Instead of a virus giving him powers like Alex Mercer, the protagonist of Prototype, protagonist Cole McGrath's powers come from an explosion. Cole's powers are also electricity-based as opposed to shapeshifting.
Both games are a bit similar in that are sandbox-style action games with superhuman protagonists. Both games also have comic books, although the inFAMOUS one is available for download from the official site.
As for who's hotter Alex or Cole...they're about even to me. Cole maybe gains a few points because we can actually see the top of his head.
inFAMOUS is in stores now.
