Alex vs. Cole

Leonhart makes a good point. The Ray Sphere had to generate enough energy and force to do that to the surrounding area, and to do some of it, the energy had to pass through Cole. It is still pretty different from a physical object like Mercer's sword arm or something though.

Absorbing electricity still heals Cole as it is done. And this is in New York city. >.<

So, you care explaining to me why the ground beneath him was intact if he didn't nullify/absorb the blast at origin space?

Maybe the way the sphere opens keeps it from projecting any energy downwards. But we know it shot some outwards based on the blast area, and Cole was holding it. So some of it went through him.

You're longshooting. If it didn't project energy downwards, it wouldn't have cracked the gruond beneath him. It wouldn't have damaged his pants, and it certainly wouldn't have destroyed all area surrounding that particular circle downwards.

Things are pointing more at Cole nullifying it than him not doing so.

...Absorbing typically means avoiding damage.

And I have just spent a few hours playing Prototype...And am now confident Alex Mercer stomps.

First of all, Alex's durability.

He rigged a military base to explode, the blast destroyed the entire base, and the base itself was bigger than a city block. Alex was in the center of the blast, and was completely unmoved, and unharmed.

He was sent flying by a Hunter and falling down hundreds of feet, once again, unharmed.

This is not even counting how durable he would be with his body armor which he can summon at will.

Let's talk about raw physical strength then. He can toss cars easily, yeah, as he can helicopters, which weigh about 15 tons. He does this easily. The Muscle Mass transformation only increases this strength.

With his hammer arms transformation, he can smash tanks with absolute ease, along with about anything else.

Although really, the reason why Alex takes this in a stomp, is the first feat he does in the game. He is able to spread hundreds of tentacles which shoot out in all directions at the size of at least half a city block, which kills and absorbs anything it grabs. He does that at the beginning of the fight...Cole is dead.

Yeah.

Not one argument? 😐

I am not amused.

I don't see why I should 😛 I've already said that Alex wins ✅

K lol.

But to add on that, since I have played more.

With the Muscle-mass power, Alex hulks up, but without losing speed. His punches literally turn human beings into paste on the pavement, or blow them in half. He can also easily toss around tanks now.

Then there is the spike whip thingy. The weapon is very quikc, and has a range of like 50 or more feet, he can extend his arm like he is throwing a punch, and it shoots out and impales things, even stuffs like tanks and whatnot.

Yeah. Stuff.

cole isnt a normal human.

cole can toss veheicles and his stomps can instantly destroy even large armoured veheicles

lightening is faster, has more range then and does more damage than the whip.

From what we've seen, Cole can only summon the lightning close to him. The two cutscenes he did so in, none of the lightning strikes were far away from him. So I wouldn't say they have more range.

Toss vehicles? First of all, how? Not like it matters, considering arguing Cole>Alex physically is idiotic.

Aim-dodging. Alex is too quick for Cole to properly aim at. And said whip can destroy helicopters in one thrust. Although really, he just consumes Cole from afar.

How can you do this? toss tanks? do you mean actually lift and throw? because on PS3 the same button for that is to get inside a vehicle which means its impossible to even try and lift a vehicle like that....unless youve found a way?

Don't think the weight is any less, and do not think you could do it before.

Could be wrong though.

hm thats a shame, I had hoped youd found a way to lift operational tanks

infinte fallacy

his shockwave

slowed time powers will make alex too SLOW, btw kesslar can teleport and the conduit shockwaves are similar in speed to alex's attacks. and the later lightening can destroy mutliple armoured veheicles.

he cant consume cole, 1. cole is unnaturally durablr, 2. shockwaves will repel any tentacles, 3 cole will electrify any appendages.

3. This is Cole though.

4. 2 and 3, what?

So not a lifting feat then. Great.

This isn't Kessler vs. Alex.

1. Not proven to be durable enough to piercing damage.

2. Not likely, considering said tendrils pierce and destroy tanks easily.

3. The attack is too fast for Cole, and Cole cannot electrify the hundreds that come.

no limit fallacy and infinite fallacy are the same thing.

he beat keslar remember

1. there is no proof either way. to assume that he isnt is as bad as assuming that he is. only the later has reasoning

2. and? many attacks that cole lives through destroy armoured veheicles with ease

3. you forgot the part where it was too slow for cole due to his reaction powers and his lightening storm WILL electrify them all.

Lightning storm? I've played my fair share of InFamous. What ability are you thinking of?

Cole can't slow time, for the record.

Well you must be forgetting about the ground spike attack. 20+ spikes shoot up from the ground, impaling everything and everybody in the area. No way Cole can shockwave something come from beneath him so fast that as soon as it emerges from the ground, it's practically 30 feet up.
