I say, she doesn't have the POX because She would be too powerful and evil with it. She'd kill a bunch of pirates and end with forcing herself onto Guybrush. Not That I would mind that happening, it just wouldnt go good with the story or the series.

Yeah I'm not sure rape would be a very funny story element.
On second thought....
Maybe the secret of MI is that MI and the surrounding islands are testing grounds for Umbrella Corporation and the Pox is nothing else than a strain of the T-Virus.
A group of scientist led by Dr. Charles L. were working on the virus and became infected. The virus spread fast and eventually he mutated into an entity known as "LeChuck"
Morgan LeFlay was a security officer working for Umbrella....
Wait...wrong game series.
One idea I've had is maybe Morgan's already dead. LeChuck pulled it in MI4 why couldn't she? Maybe she died trying to capture a pirate and now is an undead spirit that keeps trying to do that. I know it's a stretch, but it would explain it. Either that, or the pox affects pirates only, as said. And if that's not the case "Why hasn't LeChuck caught pox, either?" I know he started it, but if he's all better now, shouldn't that mean he gets as much chance to be infected as everyone else? Or did he build up antibodies to the pox? Something doesn't add up with that. I still think LeChuck isn't showing all his cards.
Maybe that weird Doctor dude wants Guybrush's hand so much because it is needed to research cure and he fears pox so much that it makes him desperate to get that hand.
Also when character in-game says something it is no fact even thought over 95% RPG games characters telling information always speak truth.
Also as this is game, everything is not logical. There is no real science behind how almost anything functions.
I'd say it's because Morgan hasn't had as prolonged and intensive exposure to the Pox. It probably also has something to do with morale. Most of the pirates on Flotsam got it almost immediately because their morale was low and the entirety of pox was sucked into Flotsam because of the winds. Elaine was at the site where the pox was created -- that's heavy exposure. Elaine and Winslow also have good morale, however, so they are able to fight it off more effectively than most pirates. Morgan never had prolonged or excessive exposure to the pox, and also has high morale. I'd say it makes sense that she hasn't shown signs of it yet.
Maybe the pox only breaks out in people whose testosterone is high or rising rapidly; which explains why Elaine's outbreaks seem more severe/frequent than Guybrush's >_>;;
The merfolks are a different species. We still haven't seen infected animals, for instance. The morale-thing's not a bad idea, but I personally think, there's no obvious reason, she probably got lucky, not to be exposed to infected people as much as the others. Guybrush probably does not turn green, because he is the host of the desease and is not really infected himself.
By the way, a virus, that is spread through air can't get more contagious than that, still it's a magical virus, so what do I know.
Stan doesn't look too green either.
I just had a really bizzare idea. What if Morgan was a vacaylian?! That would explain her a) not having the pox and b) being able to just swim to flotsam island from the screaming narwhal .

She does appear to have the coloring... but not the features. Unless those eyes are due to Vacaylian eye-liner abuse.
Morgan hasn't got the pox because of pedantic hair-splitting. She's a privateer not a pirate. Since Guybrush acts independently of Elaine and Voodoo Lady he's a pirate just..(But not allowed to be so by word of pirate, so he can do what pirates are not supposed to do, and kill Le-Chuck.)

Just so you know, I came THIS CLOSE to actually using the word "pedantic" in ep4 when Guybrush comments on the hair-splitting, but I decided that "pedantic" is one of the many words that Guybrush doesn't know the meaning of.

I shudder to think of the kind of dialog you would write if Telltale ever came up with a character who was a philologist. And by "shudder", I of course mean, "vibrating with glee!"

And I posted this before the revelation. Guybrush U. Threepwood usually acts as a privateer (which was why he was highly resistant). His independent actions make him a pirate (which was why he was only highly resistant)
It's been revealed why in ep 4. It's because she's not a pirate.
Wow, I had to get to the last post in the thread before I found someone else who actually asked the non-poxed characters why they didn't have it. Morgan is a pirate hunter, not a pirate (Guybrush: "You have to love a pox that respects slight differences in semantics."), the Marquis isn't a pirate, and apparently D'Oro isn't really a pirate at heart either.

I'm pretty sure the wording is "slight semantical differences", not "slight differences in semantics."

...also, I just realized the irony in my post.
I had just exhausted my memory recalling an enormous list of Guybrush's crimes (that vanished when I went to post it), plus it was one line in a very long chapter. It's surprising I managed to remember the line, much less the exact wording.

We were both wrong, it was "Gotta like a Pox that respects minor semantical distinctions." Yours was closer, though. And the irony is still killing me, two weeks later.

Considering most of these posts were written before Chapter 4 came out, that's not surprising...

Oh, be nice, I was new. Every one of my almost 300 posts has been in the last two weeks, after chapter 4 came out. As it is, reading posts from before chapter 4 still gives me the same unsettled feeling as jumping into the middle of a conversation.
Because she was draw too sexy to be poxed, notice the difference between her and everyone else...it's not a huge difference, you may say even less can be see over all but not in all areas...but it's definitely there.

Then why hasn't De Singe shown signs of it when he's a mad scientist?
*crickets chirping*
Thank you! I'll be here all week!
Let me guess, you've got a turtle that leaves an impression on stone altars, right?
BRING ON THE NEXT ACT!

Lena_P is dragged off the stage by a wooden hook.
Vigorous Clapping from one person in the audience, who then stops realizing the awkward moment .
Retired pirate.
Everything in life is pointless.
But the mermaids were immune, and only affecting pirates makes sense I suppose.
Morgan doesn't get the pox because...
it creates a foil for zombie Eline!
Groundbreaking, no?
Men produce more testosterone than women. Or are you trying to say Guybrush isn't as manly as Elaine?
and LeChuck is hiding something.
