Could any character in the show survive a hydrogen bomb or nuclear bomb? COMIC SPOILERS

I think Viltrumites have a chance only thing is the high sound emitted from the nuclear bomb would hurt them right? For Immortal he could probably survive a nuke with some burns but hydrogen bomb might take him out for good

Invincible literally fought a man on the surface of the sun and survived. A nuke is nothing.

I still don’t know who’s stronger, Allen or Invincible.

At that very point I think Invincible is a bit stronger, could go either way but I'd go with a 60/40

However, I think Allen gets stronger with each near-death experience, and while viltrumites also do, it seems to not be as significant of a leap forward.

So I think the answer is who is more battle-hardened, with Allen taking the trophy if he's only at least 2-3 near-death experiences from Invincible.

Of course, there is likely an upper limit as to how strong they can get from near-death experiences, and age might become a factor as well (i dont know how long Unopans live in comparison to Viltrumites)

EDIT : y'all are right, Viltrumites dont get boosted with and only with near-death experiences, but they do get stronger by pushing their limits, which incidentally happens when they almost die fighting

Viltrumites get stronger with age and by pushing their powers to the limits. It just so happens everytime invincible pushes his powers to the limits he almost dies so it looks like a zenkai boost, but it’s not

Since when do viltrumites get stronger by nearly dying?

95

u/lukamic Apr 07 '24

They just get stronger with age. Just the convenience of time that as Mark gets his ass beat he continues to get older

u/ChiefCasual Apr 07 '24

He gets buffed by Eve at least once as well. When they nearly get killed by Thragg

u/gonegoat Apr 07 '24

Yeah I just read the whole series and I think that’s only Allen’s thing.

u/NinduTheWise Apr 07 '24

I think its just the fact that people confuse Mark going all out and pushing his limits for his near death experience powering him up

u/AmanteNomadstar Apr 07 '24

>! Not really Viltrumites, but every time Atom Eve heals/rebuilds Invincible, he gets stronger and more durable !<

u/JulianPaagman Apr 07 '24

According to who? When was this stated?

21

u/kingKrispyKoko Apr 07 '24

It only happened once atom eve did say she rebuilt his body physically stronger

8

u/TheDevastator24 Apr 07 '24

mark asks her when she rebuilds him if she made him stronger she says yeah.

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '24

They say it right after she revives him. I’m pretty sure he directly says “you made me stronger” or something like that

4

u/TheDevastator24 Apr 07 '24

yeah thats the only times mark gets power spikes.

u/batmanshypeman Battle Beast Apr 07 '24

After the epilogue Mark claps if he really wanted to kill Allen. Allen needs to survive to get the zenkai boost and Mark is stronger at the end so if Mark destroys his heart and brain Allen can’t recover from that no zenkai boost no threat to Mark.

u/NoWeight4300 Apr 07 '24

Idk why I just realized it but Allen really is just straight up a Saiyan with Zenkai boosts.

u/TheDevastator24 Apr 07 '24

Viltrumites do not get stronger by fighting, they have to train.

u/TheChartreuseKnight Apr 08 '24

I mean, they do get stronger with fighting, they just need to train as well. Fighting is like training but you’re way more dedicated to doing well.

u/Jefrejtor Apr 07 '24

Mark did beat Allen in the last issue - altough they were both much older, so maybe Allen got weaker with age

1

u/Etticos Mister Liu (Dragon Form) Apr 08 '24

Allen be gobblin’ up those zenkai boosts

1

u/calebcarpenter39 Apr 08 '24

At that point but if I remember correctly towards the end of the comics when Mark is alot older they fight again and Mark just destroys him. He takes it easy on him but still it was very 1 sided.

u/Runty25 Apr 07 '24

At that point in the comic Allen is probably a bit stronger honestly. By the end of the comic though invincible is by far the strongest character in the entire series.

If ur talking about the show then it’s not even a little close Allen sweeps every single time.

u/Injustice_For_All_ Comic Fan Apr 07 '24

Doesn’t Mark lay out Allen after Allen gets upset about planets leaving the coalition?

1

u/bestoboy The Lizard League Apr 07 '24

Allen was stronger up until the epilogue where they explicitly show Mark squashing him
