I am pretty sure all the avengers will answer the call to come and curbstomp Alex.

They would be successfull too.

Sweet, one of my suggestions.

Alex would become a pretty big threat with access to things like adamantium, teleportation, intangibility and telepathy.

But yeah, like Mata said, another team would probably take him down. Reed Richards would have a field day examining Alex.

All you need is hulk to curbstomb alex with his new powers.
But how about if alex mercer consumed the hulk ? That would be very interesting.

Wait, isn’t Dark Phoenix an X-men too? And she is pretty OP herself, without considering half of the other abilities Mercer would have…

Jerking it might prove to be an interesting experience……….

@ mm
so then he couldnt absorb wolverine

or colossus in his metal form, and as stated before i’m not even sure that alex would gain there ablities if he did absorb the x men.

@ss-Nope. Mercer has the ability to absorb biological organisms only. That means Wolverine and Colossus are definitly out.

Well, since it’s been established the Alex can’t take the X-mens powers, what else would happen with Marvels earth? With the loss of the X-men (Or at the very least 98% of them) who would keep all their villains in line?

alex could be the source for a new outbreak of his disease, in the marvel universe.

“The Punisher?”

Woah now. I think Frank Castle’s awesome too, but an M16 isn’t going to do much good when Apocalypse shows up.

“But there are pleanty of Super Teams to step up to the plate”.

While there is no shortage of super teams in the MU, there is also no shortage of X-men villains. And alot of those guys are major powerhouses. There’d be alot of work being piled on the likes of the Avengers and the FF.

“No, the faulty ass bogus non researching goggle faced fucktard of a writer made me lose… with his millions of rounds in a hole for weeks and weeks without cleaning a 50 or the hole out… that didnt match up, with depth, size, angle, M2 capabilities and ability to hold 62 million rounds…. ugh….”

Translation… PIss poor comic book writing saved Logan in that fight.

it was the MC vs Wolvie thread

“o ok , i didnt do much on that one it was to long”

Good times. I hope for another fight like that minus the one we do not speak of.

I just got the craziest idea. Imagine if Wolverine, Colossus, and Punisher teamed up. There team could be called Full Metal Jacket. They could take down anyone since they have no scruples about killing. I should swing that idea past Marvel lol

that would be pretty awesome… as long as they dont end up killing eachother in the process

“Translation… PIss poor comic book writing saved Logan in that fight.”

- Piss poor writing? One mistake in a single comic somehow makes everything about Logan “piss poor?” Mega, my friend, you most learn to lose with grace.

@ mata
were those stories any good?

@Mata-Be careful you must not spread the knowledge of the existence of those books or else the world could implode from the awsomeness.

“you need really need to reread that comment”

Lol Grammer fail

It should say “You really need to re-read that comment”

Sorry for double posting

““Piss poor writing? One mistake in a single comic somehow makes everything about Logan “piss poor?” Mega, my friend, you most learn to lose with grace.”

Kenny learn how to read I said the writing was piss poor not Logan you need really need to reread that comment”

Ah, my friends, still debating the past……oh well, Wolverine won through proof that defied our real-world physics. For me, I got to see Master Chief die another time. So I won twice….

Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Punisher.
Fixed.”

I believe my mind just had a black out from the sheer bad-assery of those two covers…..Mate, thank you very much for revealing this……I can not describe it in words, but I believe you get the point (or I hope you do…..).

- the pondering fool

“I got to see Master Chief die another time. So I won twice….”

Want you like to hear the stranges thing about it. Most of the time I forgot (Even during the debate) that I was debating for MC.

Strangest moment in my life.

hmmmmm i was thinking about alex trying to absorb wolverine and i think it is very possible he could absorb him by passing his virus through the veins of wolverine which access every part of his body andthen discard the then empty shell of adamantium.

and i think that when he absorbs an enemy he pretty much takes their power and make a variant of his own.

like when he absorbed the prime hunter thing and converted his power and created claws of his own

but he would be no match for any heavy weights

yes i suppose but if he has access to his veins he can just absorb his brain and just bypass his skeletal system

….also i think that he could absorb colossus via sneak attack

If he is able to go through the callus in the jolnts than it’s possible for him to reach the bone marrow and taken care of Logan and since the joints are not solid bones he might be able to.

“might be able too, emphases on the might”

First off my bad I mean to say Bone Cartilage NOT Callus. I scerwed up there for a second.

We must analysis any and all possibilities when it comes to this issue no matter how slight the chances are.

It is a 40% possibility that Mercer MIGHT be able too do it. Given that all he needs to do is consume the Cartilage in the joints. Since the Cartilage holds the skeleton together even if Mercer to consume all of Logan it would still be touble for him Given that would must likily Mercer will throw out Logan’s solid bones. But if Mercer consumes the Bone Cartilage then he will thorw out around 206 seperate bones and even with Logan’s regeneration factor could save him from that.

“How would this impact the Marvel Universe?”

To the main topic he would be a force to reckon with. In till he meets up with Galacticus.

“I’m pretty sure Mercer needs his enemies to be paralyzed or dead for him to consume them”

I see so he needs to kill this victim first before consuming them. That I did not know thanks for info.

“Unless Wolverine has some sort of weakness at the base of his skull. I seem to recall reading something about some sort of weakness in his adamantium skeleton at the base of his skull where his spine begins, but I have no source for that”

Could that source be in the MC VS Wolvie Thread

/Evil laugher follows/

“i just meant that there dosnt seem to be an opening in the adamantium coating on his bone for mercer to get into thenm and wolvie has come back from a skeleton before”

I know that see what you meant but without the cartilage which holds the skeleton together the skeleton would fall to pieces.

If Mercer is SOMEHOW able to paralyze Logan for a few seconds he might be able to consume everything minus the bones. If Logan is a pile of bones with nothing connecting the 206 seperate bones together than he is out of the picture and there wil be nothing (almost nothing Pro. X might be ableto stop not sure.) to stop him.

To put it in simple terms the Skeleton is like a brick wall. You can’t just put bricks on top of one and other and expect them to hold together. You need to put Brick Mortar between each brick in order to hold the wall together. In this case the bones are like the bricks and the cartilage is the mortar. Without the cartilage the bones can’t connected to each other cause the skeleton to fall apart.

Is Mercer able to remove the cartilage from Logan’s skeleton remains to be seen but the possibility is there no matter how slight it may be.

i think one of the bigger problems, alex would face trying to absorb the x men are the telepaths, like charles and emma frost, since he has never faced anything like them, they may try to psychically lock the virus as alex mercer and remove the knowledge of his ablities basically turning the virus into alex.

@mata
you are correct

The real question is then if he gets their powers. It’s not clear that he would get them.

hmm didnt know his regeneration attacked viruses

i guest he would need to injure him a fair bit to make his regenerative abilities a bit strained

but i think thats well within his capabilities

and also i dont think he does need to kill his victims just needs to injure them a fair bit

although it would be good to see him as a new villian in marvel…or maybe a hero

hes a hell of a lot cooler than some of the characters

“The spines thing…egh, I call it gameplay or if you want to get pseudosciency they could just be hold overs from life (the virus DOES think its a human) but non-essential as its just cosmetic.”

I’m pointed out the whole ‘Mercer has to break their backs before consuming them’ because in the game that was a minor plot point. He COULDN’T consume a Hunter Leader because he hadn’t broken its second back and thus it was able to resist him. A Doctor who studied both the Blacklight Virus and that specific Hunter explicitely told Mercer ‘You HAVE to break its second spine in order to consume this thing and that is why you couldn’t earlier.’

Additionally the only thing that he ever consumed without killing it in a gory fashion is the bird at the end, but that scene is split up with tiny skips in time so he might have done that anyways (the last we see of the bird is it starting to be covered by Blacklight; it isn’t consumed yet). Even then we see a pool of blood that isn’t Mercer’s (Mercer’s blood doesn’t flow like that as if it did it would have done so before the bird got to his body) before Mercer reforms implying that he killed the bird violently instead of consuming it whole and intact. Evidence from the game supports that he MUST break their spin or at the very least completely immobilize the target before consumption.

I don’t think this is just a game mechanic at this point.

hahaha if he absorbed the xmen he would have won in the alex vs cole thingo

but it would be cool to see some of the people try and kill him because i dont think many characters have the ability to generate the heat of a nuke….(well not one that would actually care enough to fight him)

and if he had the psychic powers and amped up regen laser beams teleportation

would be epic

wouldn’t alex be a source of a new blacklight breakout in the marvel universe, so not only has absorbed the x men robbing the marvel universe of a dedicated team of hereos, he may bring about its end depending on how fast the virus spreads, and how long if at all possible it takes to find a cure for it.

i see osborn using it as a weapon somehow

If Alex consumed the X-men it would be interesting indeed. Because of the virus’ auto-evolution, I’d think he would find a way to duplicate their powers. Wolverine would be the exception, since his back couldn’t be broken. This also assumes it is just the X-men and not all mutants. Regardless, I can’t imagine too much would come of it. Alex Mercer is a loner who keeps to himself. He would stay out of the world’s way if they stayed out of his.

…Just like to point out that for ZEUS uhhh i mean Alex to Consume someone/thing
he needs to have a part of him inside a wound of theirs….or for them to be dead it doesn’t really matter which (I.E. random guy ooh i got a paper cut and alex just sends a little strand of him into the paper cut and Eats him)

actually alex can obtain powers from enemies, your first power comes from hunters, and the armor/sword come from the dna used from a leader hunter.

colossus armor is organic, yet wolverines claws only make sparks against it. great addition to his powers.

this thread died when someone screwed up and said that “its been established that alex cant absorb powers.” dont see how you got that but this should start back up

midnite you forget blacklight is a retro virus…it reprograms the infecteds genome. wolerine has a fast healing factor, which basically put his immune system in over drive.

it is very debatable if he can consumed his since mercers rate of infection/consumption surpasses what ive seen wolverines healing factor. its one thing to fight off infection, but to resist having all your biomass converted instantly is beyond what ive seen wolerine handle.

ive looked up colossus. mercer can take him in heads up combat. and KOing him causes him to revert. which i believe mercer is capable of.

mercer would probably go after some sensory mutants first. also as i said mercer might want leech and caliban before he tries anything.

here’s a better pic of what would most likely kill Mercer due to the current events rule

I shed a tear when I read this one. Kurt died like a hero though
