In 2009, Radical Entertainment’s Prototype turned out to be such a massive hit that even today, we gossip about it. From a well-presented storyline to jaw-dropping action, it undeniably delivered a mesmerizing gaming experience. A cosplayer recently left the gaming community bewitched with his stunning Alex Mercer avatar from Prototype.

A little about the game: you play as the title’s protagonist, Alex Mercer, who boasts jaw-dropping powers. You’ll enjoy every second invested in the game with relentless combat and mass destruction with deception abilities. As for the origin of his powers, Alex exposes himself to the blacklight virus, which ultimately grants him superhuman abilities.

Considering the player’s overwhelming response, the publisher, Activision, and Radical Entertainment soon began working on the sequel. Therefore, Prototype 2 debuted in 2012 with double the action and fun of its predecessor. Let’s check out this fantastic Alex Mercer cosplay that the fans can’t get enough of.

Not only did Rodney wear a jacket identical to that of the game, but he also incorporated LED light strips to showcase the in-game mutation’s vibrant red beam. Therefore, it reflects all the hard work and insane dedication that went into making this cosplay. As expected, the community has spoken, with fans applauding the effort.

One of the fans commented, “Wow, fantastic!” reacting to the above tweet. Many people have appreciated how amazing the cosplay appeals.

Rodney’s real-life adaptation of Alex Mercer has undoubtedly raised the bar for other cosplayers. However, it’s also likely to inspire many, motivating them to challenge their devotion and creativity. Also, do you know the popular YouTuber IShowSpeed is no longer a Cristiano Ronaldo megafan?
