In a setting where humanity is being wiped out by The Plague, there will sometimes be one person who is mysteriously immune to the disease. This could be due to some inborn genetic resistance to the disease, or it could be that they are unknowingly exposing themselves to the cure in the course of their daily life (particularly if the disease has an Improbable Antidote). On occasion, especially in works that are short or Cut Short, there is no explanation. Discovering this immune character is often the key to finding a cure to the disease, with the main difficulties being getting them safely to the scientists who can develop a cure and figuring out what factor in their environment protected them. Another possibility is that developing the cure might require extreme measures, leading to dramatic ethical dilemmas and making the immune character unwilling to cooperate. The heroes will want to protect and study this character to find a cure and save mankind. A Corrupt Corporate Executive may want to kidnap them in order to monopolize the cure, and if The Government is involved in the development of the cure, they will always seem almost creepily enthusiastic in going out of their way to find methods that will not only be highly lethal but also unnecessarily painful. If the disease was deliberately engineered by a villain, then they may want to hunt down and kill the Immune to prevent a cure from being developed. In darker works, this character's immunity might not be able to be turned into a cure for others, in which case they can become The Aloner in an empty world After the End. In really dark works, someone who had been the Immune ceases to be. Perhaps they were protected by environmental factors that were undermined before they were recognized. If this character isn't affected by The Virus but is still perfectly capable of spreading it to others, they may also play the role of Typhoid Mary or Poisonous Person. If the character was not human to begin with, Hybrid-Overkill Avoidance may protect them from becoming a Hybrid Monster. Note that this trope is completely different from the Real Life term "asymptomatic carrier" (that's Typhoid Mary) — a person who is immune will not have the disease or virus in the body even if they contract it (and thus unable to spread the virus or disease), while a asymptomatic carrier will be carrying the virus or disease in the body, but show no symptoms of the virus or disease (and have same potential to spread the virus or disease). However, these two concepts have been used interchangeably and often misused. Compare Ideal Illness Immunity, a character or species that isn't just resistant to this one disease, but cannot get sick, ever. |

Carrying into Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, Artina a.k.a. Vulcanus shows absolutely no signs of A-Virus corruption during Chapter 6, and took a shot meant for Valvatores at the end of Chapter 5. The blood of angels like her is a panacea for all forms of disease, the A-Virus included. While Valvatores resists through sheer willpower, or so he claims, after winning Chapter 6, she issues blood samples to the demons both to treat the pandemic and simultaneously fill Celestia's coffers. | |

Saul and his mother Tanya from We're Alive are believed to be immune to the zombie outbreak after several close calls. This is pretty much confirmed in the final season when Saul is bitten directly on the neck by a zombie and doesn't turn. In the epilogue, many people believe that Saul and Lizzy's son, Nicolas, may also be immune, but he hasn't been exposed so it's unknown whether he is or not. | |

The plot of Pokémon Detective Pikachu involves a gaseous Psycho Serum called R, which temporarily shuts down a Pokémon's higher cognitive functions and drives them into a berserk rage. Detective Pikachu ends up inhaling the stuff at multiple points but is never affected (though the movie never draws direct attention to this). That's because he's actually a Fusion Dance of Pikachu and Tim's father Harry. Since his mind isn't that of a Pokémon, it can't affect him. | |

In Venomized, the Anti-Venom symbiote proves not only immune to Poison infestation, but instantly lethal to the smaller Poisons and able to one-shot even the huge ones with effort. Unfortunately, it is only immune to infestation; other Poison weapons still work on it, as shown when Anti-Venom starts getting smug about it and Poison Thanos immediately slams an energy blast into him. | |

Dragon Age: Meta-example: In Dragon Age: Origins, the entire party is this to the darkspawn taint. Alistair and the player character already have the taint by virtue of being Grey Wardens, but the others in the party develop an immunity to it purely as a gameplay necessity. It was originally intended that the party members could be put through the Joining ritual to become Grey Wardens, as they would otherwise be dying from the taint toward the end of the game, but this was jettisoned for plot and time reasons. Their immunity is not mentioned in the game. This actually serves as a minor plot point in Dragon Age: Inquisition. A magister researching Leliana, a returning character and former Origins companion discovers her to have a higher resistance to the taint than any known subject. Members of the Seekers of Truth, essentially Templar Internal Affairs, are immune to mind control and Demonic Possession. It is a benefit of the same initiation ritual that allows them to use special anti-magic powers without lyrium. Seekers are made Tranquil and then immediately cured by having a Spirit of Faith touch the initiate's mind. If successful, the initiate gains the powers and immunity of a Seeker. If unsuccessful, the initiate is left permanently Tranquil. At some point, a mage attempted to join the Seekers, seeing it as a solution to fact that Mages are at much higher risk of possession. He failed, and accidentally discovered that Tranquil mages can no longer use magic and become invisible to demons. Things spiraled downward from there over the next nine-hundred years. |

Disgaea: Not so much a plague as a curse, but Adell from Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories is the only one who doesn't turn demonic under Zenon's influence. It turns out that it's because Adell was a demon to begin with. He never discovers this himself, but it becomes quite obvious to the player. Carrying into Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, Artina a.k.a. Vulcanus shows absolutely no signs of A-Virus corruption during Chapter 6, and took a shot meant for Valvatores at the end of Chapter 5. The blood of angels like her is a panacea for all forms of disease, the A-Virus included.

This is part of the premise of Double Arts, in which the world has been decimated by a mysterious plague (a plague with no permanent cure). While there is a small percentage of young women who possess a tolerance to the disease, it is only the protagonist, a young man named Kiri Luchile, who is truly immune to its effects and even has the capability to nullify the disease when it reaches its final stage; by physically touching the infected person, Kiri can effectively halt the progression of the plague and stave off the infected person's death, but only so long as he holds on to them. This is a major plot point. | |

The Simpsons: In the "Treehouse of Horror XX" segment Don't Have a Cow, Mankind, Bart is immune to the zombifying effects of the Krusty Burger. The survivors of the outbreak want to eat Bart, but they compromise by having Bart taking a bath with their food. The "Treehouse of Horror XXXIV" segment Lout Break features an illness brought about by Homer eating a radioactive donut that makes everyone it comes into contact with transform into a Homer-like clone. However, since the virus works by corrupting people with Homer's DNA, the three Simpson children are automatically immune because they already have his DNA. |

Ellie in The Last of Us. Technically, she is Infected, but a random mutation rendered her fungal growths harmless. At the end of the game, the Fireflies attempt to create a vaccine from her, even though the process will kill her.

Samus becomes immune to the X parasite in the opening of Metroid Fusion. When she is infected, some scientists try an experimental cure: cells from the (now dead) baby Metroid. It works, and she's sent to exterminate the X in the BSL station. The X get smart, though, and cold X start showing up at a later point in the game (this is because Samus inherited the Metroid's weakness to cold as well as its ability to absorb X). It takes an armor upgrade later on to allow Samus to absorb cold X. | |

In Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, both Ethan Winters and Zoe Baker are this to a degree, downplaying the trope. Ethan is heavily resistant to the mind-control aspect of the mutamycete's fungal infection, and so he doesn't start to begin suffering it until the final minutes of the game. Zoe, meanwhile, seems to be completely immune to the mind-control side of the infection, which is why she is The Un-Favourite amongst her infected kin, but this doesn't protect her from Eveline's ability to simply kill off those who are infected with her fungus, even after taking the fungicidal serum. You also later find out that Lucas is also immune to the Mind Control aspects of the infection, but thanks to a serum he was given by The Connections he still has full control of his mind: because he's enough of a Psychopathic Manchild (and even was before his infection), not even Eveline was able to realize he wasn't actually under her control. | |

This is part of The 100's backstory. When the nuclear bombs fell, certain people had a natural resistance to radiation, allowing them to survive while the rest of humanity died out. Their radiation immunity was passed on to their descendants, who became the Grounders. This becomes a problem in the second season in particular; the residents of Mount Weather, cut off from the outside world for almost a century, lacked any natural immunity to radiation, and were thus desperate to capture the Grounders or the Ark residents due to their heightened immunity (the Grounders from their time on the surface and the Ark residents through residual exposure to cosmic radiation). | |

The women theorize that this immunity is due to a combination of these five men contracting multiple sclerosis, going into cryostasis in hopes they would find a cure, and consequent cure during said sleep. As a result, these men possess valuable genes that the women compete over to birth a new human race. | |

The Last Ship: Most of humanity dies out as a result of a Synthetic Plague, with the eponymous ship going on a mission to develop a cure. In the second season it becomes apparent that a lot more people have a natural immunity than previously thought (around 5% of the population). They start a cult that portrays them as the "chosen people" and set out to kill all non-immunes, led by two immune British brothers who were the only survivors of the nuclear submarine they both served in. | |

Peeps: For some unknown reason, Carriers get the benefits of the parasite that causes "vampirism" while still managing to remain sane: night vision, super-strength, and long lifespans without the urge to commit cannibalism (just a craving for rare meat and a high libido) or aversion to everything they loved before infection. Unfortunately, they can transmit the parasite with as little as a kiss; those who work as hunters usually start out with their exes. | |

In My Name Is Earl, the "Witch Lady" tries to drug Catalina's tea, with the intent of storing her in the basement along with all the others she intends to kill for bullying her. Catalina gets down into the basement, but explains that she wasn't affected by the drug because so many men have tried to slip her date-rape drugs in the past that she's immune to them. She explains that she only pretended to be knocked out and allowed herself to be bagged and tossed in the basement because she felt sorry for the Witch Lady. | |

The Expanse: In Cibola Burn, an alien microbe blinds everyone on Ilus... except for Holden, who consequently ends up doing all the vision-critical jobs around the colony until a cure is found. It turns out to be his anti-cancer drugs. When they ask if they can borrow his drugs to fix everyone else's vision, which puts him at risk of developing tumors, his response is essentially, "And then I can take a nap?" | |

Sherry Birkin is more or less kidnapped by the US government and put under constant surveillance because, due to the events of Resident Evil 2, she is the sole known source of both the G-Virus and the Devil Vaccine that cured it. In Resident Evil 6, it's revealed that the Devil only suppressed G and allowed her body to assimilate it, giving her a powerful Healing Factor without losing her mind or turning into a mutant horror. | |

Not so much a plague as a curse, but Adell from Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories is the only one who doesn't turn demonic under Zenon's influence. It turns out that it's because Adell was a demon to begin with. He never discovers this himself, but it becomes quite obvious to the player. | |

InCryptid: All non-mammalian cryptids are immune to lycanthropy-w. This makes the Wadjet, who are snakes who can pass for human, really helpful as doctors for the infected. Frances Healy is largely immune to cuckoo mind control for reasons unexplored. Her descendants acquire an immunity through family exposure to cuckoo telepathy via Grandma Angela and Cousin Sarah. In Calculated Risks, we find out this is because she was half Kairos. Johrlac, being closer to insects than mammals, are immune to Lilu pheromones. On a more fantastic, less disease-related note, gorgons are naturally immune to the petrification abilities of basilisks and cockatrices, so they can keep them as livestock. |

Meta-example: In Dragon Age: Origins, the entire party is this to the darkspawn taint. Alistair and the player character already have the taint by virtue of being Grey Wardens, but the others in the party develop an immunity to it purely as a gameplay necessity. It was originally intended that the party members could be put through the Joining ritual to become Grey Wardens, as they would otherwise be dying from the taint toward the end of the game, but this was jettisoned for plot and time reasons. Their immunity is not mentioned in the game. This actually serves as a minor plot point in Dragon Age: Inquisition. A magister researching Leliana, a returning character and former Origins companion discovers her to have a higher resistance to the taint than any known subject. | |

The Plague in Stand Still, Stay Silent attacks all mammals, but in every species, some percent is immune. For humans in Year 90, it's about 7% in Iceland and 48% in the rest of Known World. All cats and non-mammalian species are immune as well. In spite of this, scientists are still looking for a cure, hinting that the discovery of immune people ultimately had limited impact on that particular venture. The trope gets an extra degree of deconstruction by having the setting regularly show the reader that the Plague Zombie monsters are still dangerous to those who are immune. In the prologue, immune non-combatants point out that they would die if they went outside the safe areas. Later in the story, an immune character who took a Plague Zombie bite in place of someone who isn't immune develops an infection due to the fact that she got bitten by another (sort of) living being, which carries the same risks as being bitten by an animal in real life, regardless of her incapacity to catch The Plague. Adventure II also reveals that there's a soul affecting only variant of the Rash that affects Finnish mages, and not even immune people are safe from it. | |

In Ninja Blade, parasitic hookworms known as "Alpha-worms" end up infesting the whole city and turning them into monsters... except for the ninja protagonist Ken Ogawa, who for some reason seems to be the only one immune to being infested, and can thus safely battle all the enemies. This turns out to be because he has toxic blood in him, which is deadly to any parasites that would dare try to infest him. He has that toxic blood because his father, Kanbe, has it too, so the immunity is genetic. | |

Casshern is immune because he caused the Ruin and is apparently something along the lines of The Punishment.

Stargate SG-1: In "The Broca Divide", Dr. Fraiser is immune to the virus due to the strong antihistamines she takes for allergies. Daniel Jackson is temporarily immune for the same reasons until he is trapped off-world and no longer has access to his medication. In "Legacy", a contagion that drives Daniel, Jack and Janet insane and threatens Teal'c's life is treated when it's determined that it was developed to kill Goa'uld in a host, allowing Sam to use the protein marker left by Jolinar to devise a cure. |

The Resident Evil series has several notable examples: It's eventually explained via subtle Retcon that the T-virus and its variants aren't 100% effective, and roughly 10% of humanity is resistant to it to some degree, in comparison to the original games running off the assumption that "your character is just so badass that they never got hit". Furthermore, Umbrella has worked on various antiviruses to the T-virus, most notably seen in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Sherry Birkin is more or less kidnapped by the US government and put under constant surveillance because, due to the events of Resident Evil 2, she is the sole known source of both the G-Virus and the Devil Vaccine that cured it. In Resident Evil 6, it's revealed that the Devil only suppressed G and allowed her body to assimilate it, giving her a powerful Healing Factor without losing her mind or turning into a mutant horror. Jill Valentine is implied to be immune to the T-Virus after being cured of her infection in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. This is confirmed in Resident Evil 5 when it's noted that after she got kidnapped by Albert Wesker, she turned out to be useless as a testbed for T-Viral experiments due to her innoculation back in 3. However, in the same game, it also works against her, as the antibodies in her blood were used to improve the Ouroboros virus and this made Wesker decide to brainwash her into serving him as The Dragon rather than just experimenting on her. Jake Muller is completely immune to the effects of the C-Virus because he is Albert Wesker's son and was conceived after Wesker was juiced up on the virus that gave him superpowers. Sergei Vladimir is a variant; he's one of the one in ten million who has "total genetic compatibility" with the T-Virus and all its strains, which means that infection doesn't turn him into a Technically-Living Zombie but rather into one of Umbrella's ultimate Super Soldiers, the Tyrants. In Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, both Ethan Winters and Zoe Baker are this to a degree, downplaying the trope. Ethan is heavily resistant to the mind-control aspect of the mutamycete's fungal infection, and so he doesn't start to begin suffering it until the final minutes of the game. Zoe, meanwhile, seems to be completely immune to the mind-control side of the infection, which is why she is The Un-Favourite amongst her infected kin, but this doesn't protect her from Eveline's ability to simply kill off those who are infected with her fungus, even after taking the fungicidal serum. You also later find out that Lucas is also immune to the Mind Control aspects of the infection, but thanks to a serum he was given by The Connections he still has full control of his mind: because he's enough of a Psychopathic Manchild (and even was before his infection), not even Eveline was able to realize he wasn't actually under her control. |

Halo: Sgt. Johnson was immune to infection by the Flood, either due to "Boren's Syndrome" caused by "overexposure to plasma grenade radiation", or the real reason hidden by the previous cover-up — the chemicals that were used to augment Johnson into a Spartan-I. Due to the physiology of Hunters (they're worm colonies with no central nervous systems), they are immune to direct Flood infection. In Halo 4, the Master Chief is exposed to the Libarian's memories, rendering him immune to the Composer. |

Phineas and Ferb: "Tip of the Day" has Doofenshmirtz invent a Delete-From-My-Mind-inator, which erases whatever he is thinking of from the memories of everyone in the Tri-State Area. However, people who are unaware of whatever he is thinking of at the moment will be unaffected, so when he unintentionally made everyone forget about aglets (which was Phineas and Ferb's Big Idea for the episode), only Candace was not affected because she never bothered to learn the name. In "Cheers for Fears", Doof's Worst-Fear-inator makes whatever is the worst fear of anyone who is zapped by it come to life. However, if the victim is fearless or has no fears at all (Perry for instance), it has no effect on them. In "Night Of The Living Pharmacists", Doof is immune to zombification as he is already himself. |

In The Lord of the Rings, Tom Bombadil is the only being completely unaffected by the One Ring (it cannot even make him vanish when he puts it on his finger), implied to be because there is nothing he desires in the world that the Ring can tempt him with. The Council of Elrond considers giving the Ring into his keeping because of this, but the problem is that the very cause of this immunity means he wouldn't be a good guardian — he wouldn't be able to appreciate how important the Ring is and would casually toss it aside and forget about it. As Tom doesn't seem to fit anywhere into Middle-Earth's greater cosmology (it only really becomes apparent if you read The Silmarillion, in which the connectedness of everything else is laid out), it's possible that the Ring doesn't work on him because he is somehow outside its influence. | |

In Red River (1995), Yuri proves to be immune to the plague ravaging the Hittite Empire when she spends an extended amount of time tending to the sick. Given that she's from modern times, Yuri believes her vaccinations have granted her immunity, while the people of the ancient time period just take this as further proof that Yuri is blessed by the gods. (A bit of Artistic License there: the historical plague that swept through Anatolia is generally agreed to have been tularemia, which is not a general vaccination and is only administered to high-risk groups due to dangerous side effects. Not to mention that one of the historical figures Yuri is based on, Gassulawiya, did die to the plague.) | |

Red Markets: Some people are immune to the Blight that causes zombies, and others, called "latents", become carriers after being bitten and become zombies after dying for some other reason. Immunity or latency can be established at character creation or discovered after getting bitten and making a critical success or critical failure on the fort save, respectively. A drug called Suppressin K-7864 was produced by the DHQS from a mixture of immune marrow cells and antibiotics. It doesn't cure the Blight or prevent infection entirely, but instead turns the infectee latent. As a result Immune in the Recession under government control are subject to "medical conscription" for their cells and in the Loss cults like the Crusaders (who seek a cure) and the Holy Communion (who think the Immune are holy, and eat them) have a habit of claiming their own samples. |

It's not really brought up in the game, but some of the in-game documents in Dishonored hint that all Serkonans are immune to the Rat Plague because they are the descendants of survivors of a Rat Plague outbreak on Serkonan who passed on their genetic immunity to their offspring. This would explain why Corvo and Daud, both Serkonans, never contract the Plague despite being exposed to it so often. | |

The Maze Runner: In The Death Cure, it is revealed that most of the kids who were part of WICKED's Trials, along with a very small percentage of the world's population called "Immunes", are immune to the Flare. WICKED took them from their families because they wanted to study their brains in the hope that this would eventually lead to a cure. The few among them who are not immune were chosen as control subjects. | |

The protagonist of I Am Legend is one of the few humans who are immune to the disease. He spend the next three years trying to synthesise a cure out of his blood for the humans who instead mutated into the feral Darkstalkers.note In the 2007 film, he's not the only immune survivor; in every other adaptation of the book, he is the last uninfected human, ever. | |

Everyone has some degree of resistance to it, but Kyousuke and Shigara's immunity is total. Given time and effort, he can even snap others out of it.

Prayer of the Faithless: Miasma and Fog can transform living beings into monsters, but this doesn't fully apply to all beings. Manna and Revenants are a downplayed example. Both are more resistant to Miasma and Fog than humans, but Manna will eventually die from the Fog when they reach the age of 10 while Revenants eventually turn into Hellspawn monsters. The Infused play this straight, since they are completely fused with relics that allows them to process the Fog safely. Since they have the best immunity to the Fog, Vanessa wants to turn as many humans as possible into Infused in order to preserve human civilization. Unfortunately, the Infusion process is unreliable and tends to destroy the subjects' minds, so Vanessa is unlikely to be able to make enough successful Infused to repopulate humanity after the Fog kills them all. |

In the "Legacy Virus" storyline of X-Men: The Animated Series, Cable comes back in time to ensure that Wolverine will be infected with the titular virus, because his healing factor will both render him immune and lead to the creation of certain antibodies that will protect mutants from later plagues. (Cable came back because Bishop's time-travelling experience prevented the virus making the jump to mutants on a large scale; infecting Wolverine is Cable's compromise so that both of their goals can succeed.) | |

Musuko ga Kawaikute Shikataganai Mazoku no Hahaoya: The main reason why humans were able to decisively end the war with demonkind was through the creation of a gas that prevents demons using their powers to "Demonify" and make themselves stronger. Part of The Reveal of the identity of baby Gospel's father is that his special ability as a demon is the creation of a poison that nullifies other demons' abilities, which was used as the basis for the anti-demonification gas and that Gospel, as a consequence, is potentially resistant or immune to the one thing that's maintained peace between the two races. When chapter 163 confirms that Gospel has potential immunity to the A.D. gas, it causes everyone to panic and work with their doctor to cover it up but, at best, it's only going to buy time before someone notices, at which point the characters fully fear that humanity and demonkind will start hunting for Gospel. The threat ends up coming from the latter direction, however, as Gospel's doctor, Veronica, is part of Crown's faction and assists in a kidnapping of Gospel when Lorem refuses her offer to join Crown's demon nation. | |

A big focus of The Andromeda Strain is finding out why two people are immune to the disease when everyone else died. What makes it interesting is that they are immune for similar, yet different reasons. The old man is an alcoholic, so his blood pH is acidic, and the baby is hyperventilating through crying, which makes his blood pH alkaline. It turns out that the Andromeda Strain can only survive within a narrow pH range. | |

Dead Rising: Due to zombie-fighting gameplay of the series, none of the playable protagonists (or even NPCs to a lesser extentnote they will only turn undead after being killed by zombies) ever get infected by zombie attacks in-game. In-story, this is explained as some people being more resistant to the zombie virus than others; such resistants include Frank West and Tyrone King. The apparent immunity of Chuck Greene, star of Dead Rising 2, while unexplained, is a natural step up from that. Dead Rising 3's hero, Nick, is immune to zombification because Carlito inoculated Nick with the cure instead of the zombie virus like the other orphans to ensure that his Zombie Apocalypse would not be unstoppable. | |

Jill Valentine is implied to be immune to the T-Virus after being cured of her infection in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. This is confirmed in Resident Evil 5 when it's noted that after she got kidnapped by Albert Wesker, she turned out to be useless as a testbed for T-Viral experiments due to her innoculation back in 3. However, in the same game, it also works against her, as the antibodies in her blood were used to improve the Ouroboros virus and this made Wesker decide to brainwash her into serving him as The Dragon rather than just experimenting on her. | |

BlazBlue actually downplays this trope. Seithr corruption is a perpetual threat in the world due to the omnipresence of ars magus, but seeing as how it is necessary to maintain the current state of the world, nobody sees a problem with it. That said, different individuals process seithr at different rates, so some folks show corruption effects sooner than others. Where this trope comes in is a bit of foreshadowing in Arcade mode, where precisely one character has their erosion rate measured, and is noteworthy of having it being extremely low: Makoto Nanaya, at 0.2%. | |

In Wandering Ones, this is the reason why Mavon's plague didn't completely sterilize the Earth's human population. | |

Emeline Shaw from The Division 2 is an asymptomatic of the Green Poison. Unlike most examples, she doesn't want to spread her immunity, but instead wants to spread the virus in her body, because she and her fellow immunes were wronged by the government during the outbreak. | |

The Green Flu in Left 4 Dead is airborne, and the survivors are the few people who happen to be immune to it. Some of the graffiti in Left 4 Dead 2 and radio chatter near the Bridge Finale suggest that the survivors are actually just asymptomatic carriers. A supplementary comic explicitly explains that the immunity is genetic, and confirms the carrier part. | |
