Prototype

Todays I'm goona tells about the synopsis of Prototype, an American comics based on video game which entitled same name. The story revolves around Alex Mercer who wakes up on a morgue slab in the basement of Gentek, a large and influential genetic engineering company based in Manhattan. He managed to escapes from the facility with no memories in his mind. His aims is to get back his memories, and soon he realized that he possesses powerful shapeshifting abilities that grant him superhuman strength, speed, agility, durability, weaponry and the ability to "consume" people to gain their memories, skills and appearance. During his quest, Alex faces two factions: the military, consisting of the United States Marine Corps and Blackwatch, a Fort Detrick special forces unit dedicated to combating biological warfare; and the Infected, monsters created by a strange virus that is overrunning Manhattan. Captain Robert Cross, a Blackwatch officer, is specifically given orders to find and contain Alex.

Alex makes contact with his sister, Dana Mercer, who assists him in tracking down targets who can shed light on his past, leading to the eventual infiltration of Gentek headquarters. Alex finds a woman called Elizabeth Greene contained on level 51 of the building. Greene is a host for the virus, and upon her escape unleashes it upon Manhattan. Dana directs Alex to Karen Parker, his ex-girlfriend.

Soon after Alex discovers his own past: Blackwatch shut down the Gentek project due to leaks and ordered all project personnel eliminated. Gentek employee Dr. Alex Mercer took a sample of the virus (Dx-1118 variant A, dubbed "BLACKLIGHT") as "insurance". Eventually pinned down by Blackwatch in Penn Station, he decides to take down as many as he can with him, shattering the tube and releasing the virus. He is killed on the spot, collapsing on the shattered vial. The virus consumed Alex's corpse, reanimating his body in the process, using his cells to preserve its existence and creating a new entity with inhuman and assimilation abilities. Upon waking in the morgue at the start, the virus clone, Zeus, believed itself to be Alex Mercer.

And later, in USS Ronald Reagan ship, Cross is revealed to have been earlier consumed by the regenerated Supreme Hunter and attacks Mercer. Mercer defeats the Supreme Hunter and moves the weapon out into the Atlantic Ocean, then the ships blown out.
However, he managed to float back to the city and regenerate after consuming a crow. Thereafter, he muses on what he has become: "Something less than human, but also something more."
