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

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

Since when do viltrumites get stronger by nearly dying?

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

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

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

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

According to who? When was this stated?

u/kingKrispyKoko Apr 07 '24

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

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

u/TheDevastator24 Apr 07 '24

yeah thats the only times mark gets power spikes.
