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

It’s not even them winning, they couldn’t kill him, it’s any of them surviving. If one escapes his illusion is broken.

Its actually stupid that their first move wasn’t to just retreat and regroup. Why fight him? His goal is just to kill you. Live to fight another day and deny him the element of surprise.

It seems like Omni-Man was probably the second (or maybe third) fastest supe in the group, so while some of them might escape, running all but guarantees that more than few of them were going to get killed while they try to flee. I see why in the spur of the moment they felt like they were safer off trying to fight.

or maybe third

Who do you see being faster than him? I agree with everything else you said, but I genuinely can't see anyone other than RR outrunning Omni-Man

At the time I was thinking of the Immortal since he can clearly move a bit faster than most members of the Guardians. I think it's still a huge stretch to think he'd be faster than Nolan, but he's frankly the only one outside of RR that I could see being able to successfully flee.

The Immortal is fast as well. While not as fast as RR he is able to react and see RR push him out of the way of Nolan's ambush.
