Who Can Beat Alex Mercer?

Well, if we want to talk about DBZ characters...
Majin Buu can destroy planets, reform AFTER the planetary blast and survive in space. Omega Shenron also has that capability. Cell, maybe, to a lesser extent.
If you want to discuss comic characters...
Phoenix, Dark Phoenix, Galactus and any of his heralds, I'm pretty sure Thanos could take him (if you don't think he could normally, then add Infintiy Gauntlet), Dormammu, Dr. Strange, Dr. Doom, Thor, Hulk, Superman, the goddamned Batman, Green Lantern, Lex would probably find a way to take him down, Darkseid, Zod, perhaps Mongul.
Going over to the gaming characters...
Samus would find a way as would any of the various Metorids, Dante and crew would more than likely find a way, Bayonetta (punched God into the sun - 'nuff said), Invincible Star Mario and Luigi...and that's all I have for right now.
Alex is tough, but certainly not invincible.

Metroids, which were designed as population control for X parasites, which is essentially the same thing as blacklight, only X parasites can fly.
If you remember metroid fusion, they were designed specifically to predate upon amorphous, gooey parasitic infections that can take over, mutate, and shape shift people's bodies.CrazyCapnMorgan said:
Wolverine can regenerate brain cells (as soon in origins). But, Wolverine is killable, and in an alternate universe Magneto kills him.artanis_neravar said:
Really, there are tons of other invincible characters. And of course that's not including the Batman beats everyone law.
Referencing Origins is not making your point, an adamantium bullet could not puncture an adamantium skull so that entire scene was moot to begin with, anyway a nuclear blast would kill wolverine but not Alex so I think Alec winsgodofslack said:
COLE MCGRATH! It would keep with the Infamous vs. Prototype thing from a couple years ago.
Anyway, my vote goes to the Anti-Monitor, go me for the extremely obscure reference.

Lu kang would kick him in the face until he became hamburger meat then turn into a dragon and eat him because he's crazy like that
Raziel from the from the LoK series, because since Mercer can't be physically destroyed (Hence surviving a nuclear blast)Raziel is the only character I know of who can bypass the fact that Mercer is indestructable.
He can devour souls leaving a worthless husk behind. So assuming that works he'd never have to get around to killing Mercer.
Plus Raziel himself can possess a different physical form if his gets destroyed, and since Mercer can't chase him to the spectral realm it essentially makes Raziel indestructable as well.

Oh, well in that case.OutrageousEmu said:
Lich King freezes him solid with a hiccup, then has his zombie minions bury his frozen husk at the bottom of an arctic lake, after Arthas sucks out his soul, of course.
I had this thought a while ago. At first I thought Jackie Estacado from the darkness, due to his mastery over the titular mystical being. But he (as far as I know) is still vulnerable to physical harm. I then remembered Alex Mercer's fight (Well, it's not really Alex Mercer, but the Blacklight Virus taking his form) with the sargeant guy and he had a noticable weakness to electricity. So I would say that as long as Cole Mcgrath was near a limitless or constant source of energy, was light on his feet and never let up, he should have little trouble against Alex.
It's impossible, since alex can regenerate so long as a single cell still exists and there is no way to completely destroy matter, alex is god of invincibility. 'nuff said
I don't know... you make a lot of good points, but let's actually look seriously at Goku for a second.A Curious Fellow said:Oh hey, you've gone active again.ZeroMachine said:One of the fundamental laws of physics is that Goku always wins, no matter who is fighting who.
So, Goku.
EDIT: Ohshit, gotta be honest, I didn't read the OPyou have that law covered. Sorry, dude.
On topic: No one really. Even if Alex couldn't win, he wouldn't lose either. There isn't a single biological thing he can't assimilate, and if you evolve his powers to their logical extreme, he'll sooner or later be able to assimilate inorganic matter as well. Shit, the guy can shapeshift on the molecular fucking level, according to whatever he wills himself to be. So yeah, maybe he couldn't kill Wolverine or Superman or whatever, but he wouldn't have to. He'd just infect them and eventually his genetic structure and consciousness would subsume theirs.
So that's how he'd win, but here's how he can't lose:
If he can shapeshift to such a degree, then it follows that he could craft a second Alex Mercer if he so chose. It would be a simple matter of copying and building a replica of his own brain and then separating a lump of his own biomass for it to inhabit. QED: If you killed an Alex Mercer, and totally fucking erased all traces of the body, there's still another one out there. And presumably he could just duplicate himself all day.
And all this is before we even consider that Alex Mercer is a high functioning sociopath with no real understanding or care for moral philosophy.
Re-cap: Alex Mercer has the mental capacity to exist and manipulate matter on the nanoscopic scale, the physical capacity to self-clone ad infinitum, but lacks the emotional capacity for his clones to develop individually outside of a hive mind.
Mercer is the fucking Omega Singularity. The end and the summation of all things.
The guy has defeated enemies that can regenerate from single cells multiple times. He incinerates them on a cellular level. And at his most powerful in the series (let's just say Super Saiyan 3 because goodgodGTisawful) he could completely destroy an entire planet without breaking a sweat.
Even if the planet was full of Mercers, does he understand rocket science? Can he get off world?
