First, being able to kill a spacemarine or ten doesn't mean he could take out a ground army of them. Remember, Arthas may be extremely powerful in the sense of controlling the scourge by his will and be an extremely capable necromancer, but physically he is still just a man. That's the whole thing with high-magic WarCraft anything, unless it's some sort of spirit, physically killing it will probably take it out for good (Like when Grom's Warsong Orcs killed Cenarius, or Thrall and Grom killing Manoroth) and if the thing isn't killed, it might as well be dead or will be simply a much less powerful spirit, trapped in the mortal world. (Sargeras' demise at the Well of Eternity, the Archmagi of the Kirin-Tor that Arthas killed, etc.) I don't know how much WoW has changed things, but it can't be enough to invalidate evidence from an entire previous game.
Second, the undead do not "infect" things in the sense that the other combatants in this versus do, they resurrect or reanimate the corpses of the dead. And neither of those will work on a vehicle that's been damaged or destroyed. During a battle that might get them troops that use guns, but these troops won't last long unless they were reanimated by a very powerful caster (permanent reanimation of an intelligent being is a lot different than the stock death knight's ability to reanimate nearby corpses for a time.) Furthermore, even if they manage to get people that can do things like operate a tank or fly a jet, they have no industrial base to support these things, let alone the knowledge on how to use them properly.

Game mechanics aren't evidence.

She also probably could effect the Borg since they are basically cyborgs with otherwise normal mitochondria.
I don't know about the blacklight virus infected people, but here's something I do know: The Zerg and the Tyranids are completely alien lifeforms, they might have a mitochondria equivalent, or they might function in a completely different manner, the point is, we don't know, and given the evidence it's safe to assume they don't have mitochondria that is at all similar to Earth mitochondria. This also goes for Borg species that are aliens. Not to mention that Borg nanites would probably just destroy the mitochondria in all of them and act as substitutes for them once the Borg figured out what was going on.
gamer wrote:The Blacklight virus probably would not have really any effect on the Undead besides breaking them down after they are defeated for more biomass. Eve's infected may also be immune to its touch, Zerg and Tyranids could potentially become infected there hasn't been a single case where any living creature survived exposure to Blacklight at the very least even if it can't infect them once the Zerg or Tyranid lifeforms are dead the Blacklight virus would have some really interesting DNA to play with making it extremely powerful (just imagine if Greene learned what the Zerg or Tyranids know about genetics and biology). The Borg maybe immune since nanomachines > supervirus but I'm not sure how powerful their immune systems really are.
Why should we assume that a virus made on Earth by a civilization with little knowledge of alien life (if any) could even be compatible with the biology of the Zerg or the Tyranids? Both the Zerg and the 'Nids are very genetically diverse creatures that have been eating other life and using it to their purposes for thousands of years, and in the case of the Zerg they were outright engineered to do that. Furthermore, in order to gain the knowledge of the Swarm the virus would probably have to kill a Cerebrate, and maybe not even then could it get all, since the Zerg don't have any sort of genetic memory, and it is likely that only the Overmind knows everything about the Zerg, Kerrigan is probably the second most knowledgeable, along with the Xel'Naga. You'd only get the genetic information of the strain the Zerg being analyzed belonged to whether it was alive or dead.
And in terms of analyzing the enemy, there is nothing to stop the Zerg, Tyranids, and the Borg from analyzing the remains of Blacklight virus infected things or Eve's minions, and unlike those two they've been at it a whole lot longer.
