That's right Prototype, I'm looking at you for this one.

Why do gaming protagonists have to be such ungreatful swines? I mean really. If you woke up, sans a few memories here and there but fully loaded with over powered abilities.
Would you care that much that you want revenge?
I don't understand the mentality behind it all, only insofar as "I was a human guineapig" but lets face it, that bought of amnesia may have killed the memory of you signing your life away to science.

Lets look at Wolverine shall we, "Oh no what have you done to me!? I'm coming to kill you!".
Yet they just made him invincible, Sure he ran away and they kind of wanted him back but come the hell on.
Invincible is invicible.
If we turn our attention, away from games to something like a TV show, ala Heroes.
Claire Bennet with her cries of.
"I'm a freak I just want a normal life"
Yet there she is, always jumping off buildings and making her little trick known, she was hardly a freak.
A human band aid yes, freak no and nobody would ever notice it unless it was flaunted. It's not like she emitted flames when she passed gas or something.

So semi rant over and so question to you Escapee's, would you be off seeking revenge because someone did something too you that you can't remember why, or would you be off doing your own thing?

Personally, I'd be out shopping looking for a decent thankyou card and bunch of flowers if someone gave me super powers.

If someone gave me super powers I'd probably hug them. Unless my superpower was a killer hug or something.

Maybe marry their daughter or them if they're female.

I'd try to find out if what happened to me was my wish.
If it was against my wish, I'd take revenge, yeah.
Just because it's advantageous doesn't mean they are free to force this on me.
I wouldn't go on an uninformed killing spree, though.

If I had Alex's powers, I'd hunt down the guy who did it to me and hug the hell out of him. As awesome as Alex is he really needs to let things go. You have unbelievably awesome powers! Just roll with it.

Claire is a retard. "I just want to have a normal life!", well you fucking can, you're powers are not negative in any way, you are fucking invincible and hot to boot.

If someone prototyped me, (yeah I know the twists), I'd be really happy, because it would make doing things much more fun than just walking about mundanly.

I would love superpowers, freakish or not. I've always wanted something unexpected to happen...like an alien or zombie invasion. I just don't want my life to be normal. The cycle of be born, live normal life, die is very depressing.

I would want to find who did it to me, if only to figure out exactly what they did. Sure, I'm invincible, but what else is new. Maybe I have other neat powers I didn't know about. Or some disease or kill-switch that I would want to know about immediately.

And what is wrong with you Max? You keep changing your avatar and it is confusing me.

He was born with the healing factor. All that was given to him was his nice, new, shiny skeleton.

I still don't own prototype, so no spoilers.

However, how the hell can you be angry because someone made you into Mr"LolIhitlikeatruck".
Sure, they can't make a game about you searching so you could hug them (that would be a hilarious alternative prototype ending).
They can surely change the tired, cliche "revenge" story now though, can't they?

Go for the dowry too!
Wealth and super powers, genius.

Well, in all fairness, Mercer was a lot more pissed that everyone was trying to kill him and was just trying to figure out what was going on. By the time he started getting a grip on things, there was the whole infestation and military lockdown so the whole thing got out of hand pretty fast.
Wolverine was more pissed about his dead girlfriend and the whole "kill him" thing than anything else.

Heroes is just a bad show so it doesn't count... ;)

Well, normality is still better than being eaten by the walking dead, or enslaved by an alien race. Besides if the Zombies invade that means no new games. :(

I am aware of this, but that skeleton made him ten times more durable. If he was just a regular dude rockin' average chitin he'd be less useful most likely.

I humbly disagree...about the better part. Yes, no new games is a sad thing.

As unrealistic as the revenge thing is, I think it still makes for good stories.

I'm making a videogame where you try and find the person to hug them,
just to prove you wrong.

I'm not sure about this one. On the one hand, superpowers would be awesome. Then again, they are a huge responsibility (cough, spiderman line, cough) and would probably make my life much more difficult. I guess if I were kidnapped and then experimented on, yeah, I'd probably want some sort of revenge. That, or a cake with "I'm Sorry" written on it.

This, a thousand times.
Except Claire would have to go back to being brunette, blonde is no room for promotion in my eyes.

Seconded. That's all I'm saying.

"Going back to being brunette?" She was always blonde.

I'd rape anybody that gave me superpowers without my consent...

Okay, okay...bad joke.

But, for real, that's a trend to heighten teh dramaz, and sad thing is that the plotters of stories somehow don't seem to realize that it has run its course already, and audiences have already moved past it.

That's one of the reasons why I stopped caring about heroes. Yes.

Claire Bennet, go screw yourself...no, literally, go do it. Screw yourself!
