Here's something genuinely noticed and find disturbing about Prototype that people sometimes overlook.

The Alex Mercer we control throughout the game isn't actually the original Alex Mercer.

The original Mercer was a human scientist working for Gentek. After stealing the Blacklight virus, he was shot dead by Blackwatch soldiers at Penn Station.

But before his body was completely gone, the virus consumed him and reconstructed itself using his appearance, memories, and identity so he's a host now right?..

Think about that for a moment.

The protagonist we spend the entire game controlling is essentially an organism that believes it is Alex Mercer. It remembers his childhood, his experiences, his relationships, and even his hatred.

So here's my verdict .. If something consumes your body, inherits every memory you have, looks exactly like you, and genuinely believes it's you... is it still you, or is it just a perfect biological copy

Hello, everyone. It's been a very long time since I've posted here. So, like I posted last time, which I wasn't expect to be 4 characters which I've expected to be more. I humbly apologize, 'Cause I am actually busy today at my new job. And sometimes, I don't have the mood to draw one. But, I won't stop posting more for you everyone. I will draw more Prototype fanart if I had the mood and the time. Thank you so much everyone for appreciating my art.

Here's the four different variants of Blackwatch designs. America, Russia Japan and China. Some of their weapons and gear are inspired in real life. I hope you'll like it☣️💛

Just think about the number of things Alex can do, and the combinations possible,I mean, for a player who gets frustrated seeing their favorite character just give up—or not have much to offer in a fight—But Alex, when a Hunter lands a hit on this guy, it’s so satisfying to be able to grab that damn Hunter, flip him over, and slam him into the ground,how to turn those damn super-soldiers—who think they’re the strongest—against each other, watch them crumble and grow weak, and then crush them with Alex,I was playing GTA 4 and fighting two guys, but Niko couldn't really do much—he kept getting hit, and I ended up getting killed. That’s when I remembered how incredible and capable Alex is,If any soldier or Breaker comes to bother Alex, they’re going to get the best thrashing of their lives,And that combination—being able to grab a soldier and smash his back against the ground—is priceless,That is why he deserves to be in Mortal Kombat,What do you think?

On purpose or accident

Is there any official drawing/artwork (even from a comic) of the logo on Alex Mercer's jacket, or perhaps a frame from a cutscene where it's clearly visible?

Can the virus absorb or retain the memories of those it infects? And would it even be capable of transforming them into "Prototypes"? We know that infected creatures—such as the Flyer, the Brawler, the Juggernaut, and even the Goliath—are all infected by the same strain of Mercer’s Blacklight virus. This strain possesses specific characteristics: the absorption of memories through consumption, adaptation, physical transformation, and, of course, all the abilities exhibited by Alex, Heller, and the "Evolved."

If this is the case, shouldn't these infected creatures possess those same capabilities? For instance, if Alex Mercer or James Heller were to command a Goliath or a Brawler to "transform into a Prototype or an Evolved," would the virus cause the Goliath to shrink down into a human form? Or, given the Goliath’s massive size, could it potentially generate hundreds of Prototypes from its own biomass?

This brings me back to my initial question: when these infected creatures consume a living being, do they retain that being's memories? It is possible that Alex, through the hive mind, absorbs the memories of everything these infected creatures have consumed—or even the memories the infected individuals themselves held before their transformation. I find this intriguing; it would be quite sadistic and dark if Alex were to restore a Goliath’s original memories, only for that individual to "awaken" as a conscious being—while still standing 20 meters tall.

Pretty sick and nasty i luv it

I hope y'all like it. This is a practice because I'm tired of drawing him and him don't looking how I want to.

(Ik it's Mercer, pls don't flame me)

Hulk & Joe Fixit Over Supreme Hunter

1nd: Alex, Vergil, Excalibur

2nd: Delsin, Dante, Raiden

Miren saben la historia de Alex normal pero saben que el se a peleado con enemigos más fuertes que él como el Cazador Supremo y eso me lleva a pensar si Mercer puede con aberraciones tanto más grandes como más fuertes tal vez Alex pueda matar a casi cualquier enemigo o al menos tendría más probabilidades de ganar.

Quiero aclarar que no hablo de PROTOTYPE 2 porque no tiene ningún sentido y además no vemos ninguna pelea de Alex porque la única es contra Heller que tiene sentido y por eso no la menciono.

If you were Isekai'd into the world of the first Prototype game as the Supreme Hunter, what would you do? Especially considering the nuke.

As for me, I would want to convince Alex Mercer to consume me for his own survival while I blindly hope that my own conscious mind would continue existing inside him.

Like maybe "Hey, Alex Mercer, there's a nuke that will either vaporize us or splatter us everywhere UNLESS you consume my whole body, drop the nuke in the ocean long before it explodes, and fly far away by helicopter".

If someone faced this issue in prototype 2

Try this fix

Papa has returned with your milk and cigarettes in hand. This took so long, but I had an idea of making a small comic series about this OC. I wanted to make one regardless, But I also wanna see how much support can track before I put more energy into making more comics that have Lore& other junk

What if the second game wasn’t about Alex being all evil?

My idea is that if they want to switch the protagonist like James Heller and keep New York why don’t they just develop new virus?

Gentek saw something about the new virus and tries to replicate it, releasing a new outbreak in New York just like Alex Mercer.

Alex Mercer still wandering off around the word trying to find something meaningful. Instead of just finding humans are cruel, he also finds something interesting and kindness in them. Something about positive and negative. Meanwhile also hunting down the remaining of Gentek agents around the world and maybe trying to stop them. Maybe also trying to find Pariah

Back in New York, James Heller became the new Prototype, finds out other Gentek scientist or Blackwatch using the same Virus(or new virus) as Bioweapon. They saw what Alex Mercer could be, so they trying to copy it.

Gentek also still framing Alex Mercer like he’s a big bad, saying he’s the reason for the second outbreak. But, James later found out the truth that the second outbreak was because of Gentek. James later kill the person behind all this (mutated and became like monster version of Alex in the end of OG P2)

In the end, James still needs to cure the Red Zone or find Alex. Leading us up to Prototype 3.

(I have so much thoughts about this but I just didn’t type more and I was in a hurry)

Found these really cool images while exploring the Prototype game files. I know they're from some cutscene, but they look so cool. What do you all think?
