Comics Omni-Man

To those that aren’t aware, Comics Omni-Man literally shat on the Guardians. He didn’t get hurt once.

Atleast in the show it was close.

I honestly hated how easily they went down in the comics. Even Robert Kirkman himself said that he kind of regretted how he made them all go down without any effort. It always annoys me when a show like this or DBZ for example has literally ONE character being the most powerful and everyone else is just basically fodder. I'm really glad in the show it did them justice by having them actually almost kill Omni Man and put up a decent fight. They only lost because they were caught off guard and holding back

except for One Punch Man, where it's the actual premise of the show....

True. But they do a good job of making him show up late. Plus gotta love the running joke that everyone that matters can’t believe he is that strong even when he shows how strong he is right to their face. How King managed to get No. 2 ranking just by being in the right place when Saitama does something awesome is beyond me.

King is the one that takes all the credit for Saitama’s kills. That how he got to #2 and the worst part they just assume it’s him. They didn’t listen to him and now he is in too deep.

King is lucky number 7.

Number 2 is Tatsumaki, the “Tornado of Terror”. The psychic sister who kinda looks like a brocoli with a black stem if you squint at her from a distance.

I disagree with "everyone that matters can't believe it", but I'm going purely off the anime as I haven't read the original web comic or the Manga. I feel like some of the s rank have realized, like Tatsumaki and Bang.

I do love how opposed the reactions are to King and Saitama, which I get is the point, but it's done well. Everybody makes every excuse for why Saitama isn't actually insanely strong and everybody comes up with the most bullshit reason why King is Uber powerful, like when he didn't cut the apple cause he couldn't even get the blade unsheathed 😂
