Description So before I started this piece I was seeing tons of spam threads over on GameFAQs about who would win in a fight between Alex Mercer from [Prototype] and various other characters. That site tends to attract even more spam than most sites but it has always been that way so I thought nothing of it when I seen the front page of a section filled from top to bottom with nearly identical spam topics. When the VS threads started though there was one that caught my eye. It was between Alex Mercer and Kirby.

Yes Kirby. The pink power stealing puff ball from Nintendo. I started thinking about what might happen if the two characters ever did meet up and Kirby managed to get the jump on Mercer in battle. What would Kirby look like if he managed to absorb Mercer's powers?

Well this is what I think he would look like. I've dressed Kirby in an outfit similar to Mercer's and given him the Blade shape shifting power. I decided to put him on a light in Manhattan which was going to be the main light source until I realized that the whole picture was too dark. Instead I made the sunrise the main source of light and figured that all the windows would reflect light back onto Kirby's face.

The helicopter was so far in the distance I didn't think that it needed any detail. I felt the piece needed a sense of movement and danger so I added the missile.

He got taken down by a happy pink puffball, not so sure he'd want to walk the streets after that.

Now with Mercers powers, Kirby can eat ANYTHING!

Was there something he couldn't already eat?

Has he ever tried to eat something that size though? I can't think of a time when he's tried something like that.

same here. Hence why I thought with Mercer's Powers, he can eat anything now! You know, complete control over form like how Mercer eats his victims.

I always thought that Kirby was Nintendo's form of Alex... Or Alex was Activision's form of Kirby... Think about it....

ZippingMeteor In reply to MioDioDaVinci [2010-02-06 21:39:11 +0000 UTC]

Kirby came first so if anyone was an inspiration for the other it would be him as inspiration for Mercer. Though I bet characters like Venom and Carnage were looked at more closely than the pink power stealing puffball from Nintendo.

Kirby absorbed Mercer's powers. I mentioned that in the description.

This literally made me laugh out loud

Aye, pretty much everything would be screwed against Mercer.
So... Mario versus a Supreme Hunter would be interesting... jumping on things won't really work here

ZippingMeteor In reply to Esktasy [2009-08-24 22:53:39 +0000 UTC]

I think the Mushroom Kingdom would loose their hero real quick in that matchup. No matter what suit Mario would be wearing, he wouldn't really stand a chance against a Supreme Hunter.

It's just the mental image... *mario tries to hop onto the hunter* *gets flicked away* XD
I was trying that too often during the end battle

Mmmmh... Alex against Wolverine could be evenly matched.

ZippingMeteor In reply to Esktasy [2009-08-25 19:31:19 +0000 UTC]

Unless the Hunter could break the metal on Wolverine's bones, I'm not sure it would be that even of a fight. Logan would get beat up of course but that would just make him angry and nobody is safe when that happens. He would likely just rip the Hunter's head off.

Thanks! I have another Kirby Mercer piece that is currently a WIP but various Splosion Man pieces have been distracting me from working on it.

That fight would be very interesting to see.

ZippingMeteor In reply to Crimson-Knight77 [2009-07-20 00:49:31 +0000 UTC]

I think it would end up very bad for Kirby unless it caught Alex by surprise. Even though Kirby can kind of fly, Alex has the Whipfist and super human speed so Kirby wouldn't be able to get away.

Yeah, the little pink puffball's prety much screwed.

I take it you're going to make a crossover piece like this too. I'll have to keep my eyes open if you do.

I had to get Mercer's evil scowl in the piece somehow. It just wouldn't have looked right if Kirby was happy as he was being shot by helicopters.

ZeroGMX In reply to ZippingMeteor [2009-07-11 02:41:42 +0000 UTC]

or looking happy just because he can enjoy himself

ZippingMeteor In reply to ZeroGMX [2009-07-11 03:06:30 +0000 UTC]

For this piece I don't think "happy" would have worked at all. Though I may make another Kirby Mercer piece with an entirely different mood. One where Kirby is happy and playful while still using one of Mercer's powers. Maybe I'll sketch that later tonight. I'll write a journal when that idea is finalized.
