That’s the base virus before it has ever seen a host. Upon Mercer being transformed by the virus and waking up for the first time, we discovered his baseline abilities.
He is able to tank a missile, destroy a helicopter with a car, lift a helicopter and lift a tank. In addition to this, he’s stated to have burst through a two-foot steel door. Speed-wise, regular Evolved are able to lead James Heller in a foot race with maxed stats. So what am I getting at?
If you skip to 1:48, Mercer says when he closes his eyes he sees the memories of a thousand men screaming as he takes their lives. Memories being the operative word here, meaning he consumed 1000 men. Logically this means that if those thousand men were just regular humans as average Mercer was, then Mercer should have a 1000-fold multiplier from the end of the first game onward, since that is when it was confirmed.
The second multiplier is musclemass. The power is stated to be a 2x increase in power, and with a charged attack it reduces people to paste. However with musclemass boost, even a glancing blow is enough to reduce them to paste. The exact multiplier of this form isn’t stated, but it is stated to greatly increase the power over the baseline form. Another CRT thread suggests a 4x increase over baseline, but opinions are needed.
