of course natsu is stronger. but natsu is the main character and has plot armor. and before you start hating me:

if you look at what each character is seperately capable of, you will notice that almost everywhere (and thats not only fairy tail who has this problem) a poison-type magic/power has advantage over almost everything because of the same reasons I already said. and cobra has even more abilities. he just doesn't seem to use them.

honestly, the only one Ive ever seen to use his poison-powers to its full extend is magellan from one piece, and now imagine for a moment that cobra should actually be able to do the very same himself. he doesnt, because he's a villain and therefore is obliged to ignore the evil overlord rules.
