Alex Mercer, the protagonist of the game, wakes up on
a morgue table and finds that he is suffering from amnesia.
He soon discovers that he is endowed with various powers
granted by a mutagenic virus plaguing the surrounding city
of New York, which in turn has made him one of the most
powerful fictional figures to date in comic book and game
history, without a doubt being easily able to dispose of
'your friendly neighbourhood spider-man'. The virus gives
Alex various superhuman abilities, including the ability to
absorb the biomass, skills and memories of his fallen enemies.
This allows Alex to piece together his past via the memories
of the people connected to him that he has absorbed. As he
uncovers his background, Alex embarks on a personal quest of
vengeance over the persons responsible for his situation, and
"make them pay".
