So...

Offensive Powers: I'm giving this one to Mewtwo. Cole's got a variety of ways to manipulate his own power, yes, but Mewtwo's power is versatile and has far more options. His incredible psychic strength is a cut above Cole's electrokinesis, which is what will ultimately give him an edge in this category. The only place Mewtwo's powers fall short is in stealth and trap-making. Cole's abilities can help him attack on the run and turn the match into a game of cat-and-mouse, which works to his advantage. Ultimately, though, Mewtwo gets this by virtue of not being stopped by a chain-link fence.

Support Powers: This one's a tie. Mewtwo gets the edge in mobility, certainly, but Cole's got everything else. The Polarity Wall stops all incoming attacks for as long as Cole holds it, while Barrier simply boosts Mewtwo's defenses. Finally, while Recover can be used more freely than Electric Drain (discounting bolt shenanigans from 1) it also leaves Mewtwo vulnerable, while Cole has demonstrated the ability to attack while charging. Ultimately, Mewtwo's mobility advantage is big enough for it to tie up this comparison.

Other Powers: Cole gets this one. While missing his Ionic Blasts will be highly detrimental, his cryokinetic powers give him a major boost in versatility, and a way to beat those pesky fences. Mewtwo's mega evo gives him a power boost and his TMs give him more options, but none of these can radically change his or Cole's gameplan the way Cole's cryokinetic powers can change the match.

Overall: Mewtwo loses. Cole gets this victory simply due to experience; Mewtwo isn't too different an enemy from Sasha, Bertrand, Kessler, or the highly forgettable Alden Tate. Cole, meanwhile, is a completely different beast from what Mewtwo has fought before. Mewtwo simply hasn't fought someone with both powers and intelligence comparable to his, while COle has fought people with powers and intelligence superior to his and come out on top. Mewtwo's the better combatant, but Cole's ultimately better prepared for the fight.
