I've said it before but, the show does such a good job of showing that despite being strong, Allen's no real match and the Viltrumite's are just on this different level of speed, strength and brutality.

I love Alan’s little smile. Knowing there’s no way out, he then decides to mock them… They toy with him like a pack of intergalactic dogs. Smashing him up, ripping off his arm and eventually slamming her whole arm through his stomach (the Viltrumite classic).

I think that because Allen's voiced by Seth Rogen people assume he's just a goofy comic relief character, but he has true heroic spirit. He's that guy. If he can't beat you, he's still not going to give up. He really will be the guy you have to kill if it comes down to it.

He is already a real one to me. I mean, you need balls to face 3 psychopathic Supermans much stronger than you, look at your girlfriend (and innocent people around) then look at them and mock their faces in order to be the only victim
