"One virus, three weeks, millions dead… and I was there. My name was Alex Mercer, and my work is almost done."

Alex Mercer has appeared in CAHniverse! with his two sons, Gideon and Edmund Mercer. He is played by Rick, and is the resident asshole that's a literal walking talking virus. Alex can be a bit of a troll, but means well. He's also the current resident scientist. Somewhat rooms in Jebri House.

Canon (and story changes)

  • Alex Mercer is the only known male Runner of both the Redlight and Blacklight Viruses, as far as Blackwatch is aware. Subject PARIAH is still classified.
  • Once grew up in an abusive and broken home in his previous life, and was the only one to look after and care for his younger sister, Dana Mercer.
  • A scientist that worked on the Blacklight virus, and may still be considered a scientist now.
  • The story of Prototype 2 is considerably different than originally.
  • Alex did not go insane and started destroying the city, but he did expel out a cancer one time during his vacation.
  • Said cancer developed into another copy of Alex, which went by ZEUS, and travelled back to New York to begin infection and destruction.
  • Alex is not aware of it, as he assumed he made sure the cancer had no chance to regenerate.
  • Had a kid, asexually, during his vacation as part of an experiment of his abilities and named the kid "Gideon".
  • Eventually returned to New York, now dubbed New York Zero, after eighteen months in vacation to a city in chaos.
  • Creates the Evolved to infiltrate Blackwatch and Gentek for answers and to develop a cure. He doesn't like the answer.
  • Found Dana under the radar, had her look after Gideon while he started investigating.
  • Adopted a kid who lost his family and suffered amnesia, turned into an Evolved and was named Edmund.
  • Took Residence in the Dead Zone, which was an area that was first glassed by Blackwatch before they were disallowed use of Government nukes.
  • Has Dana looking out for his kids and keeping tabs on Blackwatch for him while she remained safe in the Dead Zone.
  • Alex eventually discovered the source of who caused the new outbreak, finding that it was the very cancer he rejected and thought destroyed.
  • Decides he will need help to destroy the cancer that goes by ZEUS, and proceeds to track down a potential runner that would assist. Needed a specific kind of DNA for it to work.
  • Comes across James Heller by chance, turned him into a Runner and asked for his help. They didn't start off very well, but Alex assured that he is not to blame for Heller's loss.
  • Now Alex had to work on gaining Heller's trust as they teamed up to save the city. Heller is currently unaware of ZEUS's identity and Alex is trying to keep it that way for now.
  • Alex had managed to save the city again with Heller's help, to which he'll end up in the Jebri House later.
