So... basically, we have to cherry-pick a made-up SPARTAN II using traits you specially pick? What the french? That's just asinine. And again, not even Kelly can match the speed and agility we've seen displayed from some Spectres. Tela Vasir would run rings around Kelly.

As for experience, sure, the Chief has plenty of experience. But not nearly as much as, oh, say an asari Spectre. Remember the asari? The race that lives for over a thousand years? I'm willing to bet that most asari have more experience in their pinkie fingers than the Master Chief has in his entire body.

I don't need to combine the best features of the known Spectres. Tela Vasir could easily kill any SPARTAN II. They wouldn't stand a chance. She'd run rings around them and crush them like tin cans with her biotics. And I'd put money on Saren or Commander Shepard against just about any SPARTAN II out there. I'm not gonna play the whole "If I take the strength of ___, the speed of ___, and the ___ of ___" nonsense though. That's ludicrous. Spectres can stand on their own, and don't need to be dissected for qualities. If the SPARTAN IIs were really a match for Spectres, you wouldn't need to mix and match to make your own "Super-SPARTAN II" that never existed canonically, would you?
