The timing of this scene was bizarre. Mark had been established as strong enough to fight her off at that point.

She’s older and more experienced. That means she’s able to be more consistently strong.

He's already faced a far stronger Viltrumite by this time, it's more mental / emotional shit holding him back than his muscles

Having re-read the scene I agree. He was a wreck at the time and he didn't want to really hurt her.

Yep it's a bit of that, bit of the Eve stuff and then also just the actual attack on him he's so conflicted.

We see not long after how easily Nolan had a hold of her, sure she's still one of the higher end but the jump to Mark / Nolan is big especially considering like I said Mark had already faced Conquest a bunch who's above those two again.

Yeah, but he beat Conquest by being more invested, as Omniman said. He wanted to KILL conquest, while the latter was still mucking around a bit. Like, nothing about either of those fights does Invincible seem physically stronger than Conquest.

I think it's fair to say that at this point, Anissa is still a fair bit stronger than Mark, and he wasn't going to get her off without going for the throat (literally and figuratively). And as much as he didn't want it to happen, he wasn't going to go that far, on this instance

I mean he did but he didn’t really win in a fight. He kept conquest from breathing and that’s how he won. Marks gotten stronger but experience as a fighter still matters

Nah, she was no Conquest. Though she might have been that strong, it was never clear...to me....
