If Alex Mercer of [Prototype] were to fight Cole MacGrath of inFamous, Alex Mercer would win.

I would like to begin by thanking my opponent for taking this debate and the readers for their time. REBUTTAL NOTE: Due to the wording of my opponent's arguments, I will assume he is arguing for "Evil Cole". If that is not what he is arguing, then I would like him to state the specific "alignment" of the Cole he is arguing for in his next arguments or in the comment section. 1) My opponent's first argument is that he likes Infamous more than Prototype, and thus Cole would "tear Alex up". This argument is invalid because my opponent's videogame preferences have no effect on this conflict. 2) My opponent's second argument is that, because Cole gets power and energy from electrical currents, he can outlast Alex. It can be inferred from this that my opponents is trying to argue that Cole would outlast Alex due to the vast amount of electricity available to Cole in NYC. However, this argument is also invalid, as Alex has the entire human and animal population of NYC as his own power source, thus canceling out Cole's advantage. Also, Cole must be within roughly a yard of a source of electricity to recharge with it and must remain stationary for the duration of the "charging"; Alex could take this time to throw a nearby object, such as a car, at Cole. He could also rush at Cole, and due to Alex's extreme speed, Cole would be unable to charge for more than a moment or two at a time at best without Alex slashing him in half with the Blade (http://prototype.wikia.com...) or impaling him with Whipfist (which has a maximum range of roughly 6 yards) and consuming him. 3) My opponent's third argument is that Cole would defeat Alex because Alex must get close to Cole to kill him; however, this argument is untrue, as Alex could throw an object at Cole or attack him with Whipfist or a handgun stolen from one of the numerous police officers in NYC. Also, Alex is capable of great speed both in midair and on the ground, allowing him to dodge the imprecise, large-scale, group-oriented attacks of Evil Cole (source: http://infamous.wikia.com... ). Lastly, the fact that Cole can slide on railroad tracks and power lines is, if anything, an advantage to Alex, as moving along a linear path allows Alex to better aim his attacks at Cole since Alex can observe where Cole will be in advance from the direction of the power line/railroad track. I would now like to move on to my own arguments. 3: My third argument is that Alex need only bring Cole into contact with water to stun or injure him, allowing Alex to close the distance between him and Cole and "whipfist" Cole, consuming him. To bring Cole into contact with water, Alex could smash a fire hydrant that Cole is near with a thrown object, possibly while Cole is recharging. When Cole comes into contact with water, a "massive amount of energy will be released into it, much like short-circuiting. This release is of such high-voltage that even Cole himself is injured by the discharge." (source: http://infamous.wikia.com... ) If Cole were to be stunned by contact with water, Alex could easily tear a piece of pavement from the ground and hit Cole with it, then consume him through either closing the distance between them or Whipfist use. 4: My fourth argument is that Cole cannot defend himself against Alex' more powerful attacks, while Alex can evade Cole's. Cole lacks enhanced speed, and his only defensive measures are limited regeneration and the Polarity Wall (http://infamous.wikia.com...). Evidenced by its name the fact that the Polarity Wall only defends against gunfire, it can be reasoned that the Wall defends Cole through magnetism. However, any thrown object, the Whipfist, or Alex's midair Blade attack (http://prototype.wikia.com...) will punch through the Polarity Wall, as its magnetism is not strong enough to stop the Blade's momentum. If Alex could hit Cole with the Blade, Cole would be injured and stunned enough for Alex to consume him. Please comment on ways I could improve my debate technique. Thank you for your time.
