Lightsabers aren’t anywhere near hot enough to pose an immediate threat to viltrumites. They can be slowed by heavy metal blast doors, while high level Viltrumites can get dunked in the sun and “only” have their skin burned off.

Precog is helpful, but you still need to be fast enough to act on that information. The speed gap between a viltrumite and a jedi is so vast that jedi precog (keeping in mind that Jedi have been killed and beaten by regular ass non force sensitives before like Jango Fett or Cad Bane) can’t keep up.

Also, Jedi have no counter to Omni-Man’s “fly through the atmosphere so fast you cause explosions” trick.

Still though wish we also got the line about Mark not catching a breath considering they now can’t to the homage later.

IMO it makes more sense in the context of the show’s timeline with the more extended training arc with Nolan before the S1 finale. Mark’s simply had more training and more difficult fights at this point than he did at this point in the comics and he’s in comparatively better shape. In the comic, the fight with Nolan was Mark’s first serious beat down, but he’d already been put through the ringer several times before fighting Nolan in S1 and has had tough fights so far this season. Comic Mark spent more time coasting on his baseline Viltrumite powers in fights whereas Show Mark is pushed to the limit way more frequently.
