In Prototype, other people hold clues to Alex Mercer’s past—and he can acquire their memories, skills and appearance by consuming them. His infection also grants him shapeshifting powers and superhuman physical abilities that develop over time.
Alex wakes in a Manhattan morgue with no memory of his former life. As he investigates the conspiracy behind his condition and tries to stop the BLACKLIGHT outbreak, he faces both virus-created monsters and military forces, including the biological-warfare unit Blackwatch. His sister Dana helps him track down people connected to the conspiracy.
