Inspiration for this character:
Now, I'll be honest I haven't ALWAYS been the biggest fan of the Infamous series, but I had heard about it thanks to watching YouTube videos on the game "Playstation all-stars" which is where I was introduced to Cole MacGrath for the first time, and THEN...I saw the Death battle "Cole MacGrath vs. Alex Mercer" and I was surprised that Alex Mercer who I have known and played as for YEARS in the Prototype game series lost to Cole MacGrath, after words I started checking up on the Infamous game series and even I was impressed by the story, characters and abilities that Cole MacGrath and Delsin Row wielded, talk about versatility combined with power, so it got me thinking "Damn, I wish all these powers were in the SAME person" you know electricity, ice, napalm, smoke, neon, video and concrete, just IMAGINE the versatility and power of said character who had all these elements in one body and that was the bases for the fused character, Cole Row which in my honest opinion is a pretty cool concept.
