Yes, after all he frequently senses the amount of electricity around him and if there's not any he feels weakened and thirsty. Add in to the fact that he senses anomalies and enemies the moment they start having hostile intent, the fact that he keeps tracks of the entire military on the comics (despite some fleeing and running away) and the fact that he could just spam it anyway. The same ability that allows him to constantly sense enemies around him even when they're on a different height. Kinda like waypointing. Sides. The first thing Cole would do once Alex is 'dead'? Well by your logic he'll use radar pulse to get some electricity, only to find out Alex's brain waves are not dead yet.
Dude.... That's such a long charge time. Is Cole gonna sit there waiting for a couple of seconds when he spams lightning?
Fair point, but from the looks of that ability it's more effective against masses of people. Against a single guy who keeps knocking Alex away or stunning him? Not helpful. And not getting your cosplay comparison.
Fair enough, my bad on that. But see there's an issue between us. Even without gameplay mechanics that I sometimes use, Cole still beats Alex. It doesn't change much. And again, homing lightning? Beats flesh shield and attacks. Creating the Shatter Blade would need some interaction with sub-atomic particles probably cutting off the flow of electrons and neutrons to try and recreate an Absolute Zero Effect. Not saying Cole can reach that temperature but he needs energy to freeze the moisture of the air, and then adds in a shockwave. Now you're being silly, it's a simple 1 + 1. Creating something + Creating something = More Energy required. Well Cole still has homing lightning that he uses in cutscenes and comic books/comic book cutscenes
Orrrrr. Alex needs time to prepare them because I sure don't remember Greene spawning Pustules in seconds. Not advisable to take some time making monster makers when it takes valuable moments while Cole is hammering at you with lightning. Then why? Why was there only one? Or maybe the logical thing is, she can only make one Supreme Hunter. All the other stronger Hunters? Pitiful in comparison, still strong but incomparable to the Supreme Hunter. So basically what does it mean? It takes a damn long time and a large amount of biomass to be created. Alex hasn't shown the capacity to make Supreme Hunters by vomitting and not like Cole can't just shoot them both with lightning. I mean, a guy who shapeshifts and manipulaties the virus vomitting some body-esque thing? You think Cole's too dumb to not open fire? Not to mention I have no idea with why you're agreeing with me on Greene only being able to make one.... So why wasn't the army tossing its entirety against you?... He didn't and if it's to say he's aiming to lose, that's daaaamn wrong considering nothing in his web of intrigue showed he wanted to lose. He isn't holding back, he didn't make his Evolved allies watch. He consumed them and fought seriously. Maybe it's not the point and it's more likely that Alex is a one dimensional flat dumb villain in the second game. How about that? I can also argue that the military is fighting them but that doesn't help your case since that would be more likely for him to create more pustules, but yet he didn't. So what does that mean? He can't make one within seconds.
It doesn't change the fact that you're pulling powers from what could be considered scaling abuse or abilities he never shown to use mid combat but I'll let you keep going with that.
Early on the Military wasn't fully unleashed so it's arguable that that's why the Hunters was so successfuly early till they brought out the big guns. And those armies aren't exactly something Alex tore down with ease. You can argue that Alex is on that level now but it doesn't change the fact that it took a long time before those buildings started showing up, meaning it took days for them to gather biomass to that level. Supreme Hunter is powerful but it's also a rarity. I checked around and found out it's the same cancerous parasite that latched onto Alex that he jammed into Elizabeth. So it was something that they can't create on their own. What does that mean? Supreme Hunter isn't even fully part of the Infected Army. Greene is a whole nother level so of course she's strong. After all I'm referring to her infected army. Otherwise why would the military army actually be surviving against them? Sure they used a nuke but that's because of Alex and the need to end the infection immediately.
There are no such thing as fully potential supreme hunters in the first game. None. It's only one. And it was a rarity made by luck and biomass from both Alex and Greene on their states. A viruses that turned into a cancer that became a monster. The best you're going for is Leader Hunters but even they die after enough tanks. Nope. The conduit armada is also the one stomping the military. Is that why Blackwatch tried to get her out of underground to fully fight her? Of course it's questionable on whether they would've won that or not without your help, likely not since the mission was focusing on defending Blackwatch. Anyway again, the Supreme Hunter was a failed attempt to implant the virus that crippled Alex. It wasn't a creation, it was a random monster created by the parasite.
That's assuming Alex doesn't have to pull a Goku and charge up like a constipated fighter. Funny thing that happens to people who charge up attacks?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1xSs3WRwEc They get interrupted. Fast.
Oh that's actually smart. Except for one thing.... Whitelight pretty much guarantees everyone is going to become Evolved.... Yeah. And again, that's freaking prep time.
Nah I like the scenario of lightning being faster than someone needing to chargeup for seconds before relasing gas. Or lightning frying Alex before he can do something he can't do in seconds
Not at all. Adrenaline Surge is still an ability that could work in tandem with having limited power and durability. So not really conflicting. Or you know the reason why he was still alive at that point was because of him using adrenaline surge, and then James kills him once the effect runs out. That's why he was nearly dead? After all you become temporarily invulnerable for a short amount of time. A video really? I don't recall that. Why don't you me that again? If anything you're the stubborn one you know : p Then again we both are for getting this far. Sigh. Regardless of whether you say he did or did not survived with Adrenaline Surge, the thing is he also killed the Supreme Hunter and absorbed its biomass. After all it did claim that it was going to survive the nuke and it took the military and Alex to take it down. Add in almost escape, underwater nuke, and adrenaline surge.... So really there are a lot of factors that helped Alex survive.
Cole stomps an organization 100 years ahead of current age. Check.
Cole stomps a giant man that was a ripoff of the Supreme Hunter with electric drain that stomps the military. Check.
Cole beats conduit factions that can stomp militaryes. Check.
Cole beats a giant monster initially and near the end of the game. Check.
It clears out dood. Cole has a good track record of how what enemies he beats. It isn't an outlier, it wasn't a fluke because he was empowered, it was Cole. And again, the nuke only knocked out the Beast. Cole 'tore' through the body. Only other thing that succeeded was Nix sacrificing herself to destroy it. Nix only protected the RFI to make sure nothing happens to it because the RFI is not as durable as Cole. Ever thought that? The Beast was distracted by Cole while Nix protects the RFI while keeping it close once it charges up. But instead of using it right away, Cole stomped the Beast before using it. That's what happened.
And guess what? It doesn't mean Alex can't tank the storm he's gonna use either.
Have fun dodging multiple homing lightning and rockets Alex.
Won't tase him? A single baton whack that's a much lower output than Cole's sends him spasming for a good few moments. And that's a single attack. Imagine a concentrated barrage of lightning tearing you at a cellular level, preventing you from Regenerationn. You still haven't found a way to counter the Alex gets stunned part so I'll just say this.

If you're going to keep making things up and arguing abilities that take a long time to charge up while neglecting to argue against some of my points such as Alex being capable of dodging lightning, it's the end for you. It's over man. Alex is not MHS. He can't avoid being stunned. He can't regen out of this one nor trick Cole or pull off his trump card. It's done.
