Supreme Hunter

Supreme Hunter's History

The Supreme Hunter is the form taken by the "Cure" after it was rejected by Elizabeth Greene's body. It is the final antagonist in Prototype.

The Supreme Hunter is an odd creature. It stands nearly 10 feet tall, and its face appears to have been melted away on one side, while the other side looks similar to the regular Hunter's face. It also has glowing orange eyes and a very large, parasitic looking bulge on its neck. The legs of the Supreme Hunter appears to have a very muscular appearance to them and don't seem to match the body. The Supreme Hunter's left arm is thin and lanky with a blade like Alex's, covered with blood. The other is large, sinewy, and black, ending in a deformed 5-fingered claw.

Origin

The Supreme Hunter began as a cancer weapon, a Parasite that was created by Blackwatch to destroy Alex Mercer. The parasite started to consume Alex but with the help of Dr. Bradley Ragland, Alex was cured from the parasite, but a part of it was kept. After Dana was kidnapped by a Leader Hunter, Alex thought to use the Parasite to kill Elizabeth Greene. After a short battle, Alex Mercer was able to inject Greene with the same cancer weapon that had been used against him, however unlike Mercer, her body was quickly able to reject the Parasite and as a result created the Supreme Hunter. After a protracted battle, the Supreme Hunter was thought to be destroyed and reduced to a puddle of biomass. It was revived shortly after when Alex Mercer unknowingly stepped in the puddle.

Death

At some point before the game's climax aboard the aircraft carrier USS Reagan, the Supreme Hunter had completely regenerated and managed to consume Specialist Cross, assuming his form and gaining access to his memories. After General Randall was dealt with, the Supreme Hunter reveals himself and attempts to consume Alex, which would allow him to survive the impending nuclear explosion. Fortunately for Manhattan Island, the Supreme Hunter is defeated when he is decapitated by Alex, who was also able to move the nuclear weapon to a safe distance before it detonated.
