I think this would be more interesting a conversation if we left out comic book/anime opponents as they often get ridiculous. They same couple dudes show up every thread of this type.

Alex Mercer is the all powerful being in the world of Prototype, but is there anybody from any other universe that can actually beat him?

I would have to say Goku, Gohan, or Vegeta.

Go wild...
But Mr. Satan is the only character in the Dragon ball series to never die, plus he helped to save the world a couple times. And he's the world champ. Nuf said.

In all honesty, abridged series Popo is the end of existence as we know it so that's where my money lies.

Batman could. Why? Because he's Batman.

He'd do what Batman does best, which is to pull a deus ex machina out of his arse and inject it into Mercer.
And if for some reason (and it'd have t'be a damn good reason) Batman couldn't pull it off alone(which i believe to be nigh-impossible, because Batman rules all), he could just call in th'rest of the JLU...they'd stop him (you did after all say who could "beat" Alex, not necessarily "Kill" him...)...

Firestorm. He can manipulate molecules and turn them into anything. Therefore whipfist= neutralized. Also, he could just turn Alex into...bubblegum or....anything really.

He isn't very resilient to bullets when there are a lot of them being shot at him. So just about anyone can kill him if they attack from behind or in numbers.

Alex is overrated and so is DBZ.
Link can kill Alex and so can a great deal of many charaters.
Alex by himself isn't much he needs to consume his way up the ladder.
Also Alex died before you even played, big news right?

Spider-man. He can dodge attacks ahead of time due to spider sense and has fought guys with similar powers like Carnage and Venom. Plus hes Spider-man, he always wins.
Also Doctor Manhattan for obvious reasons.
Yeah, but Mercer wouldn't hesitate to kill Spider-man if he got the chance, because lets face it, Spirder-man is a pussy when it comes to actually killing someone.

Commander Shepard.

You could fight like a krogan, run like a leopard, but you'll never be better than Commander Shepard.
Yeah, but Shepard is only human. The day that Shepard can survive multiple direct hits from tank shells, THEN he would stand a chance. Otherwise, I'd have fun seeing him ripped in half in the bloodiest manner possible.

OT: I can't name anything off the top of my head right now, so I'm just gonna roll with the protagonist from Prototype 2, hehehe.

Nothing, Alex Mercer is technically invincible. If you put him in a fight against another invincible being such as Wolverine, they'll just fight forever.

That i would like to see.

As for who would be able to beat him? I don't know. i've never played the game. But maybe... himself?

That's what I was going to say.
Mercer may be powerfull, but Shepard just never fucking dies. He's harder to kill than Jack Sparrow.

Kratos.

He'll rip off his spine and then some.
Mercer survived an atom bomb, as I recall. Spine-pulling, whilst fun, would probably tickle him.

The Player Character from Prototype 2
Then again, Kratos has been known to kill presumably immortal Gods. I could only assume given enough determination and time, Kratos could and will find a way of killing Alex.

Firstly, thank you for making my day by referencing the night angel. Secondly, you assume that Alex's consumption functions in a similar manner to the feralis, where as it really doesn't. The ferali will consume your body, then rearrange your flesh to its body to suit is needs (Ie. your bones becone armour or weaponry) whereas when Alex consumes you he takes you and changes you at a molecular level to regenerate his own body. Thirdly, given that the black ka'kari probably wont work on Alex (Given that it will probably not be able to consume him as fast as he can regenerate, and he could (probably) find and eventual hole in the ka'karifer's defence to consume them (as shown in the Kylar-ferali battle where the ferali owns Kylar and Vi after some time.) he could almost certainly shift his celluar structure to match that of the ka'karifer, with soul and all intact, to such a point as to satisfy the conditions to still control the ka'kari... and the ka'kari is one of the few things in-universe that can easily kill a ferali if used properly... yeah. TBH, IMO the Dark Hunter is ther only thing in that universe that could even put up a decent fight against Mercer. And even then, it seems pretty similar, if a lot smarter, to the hunter enemies alex fights in his own universe... and he eventually breaks them too. And taking that to its logical conclusion, once Mercer consumes the Dark Hunter he gets archmage level magic, several ka'karis, Curoch and probably Iures given the above discussion on Ka'karifers. so, yeah, giving mercer access to that universe is one of the very few methods of making him even MORE overpowered.

On topic: No one really.
Two exceptions that both think outside the box:

This guy [http://images.wikia.com/typemoon/images/a/ab/ShikiTohno_mbaa.png] looks like a total wuss. And he is... unless he's not. [http://danbooru.donmai.us/data/d454bf7426ba1cd4e6cc132c6004ccf0.jpg]
He can kill anything that is possible to kill since he has eyes that can see special lines and dots on things. If he stabs the lines, things will fall apart there, if he stabs a dot, its existence will be obliterated. This can range from cleanly slicing a chair to stabbing a person so it hits the poison in their veins and destroys it.
So should he get a hit, he can kill anything unless it's immortal by some rule. Since he eradicates his target's existence, revival doesn't work either.

Alternatively, any character that summons/fights with water. Remember why Mercer can't escape New York (unless he travels by helicopter)?

Alternatively alternatively, get some bloodtox and supercancer, improve it up to eleven and go nuts. Or drop a nuke, works against anything alive.

P.S.
Mercer does have some moral values, that's part of his whole character. He cares for his sister and he hates the original Mercer for what he's done, despite the fact without his actions he never would have been born. So in a way he is an unlikely hero that cares about the city at large. (As far as I know) we don't even have canonical information of how many and which people he consumed, so maybe unlike we players he didn't kill thousands of civilians purely by accident.
Hmm... In response to your arguments: Bullshit. I just plain don't buy it.
