History WMG / InFamous

This could also be the setup for a new crossover fighter. Cole must use his time travel powers to assemble [[Franchise/RatchetAndClank Ratchet]], [[VideoGame/JakAndDaxter Jak]], [[VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet Sackboy]], VideoGame/{{Ico}}, and [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]], while Kratos finds allies in a [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal Black]] era [[MonsterClown Needles Kane]], and [[VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus Wander]].

[[WMG: Cole is a descendant of [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3 Colonel Volgin]].]]

Simultaneously confirmed and Jossed. The Heroic endings to both games [[WordOfGod are canon]]. [[spoiler: The evil ending of inFamous 2 has Cole become the Beast.]]

* [[spoiler: Confirmed. He rebuilt his body after the Ray Sphere ripped it apart and became the Beast. Though it turns out he's not the bloodthirsty monster Kessler presented him as.]]

When the Beast shows up in, he is a rampaging monster, but [[spoiler:when he is revealed to be John and not one]], well James should be the real deal.

** After ''VideoGame/{{inFamous}} 2'' [[spoiler:the evidence keeps piling up-the Ray Sphere is an Angel who fused with White to further it's/his aims, and there's nothing "artificial" about the Conduits-they're the Beast's version of Third Impact, the replacing of humanity with it's/his own race. Which makes it/him Kawarou, of course.]]

* Confirmed, sans the TimeTravel. [[spoiler: John's body was torn apart, atom by atom, but FromASingleCell applies.]]

Kessler himself was the one who orchestrated that Cole be in the center of the Ray Sphere explosion at the start of the first game, so unless it gets confirmed that the game happens on a StableTimeLoop, Kessler himself was not in the center of the explosion. In the second game, Nix reveals that she got her powers from the Ray Sphere explosion that empowered [[spoiler:Joseph Bertrand]], so a Ray Sphere can empower more than one person, although the person in the middle gets the lion's share of the transformation. Kessler, unlike Cole, was probably a bystander instead of right in the middle of the Ray Sphere debacle, thus he was able to live a more normal life than Cole(who, being right in the middle of the explosion, was forced into a more active role in the situation). Kessler is atoning for the fact he was not more proactive towards the situation. Also, the difference in how they were empowered can also explain how Cole and Kessler's powers differ: different circumstances in their empowering led to different powers.

Female conduits develop abilities that can alter the way matter works in their environment such as flight and teleportation. Male conduits develope abilities that improve upon themselves such as enhanced strength, stamina, speed, and endurance.

Well, they're antagonistic to each other, yes, because that's what fire and ice characters are known for, but nevertheless, they cooperate in stopping the Beast. At least they have caring moments like that time when Nix [[spoiler:spits at the dead Bertrand]] and Kuo takes pity on her for that.

As we learned in ''inFAMOUS 2'', [[spoiler:the Beast could cure plague victims by turning them into conduits. The way he accomplishes this is in the same way as the Ray Sphere: killing countless people and using their energy to empower the plague victim. In Kessler's timeline, he had contracted the plague, and the Beast cured him and turned him into a conduit. The guilt from being responsible for so many lost lives, along with the deaths of Trish and Zeke, motivated him to go back in time to right what went wrong.]]

* That actually makes me feel better about being massacred by a junkie with a hood covering his face, throwing up black tar, and not even looking up from over 100 meters.

If there isn't a clause in the TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame for [=WMGs=] involving AU versions, there should be!

** Actually, the jury is still out on that one. Sucker Punch has said they're working to see if they can implement the Good/Bad endings in a way like TheSuffering did, or at least come to a middle ground that won't upsets fans of either ending.

[[WMG: Cole and the Beast are AU, {{Gender Flip}}ped versions of Fate Testarossa and Signum from ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''.]]
