The connections between Alex and Cole are that both are the original main protagonists from rivaling action-adventure sandbox video games that were released in 2009. Both used to be normal humans with mundane professions (Alex was a Gentek scientist, and Cole was a bike courier), until they were wounded in disastrous events they inadvertently caused or were a part of (the original Alex was shot by Blackwatch soldiers after he deliberately smashed a vial containing the Blacklight Virus, while Cole was tricked by his future self into erupting the Ray Sphere), which turned them into unnatural beings with superpowered abilities (Alex was a new sentient Blacklight Virus born from the corpse of his original counterpart, while Cole became a Conduit with electrokinetic powers). Afterward, both would find themselves quarantined within the now infected cities they lived in (Manhattan Island and Empire City, respectively) with a viral outbreak (the Blacklight Virus and the Ray Field Plague, respectively) and would also be involved in conflicts against amoral organizations (Blackwatch and the Reapers, respectively). Both are also affiliated with a sense of good and bad karma, having started and progressed down opposite paths (Alex would save Manhattan from a nuclear threat but lose his faith in humanity soon after and become a villain, while Cole was canonically viewed as a terrorist by the local populace but bounced back to be recognized as a hero). Additionally, both of them would ultimately die in the endings of thier second games' stories (Alex is consumed by a vengeful James Heller, while Cole canonically sacrifices his life to stop the Beast and save humanity), their deaths of which would also put a major stop to the viruses that threatened their worlds. Both have also had their voice actors changed for their second games.And Both also had respective six-issue miniseries comic books published by Dark Horse Comics and DC Comics.
