  • Phelps takes the edge for his USMC training compared to Ness's police academy training. Ness didn't really get the high training Cole Phelps got.
  • Phelps takes this due to his World War 2 experience while Eliot Ness mainly tackled prohibition cases. Eliot Ness didn't engage in much combat until the Capone case where he was outnumbered heavily.
  • Ness takes this due to him not seeing the atrocities Phelps saw in World War 2. He's seen his own friend die in front of his own eyes and was the last survivor of the Battle of Sugarloaf Hill. Ness hasn't seen anything this bad.
  • Both of these men are very intellegent so it's even.
  • Phelps takes the edge due to him being in the height of his physical condition. Ness is very healthy but Phelps takes the edge by a sliver.
  • Ness takes the edge due to his leadership skills. Phelps can work with other cops but does most of the work by himself.

B​attle[]

Cole Phelps: 12345

Eliot Ness: 12345

Since the voters didn't choose a location for the battle I chose a Chicago train station as the location.

Chicago, Illinois 

Cole Phelps has been sent with 4 of the LAPD's best officers to Chicago to investigate a series of crimes committed. This has brought him to a train station where Eliot Ness and 4 Untouchables are also looking for more clues that will lead them to Al Capone. Ness sees Phelps and assumes he's one of the corrupt cops sent by Al Capone so he raises his Star Model B as his men raise their M1928 Thompsons and 1903 Springfields and open fire, killing an officer.

Cole Phelps: 1234

Phelps and his men take cover. Phelps shoots his M1911A1 towards Ness and his men, managing to score a headshot. 

Eliot Ness: 1234

Springfield, M1911A1, Star Model B, M1 Garand, and Thompson gunfire echo the empty train station but was interrupted by a massive explosion from a Mk 2 frag grenade. The explosion was lethal to an LAPD officer with an M1 Garand.

Cole Phelps: 123

Cole Phelps tells his men to retreat but the officer with a M2 flamethrower doesn't follow orders and rushes to Ness and his men, scorching 1 of them.

Eliot Ness: 123

An Untouchable with an M1928 Thompson riddles the LAPD officer with bullets, blowing up the tank on his back.

Cole Phelps: 12

Phelps picks up an M1A1 Thompson from a fallen ally and retreats with his remaining LAPD officer retreat as Ness and his 2 Untouchables chase after them. They go up a flight of stairs but the LAPD officer stops and manages to hit an Untouchable with an M1 Garand in the chest and head.

Eliot Ness: 12

Eliot Ness and his remaining Untouchable try to shoot the office but barely miss. Phelps and his final LAPD officer exit the train station and are trying to find where they parked the police car but can't locate it. The final Untouchable aims his 1903 Springfield and fires at the LAPD officer, turning his brain into mist.

Cole Phelps: 1

Cole Phelps retaliates and fires at the Untouchable, hitting him in the chest.

Eliot Ness: 1

Eliot Ness spots Cole Phelps and fires his Star Model B towards his direction. Cole returns fire and manages to hit Eliot in the shoulder but eventually hears a click. He drops the Thompson and takes out his M1911A1 from earlier and loads a clip into it. He fires at Ness and tries to retreat to the police car. Ness chases Phelps down the alleyway between the train station and a hotel and fires at Phelps. Phelps tries to open the door of his car but feels a cold piece of metal against his head. Ness pulls the trigger but feels the same sound Phelps heard with his Thompson.

​*Clank*

Cole takes the gun out of Eliot's hand and pushes it to the side, under the police car. Cole knees Ness in the groin and takes out his M1911A1. Phelps empties the clip into Eliot's head, turning the prohibition officer's brain into small chunks on the Chicago ground.

Winner: Cole Phelps

Expert's Opinion[]

I believe Cole Phelps succeeded due to his superior training and harder hitting arsenal compared to Eliot Ness.
