I’m not an astrophysicist, or any kind of expert in physics for that matter, but as I understand it a black hole has a certain boundary called the Event Horizon, the point at which gravity becomes so strong that nothing can escape once this threshold is reached.
Assuming (and we have evidence to suggest this) Invincible approximates real life physics, Omniman was “only” resisting the natural gravitational force a black hole of that solar mass would apply to an object outside the Event Horizon.
Still a crazy feat, but perhaps not as impressive as some people will think.
Also, another thing that people don’t understand is that writers are not astrophysicists. They’re not calculating light year distances between planets to calculate the speed. They just want their show/comic to look cool. There’s no point in trying to use real world physics to analyze characters strength, endurance or speed
Yeah. The fact that Nolan flew to a different star system in a few weeks is mind-blowing. He can fly FTL. Probably tens of thousands of lightyears per second.
Right!! I am genuinely sick of people being angry over details like this one just because the writers didn’t research some physics for a moment that lasts a few seconds and isn’t really that significant lol
I’m pretty sure everyone is aware of this. If we saw Omni-man resist a faster-than-light gravitational pull then it would just be bad writing and a plot hole. We don’t know how big the black hole is nor how far away it is, so all we know is that it wasn’t strong enough to rip the Thraxan ship apart.

Well said

Trying to physics that is a fools game.
“Mark, it’s millions of miles and you don’t know the direction”
Millions, sure. A light year is 6 trillion miles. He’s not wrong, but he’s under-selling the distance by quite a lot.
Maybe planets are just closer together in the universe
Jupiter is about 370 million miles from Earth, on average. Slightly different from the “one or two galaxies away” Mark was told.
All i´m hearing is viltrumites (and other beings capable of interstelar travel on their own) can subconciously create wormholes or fold space. /J
Also completely ignores the weird time stuff that would happen to him.
Finally people with common sense!
