So i have some questions about Alex Mercer and his Regenerationn and stamina.
1. His Regenerationn. Why is it "mid high"? It is made painfully clear that he was never fully evaporated part of him was still ok, and by that i mean the puddle of virus that infected the crow. Now there are several problems here.
1. His Regenerationn. Why is it "mid high"? It is made painfully clear that he was never fully evaporated part of him was still ok, and by that i mean the puddle of virus that infected the crow. Now there are several problems here.
- First he needed the crow to fully reform his body. Inb4 someone argues that he does not, well...then why did he wait to absorb the crow before reforming his full body? My answer either he could not do that (which is my most likely assumption, which i will explain why below), or it would take too long, so long in fact it could make his regen from a puddle not combat applicable at all. So not only was he not fully evaporated, but he also needed material to reconstruct his body.
- Second his regen can be tired out. Proved by his fight against James Heller, he can virtually instantly reform stuff like his arms when they are cut off, but i mean there is a limit to everything. Before someone says that that fight was PIS, well, depends. Alex could have launched his tentacles on the city, but he didn't do that. You can view that as PIS that he didn't go for it to gain more material for his regen, or you can view that as James Heller was heavily overpowering him, it is very unlikely that Heller would allow him to absorb anyone. That is the only part i can view as PIS personally. Saying that "Alex did not regen due to PIS" is a bit of a hard deal to bargain, considering Alex did heal/regen his injuries several times during that fight, but he was sustaining a lot of damage.
- There is also cases like 11:52, where Alex is having trouble with his wounds from the continuous gunshot (while he still eventually heals, that is eventually and the damage wasn't even that grave), and although this is a newly infected Mercer, it still points to a "limit" in the regen, his regen may get higher later on (he can take the same amount of damage and not budge, but that's not to say he can heal infinitely against any level of damage), but saying it loses all limits it has previously shown and now heals infinitely without the need to consume is a bit you know...far fetched.
