I never played the first Prototype, but in the second James Heller (whose power were basically the same as Mercer’s, with a few differences) was able to gain new powers by absorbing some of the boss infected (blade form, the ability to summon a pack of brawler’s) so it’s possible that he may be able to get some of Wolverine’s powers be absorbing him.

But I’m not buying the argument that he could get them by absorbing just a small piece of him, whenever Heller consumed someone, he had to do it all at once, or it didn’t work. That and he had to do it when the target was near death, and considering Wolverine’s healing factor and indestructible skeleton, its going to be nearly impossible for him to hurt Wolverine that much.

This fight is probably going to turn out like when Mercer tried to consume Heller for the first time, he starts consuming, Wolverine looks like he’s in trouble and then… nothing actually   happens and Wolverine decapitates the surprised Mercer. Anyway I’ll try to get a full vote up on Wednesday.
