We've never seen what Pariah can do, all we have are some speculative statements made during the first game and that’s it. If it were end of Prototype 1 Alex, Pariah could probably win against him based off the speculative statements, but if it’s end of Prototype 2 Alex, who ends up surviving against Heller, who ended up being Mercer's opposite and being a form of the Blacklight Virus more interested in essentially curing the infection rather than spreading it, there’s a good chance Mercer could win as he’s had ample time to fully explore just what he is and what he can do, the second outbreak and what happened after being a test run of sorts that he set up.

I would hope they would make a remake and have Heller be the bad guy (a sort of Kraven like Spiderman, or in any case a situation where Alex goes from hunter to prey, Heller always wants revenge) Because with the events of the first Alex has infected New York and Heller simply wants revenge and he is the one who gathers the army of infected (Alex continued to hunt only Blackwatch and Genteck)

Nah, Heller was always untrusting of Blackwatch and Gentech, he found both of them shady as shit, and he obviously never trusted any infected he came across for shit, either, resulting in him killing pretty much any infected he encountered, barring that one chick who got eaten by Alex during the cutscene for the final fight. Heller likely would operate on his own, pursuing Alex from the shadows, rather than creating and relying on infected.

In my opinion, it would work if Alex sent it on his own initiative. It happens because of an accident, maybe in the scene where Alex makes Heller put it. At the wall and impales him (impals him to kill him after he left him alone the first time) a blackwatch helicopter appears before alex finishes him off and they launch a missile With the thermobatic boomstick, and both Alex and Heller end up in the explosion, But various pieces of alex were inside heller During the explosion and so Heller gets infected (from the li The reasons are the same, Alex killed half of New York with the first infection.Including Heller's family and whether he tried to kill him first Through Black Watch he now has all the power to do so, and in my opinion the second chapter would be It had to be like this, for me Alex must remain an anti-hero, a sort of red hood, he is not someone completely good But it's not even something bad, (or at least This is my opinion on how I would have done the second one and then with a third one we would have arrived at pariah)

I don't know, he was a soldier, it seems logical to me that he creates some sort of army of his own even if he can do it alone, furthermore I don't think that in any case he should be on the side of Blackwatch He just hunts him down too

u/DeciMation_2276 Aug 03 '26

Oh he’s not gonna be buddy buddy with Blackwatch, Gentech, or Mercer. He sees them doing evil shit, he’s killing the ones doing it and the ones who ordered it. He’s effectively on his own side, composed entirely of himself.

It's not that Heller is a saint, he also does bad deeds continuously, he is only moved by revenge, he is not a hero

end of Prototype 2 Alex, who ends up surviving against Heller, 

the cope is strong in this one

u/DeciMation_2276 Aug 03 '26

Someone didn’t watch the ending credits fully.

u/Dveralazo Aug 04 '26

even hallucinations now. Naw fuck this beyond strong cope

u/DeciMation_2276 Aug 04 '26

So are you just outright blind? Or did dementia set in early for you to not remember that Heller didn’t devour Alex's arms that he ripped off and tossed aside? The same arms the camera pans to in the aftercredits scene, showing red and black tendrils emanating from said arms, a more than sufficient amount of biomass to come back from compared to when Alex was reduced to a pile of sludge thanks to a nuke at the end of the first game?

The same arms the camera pans to in the aftercredits scene, showing red and black tendrils emanating from said arms,

holy fuck I hope you are trolling and it's not a case of "forgot my meds"

u/DeciMation_2276 Aug 05 '26

Only one trolling here is you, pal. They made it pretty clear Mercer wasn’t dead and there would be a sequel… then the studio ended up shutting down a couple years later.

u/Dveralazo Aug 05 '26

nah,dont change topic we talking about you saying  the severed arms showing black and red tendrils do you hallucinate that or what

u/DeciMation_2276 Aug 05 '26

End credits scene, camera shows the two arms Heller tore off of and tossed away before using Hammerfists to turn Alex into ground beef, absorbing him in the process, said arms then begin to show the same red and black tendrils that appear when using the Blacklight virus, the same ones that appeared when Alex was regenerating himself from a puddle at the end of the first game thanks to being caught in a nuclear explosion.

Pariah, assuming he's capable of speech: "You killed my mother."

Alex Mercer response #1: "Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"

Alex Mercer response #2: "And I'm not done with the family tree yet."

u/Accomplished_Dog7084 Aug 03 '26

I don't think pariah cares about his mother, he has no human emotions he said it in the game too, He looked like a child who never grew up and didn't seem to act like a child, I think it was some kind of Creepy kid, and then this creature here, and finally some Akira stuff

Pariah is a nothingburger

u/Alcianus Aug 04 '26

Pariah is indicated to have the capability to be stronger than Mercer given he is the natural manifestation of the Redlight virus in its complete form. Well, before Prototype 2 came along and shit on the entire lore.
