He’s what? 18? Basically nothing in viltrumite timeframe.
Literally gets dominated by Lucan using one finger.
Then he gets his ass beat by Thula, who has hundreds of years of experience minimum, mind you viltrumites get stronger with age, aaand somehow a pep talk allows him to almost kill her? What? Mind you, in the comics this Thula threw down with Battle Beast and walked away alive
I mean she looked scuffed up and bruised but considering we know what Viltrimites can take my bet is that moment it looked like Mark was going to kill her she was just playing possum to either get the opportunity to stab Mark and/or gauge Mark’s ruthlessness to see if he’d be a worth addition to the Empire. Especially because they need Mark since Nolan has to be executed for being a traitor.
Yeah, Lucan had his guts spilling out and had a giant pointy rock drilled into his internal organs and still managed to get back up and fight. These Viltrumites are incredibly durable.
They are basically super saiyans with wolverine genes. And btw what i say is true because a lot of people dont know or forget that Invincible started as a parody of shonen mangas and Marvel/DC comics overall.
There are like hundreds of CLEAR references to other comics. But when it got too popular, they have to create a unique story since you cant keep going as a parody forever if you wanna have smt for real.
