During one of Alex and Dana's meetings, Dana was kidnapped by a Leader Hunter, a larger and stronger version of the normal hunters. Alex pursued this Leader Hunter across the city, but was ultimately unable to rescue Dana. With the help of Dr. Ragland, Alex located and consumed the same Leader Hunter that kidnapped Dana, learning of her location in the core hive in the center of the city. Alex was eventually able to penetrate the hive, where he confronted Elizabeth Greene. Alex begging for help with Dana Hunting: A mysterious yet potent viral sonar sense, this sixth sense allows him to find a target in a crowded populated area. As a reward for completing all 5 weeks of Radnet content, players will receive an Alex Mercer skin for James Heller that allows them to look like Mercer while playing Prototype 2, although all of Heller's monochrome cutscenes and voice lines remain unaffected as the skin is purely cosmetic. However, during in-game cutscenes when Heller's 3D model would normally be displayed, Mercer will perform his animations instead if players have this skin equipped. While this skin is equipped, amusingly, Mercer's model will not move its mouth while Heller's voice lines are playing, but its chin can be seen rapidly vibrating. The mouth does move for some of the animations and when his model speaks or puts on expressions in cutscenes, however. Dr. Alexander J.

After escaping, he found himself trapped in Manhattan, being pursued by the military. He soon discovered that he had the ability to consume others and take on their appearance and memories, along with their special skills. Enhanced Senses - Alex's hearing, sight, and smell have all also dramatically increased due to his new viral nature. He can see well past the visible light spectrum, allowing him to see into the infra-red, and is able to detect even minute traces of the virus in other bodies as well. He can hear across incredible distances and has developed a way to tap into the hive mind of the virus and control it. Initially being an anti-heroic protagonist who gained his powers from an experimental bioweapon after he died as a human, after he lost his faith in humanity, he then wants to spread the infection beyond New York Zero and become the main antagonist of the second game and the arch-enemy of the protagonist, James Heller, who seeks to kill Mercer for being the cause of his infection and the death of his wife and daughter.Superhuman Strength: Due to his inhuman strength, Heller is capable of lifting vehicles, dismantling weapons from armored vehicles, overpowering virally-enhanced Marines and dismembering infected creatures. James Heller was a Sergeant in the Marines Corps before his infection. He lived in Manhattan, New York with his wife Collette [2] and daughter Amaya. [3] After the end of his military tour, Heller wanted to return home and live with his family while maintaining a small business in the city. However, there was a devastating viral outbreak in the city while he was serving abroad. Mercer can form his biomass into a variety of weapons, mostly slicing or crushing tools. In combat, he either uses biomass to create various blades and clubs. [3] Defensive Powers Main article: Defensive Powers The original Alex was a cold monster with no empathy who ultimately unleashed the virus out of pure spite. His actions and demeanor are likely due to his troubled past, which made him a cold individual, both paranoid and sociopathic. On top of that, he seemingly doesn't care about his younger sister, Dana, and is seemingly only using her as a pawn in his plans as well. He rarely takes human cost into account during his actions, being able to murder scores of humans without remorse or hesitation. Once a human, Alex works for a company known as Gentek. He has no empathy, as evidenced when he is questioned of how does he feel of creating a deadly virus to be 10x deadlier, he replies that he "wasn't paid to feel".

My name is Dana Mercer. I'm Alex Mercer's sister. And I have information about your daughter." ―Dana upon speaking to Heller for the first time. [src] Hammerfists - Primarily a anti-vehicular power, this mutation causes an immense amount of biomass to flood into Alex's hands, causing them to greatly enlarge and increase in weight. With these Alex can cause what look to be small earthquakes and is able to easily smash through the hardest of armor.But in truth, however, Alex is not completely heartless as he seemed; actually, he deeply trusts and cares for his younger sister Dana, having been the only real paternal figure for her, and had what can be assumed to be a loving relationship with Karen Parker. I looked for the truth. Found it. Didn't like it. Wish to hell I could forget it. Alex Mercer... This city suffered for his mistakes, for what he did at Penn Station. And whoever he was -- that's a part of me. When I close my eyes, I see the memories of a thousand dead men, screaming as I take their lives. Moments I'll relive forever. What have I become? Something less than human. But also something more. Memory Assimilation: Upon consuming an individual, Mercer gains access to all the memories and skills that that individual may have had, allowing Mercer to suddenly master various new skills such as weaponry, vehicle usage, and even military tactics and plans.
