X-Antibody

The X-Antibody (Ｘ抗体), stylized in some materials as X Antibody or X Anti-body, is a plot element from Digital Monster X-Evolution, Digimon Chronicle, Digimon Chronicle X, Digimon D-Cyber, and the related virtual pets and card games. It is a vaccine that makes Digimon immune to the, and most Digimon that are introduced to it also become more powerful than their normal counterparts; they are differentiated from their original forms by the suffix "X" or "X-Antibody". There are also many species of Digimon who are natural carriers of the X-Antibody, and do not have a separate "original form".

Digimon Pendulum X / Digital Monster X / Digimon Chronicle
When the Digital World became so overpopulated, the super computer that governs the Digital World, King Drasil, wasn't able to handle it anymore. His solution was to wipe out the vast majority of the Digimon with the X-Program, and choose a very small percentage to be moved to a new Digital World, and destroy the old one. Those who were not chosen but still survived and moved to the new world had a rare gift known as the X-Antibody. This antibody, when activated, changed their appearance and strength. The X-Antibody Indicator (Ｘ抗体インジケーター), also referred to as the XAI System (ＸＡＩシステム) is a system which displays the status of the X-Antibodies. If the XAI system is activated, via the Pendulum X, and it detects the X-Antibody present, it will begin to alter the Digimon itself, resulting in an X-Antibody Digimon.

The X Digimon fled to the NEW Digital World, and King Drasil sent the Royal Knights to eliminate them.

The X-Program was unable to affect the Dark Area due to it being on a separate layer to the Digital World.

Digital Monster X-Evolution
The X-Program (Ｘプログラム) is a termination program initiated by King Drasil to eliminate 98% of Digimon as a result of the of Digimon causing the Digital World to reach maximum capacity. When the X-Program was executed by King Drasil, 98% of the total Digimon population was eliminated. The remaining 2% were transferred to the NEW Digital World where the X-Program could not reach them. However, a minority number of Digimon strong enough to resist the effects of the X-Program were able to survive by changing their DigiCores. The Digimon were reborn in a form that could take in the X-Program and eventually it came to a point where a program that opposed the X-Program was installed into the DigiCore—the X-Antibody.

Digimon D-Cyber
All extant Digimon are X Digimon.

Digimon World Re:Digitize
The X-Program is an item that digivolves WarGreymon to WarGreymon X.

Digimon ReArise
X-Antibody variants of Digimon (ex. WarGreymon X but not Alphamon) are able to ignore the "X-Barrier" that XSpiral have access to in addition to taking 25% less damage from the XSpiral's "X-Charge" attack.
