However, there was a devastating viral outbreak in the city while he was serving abroad. Shortly before his scheduled return to the states, Heller received a call from his wife, who informed him of the outbreak and told him that Blackwatch had quarantined the area.
Heller reassured her that he would return the next day and told her not to worry, but when he arrived in the city he discovered that the Blacklight infection had ravaged all of Manhattan and his family had been killed. When Blackwatch claimed that a former scientist named Alex Mercer was responsible for the outbreak and had been spotted in the Red Zone, Heller volunteered for patrols in the infected Red Zone, hoping for a chance to find Mercer and kill him for the deaths of his family.
Patrols into the Red Zone were more suicide missions than legitimate military operations. As such, Blackwatch tended to delegate such missions to the United States Marine Corps and volunteers.
On one such mission, Heller and his unit were on patrol through the Red Zone when their Armored Personnel Carrier was hit by a car hurtling through the air. Heller emerged from the wreckage as the sole survivor of the event only to see Alex Mercer drop into the area.
Mercer did not initially notice Heller and started to inspect the corpses. While he had his back turned, Heller charged him and slit his throat, but Mercer regenerated and shrugged him off without so much as flinching. The marine recovered and managed to stab him multiple times only to be thrown back effortlessly.
Impressed by his tenacity, Mercer slowly retreated deeper into the Red Zone, seemingly amused by Heller's frenzied pursuit. During the chase, Heller was forced to dodge one of Blackwatch's patrol helicopters as Mercer kicked it out of the sky. Eventually Heller barely evaded a rampaging Goliath , only to be cornered by a Brawler Hunter. James managed to kill the Brawler using his combat knife. Mercer, who had been watching the entire time, confronted Heller again. The Marine blindly charged him only to be pinned to a wall by Mercer despite his efforts to cut himself free.
Alex Mercer then infected Heller with his strain of the Blacklight virus and departed just as another helicopter arrived on the scene to extract the now infected marine. After his encounter with Mercer, Heller was taken into custody by Blackwatch, where Dr.
Koenig attempted to learn how Heller had survived despite his body being flooded with the virus. As Heller struggled to gain consciousness, Col. Rooks and Lt. Riley ordered Heller's destruction through immolation. Koenig tried to delay the order by insisting on a few tests to collect data. Heller awoke surrounded by infected Walkers. When he displayed signs of abilities similar to Mercer, Col. Rooks once again ordered him burned. However, Heller survived the fire and escaped the facility.
After freeing himself from the lab, Heller was once again confronted by Mercer. He explained that he had chosen to infect Heller because he wanted James' help fighting Blackwatch. He forced Heller to consume one of the Blackwatch soldiers that knew about the viral outbreak in Hope, Idaho and Blackwatch's part in the virus' development, claiming that he was not responsible for the current outbreak, that it was Gentek and Blackwatch conducting bio-weapon tests. Reluctantly, Heller agreed to foil Blackwatch's operations throughout New York.
Sometime after escaping from Gentek's facility Heller was confronted by Blackwatch soldiers in the Yellow Zone. During this skirmish, Heller discovered his ability to use other humans as a disguise to escape.
Due to his familiarity with the zone, Heller was able to track down Luis Guerra , a priest who was familiar with the Heller family. After finding him, James explained what he had been through the previous night and requested Guerra's assistance in fighting Blackwatch. Unfortunately, Father Guerra had lost all hope of resisting Blackwatch's hold in the zone.
To restore the priest's faith, Heller foiled one of Blacktwatch's operations to study a Brawler's behavior and considerably reduced Blackwatch's hold in the Yellow Zone. Guerra's will to fight was rejuvenated by Heller's actions and he agreed to help him. Guerra then aided Heller in his hunt for Colonel Rooks by helping him hack into Blacknet , which allowed Heller to eventually track down Rooks.
However, Heller decided not to kill the Blackwatch leader because he realized that he could get information from Rooks and use it to disrupt Blackwatch operations. After consuming many Gentek scientists, Heller eventually located Dr Koenig, who convinced him that he wanted to help and directed Heller to Project Orion, a Blackwatch super soldier program.
Heller successfully stopped Project Orion but, after consuming the lead scientist, discovered that Koenig was trying to get him killed. Koenig contacted Blackwatch to evacuate him, but Heller killed the soldiers guarding the base where he was hiding.
During the evacuation, Koenig boarded one of the gunships and ordered the pilot to attack Heller instead of evacuating. However, Heller destroyed the gunship and tried to consume Koenig, only for the scientist to display superhuman abilities and announce himself as one of Mercer's Evolved. Koenig told Heller that he served Alex Mercer as an inside source at Gentek to get information. He then began to mock Heller, claiming that he wanted to prove to Mercer that he should be his second in command, and to do that, he had to kill Heller.
Koenig then attacked Heller but the latter was able to overpower and consumed Koenig, gaining the knowledge that Mercer had spies in both Gentek and Blackwatch. An irritated Alex Mercer then confronted Heller and confirmed that he had people within Blackwatch and Gentek. He explained that he and Heller were to lead the attack on Blackwatch and Gentek in order to wipe them out.
Heller noted that Mercer made no mention of the virus' destruction, to which Mercer dismissively replied that it would be destroyed as well. In the Green Zone, Heller met with Father Guerra who showed him a devastating piece of evidence, footage of Alex Mercer entering Pennsylvania Station , the site of the first outbreak, and releasing the virus a second time. Heller was enraged as he realized that Mercer was responsible for the entire infection, including the deaths of his wife and daughter.
The danger here is exactly what happened - one grew too powerful too fast and the Mercer entity simply didn't have the means to dominate it any longer. S the Mercer entity mimicked a guy with the scholarly brain of a dead scientist. Heller is a brute. Both show, 'Mercer' is clearly much smarter than Heller, But Heller is far more aggressive in combat.
This matters in a fight. To this day, I am still confused as to why Alex Mercer lost the fight. He used a very limited set of his powers, And seemingly, In comparison to the power that we've seen him use, Decides to become much weaker than he should. There is no way that Alex would actually lose. It's either poor writing, Or they are implying Alex wanted to be consumed, So that maybe he could take over Heller's body and combine the powers? Alex couldn't absorb Heller's DNA through consumption.
There is no doubt in it. Alex Mercer is way more powerful than James Heller. He has a whole lot of destroyers in his pocket. James Heller has just one.
Moreover, Alex Mercer controls every single molecule of the blacklight virus. If he would have wanted, James Heller would never be able to even touch him. Alex Mercer by the end of p1 was a god, He has the minds of hundreds of people and consumed Elizabeth Greene, Heller has no way of finding such power source to even stand in the same room as alex.
Not only that but Alex is way smarter than Heller and not only that but Alex is controlling the virus so by definition Heller wouldn't be able to come close to Alex at all. Okay for all the people saying Heller is stronger I see your point but you have to come to realization Alex has more powers than Heller, He created him, Eh dafuq am I saying we all know Mercer is stronger, Better, And cooler than Heller. This is common knowledge dudes lol.
Due to the fact Heller yes did consume Alex but it doesn't prove anything, Heller doesnt realize that even a single molecule of Alex remaining will cause him to come back and guess what, His arms got ripped off and for another he hasn't used muscle arms which should show something, How do we know If he didn't plan his own death?
Alex Mercer was the very first prototype to enhance his powers to the best of his ability. He took a nuke and regenerated from a single blood cell. Heller has a hard time with the military let alone a nuke. Alex is strong enough to destroy the entire military. His muscle mass along with his armor makes his immune to bullet penetration and almost completely immune to rockets. Alex runs faster, Jumps higher and throw object further.
Alex Mercer is all power with 0 weak spots. Where heller has many. Secondly the proposition that Heller consumed the better evolved: All those evolved Heller consumed were created by Mercer himself, So clearly they were beneath Mercer in power.
Now as for the final battle, The makers Clearly and evidently didn't put to use the half of the powers out of a dozens of power that Alex had in P1. He was Made to fight short handed. Because the game would be ten minutes long.
So, instead, we get drip fed targets as a deus ex machina to learn about more targets. At times it seems like the game is going down the tired route of the old Nietzsche saying cautioning against fighting monsters, lest you become one.
This game is a nihilist. It believes in nothing, Lebowski. Instead we pound enemies with your mutant hammerfists or dismember the creatures that roam the streets limb by limb or impale enemies on your blade fist…things. There is no catharsis.
