^And you're absolutely wrong, Cole wins actually. Let me explain why.

It's true, Mercer is quite the juggernaut, but here is the thing, he has a weakness towards electricity and cold. Cross, a well trained man was capable of stunning Mercer with just a taser, can you just imagine, what Cole's electricity would do to Mercer? Then there is the fact, Mercer's bio mass is tissue, hence his two weaknesses and before you think Mercer could fool Cole with his shapeshifting, WRONG! Mercer's shapeshifting would be useless as Cole's radar pulse would detect that it is Mercer, giving Mercer's chance of fooling Cole down the drain.

It's basically Batman w/ kryptonite vs. Superman (YES, I know most times Superman still won those cases, I'm just making an example). That one is stronger than the other, but the fact that one is severely weak to something gives the other a huge advantage. Something that many people who thinks Mercer would win doesn't understand.

And BEFORE you bring up the whole "BUT ALEX MERCER SURVIVED A NUKE!". NO! he did not, you see that scene is a bit misleading like I said before, in order to regenerate he needs biomass and he actually died from the nuke, had a random crow not of came by, something that happened by luck, Mercer would of stayed dead as nothing but a pile of goop.

AND to prove my point much further, read these everyone.

I think I've proven to everyone who the winner would be and that is Cole MacGrath. ;)

Just remember in case you don't read this fully, like I said, a normal guy which was Cross was able to go toe-to-toe with Mecer, you know who can lift 80 and gave him pause from a normal taser.
