Lucian had his problems with Viktor because he didn't want to take the chance of being beaten before he could spite him by making a hybrid.
And while he did get taken down by a single bullet, it was a prototype designed to pump a crazy amount of silver directly into a Lycan's bloodstream. Viktor would have gone down the same way if they'd come up with a UV bullet like that. Even then though, it took a while for it to kill him.
I really don't care enough for Underworld to go into a rage about them loosing but they do indeed loose, I think. Well considering that the TwiWolves are supposed to be almost as fast as the vampires in Twilight and just as strong, I'd give it to them.
I'm just guessing when I say all of this so if I'm wrong I appologize.

Physically Twilight vampires are relatively strong compared to some vampires, and fast, but that's the only real advantage they have, and sometimes not even then, depending on the vampires in question.
The Twilight vampires are more durable than Underworld vamps, yeah, being basically immune to bullets, and in most cases are stronger.
IMO though the top-tiers of Underworld, like Marcus, are > the Twivamps, at least any Twivamp I know of.
But what happened to the whole running at 200 mph thing that was going around and being able kill horsesized wolves with superstrength.
I'm just very confused right now, I mean if Lucien and Victor were kind of equal and assuming Victor could take on a Twivamp, then wouldn't that make Lucien or older werewolves a match for the Skin-walkers?

Hey guys, is it ever stated that Lycans grew stronger with age? It has always been in my view that werewolves did not become stronger with age unlike vampires (not specifically talking about Underworld).The fact that William and Lucian are special Lycans/Werewolves makes it even harder to work out.
They all came from Corvin and he was said to be strong enough to stop Marcus who was a hybrid at that point. It was indeed confirmed that the elder Corvinas gave Selene a big boost in physical ability including regen.
Back in the day...William was too strong for even the vampires to take down. In the future...it is debatable on whether or not they could take him down because he laid dormant for what...1000 years?
So you could be right about Lycans not advancing. It would appear that they are just "strong" period. Oh, and, Viktor appears to be much stronger after his resurrection in the first film than in Rise of the Lycans. So vamps and immortals progress but Lycans appear not to. This is pure speculation and since the novel of "Rise of the Lycans" says that both brothers were immortal before their animals bites, it would be likely that Lycans progress with ability the older they get, as well.

Haven't seen the film in years, but iirc, he was shot with many, many, many bullets and couldn't do that flex-and-melt-the-bullets-out move he had done earlier in the hallway.Wouldn't surprise me if you're right though, shit films like these often care little over continuity.
The difference, iirc, was one were just silver and the other were liquid silver which quickly infused with the Lycan's blood killing them more quickly. The liquid silver was an "amp" the vamps figured out with their technological advances. Awesome, imo.
I love the shit out of the series, btw. Sure, I don't give any but the first film a 9, but it is a great series.
HOLY SHIT! bwhahahahah

Eh, I wouldn't argue Viktor against a Twivamp, due to their durability.
I might argue Marcus though. Maybe. If I ever gave a shit. I probably wouldn't.
