In this battle between two powerful antiheros, both capable of shape shifting their bodies...

WHO IS DEADLIEST?!! 

Alex Mercer
 Long Range : Whipfist

Alex’s deadliest long range ability; the whipfist shape shifts his arm into a long tentacle with a blade on the end, useful for striking out against long range targets, or grabbing them, and pulling them closer towards him. This is not Alex’s most damaging move, but it’s quite versatile in how he can use it. His best move with the whipfist is the devastating “street sweeper”, in which he launches the whipfist around him in a wide arc extending up to 40 feet, cutting through pretty much anything in its way.



 Mid-Range: Hammerfists, Blade

Alex’s first mid-range move is his hammerfists, massive amounts of biomass that Alex shifts to his arms. The hammer-like fists are a devastating anti-vehicle weapon, and produce small shockwaves, capable of knocking enemies back. The downside is that the fists are slow to hit, giving agile enemies plenty of time to dodge. Surprisingly they’re also Alex’s second least damaging attack, after his claws.



Easily Alex’s most deadly form, the blade turn his arm into five foot long instrument of death that can slice through even tank armor, and can a cut a regular human in half with one swing.



 Close Range : Claws, Musclemass

<span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The first power Alex gets, the claws gives Alex four three-foot long talons, which he can use to tear quickly through large groups of people, although they bounce off heavy armor. Once upgraded, the claws can perform the groundspike attack, which sends tendrils of biomass shooting through the ground, impaling anything it its way.

<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Musclemass shifts a large portion of biomass to Alex’s arms, giving him greater physical strength, allowing him to punch regular humans and infected into chunks, and gives him much greater physical strength and attack speed.

<p style="line-height:150%"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Special <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">: [| Devastators]

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Alex’s most powerful moves; there are three that he can use, the tendril barrage devastator, the groundspike graveyard devastator, and the critical pain devastator. Although all three can do some serious damage, they all drain Alex of a lot of biomass.

<p style="line-height: 150%;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Allies : The Infected

<p style="line-height: 150%;">At the end of the first Prototype, Alex gained control over the infected. In this battle he wil be able to summon any infected forces nearby to him. The infected he will have control of here are: [], [], [], [], [], [], and even a few []

<p style="line-height:150%"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Defense <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">: Shield and Armor forms, Regeneration

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Alex’s armor form forms a layer of hardened biomass all over his body, allowing him to take hits from some of the toughest enemies in the game with very little damage, at the cost of severely limiting his speed and agility.

<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The sheild form covers <span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Alex’s left arm in biomass, and unlike the armor, actually stops all damage to anything that hits it. He can also use it like a makeshift battering ram, plowing through whole hordes of enemies.

<p style="line-height: 150%;">

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Finally, Alex is a powerful regenerator. He is capable of surviving a nuclear explosion as long as he has enough biomass around to absorb. Being a living virus, Alex no longer has any possess any vital organs or weak bones, making him very difficult to injure permanently, even without his regeneration.

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> Jackie Estacado
<p style="line-height: 150%;"> Long Range : Darkness Guns

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jackie can construct any type of firearm he can imagine from the Darkness. Shotguns, assault rifles, grenade launchers, even sci-fi or fantasy guns if he wishes. These guns fire an ammo made of the Darkness, and do greater damage than ordinary guns. He is an expert marksmen with almost all firearms.

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">As a backup weapon, Jackie always carries two 9mm Beretta handguns, in case he should be attacked while in the light.

<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">  Mid-Range  - Shape Shifting

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jackie can use the darkness to transform his body into any shape he wishes, whether it’s growing wings to fly through the air, or turning his body into a massive demon like creature, he is only limited by his imagination.

<p style="line-height:150%"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Close-Range <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">: Darkness Constructs

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Like his Darkness guns, Jackie can construct any close range weapon from the darkness, including blades, knives, and even chainsaws. His most common close range constructs, are tentacles, which sprout from his body, and can be used to crush and grab enemies.

<p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">

<p style="line-height:150%"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Special <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">: Shadow Manipulation

<span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jackie’s most powerful move is his shadow manipulation. He is able to manipulate the shows in someone's body in a rarely seen move that tears them apart internally, even if the guy in question is in the light. He can also teleport through shadows and walk through solid matter.

Allies : Darklings

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Darklings are necroplasmic sentient manifestations of The Darkness that Jackie can apparently summon an unlimited number of. Jackie communicates and commands with them telepathically. They most often take the forms of imp-like creatures, but they have superhuman strength, agility, and a powerful healing factor. Jackie can summon more powerful darklings with concentration, including hulking gargoyle like creatures, and even a giant dragon!

<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The Darkness’s necroplasmic armor is powerful enough to tank shots, high caliber rounds, suicide bombing, and blows from superhumans. It rarely fails him, and is costs him little to no energy to maintain. Jackie is also capable of impressive regeneration, able to regenerate from many wounds in seconds.
