Jake Muller and his age... (Possible plot hole?)

[Spera01]

Hm, possibly then? Perhaps News Bot could help with that information. This is the first time I've heard of that however, so perhaps I just missed that post or something.

I swear someone posted info from Capcom site saying his entire Merc squad/platoon/whatever were exposed in order to turn them into J'avo soldiers.

Didn't it say somewhere exposure to the C-Virus triggered his powers.

Did it? I actually haven't seen or heard that at all. Perhaps I missed it though. Could be yet another explanation though I guess.

However, from the Captivate trailer, it seems like Jake has absolutely no idea who Wesker is. Going by his "You lost me" line when Ada (if it is Ada anyway) mentions him. Maybe there's just more to the game than we've seen so far. Maybe Ada injects him with something at the point and that's when he actually begins to fight hand to hand.

Jakes just a 25 year old test tube Baby Wesker made out of boredom. we'll just leave it at that.

I don't think Jake's abilities come from the virus Wesker injected into himself, but instead the potential that comes from the blood of the Wesker children.

That'd make sense I guess but weren't the Wesker children just a group of children with superior traits (IQ, etc) rounded up to be compatible with the virus? I don't see this necessarily giving Jake the power to take on B.O.W.s in a fist fight.

Actually, as his name says, he was born from a unknown woman not presented after the series started.
Maybe he's the only one who has suitable blood for some virus created by Wesker, like the Uroboros.

I think that odds are he's not Wesker's "son" in the way that Albert squirted his seed into a woman and she gave birth nine months later. It's probably more complicated than that somehow.

So, does that make him Alex's nephew...technically?

Alright, so I was discussing RE6 earlier with a friend of mine. One of the topics that was eventually brought up was Jake being Wesker's son. Now we were joking about who the hell he knocked up and how he probably had some sort of one night stand then said something along the lines of "Alright, gotta kill Chris and saturate the world!" and left. Anywho, we eventually stumbled upon the subject of when Wesker could have possibly gotten together with someone. We figured well, if Jake apparently has this "special blood" and is able to take on B.O.W.s in a fist fight, it must have been after Wesker injected himself with the virus. Alright, we thought, makes sense... But, wait, it doesn't. Lets say it happened sometime after the mansion incident. Lets just say he got together with some chick sometime in between the years of 1998 and 2000. Whoever Wesker got together with would have probably had Jake around this time. Now RE6 takes place in the year of 2013. This would make Jake's age be somewhere between 13 and 15. As we can see however, Jake looks much older than that. I'd say AT LEAST early to late twenties. Does anyone else find this strange?

Maybe Wesker grew Jake in a tube with accelerated growth or something? Something just doesn't seem to add up to me. As far as I know, Wesker didn't have any sort of virus in him before the mansion incident, did he?

Anyway, just thought I'd post this, figured it make for quite an interesting discussion.
