| rdfs:comment | - Blacklight Virus is the main virus in video game, Prototype. It is created by Alex Mercer.
- The Blacklight Virus originates from Hope, Idaho as Redlight. A group of soldiers have captured Elizabeth Greene, a survivor and carrier of it. This leads to a birth of biochemical company known as Gentek, and Alex Mercer is employed in weaponizing the virus. He created this already deadly virus into 10x deadlier and named it Blacklight. However, despite this, he is just a liability to Blackwatch, a secret military organization who owns Gentek. As a result, Alex runs his own investigation to learn that scientists with the knowledge of the virus are getting executed by Blackwatch.
- After infection, the virus "plugs in" and activates the 'junk' DNA in its victim, resulting in several biological changes that create (and recreate) sentience within the infected creature's cellular makeup. It acts by affecting the protein encoding regions of the promoter introns in each cell. As a retrovirus, it contains both RNA and the reverse transcriptase enzyme, allowing it to insert its own genetic codes into the host's cells. It enters, re-purposes and changes the cell, replicating previously dormant non-coding segments of the organism's DNA.

However, despite this, he is just a liability to Blackwatch, a secret military organization who owns Gentek. As a result, Alex runs his own investigation to learn that scientists with the knowledge of the virus are getting executed by Blackwatch. Knowing he is targeted, Alex took off with the sample of Blacklight as "insurance" at Penn Station. However, Blackwatch also knows where he is headed and surround him, ordering him to drop the vial. Instead, Alex drops the vial to the ground, releasing the virus as he is gunned down to death by them.
- Blacklight Virus is the main virus in video game, Prototype. It is created by Alex Mercer.
- After infection, the virus "plugs in" and activates the 'junk' DNA in its victim, resulting in several biological changes that create (and recreate) sentience within the infected creature's cellular makeup.

As a retrovirus, it contains both RNA and the reverse transcriptase enzyme, allowing it to insert its own genetic codes into the host's cells. It enters, re-purposes and changes the cell, replicating previously dormant non-coding segments of the organism's DNA. More often than not, these changes are too drastic and 99.99% of all infected organisms die from massive organ failure and cell saturation. However, few variants have yielded other beneficial results, endowing the infected organisms with incredible superhuman genetic prowess that greatly increase their natural abilities to levels far exceeding human capability; these variants include DX-1120 and DX-1118 C.
