Line 8:
* You can drain more electricity out of a portable television than you can from a car battery. And even more out of a human being.
** The car battery isn't hooked up to the mains. As for the second one, if humans aren't a powerful source of energy then the Ray-Sphere doesn't work.
* How does Cole take a shower? See [[Super Drowning Skills]] for speculation. Related; how does Cole...[[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms|pass the time?]]
** It has been shown that small bodies of water do not effect Cole, so he could easily maintain his hygiene with small amounts of water.
** As for the second question, he would probably...[[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms|pass the time]] the same way ''normal'' people do; in private, with no one in the, ah, blast range. One must wonder how he can...[[A Man Is Not a Virgin|enjoy human companionship,]] though.
*** Another possibility for the second question. Maybe he just doesn't? It's not like everybody does it. As for the "human companionship" part, I don't see how his powers would get in the way of that.
** Then again, it would seems Sasha thinks there isn't anything to worry about since she wanted to get on his pants.
Line 33:
*** Well it's either that, or kill them in cold blood. Of the two options, restraining them is the marginally more "heroic" choice.
** This one is so dumb: A man who has spent the last ''four years'' making a hobby out of urban exploration, who is so good at it that he can climb virtually any building he encounters, cannot scale a chain-link fence. You know, that metal thing that's practically ''made of handholds and footholds'', that untrained children can scale with ease. And it's not because of its conductivity, either--Cole can scale other metallic objects with no trouble.
*** Aren't there supposed to be armed soldiers outside those fences enforcing the quarantine with every single weapon they have access to? While that might not mean much in, say, ''[[Prototype (Videovideo Gamegame)|Prototype]]'', there's no indication Cole can survive being shot to pieces. Self-preservation?
**** Nope - the restriction extends to any chain link fence in the whole game. The fact that Cole can't shoot through a conductive metal fence makes sense, but the fact he can't climb them really doesn't.
*** If you look closely, every single chain-link fence in the entire game is capped with barbed wire or razor-wire. No matter how good an urban explorer you are, you're '''not''' getting over that unscathed without some kind of gear -- whether wire cutters to cut through it, or just a mat to provide a safe place to crawl over. He's in enough danger from enemies without slicing himself up climbing over fences when he can just go around.
Line 72:
** But then there wouldn't be a sequel. Speaking of Kessler, how the hell does general power over electricity turn into Time Travel?
*** The same way he can teleport, summon electrical duplicates, or read the minds of dead people: [[Lightning Can Do Anything]]. Specifically, he was limited to only one time travel 'jump', and didn't seem to have that good a control over when he landed, so it's less of an [[Idiot Ball]] than it might seem.
*** So he lands far back enough to take control of an ancient cult of telepaths, advance their [[Science Is Bad|nightmare-science]] by leaps and bounds, perform horrible experiments on people and animals, all the while creating a life-time long [[Gambit Roulette]], the end-goal of which is simply to find the deepest and most brutal way of [[My Own Grampa|kicking himself in the groin]]... and he can't find a single man/summoner/scientist/[[Prototype (Videovideo Gamegame)|Alex Mercer]]?
*** Can you identify the man who is going to destroy the world, right now? Kessler fled with Trish and his kids as soon as The Beast emerged. He doesn't know who it is or where it came from - likely, nobody did, cause those who were near it tended to become dead. An unknown entity that was likely created through a freak accident - yeah, that's going to be real easy to find.
*** He doesn't need to find the specific guy who gets turned into the Beast, though. Just the thing that DOES turn him into the Beast. Considering how deeply involved he is in the whole superpower experimentation, he shouldn't find it too difficult to get in on the secret project that forms the Beast.
