    While playing Prototype, the truth is revealed that the player character isn't really Alex Mercer at all, but it's the virus who begins to have a conscience. It turns out the real Alex works for Gentek, and has no empathy. When Blackwatch is after him, he took a sample of the virus he created, and gets cornered at Penn Station. He unleashes the virus before he dies by Blackwatch. The virus then take over his corpse and becomes him.

    So which Alex Mercer you'll cheer for?
     
    For me, although I like the Blacklight Virus posing as Alex, I really like the human Alex, who is a complete monster of not only turning an already deadly virus into 10x deadlier, and unleashing it to New York City out of spite.

    In the game the virus takes on Alex's Codename "ZEUS" if anyone knows that :P
