He has absurdly powerful psychic abilities but if he doesn’t get time to build them up they’re not going to help him much, most of his fighting is just him hitting things physically with a sword and the only time he’s ever flash-obliterated a physically stronger opponent to my knowledge was when Horus tagged in to distract them for him to build up his power (this was the ork mentioned above).
If Nolan or Mark tries to fuck around and talk then he’s getting lobotomised/forcibly heart-attacked/sucked into hell but if he just flies in and starts throwing hands then there’s not much the Emperor can really do because Viltrumites in general are thousands to millions of times stronger than him.
Situationally sure, the Emperor has been almost beaten to death by a =<30 foot ork and knocked down by something that just vaguely dents the hull of a ship.
