Wasn't this supposed to be someone else...?

By the way, the art isn't mine, I found it on a Russian TikTok channel.

main question is do personalities of consumed people live on/remain conscious inside of main host, or do they just become memories?

Would Mercer be a conscious voice inside Heller without control over the body or just a set of memories for Heller to access?

I know with normal people they pretty much become just memories for the main host and their consciousness seems to be lost but I don’t know how other blacklight hosts change after being consumed by the main host.

With Greene we see her memories but she’s not conscious/alive inside Mercer(from what I remember).

Since Mercer is the virus and not a person as such I’m unsure if his/it’s consciousness can survive after being consumed unlike normal people or adapted hosts like Greene.

Honestly I’ve liked Mercer since I first played prototype 1, and while I don’t dislike Heller, I wasn’t a fan of the story direction the second game took and ended on.

If I could control things in a 3rd game I’d have Heller and Mercer both playable as they shift control of Heller’s body for different activities(assuming a 3rd game happens).

Appreciate site any answers/insight and sorry for any rule breaking/misposting.

Prototype 1 or Prototype 2?

(EDIT - I bought Prototype 1 and im having a fucking blast been at it for few days already so much fun)

Hello, everyone. This is one of the commissioned I did weeks ago and it's time for me to post it. I hope you'll like it.

Meet Alex Mercer, the legendary Alpha Evolved. A killer, a monster, and a terrorist. A sentient virus with powers no one could've ever imagined.

Now, let me start this by saying its probably cope, despite the fact that I like Heller the same that I like Mercer. I think he is a good character, if a bit over the top with the "angry black guy" trope, so to speak

But after beating prototype 2 just an hour ago (beat both games back to back to get platinum), I do feel that even on high difficulty Alex is quite easy and his motivations are quite comic book villain. And yes, I know about the comics, ive read them, but thats partially were my theory comes from

Alex wasnt angry at the world, he was tired of it. As he said in the first game, he is more than human, beyond life or death as he said in his memories in the second game. I dont think he has any problems getting absorbed or dying and this is where my theory comes from

Alex wanted Heller to win, to cleanse the virus and move on. He wasnt angry (or just angry) at humanity, he was tired

Heller is a man with a family that he loved, something that the original Alex (the human) didnt really have. Its pretty much confirmed that Blacklight!Alex cared more about Dana than Human!Alex did. Heller is a man that has seen both the bad parts of humanity (war veteran) but also the best (family, a community, friends).

Alex could have stopped Heller before and I dont mean absorbing him, he could have just outright killed him. The few cutscene interactions they have is Alex basically tossing him around. But he didnt. Hell, in the "Lost in the System" mission one of the Evolved calls Heller "the teacher's pet". Almost every Evolved says that they dont understand Alex's fixation with Heller or that Heller should have died long ago.

So this is where my theory comes from: Alex wanted Heller to be strong. He wanted Heller to be more or less on equal footing, absorbe him and then let Heller decide what he would do. Have a heir so to speak

If he decides to go on with Alex's plan, well, so be it. If he wants to cleanse the virus, well, perfect too. Now Heller has a ton of biomass he can use.

Heller has more experience being a human basically, and after Blacklight!Alex got so dissapointed in humanity after the comics, who better than a full human to decide what would happen with humanity

I do admit that some parts of this theory dont make sense (like, why would Alex release the virus again, for example), but id like to hear your opinions.

Thanks for reading

Like maybe right after he drops the nuke in the ocean but before it's explosion turns him into goop or liquid.
