The pen or the sword said:
True enough, though that would only really be applicable in his 7-C key. Hmm don't think it really effects any of his battles though. Still good to keep in mind!
I didn't mean to pressure you was just curios as your usually right on those debates. Sorry if that came across as rude!
No problem. While you came across as quite curious to me, you didn't have me the impression of being rude, so no issues for that.
I just woke up when I did that reply about the range with the Penn Station by the way, so I'll be brushing my teeth for a couple of minutes.
Also, you can read this in your spare time if you want to:

The brief summary is that it's a FoZ/Prototype crossover with Mercer being summoned by Henrietta due to being in the ocean as a bunch of biomass during the nuclear detonation apparently.
This story had some interesting exploration on the politics and inner workings of the FoZ-verse. Magic (at least the wand-based ones that the humans use) is also apparently genetic in FoZ, so Mercer can replicate that via taking their genetics, knowledge, and skill with magic as well.
That's just a recommendation I make as I felt that it might be able to help you understand the FoZ setting better for your future stories with the FoZ setting. Not sure if Mercer fits your personality description that you made, but I heard that Mercer in that story is pretty in-character as of the Prototype 1 only version, so that's probably maybe.
However, be warned that Mercer has biomass-dependent Regenerationn (and has Low-High Regenerationn in that story), his Regenerationn is incredible slow without consuming/absorption as if this was Mercer with gameplay mechanics limitations, has kind of the same restrictions as a conventional virus (as in, he can only infect living beings rather than inanimate objects and such that he should be able to do), has his capabilities being mainly restricted by gameplay mechanics, and has absorption that requires him to kill his targets first (rather than just touching them) in that story. I've even recalled that the author of that fanfic themselves believed that Mercer could be harmed by gullets for some reason (even though a variety of Mercer's durability feats says otherwise), based on the couple versus debates that they did with Mercer from what I can recall, so expect this portrayal of Mercer to be quite underpowered than what the accepted portrayal is in this site.
In fact, those aforementioned logic are basically what Spacebattles debates with Alex Mercer are going with (including the downplay where Mercer gets annihilated by only the shockwave of the nuclear explosion, rather than the fact that he actually got incinerated by the nuclear fireball). Just to let you know.
Who knows, maybe the exploration could also help you with the Sasuga Ainz-sama story later.
P).
