Which is why one rocket kills you in the Halo games.  Look, I realize that the Halo books are canon, but there's a clear disconnect between the games and the books (yeah, yeah, it's for balancing).  What if someone writes a Resistance book about how Hale survived Resistance 2, and now has the ability to instantly kill anyone with telepathic powers?  And his Chimera body instantly regenerates any part of the body, including vital organs like the heart and brain?

Hell, Halo 1 and Halo 2 had fall damage, and I'm supposed to believe that he can survive re-entry?  Yeah, yeah, armor lock and foam or something, but his body would still be experiencing a tremendous amount of force at impact, more than any fall in Halo 1 or Halo 2 that caused damage.  He's supposed to be able to run super fast, but in the games he can barely move faster than a brisk walk.

But my point isn't to argue whether the claims are realistic (afterall, Resistance 2 features telekinetic/telepathic powers).  I just think that we should limit the comparison to what the characters can do in the video games.

the only magic powers master chief has is super fast T-bag skills, which if you were actually paying attention(which you obviously arent because my comment had clearly been directed at the content of the hales speech at the end of the game - it being a private communication between hale and mrfloaty earlier in the game) you would have noticed that i never mentioned it.   i guess i could also include "luck"  as a magic power...since they do make mention of it,...even in the games....which would mean, of course, that hale has absolutely no chance of winning...even if he could blow up the entire planet with a mere thought. 

i clearly make reference to hales pathetic powers taken from mrfloaty.  they are what they are.  if essentially human hale could defeat mrfloaty.  then logically another human could defeat hale. lets then add a superhuman, such as the chief and we find that his success over hale easily attained.  even if we were to assume that within the time frame of getting the powers to the end of the game he has managed to achieve full control over them.

additionally at the end of the game we have hale who is clearly unable, unwilling, or uncaring enough to bother stopping a normal human from shooting him in the head.   we cant make the judgement that he would even put up a fight.(assuming that his body is left there, without suffering further damage, and manages to knit his brain back together. )

and yes, you are biased much from the looks of things.  but i forgive you.

And half of the Nathan Hale voters have never played any of the Halos or read any of the books.

Possibly, but most MC  votes just say "he will stomp hale" with no argument behind it, I have seen more than a few Hale votes that has reasoning behind them. The ability to blow sh*t up with gesture is pretty hard to beat, what's so interesting is that we don't even know the full extent of Hales abilities, he isn't a simple soldier being turned into a chimera.
