Line 109:
Tendril Barrage Devastator looks really like the Giga Drill Maximum. The Whipfist's grabbing action is reminiscent of that time Simon and Yoko took Gurren Lagann <s>webslinging</s> drillslinging along flying Ganmen. Gurren Lagann even gains its flight pack by assimilating another Ganmen, for goodness' sake. His is the Devastator that will pierce the heavens?

Line 167:
*** Also, I can't think of many better ways to fake someone's death than having it seem like they've been completely devoured by Alex Mercer... No need for a body, after all.
* [[All There in the Manual|According to the section]] of [[Strategy Guide|the official strategy guide]] that includes [[Word of God|commentary by the creators]], {{spoiler|Karen}} is dead:
{{quote| '''{{spoiler|Parker's}} Character Bio:''' ''{{spoiler|Parker uses Alex's memories of her and his fragile emotional state to keep him in check, something which becomes more and more difficult to achieve as time goes on. Parker is interested only in saving herself, and understands Alex's odd predicament fully; she knows, for instance, that "Alex" is dead, and that the virus has replaced him. As such, she is both amazed and repulsed by the creature she is forced to work with. Eventually, that fear will cost her life}}.''}}
* I'm doubtful of how canonical the strategy guide could be considered.
** Honestly, so am I; but it's the 'bonus' section where the Dev team, rather than the writers of the strategy guide, talk about the characters, their roles, and their development (along with some ''really badass art'') as well as their profiling. So I'm a little more inclined to believe it. Trust me, had the bit about {{spoiler|Karen}} just been thrown in the guide somewhere, I wouldn't have bothered to post it. *fistshake* [[That Liar Lies|I've been lied to before]].
Line 183:
* ...Er, I think that might depend on the person. Most people, myself included, would probably scream and run. Even if I ''did'' figure out that Alex was only ''specifically'' after the Infected and the people crazy enough to open fire on him, I don't think I could see him as anything other than just another monster. I mean, I don't ''know'' anything about the guy. If he grabbed me out of the way of a tank, or struck up a conversation with me, and ''then'' went off and starting killing Infected, then maybe I wouldn't be so concerned about him personally. And yet I'd still run upon seeing him, because where Alex goes, explosions, gunfire, and death are sure to follow.
* Actually, come to think of it, in the comics, it's explicitly stated that some people ''do'' think Alex Mercer is ripping up Hives and beating the crap out of the Infected, so... hey, he might not have ''too'' bad a rep after this. Not quite [[Zero-Percent Approval Rating]], anyway.
{{quote| '''Radio VO:''' ''Social messaging website have provided the best coverage from inside the city; there are reports of '''Alex Mercer''' ripping apart the Infected. Many feel he may be the key to combating the effects of the virus. Others insist he's somehow responsible for the outbreak.''}}
* God bless you, [[Facebook]]/[[YouTube]] addicts. May your vigilance never falter, even in the face of a [[Zombie Apocalypse]].
