Cole/Belthazor vs Zanku

Who do you think will win?
Cole killed the triad alone.
Zanku didn't kill any "master devil" force, but was strongest demon at his time.
For anyone who hasn't a clue there, it's about Charmed..

this is a question answered by no easy means!!! ANY charmed fan would know that!
When cole is Balthazor, there is no chance he could defeat Zankou, even the Source could not do so. Furthermore, it is speculated that Zankou would actually be more intelligent, better connected and generally more knowledgable of the magical world, considering his age, and amazing powers of anticipation and presence.
Though, to advance that if you refer to cole as the Source we could not answer....
and to advance it even more, if you refer to the indestructable cole, well that speaks for itself. Even the charmed ones could not defeat him without reality being changed.

Belthazor killed the Triad by himself...
As the Source, I'm sure he would win.

The Triad was less powerful than The Source.
The Source could not beat Zankou.
Cole's victory over The Triad is, as a result, irrelevant to his chances against Zankou.
Keep in mind that Cole failed to defeat the Source.. it simply transferred into him. Essentially, the Source was not defeated until the Charmed Ones did so by an utterly exhausting vanquishing..
Since the Source could not beat Zankou, it is within reason to assume the Charmed Ones would have had to double that effort when facing Zankou. Would that be within their power? I find it hard to believe that the Charmed Ones, who suffered losses against lesser demons in the past, only to be revived by the Time-Demon, would be able to summon the collective strength to vanquish Zankou.
As a result, the Unvanquishable Cole would be the only one who could take on Zankou.
This is consistent with the notion that Zankou is/was the most powerful demon of his time.. after all, it would take more than a regular magical creature/collective to take on Zankou.

And from what I've seen from p.o. Elders, they'd not be able to do much either. Maybe the Angel of Destiny? On the other hand, we have seen how easy the Angel of Light was killed who guarded the Hollow..
I'm with Semper and Yoda.. not easily answered, this question is.

The Triad were 3, he was alone against them.
If I recall Belthazor never had a real chance to kill the Source, since last time he tried the Oracle sacrified herself for the Source, in the episode where he's getting into Piper's mind to try to make her abandon her powers.
I am doubting on the fact Cole as The Source wouldn't be able to take on Zanku.
Don't try to find 100% accuracy in my posts, it's like if you ask me between Apophis and Anubis who's the best of the two...

Read Auriels post jim, it explains it well. Your asking a question that can only be answered by the writers, all evidence though would head towards what myself and Auriel are saying. I mean after all, the Charmed ones had to destroy the nexus to kill Zankou.
As for Apophis and Anubis, thats an easy question, Anubis would win every time. He is a half ascended being with the knowledge of the ancients. It took another ascended being to stop him..lol. Apophis was killed by the Tauri/replicators, or another Goa'uld.
Your splitting your ideas between your personal opinions and facts/logic from the shows that support points, so your ending up muddles in your answers and ignoring well placed and structured points that hold enough merit to actually answer the question on a resonable level!
