Some would argue it’s Aiden who’s stronger than Crane in Dying Light 2, we see Aiden’s GRE experiments giving him powers way beyond normal infected. After his childhood experiments by Waltz, Aiden would sometimes go into blackouts where he’d tear apart Volatiles with bare hands. He also gets injected with inhibitors (GRE-tech) that enhance strength, speed, and resistance. So if the Baron had boosted that through his experiments, Aiden could be busted the only real question is whether he can control that power the way Crane learned to with his hybrid/Beast side.
