Why Was This One Breath From Nolan Cold? DISCUSSION

Post image

Maybe it was just to show he’s out of breath or that possibly Darkblooe was nearby, just seems a bit odd or I’m an idiot

Is Nolan actually more experienced than Immortal? Like I get he's hundreds if not a couple thousand years old, but Immortal was a cave man when he became Immortal. He could easily be tens of thousands of years old.

immortal probably has more experience in terms of years, but nolans experience is as an elite of the heavy weights

doesent matter how much you practice swimming if you never left the kiddy pool

I think people don't give Immortal enough credit. Sure he doesn't scale with Nolan, but on a purely technical level I'd bet he'd be a better fighter, as a consequence of being weaker.

Nolan fought his way to one of the top positions of the Viltrum Empire, likely destroying entire civilizations at a time. He trapped Space Racer, survived the Rognarrs (mostly by luck tbf), etc. These were considered species wide threats to Viltrum. He’s likely fought and defeated many other Viltrumites who have spent thousands of years honing their technical skills as well

I mean I love the Immortal but nah. He’s primarily only ever fought humans and super humans. There’s nowhere for him to learn the level of technical skills that Nolan has
