Can a terran marine...

[Lupino]

Well, i suppose they don't have any other options with some kind of missions, if they cannot fill the gap by making better powered armor.

They can and do, but they can't just hand it out to every Tom, Dick and Harry for various reasons, so the good power armor goes to the Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, Inquisition, etc.

If thefirebat in the Ghost intro can easily throw aside a single zergling, I don't see why a marine can't wrestle a zergling to the ground (given that the zergling isn't surprising him from behind).

It's only when marines get overwhelmed in numbers by the zerg (which is quite often) that the melee attackers can overrun them.

Zealots are stronger physically, and their power suits are more powerful, so it's out of the question for a marine to have any sort of a chance without a gun.

Well, in the first SC cinematic, a Zergling is killed by car collision, and in Liberty's Crusade, by a shotgun, so they aren't that resistant, but their claws are very dangerous. The least thing you want, is to be with Zergs in low-visibility places, like jungles, small corridors, etc.

How do we know it died? It could have simply be knocked unconscious.

It was a dog, damn it!

No way we could possibly know- but the humans in the car think it's dead, so that's all we can go on.
