      Honestly I was thinking the other way round, even in looks and all, comics mark started looking beefier by this point, but thats just me ig.

      Nolan told mark to start exercising during this fight in the comics, whereas he started in season 1 of the show.

          Yeah there are a ton of Zenkai boosts in Invincible. The more a Viltrumite is damaged, the stronger they get when they recover.

        Forcefully take over planets

        Culture revolves around being strong

        Can breed with humans

        Signature hairy part of the body

        When they get close to death, they get stronger

        !Home planet gets blowed up!<

        Are we sure Mark and Nolan can’t go SupersaiyanViltrumite?

          What are you referring to here? I don’t get how this applies to viltrumites, or even saiyans (unless you mean oozaru or ssj4)

            So why Invicible is so strong ? I mean, I didn’t read the comics. But from what I readed, Mark seems to become one of the most powerful viltrumite ever in relative short time (for viltrumites). Maybe his human side make him stronger ?

              Partly due to basically growing up with a strong father and facing thr toughest gives in the universe over and over again.

              I won’t spoil too much but he also gets a kind of “magic” power up that really takes him higher than he’d achieve naturally and also he’s from a special lineage.

              Out of universe explanation: he’s the main character so of course he would be

              In universe, lore reason: it was never really mentioned explicitly why he was so strong

      Yeah considering the threats he faced in s01 were ones he faced after Thraxa and he got trained by Nolan for a hit whereas he wasn’t exerting himself in the comics it definitely felt intentional. The fact he was even able to hold up Thula was shocking.

        He needs to start exercising more, waiting for the panel of him bench pressing at the Pentagon base

          More than just exericising. Like Nolan said, he’s strong enough to beat them, but just lacks the will to actually kill them. That’s why he had to be saved by his dad and took the brutal injury that made it so he couldnt defend his dad when the mr intestines came back.
