What is prototype about
==The guy's name is Alex Mercer, whether it was a failed experiment fails to be seen, the introduction movie reveals first him inside a laboratory wherein men in hasmat suits are about to disect him when he suddenly comes alive. He runs out of the building and the logo "GENTEK" appears on the building as Alex escapes. He is then attacked by patrolling "Blackwatch" soldiers; secret government soldiers who maintain government secrets, mostly on biological weapons. Alex eludes capture and upon killing a blackwatch soldier, his own body immediately begins to consume the body. Tendrils come out of him and began dismantling corpse and he soons takes on the form of that soldier. A blackwatch commander soon approaches him and he too *absorbs him. He then suddenly realizes that he knows what that commander knew. Which is where he begins to discover his past and unlock the secrets of the Hive through the web of intrigue targets in that city to stop the infection and kill whoever is responsible for all of this. His powers include his arms tranforming into claws, then into huge gauntlet-like fists, then into a whip-like claw that can grapple and cut, and also into a long blade that can cut even the toughest armor. He can also reduce damage intake through a shield or cover his body in a carapace that heavily reduces incoming damage. He can absorb both infected and civilians for health though the latter seems inhuman to consider for. Alex has increased speed that allows him to jump higher and cause a shockwave upon landing and he can glide while in the air. He has 2 visions, infected vision allows for him to see all infected on-screen even those who don't look infected but are within. He also has thermal vision that reveals everthing that has heat. Both are used when smoke and explosions cause too much disturbance during battles.=
