So This is my first topic and i thought: "i know a way that makes everyone hate me". so here it is:
The scenario is:
The blacklight project actually happend in DC Universe (say new 52). Alex got his powers without causing the NYC outbreak. He succesfully could make the Goverment believe he just died in an accident and so he killed unobtrusively Blackwatch scientist and soldiers to make 100% sure no one knows he lives. Doing that he learned alot more about the JLA. Here Blacklight actually was primarily founded to create a weapon against meta humans and secondarily to attack people of a special ethnic group. Now after having insight in the goverments information on metahumans he knows: Basic powers and weaknesses of all superheroes and villians (that do have a power), but also the basic stuff every american citizen knows (who the joker is (talking about him as a villian not his actual origin(batman woul be pissed if everyone knows exept him)) for example) and not to forget what the Goverment know about magic (probably not much). Also I want to get rid of him gameplay restrictions. He can either get physicly stronger by compressing his tissue through consuming or growing in size (or both). Meaning that if he absorbed enough he lift more than a tank but a building/skyscraper/planet/Solarsystem sized chickenwing (i don´t suspect him to find enought biomass to do that). Also his naturally genius intellect can be enhanced by: gathering informations through consuming AND decreasing the size needed in his brain mass for synapse to emergy and chemical reaction to happen (meaning he thinks faster and better (no shit sherlock i thought you wanted to say he makes himself more stupid on purpose)). He need atleast get a crack into someone before consuming him (unlike in the Prototype comic book where a touch was enough) so if it isn't wounded and he cant penetrate it he won´t consume it. He can shapeshift into anything he consumes Person,Animal,Cell and increase these forms. Also screw his waterweakness (he can be a motherfucking fish if he wants to). His psychological state is instable he thinks that what he is doing deserves humanity but is also conflicted about it and not entirely sure if that is true. He has many sociopathic traits but isn't actual one he just adapted them (pre infection)
Now time to get him compared to other metas. Base (the amount of biomass he usually had in the game)Alex Mercer get his ass whooped by superman ,Flash or martian Manhunter for example (probably even with 10 or 100 times biomass than usual). He mostly lackes speed compared to many superheroes but also strength compared to some. He is (because of his always changing brain ) not affected by Martian manhunters tele-everything. He also still has a sister that he cares for (maybe even love). He most likely could defeat batman (exept BECAUSE HE IS THE GODDAMN BATMAN works here aswell (Bats has been in worse situations and made it out))
Summary:
Wants to has zee powers, Noe stupido Gameplay restriction, Wouldn´t withstand a direct fight against JLA without consuming some/many meta dudes before, Likes chicken wings.
AND MOST IMPORTANT
Option A: The JLA has no clue about him but they would ofcourse notice if some members disappear or may behave different.
Optian B: They noticed that there is a weapon project that was planned against them and that a powerfull shapeshifter exist (linked to the programm) that is going after their asses and they give that thing a top priority and already started investigating on that (mercer in that time has consumed an average joe and hides as him somewhere).
So how would mercer do it and would he succeed?
P.S: He doesn´t need to unlock powers to shapeshift his body into weapons he just gets the form he wants.
P.P.S: mention if i wrote something wrong i want to improve my english just don't make it the main part of your post.
