Immortal had never died before Omni-Man. He isn’t called that because he can come back from the dead, he’s called that because he’s never been killed before and he’s over 1,000 years old. If they knew he could come back to life just by putting him back together, they never would have buried him.

If he could be taken out by something as low-powered as a musket-pistol, Omni-man wouldn’t have had ANY trouble with him.

Immortal is the toughest human in existence. He’s our Krillin. Then these stupid aliens come along and make him look like a punk…

Maybe it’ll have Spidey. That’d be nuts.

I have this headcanon that Ray didn’t die, he maybe got a bit chewed on and that kicked his shrinking power into overdrive and he went microscopic. Now, he’s having quantum adventures with tardigrade princesses in chainmail bikinis and lazers and swords made of bone and stuff.

I’m curious as to what you think about this particular series of panels. What do you think he’s feeling here, what touches you about it?

For me, I think he’s enraged that he needs to even try to explain himself to this lower life form, this waste of Viltrumite dna… but he knows he needs her, so he tamps it down.

Comic spoilers:

This didn’t hurt him, it was just too public for him to brush off as nothing happening.

The first time the Immortal took enough damage to actually die was when he met a traitorous Viltrumite. Human weapons of the time (and even in the future, we find out later) cannot kill the Immortal.

My guess is overconfidence.

Argall was probably the only one left alive who knew, because he’s an immortal unstoppable Viltrumite king, right? He’s the only one who NEEDS to know. In another 10,000 years or whatever, he might be feeling a little older and is ready to step down, then he’ll tell whoever he needs to that Nolan is the heir.
