And the hammer that was basically a nuke barley did anything to Omni-man

Nah, a lot of superheros basically alternate from being invincible (no pun intended) to getting their ass kicked when they “meet their match.” There’s not a lot of in between. Superman in particular is either completely unphased by everything, or crawling on the floor after Kryptonite poisoning.

No it really depends on the hero, like spiderman for example wont get his ass kicked by like the lizzard but hes not invincible vs him. batman aswell is going to struggle against his rogues.

The only heros that go from invulnerable to on thier knees are the heros that are crazy powerful so writers need to give them a kryptonite to add stakes.

Except Cosmic Spiderman, he has no weaknesses (excluding The One Above All just erasing him)

He's spiderman, I'm sure his weakness is still and always will be debt or something of those nature.

So there's a nonzero chance that paul is also there, and I will make this my headcanon regardless of what people say.

u/Tenno24 War Woman Apr 08 '24

Paul didn't exist until very recently and on an ENTIRELY different Earth. Even if he did Cosmic Spidey could just erase him from existence without a second thought

I got the feeling you've been treating my jokes seriously.

You making this reply leads me to think you don’t consume any other superhero media and just mindlessly think Invincible is unique in this regard

u/LaeLeaps Invincidrip Apr 07 '24

invincible is probably the best about fights with stakes that you feel or making them feel "balanced" between sides

disclaimer i haven't seen a lot of animated shows about superheroes compared to the next fan, I've mostly read comics and seen live action movies, but I can see how animation can give more opportunity to have moments like these where someone really gets their bell rung or you feel the huge impact of a good smack

the invincible comic run definitely still stands out in this regard vs other superhero comics
