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

Comic spoilers: he was holding back substantially

While I didn’t read the first thirteen issues, I’m aware. However, I do know the show changed a lot about that fight. He wrecked them easily in the comic.

This was improved in the show, to explain why he had to kill the guardians (but not other superhero teams). It was a close fight.

The comics messed it up by doing it in one "whoa" page where he just kills each one, one per panel. But that made it seem unnecessary. Later on, in the time reset, it's shown that the Guardians could beat Nolan with prep time, after Invincible warned them which, lore-wise, overrides the fast action of the first encounter in the early issues.

True.

So, with that, how did the person I’m replying to figure that OM was, “holding back substantially,” and consider it a comic spoiler?

Did you just gloss over the with prep time part? With enough prep and know how an ant could take down an elephant.

  1. I disagree with that analogy.
  2. I read the comics. They literally only got a warning and a very small amount of help by Invincible during the fight.
  3. With number two, if the Globe had that much of a chance, why would Omni-Man ever hold back substantially?
