Talk:Alex Mercer vs. Carnage/@comment-25182985-20150222025848

Damn and to believe I used to think that Alex Mercer would take this, but I did lot of research and in the end, I must say that Carnage would actually win. Why? Well let me explain.

Carnage is slightly stronger and faster, Mercer isn't too behind though, plus Carnage has faced a variety of opponents that were more powerful than Mercer, not to mention better regeneration, Mercer needs biomass to regenerate, whereas Carnage's can self regenerate, it took the combined efforts of Spider-Man and Venom to fight him and even then he was kicking their asses at the same time, and last but not least, since symbolites are immune to all earthly diseases and the fact the blacklight virus is from earth, Carnage would prove to be immune to it and Mercer would not be able to consume the symbolite or Carnage for that matter too. There's also the fact that Carnage is far more unpredictable.

The only advantages Mercer has is being smarter and being able to the only advantage Mercer has is being smarter and could exploit his weaknesses such as heat and sound, however that wouldn't change a thing since none of Alex's innate attacks could directly play into Carnage's weaknesses, and while it's definitely feasible that he could eventually found out that he was weak to fire or sound, keep in mind that Carnage has shown FAR more resilience to the weaknesses that symbiotes typically have on multiple occasions.

And BEFORE you bring up the whole "BUT ALEX MERCER SURVIVED A NUKE!". NO! he did not, you see that scene is a bit misleading like I said, in order to regenerate he needs biomass and he actually died from the nuke, had a random crow not of came by, something that happened by luck, Mercer would of stayed dead as nothing but a pile of goop.

So in the end, Carnage wins this, but it won't be an easy fight.
