Disclaimer: I love RE, but I've never played any of the RE games; that's a situation I intend to remedy, however. I have watched all the movies and a good chunk of the game cutscenes. I also have at least a vague grasp of what each game is about. Oh, and Wesker is (predictably) my favorite character. Onward!

It struck me how much RE and Hellsing have in common. Let me list a few of the similarities, and then you, dear reader, feel free to post some you've noticed.

1. Zombies/Ghouls/Undead


Goes without saying. RE zombies/undead usually aren't controlled by anyone, but they still transmit their zombieness via biting.

Headshots are effective for both types.

2. Mutation caused by an outside agent


In RE, a virus (G, T, t-Abyss, etc.) causes the mutation. In some forms it bestows god-like powers. Usually, though, it just horribly mutates the subject. It can be spread via injection of the pure serum, or by bite/scratch of the infected.

In Hellsing, undeath is a sort of magical/spiritual thing rather than a viral condition.

3. Powers: The Basics


A. Strength

Both the t-Virus and vampirism confer amazing strength. The subject can punch through metal/concrete/human chests.

B. Speed

Matrix-like backflips over bullets, dodges so fast they look like teleportation...

C. Endurance

The subject can take damage and hits that would decimate a normal human. I-beams dropped from a crane? No prob. 500 ft falls? Got it. Multiple gunshot wounds? Nothin'.

D. Healing

Linked to Endurance, above. The t-Virus healing powers are inferior to those that true vampirism confers, however. Usually getting one's head blown off is fatal with the t-Virus.

E. Red eyes

Which is why #5 comes in handy!

F. Mutation

In "ultimate" form, the Virus causes some nifty mutations. It's nowhere near as controllable as Alucard's Hellhounds, though. The Virus also"levels up," so to speak.

4. Strong female characters


In the RE games, you have Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield (and Alice in the movies) as the strongest. In Hellsing, Integra and Seras.

5. Sunglasses


Hellsing: Alucard wears his red shades. RE: Wesker wears his black shades. (He's always worn them, even before the need to conceal his red eyes.)

6. Evil organizations bent on world domination


It's Umbrella Corp for most of the RE stories, Millennium for Hellsing.

7. Blond villains


The Major. Wesker. The similarities kinda end there, though, aside from the desire for world domination.

8. Genre: Horror/Survival/Action


Self explanatory, no?

9. Technology used to control agents


Millennium uses chips, Umbrella uses scarabs.

10. Judas members


RE has more than its fair share! First it was Wesker, who never really was on the protags' side, then it was Jill, who was converted against her will. Hellsing of course has Walter.

11. Mad scientists


Dok in Hellsing and RE's William Birkin. They were instrumental to the development of their employers' product development.

12. Weapons


.50 cals rock, period. There's a general wealth of great weapons in both series.

13. Globalization


Umbrella and Millennium both have agents/offices around the globe. They've infiltrated everything.

14. Expendable soldiers


Yeah, every series has these! They even look alike in Hellsing and RE, though.

15. Mercenaries


You have entire game in the RE series called Mercenaries! And Hellsing has the Wild Geese.


Ok, your turn!

Side note: Next con I go to, I'm totally just wearing my clinical clothes and replacing the USF patch on my labcoat with an Umbrella Corp badge. Easiest cosplay ever.

You mentioned the mercenaries.
Ace you would be a shame to leave out Ada Wong from this conversation.
She is a bit of a wild card. It's never clear which rival umbrella organization she is working for. Lack of a proper name we are forced to call her employers "The Organization". She has been willing to work with both Leon and Wesker to obtain her goals and or survive.

Resident Evil reoccurring theme: Rocket launcher for the death blow.

Let's talk about Hunk shall we?
Nick names he has received for hes disturbing abilities and nearly unkillable nature "Mr. Death" or "Grim Reaper HUNK". Almost nothing is known about HUNK's history or even his real name. Hunk is Cold, silent, and devoid of emotion, he is a ruthless operative.

Does this not remind you of the stoic Captain?
Of course we can draw parallels of the titles of Hunk with that of Walter.

Oswell E. Spencer was the original b*****d in charge. Look to his treatment of the Trevor as proof of his inhumanity. We should mention the creation of the Wesker children.



Resident evil has a substantial amount of organizations and shadow organizations to wade through.


I am unsure how they are connected.
There is;
"The 3rd organization"
Umbrella
U.S.S. Alpha team (lead by Hunk)
S.T.A.R.S. Alpha and Beta team (Oddly enough formed by Wesker)
US-STRATCOM
Tricell inc
B.S.A.A.
U.B.C.S. (The night men)
The Monitors (Or the observers)
UT unit ( The umbrella trash sweepers)

Questions: How was Jessica different from the Wesker Children?
What form of the Progenitor virus was used on the Wesker Children?
What happened to Alex Wesker?
If Jessica was injected in 1967 with the type B when was Wesker injected? If he was born in 1960 how old was he when ithe The Prototype Virus was administered?

Ah, Ada! Yes indeed. She definitely a great fighter.

One thing about RE vs Hellsing is that RE has a lot of sort of "unaffiliated" characters. A fair share of the main characters are working for their own benefit primarily.

Oh don't even get me started.

Great comparison. Mission-oriented and loyal, that describes Captain and HUNK perfectly.

Cripes, the guy experimented on his own family! If that's not Millenniumesque, I dunno what is. He's mad with power, in search of godhood, and totally devoid of morals.

It's like a hydra. Or maybe a leach? Hah, that's fitting, a leach. The more you cut it up, the more it multiplies. It lives on in its experiments and former employees even after its official dissolution.

Gorenza
Questions: How was Jessica different from the Wesker Children?


Different genetic profile, perhaps? Or was her age a deciding factor in the virus...having different effects? The Wesker children were a long-term project, too, with careful control and monitoring in place. Jessica was more of a one-shot.

Gorenza
What form of the Progenitor virus was used on the Wesker Children?


It had to have been a modified/improved version, otherwise they'd be dog meat. And even with the new strain, it only reached its full potential on a very small percent of the subjects: Alex and Albert.

Gorenza
What happened to Alex Wesker?


I'd hoped RE6 would clear that up... But it didn't. I like the theories listed here: http://lonelysith66.deviantart.com/#/d5gya0g

Gorenza
If Jessica was injected in 1967 with the type B when was Wesker injected? If he was born in 1960 how old was he when ithe The Prototype Virus was administered?


I'm assuming he was fairly young. But it would have to be after '67, wouldn't you think? There would have to be time to alter the virus a bit to make it more effective. Unless his genetics just made him a suitable host and thus produced a different reaction?
