Talk:Cole MacGrath VS Alex Mercer/@comment-25182985-20150321054212/@comment-24442932-20150625165131

that statement that he dies with the nuke is incorrect. he did not die. his body just became in its pure biomass form, and like with healing factors, needed time to reform, if he truly was killed he wouldnt be able to capture the Crow and consume it. he just took adavntage of it to reconstruct himself faster. As stated by his former boss, Mercer is no more, its the virus in the form of mercer and his memories (or lack of). Being composed enterely of that substance, Mercer lacks the weakness the average human withholds, he has no vital organs to suffer serious damage. he was truly immortal, even the parasite and infection created specifically to kill him started to have no effect, showing the blacklight virus (Alex Mercer) adapts and evolves to the situation or threat present. On another note cole is just a random delivery guy. alex is a prodigy as a scientist, i think he wont have big problem outhinking an opponent who needs to constantly absorb electricity from outside sources to pose as a sufficient threat, or that if fully imersed in a liquid electrocutes himself to death. maybe cole can dish out more for a small while, but alex is gonna outlast him and outsmart him in the end. Put simple: no matter what cole throws at alex he won't be brought down, and what cole throws has limitations, while alex just keeps improving and evolving. its like superman vs hulk in a take their powers to actual discription level. supes troll hulk for the biggining. hulk gets angrier and angrier and thus stronger, as superman gets weaker as he wears out solar power, until hulks outpowers him. but thats just a theory
