Alex from the Prototype games takes on DC's New 52 version of the mutated botanical scientist.

Location is New York City. The place is stripped of all human, animal and plant life so neither side can consume to regenerate.

Can the walking viral strain defeat it's leafy opponent or does mother nature finally get to take down something man made?

Swamp Thing 10/10 easily.

I'll bite. What can Swamp Thing do?

Swamp Thing wins.

Powers: Swamp Thing can inhabit and animate vegetable matter anywhere (including alien plants, even sentient ones) and construct it into a body for himself. As a result, bodily attacks mean little to him. He can easily regrow damaged or severed body parts, and can even transport himself across the globe by leaving his current form, transferring his consciousness to a new form grown from whatever vegetable matter is present in the location he wishes to reach (he even grew himself a form out of John Constantine's meager tobacco supply on one occasion).

Swamp Thing possesses superhuman strength of undefined limits. While Swamp Thing's strength has never been portrayed as prominently as many of his other abilities, he demonstrated sufficient strength to rip large trees out of the ground with ease and trade blows with the likes of Etrigan the Demon.

Swamp Thing can control any form of plant life. He can make it move to his will or accelerate its growth. This control even extends to alien life, as he once cured Superman of an infection caused by exposure to a Kryptonian plant that was driving Superman mad and causing his body to burn out its own power.

After the run of Mark Millar, Swamp Thing had also mastered the elements of fire, earth, water and air, the parliaments of each later killed by The Word, implying that he has retained these abilities and has the power once held by the Parliaments. This has yet to be explained.

The new Swamp Thing (a resurrected Alec Holland) has not only been given the full Elemental powers his predecessor once had, but also a White Lantern Power Ring with full control over its power.

This is what I get for not reading Blackest Night yet. I had no idea Swamp Thing is a White Lantern.

Swamp Thing would rape without a ring.

Here's his respect thread. http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f98/t477562.html

It says he had god-like powers but got rid of them. Btw, I said NYC is stripped of any life excluding the two combatants which means there aren't any plants Alec can merge with to make himself grow the size of a mountain and all that. If ST leaves his current form and puts his consciousness inside another plant, that's giving Mercer the win because it means his opponent left the battlefield and that's pretty much the goal for him here: to at least make Swamp Thing leave his vessel.

ST could reform inside of Alex's stomach. ST doesn't need plants to reform. Rip his arm off and he'll reform it right there on the spot without absorbing something.

I don't think Alex exclusively needs walking meat bags to consume and can actually devour plants for his mutated biomass will absorb anything organic. What about that?

That's an opinion with no evidence to support it and it's purely speculation. You can think that but it doesn't help Alex especially since it's not proven. The only plant life he'd have to even try to consume is Swamp Thing himself and he's not absorbing Swamp Thing. He loses 10/10.

Plants don't react well to viruses. Mercer is literally a virus. That stuff tends to affect things with living cells. If Swamp Thing took a piece of Blacklight, I imagine it would not be kind to him which is why the Green would no doubt reject the stuff for it can be a threat to the ecosystem should Swamp Thing walk around with that. Maybe.

Maybe you should read his respect thread and check his feats before you think some virus is going to affect him. ST has taken on things severely above Mercer's power level. Mercer can not do a thing, you could add Mercer and Heller and they'd both die horribly. Swamp Thing isn't some simple plant, he's not just plant life.

Viriods affect plants, viruses which Alex is, don't. and last I check Alex was never proven to affect plant life. And Swamp thing is no simple plant even if their was no plant life on the planet he can merely regrow it.

Also if Anti Monitor wasn't able to completely obliterate him what makes you think Alex can

He fought the Anti-Monitor? Again, I was not aware of him being a White Lantern or was this when he wasn't? There's just so many comic issues, it's hard to follow at times for me.

Are you sure the Anti-Monitor didn't destroy his body at least?

Once again, the goal here for Alex is to at least destroy Swamp Thing's body and of course plants help him reconstruct. That's why I excluded them from the battlefield. The moment he leaves to make a new body outside NYC is Mercer's victory.

What do you think the planet is to Swamp Thing?

He can still regrow on the spot its not like Alex has anything that will cause him to be force to respawn and given that swap thing has a flight advantage and lazer vision he can hit alex from afar.
