inFAMOUS & [PROTOTYPE] My two main favorite games back in the day next to Saints Row :D

[@localdude2979]

Hell fucking yeah man, also loved Saints Row 3&4 But prototype and infamous are in my number one spot of greatness, I wish the studios could make a sequel to each tittle.. and since Xbox and Sony have made a recent "alliance" the idea of a game made by Devs of proyotype and infamous would be the greatest super hero game in history, specially if they make it multi plataform since they announced an "alliance"

Cole is more of a superhuman warrior while Mercer is a killing machine with godlike abilities. While Cole is more likable, on account of not being a sociopath, Mercer is clearly more powerful in terms of strength and the variety of his abilities.

[@naif8493]

darklord884 Controlling lightning and weather is more “godlike” than shaping your arms to blades

[@darklord884]

@@naif8493 I was talking more in terms of sheer power levels. Sure, Cole can use lightning to destroy one area/group of enemies, but Mercer can essentially obliterate everyone in a much larger area around himself. It's not a question of 'who's cooler' but rather the scale. Cole can be taken down by a group of regular armed gunmenwith ease if they can outflank, corner and focus-fire on him. Mercer meanwhile can take care of a small army in minutes and even if he's overwhelmed, he has options to attack, defend or flee. Not to mention that in comparison, their fighting styles' differences also give Cole disadvantages, as his shock weapons aren't quite enough to destroy Mercer and his hand-to-hand prowess isn't enough to contend with Mercer up close. (Ironic that Cole can control lightning and yet Mercer is codenamed Z.E.U.S.) Don't get me wrong, I love Cole as a character and superhero, much more than I like Mercer (especially after the rubbish treatment Alex got in Prototype 2), but the comparison stands.

Been waiting for this match up for years!!!

[@johnnyblack3454]

I agree with the verdict, if we only look at the first games of the respective series and without looking at comics or sequels for extra information (although the prototype comics don't give Mercer much). Cole should still be much faster than Mercer, since he was able to react and move out of the way from Kessler's lightning. Although you could say it was mostly a reactionary feat, Cole could still fight Kessler who could also dodge his lightning straight up could move out of the way of Cole's lightning bolts. But Mercer still has directly superior defensive feats, surviving multiple gas tankers exploding on him with zero damage earlier in the game, a feat which low balling it is still more directly impressive than anything Cole has survived, minus... The Raysphere Blast. The Raysphere blast is definitely the biggest issue with this debate, if you believe it directly compares to Cole's durability at the beginning of the game, then he'd be tougher than anything Mercer has ever contended with even in Prototype 2. If not, then Cole doesn't have much. However, Cole at the end of a good karma playthrough does destroy the raysphere, which can survive its own blast, while it was in a protective container. So, Cole is potentially faster than Mercer and can blast him into pieces. Although even then, Mercer has shown the ability to harm beings who are immune to thermobaric missiles, such as Elizabeth Green. So, with his armor modes on, he could potentially escape some of Cole's stronger attacks without too much damage. Infamous 2 cole is even worse, since he's dodged light speed attacks and can gravely harm the beast who was unaffected by nuclear bombs. Although, you can make the Supreme Hunter "I could even withstand this" argument, where Alex in prototype 2 probably gained so much strength as to be able to withstand the nuclear bomb that turned him to paste in prototype 1, since the Supreme Hunter was pretty assured of himself that if he absorbed mercer, he could withstand the nuke. Alex never absorbed the Supreme Hunter, but it's very likely that even at the beginning of Prototype 2 (most definitely at the end) Alex would've been equal to or likely have surpassed this Supreme Hunter-Mercer fusion. However, it really does boil down to the Blacklight Virus just being something Cole has never EVER faced something quite like it before. Regardless of which versions you use, the Blacklight virus is just too much. It effectively makes Mercer immortal and Cole has never shown immunity to anything as potent as the Blacklight virus. Even with the stronger, more evil versions of Cole, who would just speed blitz and blast Mercer to pieces, Mercer would survive if even a tiny bit of himself existed. In a pure battle, ignoring Mercer using the blacklight Virus to infect Cole, it really does come down to Cole's electricity reserves for all of his move's vs Mercer's biomass reserves for regeneration. It depends on which one you think will last longer, especially if it's a fight in a city. Cole can definitely blast Mercer into pieces, but Mercer can regenerate from basically anything Cole can throw at him. I feel like potentially a more "Even" fight is prototype 2 Mercer vs Infamous 1 Cole, who you can make more arguments of for him being able to take more of Cole's attacks without being blasted to bits and who is also faster, thus reducing the pretty big speed gap between them.

[@chaddorvil2090]

There are two things we forget. Cole’s powers evolve to eventually morph into cyrokinesis or napalm manipulation or the beast power. And the beast is shown to be able to drain the powers of others, and even if this was normal cole, cole still woul have an advantage, as infamous 2, after absorbing power from the RFI, cole gained unlimited energy seeing as how he used his most powerful attacks on the beast without needing to recharge. Also, the radar pulse detects bio-electricity, and is shown to be more powerful in 2, and as good as Alex’s shapeshifting powers are, there’s not exactly showing how he’d change his bio-electrical signature.

[@3TopicsReviewer]

This is not Infamous 2 Cole. This is Infamous 1 Cole only. I even state that if Alex were to take on Infamous 2 Cole there is a good chance Cole could pull off the win.

[@Dwayne_19K]

I mean Alex gets a single hand on his it’s automatically over I love Cole but this is like static shock vs Venom carnage hybrid on steroids

But its like the static shock is physically weak so he runs and shoots his electric while his opponent is far away baway and doesn't fight like man while venom does close combat that could do some serious damage to his body when venom goes blow after blow and it will kill static. Now with alex mercer cole its the same thing. Alex punche force could blow off coles head off of his body

[@kylemc2290]

I have never played prototype and would prefer cole to win, but seeing as how this is infamous 1 Cole without his most powerful Lightning abilities nor his ice abilities, I'm inclined to believe that Alex would win...at this point in time.

[@calebstephan2083]

There's no way in hell Cole is beating mercer I've played all prototype games as well as all infamous games and mercer is like a godlike killing machine, mercer can be chopped into bits and still regenerate. The only way to defeat mercer is to have the same abilities as him as seen in prototype 2.

[@eem2wavy133]

@3TopicsReviewer not really. Best case scenario for beast Cole is that it ends in a draw, as neither have the means to kill each other. Due to Coles atomic regeneration and Alex's ability to resurrect himself so long as Blacklight is still around. Worst case scenario for beast Cole is that the virus infects him and makes him mind controlled. And even atomic regeneration wouldn't do anything about it due to it being his own cells essentially being the ones attacking and controlling him.

@@darrylisaac9400 there is more to it than just that, also you are assuming that the electricity they shoot is as fast as lightning, but mostly I say this because they have limited power, and Mercer is practically immortal, so really Alex would just have to power through coles attacks until he’s out of power, at which point he has to stop to absorb more and Alex can grab him, which as soon as Alex gets his hands on anybody, they are as good as dead.

[@drethom087]

Either that or using biomass to grab/stick to the wall. Another thing is that in prototype 2 we see multiple examples of infected being restrained by electricity. But with the parameters of the video, I have to agree. Although the disguise scenario is a bit lame in my eyes. Traditionally vs battles are done head to head, not if one hid and surprised the other, at least not to start. By that logic someone who Cole doesnt know could just shoot him when he walks up to them.

[@3TopicsReviewer]

If it was Infamous 1 Cole then yes I do believe Delsin would win easily.

[@localdude2979]

I forgot to comment my veredict. Alex outcasses Cole in the strenght department and all it takes from him would be a charged well placed hit with any of his offensive powers AKA Claws, Blade or Hammerfist, with Blade being his most powerful power in [Protptype1] and [P2] cause is shown that he can pierce James Heller's Shield that is completely Rocket and Missile proof. Cole greatest destructible feat was one shooting The Beast on inF2 ... inF2, not infamous 1. With all his feats from inF1 Cole would have a hard time figthing Alex and eventually getting himself killed, Alex might be really vulnarable to electricity and in a post from one of the devs he states that "Alex's physiology didnt dealt well with it" in the fight against Cross and his Baton (Cattle Prod/Stun baton) [Citation needed cause I saw it on a comic vine post: static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11119/111191852/5053141-4518296935-mJBqF.png and it could be completely fake as the poster never stated or gave us the name of this so called Dev of Prototype1] Besides your logic makes complete sense, and that electricity vulnerability would make Cole's only way to kill Alex while Alex has many more. Alex takes the absolute win. Prototype vs inFamous is my all time fave and best VS debate out there.

[@KirbyJet14]

I'd take Cole

[@tmkellison4016]

Wouldn't Cole be able to either a activate karmic overload and then unleash a lighting strike on Mercer for the duration of karmic overload and then the rest of his energy. He could also run up and stab Mercer with gigawatt blades

[@skullyskaric7779]

i might go for cole becuase yea..you can't consume a conduit who was way too powerful with this such power if consuming cole will kill mercer easily with ashes (also anyone disagree and said mercer can survive anything yea it's like he can survivie a nuke or anything so idgaf it's my choice my vote atleast prototype is the not first game i played)

[@patrickford9652]

The damage with electricity was at best a tickle. It stunned n tossed him back but not much damage. The hellfire tank rounds seemed to affect the og hives new Mercer hives mite be tougher. Fire or massive explosive and heat seem to do more damage .

Do you think Delsin Rowe would stand any chance against Alex Mercer 3TopicsReviewer? Also ever thought about how similar Delsins outfit is to Alexs? Undershirt, hoodie, Jacket, except Alex wears leather and Delsin prefers denim. Even jeans. Suckerpunch bit his style lol.

@@thegoldenpro0142 I mean Cole is beyond Hypersonic, has over 20 tons worth of superhuman strength, more if you include his EMF powers, can destroy the beast with his lightning, and remember the beast was barely phased by a nuke, Alex didn't do so well against a nuke if you remember PT1, and he nosold attacks from the beast which if you remember can decimate cities with no effort, Alex might be a bioweapon but Cole is a force of nature that can't be stopped

[@mc_rysiek5277]

Mercer shield and armor are still composed of biomass. They wouldn't provide any additional resistance against electricity, unless you have feats to back this statement up. Durability and healing factor go to Mercer, fair enough, but speed and strength? No. - Cole's ability to keep up with Kessler puts him way above Mercer's league speedwise. The best you can argue is that Mercer has superior running speed, but that means jack shit considering Cole's reaction speed. And that's without even taking into account Cole's Precision Mode. - Cole was able to physically overpower Kessler, the guy who can create an earthquake six city block in radius with a punch to the ground. That trumps any strength feat Mercer has ever performed. Assuming Mercer isn't dropped to the ground by couple of Cole's basic blasts and he somehow manages to close the distance, he still gets stomped. Mercer isn't tagging someone who can react to lightning, and trying to clash his claws/sword with Cole's Gigawat Blades would be equivalent to trying to clash with a pair of lightsabers. After that, Cole vaporizes Mercer with continues stream of electricity. So Mercer is allowed to fight smart, but Cole is handed the idiot ball? Assuming Mercer *somehow* manages to disengage, leave Cole's field of vision and shapeshift (which is not gonna happen anyway beceuse of Cole's Precision Mode and the speed of his blasts), what's stopping Cole from climbing on top of the nearest building and wait for Mercer to show up? It's safe to assume that when he sees a random civilian climbing on a roof, Cole will be smart enough to use his Radar Pulse.

[@localdude2979]

Best Match Up ever. Balanced and great. Alex Outmaches Cole in Strenght and Regeneration. Not counting Comic feats Alex would easily win. But with comic feats on he would still win but by close as Cole fights a tentacle monster like Alex and shows some pretty sick feats of durability. Still Alex wins. Cole's energy supply is not low. and it actually last long before actually running out. in comics he never runs out of energy at fsst speeds like in the game. what could comfirm that this was exagerated thanks to the game mechanics of infamous1.

non-Game limitations though that Conduits can spray much of their chosen matter-manipulations outwards longer than what Cole, Delsin, and Abigail are limited to for gameplay balancing purposes. so....I do not know about you. [simply shrugged]

[@arche6999]

While I do think Mercer takes that fight against Good Cole even Empowered by the RFI 7/10. And then we have Beast Cole from the evil alternative ending, see Beast Cole? Yeah? That guy solos the Prototype verse with his eyes closed The Beast easily managed to tank 52 kiloton nuke and just casually regenerated from it a minute later without a scratch, meanwhile Alex tanked a much weaker bomb but ended up almost dead, he would've died if not for his luck. The Beast easily busts cities with a single swipe of his hand, something Alex would never do even with the whole prototype verse absorbed. The Beast is capable of breaking down people on an atomic level with his attacks which are thousands of times stronger than nukes. Alex would not regenerate from being reduced to atoms. The Beast is also capable of creating a Black hole-like vortex that also could break thinks down on a molecular level, need I say more? The Beast blinks the Prototype verse.

[@forpiepress1964]

Most likely the question mark refers to the fact that Alex has technically been dead since penn station and what we play in p1 is the Blacklight virus that consumed Alex’s dead body and took his form. If that’s the case then it doesn’t matter what heller did as long as the Blacklight virus exists so does Mercer. Just my own logic
