Do you think the Guardians Of The Globe could have won if Red Rush had stuck to just bailing the others out of death and hadn't attacked himself, or do you think everyone was doomed no matter what? They did put up a great fight even after he was removed, so I think it's plausible they could have. DISCUSSION

I don’t think there is a reality where the Guardians are surprise attacked by a Viltrumite as powerful as Nolan and they come out on top.

It may seem like they did some heavy damage to Nolan, but we’ve seen Invincible take a lot more damage and come back no problem. I’m not sure Nolan was all that challenged here.

He may have been holding back to make it seem more believable. Still impressive, no doubt. The damage was done.

I will never not think this is stupid. My man was hospitalised, in a coma, and for a time, they weren't even fully sure he would survive. He didn't plan for that no matter what way you twist it.

The whole idea is that he ambushed them for being a major threat. Clearly they reinterpreted it in the show to make this believable by having them put up a good fight. Makes more sense than these supposed 'big threats' being fodderised in one panel.

Yeah, that is a scene where I think the show improved on the comic.
