The way Kirkman writes those superhuman battles... I'd say Glads is in trouble...

Why is it a no contest? I seem to remember Invincible being able to make Thragg bleed.

Galan007
Even though Mark 'making him bleed' certainly isn't a low showing, you probably don't want to try and lowball Thragg when a character like Gladiator is in the other corner. smile

Anyway, Thragg >> Invincible ~/< Omni-Man = mean Supreme. That's why he wins, no contest. thumb up

Could go either way.

And Supreme = Kallark

cdtm
Exactly.

Thragg >>> Omni-Man=Supreme=Kallark

Horrificus
Thragg wins. Gladiator will enjoy the new experience of burst organs, missing limbs and all the other neat things Thragg brings to the table.

Martian_mind
Thragg takes this handily.

Exactly.

Thragg >>> Omni-Man=Supreme=Kallark I think that everyone is doing their math wrong.
Thragg>>> omni-man+invincible+young omni-man+thadeus>>>>> supreme
Seriously, based off of his fight in the viltrumite war, thragg is easily a mid trans.

Thragg just straight up pulled Thaddeus' head off. Not even ripped, he did it so casually it was like pulling the head off a Barbie doll.

krisblaze
Thragg destroyed them, and he's probably stronger than Gladiator, but am I the only one who feels like this is something Superman or Majestic could do as well?

It just seems like Omni-Man or Invincible just need to get stronger and they'll take him down.

Maybe. A lot of people seem to think that Thragg is trans, I don't particularly agree with that. He's at the top of the heap for heralds. I just don't think Viltrumites have enough durability, or versatility to break into the trans tier, they more than make up for it with their insane damage soak, and strength against pretty much any Herald though.

I'm not trying to lowball anyone. I'm simply saying if Invincible can inflict a nosebleed couldn't Gladiator inflict a lot worse?

But where Nolan's strength is concerned: he is already strong enough to stalemate the most powerful version of Supreme by himself:

Heck, since Nolan regained consciousness first, I suppose you could argue that he technically won... But that's neither here nor there.



...And before anyone asks, Kirkman himself(the writer/creator of Invincible) regards the above battle as canon:

Khazra Reborn
^Is Supreme no longer part of the Image universe? If so, I don't see why it would be considered non-canon. Kirkman reaffirming it is nice at any rate.

Galan007
No, it was still published under the Image brand. I've just seen people question it in the past because it occurred outside of the Invincible title, and Larsen's Supreme seemed to take place within its own little continuity.

Anyway, not only does Kirkman himself recognize the Nolan/Supreme battle as canon, but it also occurred in Supreme's own series--a series where Larsen wanked 'mean' Supreme like f*cking crazy... Damned uber showing for Nolan. smile

celeyhyga17
Nice scans. Thragg is a monster. And questions about his durability though understandable can be explained easily. These Viltrumites(and BBeast) are upper tiered beings easily in the class 100 range. Receiving damage from them is not really a low showing. That damage soak though is ridic. Plus Gladz though an upper tiered strong man himself, has been injured by like level individuals.

Did battle beast job? Especially given his last battle against thragg

Just look at characters like the hulk. He's one of the top high heralds and he can easily jump into the trans tier when necessary but he doesn't have that much speed and certainly lacks in versatility. Also, if thragg is a high herald, what does that make omni-man and invincible (two characters that only a few pages prior to this fight, flew through a planet with ease)? Thragg might have the durability of a herald, but his strength and speed definitely seem to be on the level of most trans characters and he (like all other viltrumites) has an insanely fast healing factor to boot.

Same can be said about Thragg. Did he job in their one on one? We average it out. BBeast had a solid showing vs a guy who is generally considered above him. In the end Thragg killed BBeast. Thragg >>> BBeast if we take the whole picture.

Hulk isn't a cream of the crop HH really though, IMO, and he definitely isn't anywhere within sniffing distance of trans.

It was cool when Nolan, Mark, and Thaddeus destroyed Viltrim, but there was definitely an asterisk next to that one due to Space Rider and his gun destabilizing the planet.

It's more likely BB's power just wasn't really fully established yet.

As mentioned: Space Racer's raygun destabilized Viltrum's core just prior to them flying through it. However, they obviously still had to fly through the planet in order to destroy it, thus it should still be regarded as a great strength/durability showing, imo... Especially given that they survived the subsequent explosion relatively unscathed.

Anyway, Nolan and Mark are definitely HH-level in terms of speed/strength... Which puts Thragg solidly in the trans-tier in those areas as well, imo.

I dunno. I kinda agree with khaz. I dont think he was fleshed out enough. And their initial battle wasnt concluded. He was tossed aside true but i think he was left out for plot reasons.

Its personal opinion tbh. Hulk is said to be the most powerful being on earth and has the fts backing it up.

Strongest maybe. Definitely not the most powerful, especially considering you had guys like Molecule Man running around at the time.

StiltmanFTW
To be fair, Molecule Man is the biggest pussy in the Marvel Universe.

You yell at him, he will fellatio you. Always worked that way.

Khazra Reborn
Personality aside, there's no comparison power wise between Hulk and Owen.

Of course. But everybody knows that, it doesn't need to be said stick out tongue

Well, it was said (on multiples of occasions). Dont think it can get any clearer imo. Hell, didn't Aaron say in an interview that Hulk is one of the most powerful being in the Universe? They have much love for the character. Cant wait to see the Jane and Hulk fight. It was also referenced recently that Hulk withstood something that would've killed any being on the planet.

True

He's powerful as f*ck, but he's nothing compared to the guys like Beyonder, Owen, Korvac, Zarathos, Mephisto or Galactus.

Galan, explain uhuh There's really no explanation aside from the scans I posted above. From an in-universe POV: their first battle was never truly finished. From a more realistic POV: Kirkman probably just wanted to give BB an epic send-off.

Either way, the strength/speed/damage-soak they displayed during their dayS-long battle was f*cking unreal. thumb up

Indeed. Why would you even bother trying to say crap like that about a brick, when there's universal reality warpers on the planet.

First fight was more of a bfr. I don't think BB can fly, so Thragg threw him far into space (Don't ask me how BB managed to move around the space arena).

Also, I believe it was hinted BB gets stronger the longer he fights. He's sort of a Klingon version of One Punch Man, in that he's so ridiculously powerful that few can even fight him, let alone kill him. When you live to fight and die gloriously, being that stong's kind of a curse.

So Thragg was doing him a favor. I bet BB would even laugh from the afterlife about being turned into a fur coat.. "Well met, warrior. Well met!"

Could've sworn Strange admitted Hulk is more powerful than him during infinity.

cdtm
Strange stood up to the Infinity Gauntlet. wink

With prep, sure, but his average is "one shot a Herald of Galactus... and then floor Galactus himself".
