Alex is considered super intelligent and is seen by some to be almost as intelligent as Magneto. He is known to always have plans within plans. He is a lateral thinker in his own right. He is very manipulative and preys on the weaknesses of others and easily controls them thorough their weaknesses. But sometimes, he is too smart for his own good.
He is filled with a deep hatred for non-mutants, which influenced his choice to join the Brotherhood. He is predatory by nature and is terrifying to most other people. He is vicious and vindictive, doing whatever it takes to whomever. He can truly be called evil and because of this is one of the most feared mutants in the brotherhood.

What I can Do and Can't
Powers:
Biological Manipulation- He can manipulate his own biomass into concentrated areas on his body for a number of weapons, a shield, or even full body armor. He can absorb organic matter of living creatures. This allows him to access and utilize any knowledge, experience, memories, powers, or skills that his prey possessed.
Abilities:
Alex shifts his biomass into a 3 fingered, 1 thumbed talon-like appendages that he uses to shred flesh and bone. By shifting large amounts of biomass towards his hands, Alex can create large hammer-like weapons that are excellent at crushing both vehicles and people. Alex can grow an elongated double ended blade from his elbow onward, turning his arm into a giant razor sharp blade. Alex can transform his right arm into a razor sharp tentacle that can lash out and cut enemies in half. Alex can also create plates of hardened biomass formed all around himself, like a suit of armor. By absorbing various military and special forces infantry, Alex has gained their knowledge and skill in hand to hand combat, melee combat, and combat using firearms as well as being able to drive and pilot most military vehicles. He is also a gifted strategist.
Weaknesses: Alex can spend only limited time in his armor and can be killed just like normal people.
What Happened to Me
Alex Mercer was born in New York City to Mary and Anthony Mercer. He was not born a mutant and as such did not exhibit powers. But Alex longed to be a mutant. He thought they were better than everyone else. He craved to become a mutant and didn’t care how. Alex’s family was very poor in the city and Alex would often have to work with his father or do jobs for others so the family could make ends meet. When he was 17, he learned of a research program called Project Blacklight was being conducted and it would pay willing test subjects very well for their time. Seeing a chance to make a lot of money for his family, Alex signed up. This choice would be the first step in Alex losing his humanity and becoming a mutant.
The official objective of Project Blacklight was to create a beneficial virus that would cure any and all diseases and ailments that a human could have. But their real goal was much shadier and diabolical. The real goal was to create a virus that would only kill mutants. The test subjects, mutants and non-mutants alike, would be given the virus and the scientists would see who died from it. 20 test subjects were given the virus, including Alex. A few days passed and no one died. Then, every test subject died except for Alex from the virus. The virus was found to have a mortality rate of 99.999% and affected both mutants and non-mutants. But the virus had completely changed Alex. His genetic code been completely rewritten until Alex was no longer human. He had gained mutant powers and suffered from amnesia, not remembering anything. The scientists did not know what species he now was, so they classified him as Blacklight Virus Strain DX-1118 and codenamed him ZEUS.
Soon after, Alex learned of his assimilation abilities when he completely absorbed one of the lead scientists. After he absorbed him, Alex learned what Project Blacklight was doing and became enraged. Using his newly gained powers, Alex broke out of the place they were keeping him and fled New York City. His hatred grew of non-mutants and it grew faster when he learned he had to absorb people to stay alive. One day Alex returned to New York City and was walking through Central Park. It was then that he met Magneto, leader of the Brotherhood. Hearing of how the Brotherhood were calling mutants to rise up against non-humans, Alex immediately joined but said that he should only be called Zeus. He has since become a very powerful mutant.

writing sample:
Alex approached the soldier cautiously from the shadows. He needed the access code for the base and Alex had to “acquire” it from the guard. He immediately shifted his biomass to make his armor and created his blade. He then jumped at the guard and sliced the guard in half so fast he thought he was undamaged. The guard then tried to walk and half of his body fell off. Alex shifted his biomass back and walked up to the body. As soon as he got the body, a tentacle emerged from Alex and absorbed the body. Immediately, Alex gained the guard’s knowledge of the code and entered it into the base keypad. I’m in, Alex thought to himself as he calmly walked into the base.
