Or the Ray Sphere is supposed to be used as a means of giving Cole's powers while destroying and killing everything around it to gain bystanders' energy in order to power him up. It's not really a full-on survival for Cole as a human.

Alex did not survive only a fraction and can do better than a ton of tnt. It's like saying he's still weak to bullets so easily and a tank can one-shot him. What about thermobarric explosives, attacks from Hunters who can match tanks in strength and durability, Goliath, and he survived the nuke in the middle of the blast radius.

Plus the Supreme Hunter stated to be able to withstand the nuke at some scale when the nuke isn't in the water and if he consumed Alex. The combined biomass is possibly enough to take it head-on.
