonic or romantic. Atticus' dog is adorable and, as much as Atticus himself irritates me sometimes,

Sophone, Kleia, Pelagos, Nikolon (left to right). I'm right.

Somewhere along the way I ended up shipping Dionysus and Chiron (No this is not Percy Jackson, we do not stan Rick, he needs to take accountability) so here's that Dio: I WANT TO GIVE HIM THINGS

Dio: LIKE DICK AND SELF ESTEEM

Chiron: He knows I can hear him, right?

Anyways yeah if he's the only therapist on Mount Olympus, he's gotta be telepathic, and I love that for him XD

Here in the SCP Foundation, we don't have Death, Famine, War and Conquest, we have Bright, Kondraki, Iceberg and Clef, in that order! Gears is Satan, managing all four, and Light is Jesus coming to save the day from these absolute fucking idiots (/affectionate).
