So, lets addresss some concerns.==Virus stuff==
I do not believe it's NLF to say that a being with such an alien biology isn't going to get infected by a bio weapon designed to infect humans. Viruses don't just infect everything, they have specific organisms they can do that to. There's a reason for the H in HIV and HPV, because that is the type that can actually infect humans. So I'd say that Alex would actually need feats in the other direction.
Type 6
Not sure how I should consider this when there's absolutely no justification or explanation on the file. It also kinda doesn't stop him from going insane. Also id'd have been pretty helpful for him to use it during the Heller fight.
Mindhax
Firstly, any scans of Greene using mindhax on those she hasn't infected? From what I can tell, being infected seems to be a prerequisite to this. Second, he doesn't need to force his way into the mind or take it over or anything in the first place. All that is needed is for him to show a vision, which Greene was able to successfully do. The type 4 is still more important, as even the type 3 works off of this.
Undead army
Aren't they all like tier 9-8? Ancestor raises his hand and kills them.
The Blacklight Virus is by no means an ordinary virus. You're trying to apply the logic of real life viruses into a fictional virus, which simply doesn't work as Mercer's existence defies all that (as we know in real life, viruses can't gain sentience as they are just a bunch of RNA. But Mercer himself
has gained sentience, which proves that Blacklight is by no means a conventional virus). As for feats, Redlight has outright shown feats of infecting organisms, both humans and animals alike (there's even on-screen proof of such, which is in the Prototype comics). And Blacklight is proven to be superior to Redlight, and is stated to be more deadly and infective than even Redlight itself. There are several evidences of both Redlight being able to infect humans and animals alike (and Blacklight being able to do such via scaling, which is valid by the way), and there are even such proof in the Prototype wikia. If anything, the burden of proof is on you for proving why the Ancestor should be able to resist being infected (and no, being an alien lifeform does not cover it, unless there's proof that being such gives on resistance to such unnaturally deadly diseases). If you have no actual proof, then the Ancestor simply can't resist it. Saying otherwise is NLF if there's no proof.
I have provided proof that Blacklight can infect more than just humans via feats and statements from the series (both of which are valid evidences), as well as scaling to proof that it can do such.
As for mindhax, it does not matter what the nature of the Mind Manipulation is, all it matters is the potency of such. We do not take into account of the origin of the mindhaxes, only the potency of it, which I have already told you of its potency. Whether or not Greene's mindhax requires one to be an infected or not doesn't matter as Mercer has resisted it. If Mercer has resisted such mindhax, and is faced with mindhax of a different origin from a character from an another series, but the mindhax is less potency in comparison, then we would have to assume that characters such as Mercer could resist such mindhax. Especially as, even if the nature of the mindhax is different, by resisting a more potent mindhax, then it'll only be logical that characters like Mercer can resist such mindhax as they are simply equal to or less potent in comparison to the mindhax they have faced. Also, while Greene did successfully force visions on Mercer, it was only
initially. Mercer was shown to be able to resist it later on. If characters like Mercer were once vulnerable to mindhax, but they have resisted it later on, then that simply means that mindhax that used to work on them before would no longer work on them again. Or else, going by your logic, characters like Seras Victoria would be vulnerable to illusions as she has been affected by such
before, despite the fact that she has gained the capability to resist it later on (being able to see through it and all).
From what I can tell, Greene's mindhax no longer worked on Mercer as the game progresses (perhaps due to him actively resisting it? Either way, he has resisted it), so Mercer's resistance to Mind Manipulation is still valid.
For the Infected army, most of the powerful ones are easily tier 8-As. Not like that matters because the Ancestor would have to kill a
lot of them before they dogpile him. Once that happens, they could pretty much infect him by bleeding on him (amongst other methods). And unless I see proof of the Ancestor flesh flaying a large amount of targets, I don't see him being
not being overwhelmed by the sheer numbers.
