Alex vs. Cole

Hmm, I should start reading BT's posts.

What did he mean though? Just taken a hit or actually absorbed the electricity from their body?

You obviously haven't seen his Devastator attacks, those whips are fast, man, uber fast.

Yeah, I really haven't. I quit playing it after I realized it was just like Hulk: UD.

Glad I rented it.

That would depend on what version of Cole we're talking about. If at his prime, I'm very certain Alex could never hit Cole. Cole as you play him beginning to end could have some problems.

The strongest attack by Cole splits trucks in half, for what it's worth. His shockwave can pack a punch around the force level of 6-10 ton. I'll add that Cole has slowmotion vision, much like the one used in Master Chief debates (Only this one makes jetplanes appear flying at a crawl).

Apparently Alex was hit by a nuke and survived.

At this point I would wager Cole's attacks can do nothing to kill Alex.

I'm sure Cole is chanceless. Just putting it out there.

If what Nemebro says is correct then yes Cole is chanceless, atleast in terms of defeating Alex. Perhaps he can draw a stalemate...

Cole at his prime can attack the mind rather than the body though.

Alex is faster, stronger, smarter, and more badass than Cole.

Telepathy???

You never get that particular ability when you play as Cole, but Cole at his prime has some quite fine powers. Timetravel and telepathy would be two worth mentioning.

The particular ability that attacks the mind is not likely to hit Alex though, unless he decide to come up close and stay there. It's a slow projectile, so Cole would need him up close to hit him. So it's not purely mental, but the projected attack has to hit the target in order to injure it mentally.

He's also teleported short distances and moved very fast for about that same distance.

Indeed. To beat his reaction time at that point you need to be faster than lightning.

Are you talking about that Kessler guy?

For obvious reasons, he should not be considered Cole from a vs. thread perspective.

Very true. But he can't really be denied as Cole at his prime.

Actually he can, although he is primarily whatr Cole could become, Cole himself hasn't reached that level, and he might not ever reach that level. At this moment in time, Cole in his Prime would more than likely be Cole with all in game powers maxed out.

Cole will undoubtedly go beyond the level that Kessler is at. Since Cole received his powers from the Ray Sphere much earlier than Kessler did, and began training himself in their use from day one.

Whereas Kessler received powers and ignored them, refused to fight until it was too late to save his world.

Yeah. By the time Cole is the age of Kessler, Cole will have some insane levels of power. Time travel and telepathy can possibly be frowned at.

But to give an on-topic opinion: Cole don't have power to compare with a nuclear blast, so he can't kill Alex.

Did Cole have any more exotic powers? Most of what I saw in the demo was zapping people with electricity, which is a completely different type of attack than an explosion.
