Trivia

 * Cole is one of five playable PlayStation characters that is resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi to serve Polygon Man, the others being Kratos, Nariko, Dart Feld, and Wander.
 * Unlike the others, this is due to the fact that the timeline of the inFamous universe is set around the events of inFamous: Second Son, which is set seven years after Cole's death in the Good Karma timeline.
 * Delsin Rowe having Cole's Jacket as an alternate costume explains this Cole's lack of the Courier Jacket as an alternate costume. This is also referenced in Cole's unique quotes against Delsin in Duel Mode.
