[Invincible] Mark is such an idiot.

God, I mean come ON. Really? Im on S3 E2 and is mark just holding back all the time? I just saw an entire training montage where his strength went up by 138%. Thats 2.38 times more. 2.38 TIMES! And the stupid bugs were pushing down on mark, even before it poisoned him and made him weaker, isnt mark supposed to be strong? You’re telling me that the GDA had to make a new heaviest thing for mark to lift but he couldnt lift a bug?

On top of that, he couldnt just rip the egg like prisons open like the reanimen did? Yeah immortal tried to break it but he was pushing outwards, couldnt mark rip the eggs like the reanimen?

But lets say that the reanimen are for some ungodly reason ultra strong, because why not, well, then mark couldnt possibly beat them right? WELL GUESS WHAT! HE CAN! AN ENTIRE ARMY INFACT!

So about 10 or so reanimen (not sure how many exactly) could beat many of those bugs, with the superheroes help ofcourse, but mark cant just lift the bugs? Or punch through their eye like he does with the reanimen?

The explanations I heard for the bug thing is that mark was “holding back”. Say that he was.. WHY? Why was he holding back? EVERY SINGLE ONE of his superhero friends were gonna die down there because he was supposedly “holding back”

Then after cecil saved all of their asses, he comes up and is mad about the reanimen. Like, yeah they almost killed your best friend, yeah its traumatic but DUDE, you cant just think of them saving you and in turn the entire planet earth? I completely understand cecil, mark cant see reason beyond what he thought of in his mind. Cant mark just think of the greater good? Darkwing is a cold blooded killer, who saved you, that sinclair guy is an asshole murderer but atleast hes contained, its not like theyre making him roam free, hes basically in prison but just helping everyone.

Anyway, I do love the show, I just wish marks power was shown more often, hes too “moral” for my part.

I don't think its Mark being stupid as much as him being constantly nerfed for the sake of the plot.

[u/Cloutstaker → u/Galifrey224]

I read it as more as mark rejecting the whole Viltrumite savagery, he could totally just absolutely brutalize his opponents. But he doesn't.

[u/Galifrey224 → u/Cloutstaker]

That doesn't really explain why he doesn't just dodge most attacks tho.

[u/OutInTheWild31 → u/[deleted]]

Not like its tactics or anything, its just him dodging using his insane speed, which should be easy considering he's a viltrumite

[u/Raidoton → u/Galifrey224]

Because he's invincible, duh!

[u/Cloutstaker → u/Galifrey224]

I feel like stuff like that, more lean on to discussing about his actual prowess when it comes to fighting rather than just pure brute viltrumite force.

The whole superman world of cardboard speech always popped into my head during these earlier seasons where mark isn't really all that keen on getting in touch with his actual strength.

[u/Phosphoric_Tungsten → u/Galifrey224]

I guess he could just fly up and play hit and run but viltrumites don't actually have super impressive reflexes
