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

My favorite part about invincible is even the strongest characters can still get stunned. We’ve seen Omni man get hit a few times and feel it.

That’s just superheroes in general

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.

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

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
