He's only half viltrumite so shouldn't he only be half as strong as them? it doesn't make sense
>>220343473It follows the same logic of Dragon ball where half-breeds = stronger
>>220343498It's like Dragon Ball Z but gay.
>>220343473They address this in the comics, retard-kun
>>220343531care to enlighten us all then faggot
>>220343473A liger is half lion and half tiger, but bigger and stronger than either.
>>220343498Half-Viltrumites aren't stronger than full ones though. They seem to be about the same.I don't recall there being any specific explanation for it other than humans just being a really good genetic match for Viltrumites.
>>220343473Blade is the son of a vampire and a human, and retains all strengths of each side and none of their weaknesses.
>>220343583They are also retarded and live less
He's ''nearly full-blooded'', as Noland says, because of how dominant Viltrumite genes are.
>>220343611Moving goalposts
>>220343473His powers come from manipulating his atoms, not his muscles.
>>220343498>>220343522>>220343602Hes actually considered a full viltrumJust like Gohan is a saiyan even if he is "half human", the alien genetics are stronger
>>220343611Exactly. Mark has retard strength.
>started comics today >at vol7 >so far is meh>will continue tomorrow >hope it gets better >maybe will watch the show if comics get good
The real reason is the author is a liberal faggot
>>220343602there is a trope in scifi that humans are the genetically superior breeding stock of the entire galaxy, and able to to breed with literally any other alien species
>>220343610he's also black
Why do Viltrumites look like humans? All the other aliens are clearly non-human.
>>220343634>Just like Gohan is a saiyan even if he is "half human", the alien genetics are strongerThe whole point of Gohan is that he's a half breed and his Human emotions allow him to tap deeper into his Saiyan power
>>220343700Even more overpowered.
>>220343473Viltrumite genes are very dominant, which is why the half-bug Viltrumites just look like regular Viltrumite but with purple skin. Human genes are very compatible with Viltrumites too, so they're even better than the bug ones.
>>220343735Maybe you should ask why humans looks like Viltrumites.
>>220343555Viltrumites are genetically engineered to completley override the DNA of any alien lifeform. Oliver completly loses his purple skin and becomes a pure viltrumite. Its just that retard Viltrum Empire never allowed a hybrid to mature enough to survive trial by combat.
trannies are only half men but you claim they are 100% men, isn't this the same ?
>>220343473Omniman explained that he hybrids become more viltrumite with age, he is basically a pure viltrumite his genes are so dominant that overwrite the non-viltrum ones
>>220343792>100% of something is of equal strength to 99% of somethingeven the premise doesn't make any sense, and mark is clearly a hapa because his mom is asian, do you know how much sense that doesn't make
>>220343830Hes a blue eyed aryan in the comic, dont take the woke slop amazon shit as gospel and pretend you arent retarded
>itt brazilian goblinosdon’t watch goy slop
>>220343654The comic gets very repetitive imo. I read it and then never went back to the show past S1.
>>220343895we're on the /tv/ board retard we're talking about the show not your gay comicbook
>>220343786Okay, I'm asking. Why do humans look like Viltrumites?
>>220343473Vilts dna pretty much overwrote his dna. The only difference is his powers came faster and he has am adrenaline gland. It’s why he can’t briefly become more powerful than much older vilts
>>220343473he is the grandson of the former emperor, he has special noble genes that makes him better than everyone else
>>220343978…, because they looked throughout the galaxy for aliens who looked like them and most likely humans are an off shoot that was lost. Why don’t you just use google.
>>220343473Invincible's kind of dumb but hybrids are fuckin' weird in general. Depending on if the lion is the father or mother, the hybrid of a lion and tiger comes out entirely different. Mules for example get all of that donkey stubbornness and bravery but with a more horse-like stature, though they're worse runners (albeit still better than donkeys). Problem is they're sterile.
>>220343821I’m only replying because the blatant false equivalency combined with the stupid frog image made me laugh
>>220343962>>220343555
Truth is Invincible is a dog shit Dragon Ball wannabe with lame my feelings plots, ugly illustrations, and ugly animation.
>>220344149it's like if dragon ball was actually intelligent and not 90% filler
>>220343654Bro the comic never gets better than the intro arc. The show is the only way I'd sit through the rest of that shit.
>>220344197It's a more boring, more uninteresting Dragon Ball Z copy. You've never watched DB or Z apparently.
>>220343978Batesian mimicry
>>220343473I wish I was Conquest bros>Get left the fuck alone>Get to fuck up planets>Probably really in to rape just because I can
>>220345052>being old in viltrumite society means you're strong>is just sidelined as a gruntI imagine that fucked with his head
>>220344197Yeah Dragon Ball needs scenes where Chichi aborts Goku's child and Vegeta learns to talk about his feelings like better men should.
>>220345450>dialogue and lore is bad>character development is badlisten to yourself, are you black?
>>220345450The abortion really mindbroke you sad cucks, didn't it.
Why are people pretending dbz was good?
>>220345697DBZ was amazing you pleb
>>220343473That's as fucking stupid as saying the son of white woman & black man will have a smaller penis than his father because he's only half black. Genes don't work like that moron.
>>220343473It's like in real life where mixing between different races creates stronger offspring
>>220344197>intelligentYou must be 18 to post here
>>220343498Plus Hercules, Achilles, Blade
>>220343700He actually has no special "daywalker" powers at least going by the movie's logic; Deacon Frost can walk around at noon with nothing more than a liberal slathering of suncream and a thick leather jacket setting the precedent that the sun damage is easily overcome by physical occlusion/spectral absorption/reflection, it's actually just the melanin that makes Blade a daywalkerAlso I thought he wasn't the son of a vampire with a human but rather an infected foetus (or is that just the movie)
>>220343473Human x Viltrumite = 99.9% Viltrumite
>>220345494>>220345505It's shitty melodrama no one cares about.
>>220345494invincible is a shitty soap opera disguised as a cool cartoon
IN THE COMIC Thragg fucks mantis aliens and they explain that viltrumite DNA basically almost completely overwrites other DNA:
>>220343735Why do Kryptonians look like humans? That's where this all started.
>>220343473Half viltrumite become full blood viltrumites as they age. It been explained a million times. Viltrumite always overpowers the host DNA that's why there where searching for compatible species. In this case Humans.
>>220343735theory has it that humans became Viltrumites in the future and some time related shenanigans occurred. The current story takes place in an alternate timeline where some Viltrumites (formally humans) travelled back in time. Thragg essentially won in the end.
So, there were like 50 Viltrimites left. Why couldn't they just have sex with each other and repopulate?The original settlers (colonials) rarely had more than 5-6 families. And now there's billions of them.
>>220343647The Conquest bite and crazed look now make more sense
>>220343654It is a genuinely pretty meh comic series. It has its moments so I still recommend it, but despite the show’s many failings it is nonetheless an improvement most of the time.
>>220345830Amazing up until around Mr Satan shows up, then the it starts to fall off and then completely drops off a cliff when Buu comes along.
>>220343611Nah that's you
>>220344326NTA but DB was the first anime I really cared about and I’ve seen every godforsaken episode of virtually everything out of it. I certainly wouldn’t say that Invincible is better than Dragonball 1-to-1, but it DOES have plot points that are better than its inspiration imo. The presence of numerous viltrumites heavily raises the stakes and keeps the plot interesting, for example, and it’s a shame that their existence along with so many plot points were discarded so readily by Toriyama. I find myself often seeing material from Invincible and think about how it could have been adapted for some cool plot or battles in DB and vice versa.
>>22034664350 people is not nearly enough to form a sustainable population without suffering from the effects of inbreeding after generations. That said, I have no idea why Viltrumite DNA would be susceptible to this. Don’t think about it too much, the entire idea of billions dying and no one noticing there are only 50 left for a thousand years is fucking stupid on its face.
>>220346643Nevermind, I Googled it. Thx for the help... NOTAnyway, Viltrimites fear inbreeding 50 people would cause their genes to be weak. And there's only 2 noted females amongst them. It's much more efficient for them right now to crossbreed. Thraxxans can breed quick too. But their too inferior to fuck.
>>220346433Kryptonians are future humans that settled on a planet with a red sun.
>>220343749I don't recall any talk about any of that shit, or him being stronger because he's half human, for that matter. He was just considered someone with very high potential and there was never really an answer given in genetics or his mindset or anything.
>>220346944Thx! Good point about nobody noticing they lost a billion Viltrimites. But they were all planetbound. I doubt many aliens are flying to their neck of the woods for a vacation. Either way, the Saturn Ring with corpses was kino!
The fight scenes are cool i just skip the drama and read the episode synopsis off the wikki afterwards,
>>220343978Comic suggests they have some sort of ancient common ancestors.
>>220343978Initially, just because a lazy author. Retroactively, some allusions to some ancient humans being abducted by advanced ancient ayylmaos and being experimented on to superhuman exaltation
>>220347041Yeah that’s true that shit was metal. I think as long as it fulfills rule of cool I don’t mind.
>>220343473Half-viltrumites start weaker, but after puberty their Viltrumite genetics take over, and they're as strong as a pure Viltrumite. See: Oliver.
>>220347776>See: Oliver.Yeah, I see Oli. Getting his ass kicked in every fight.
>>220343498Only one of them is even stronger than average in dragon ball, and it's entirely due to author favoritism instead of anything logical.
>>220346643Why didn't they just clone their egg and sperm and plant embryos in genetically compatible aliens to produce surrogate babies? You would get full-breeds instead of half-breeds.
>>220348063>Only one of them is even stronger than average in dragon ballJJK zoomers are really this bad at reading?
>>220348083Cloning?! The only two people who knew how to do that are both DEAD. Thanks Oli.>>220347954I take back what I said, Oli fucked the Maulers up!
>>220348063Goten and Trunks are stupidly stronger than their dads at their age. These two dumb kids could already go super saiyan.
>>220343654If you’re not liking it by the 1st conquest fight, drop it. You won’t like anything after and it gets objectively worse pass Thragg’s introduction
>>220348486Is the comic book completely finished/done? How many seasons do we have left? No spoilers.
>>220348312That's because of power scaling in the story going mental so they have to be that strong to be considered characters, not because of hybridization being stronger. There's no pure saiyans their age to compare them to.
>>220348539>There's no pure saiyans their age to compare them to.there's goku and kid vegeta, who were both laughably weaker than them at their agesthen again we could argue that the fact goku and vegeta got ssj before birthing them made them stronger
>>220348521it finished BUT their is now a spin off based on the battle beast character that started semi recently.
>>220343634Then why is he a happa?
>>220348552>there's goku and kid vegetaWhat part of "That's because of power scaling in the story going mental so they have to be that strong to be considered characters" did you not understand?>then again we could argue that the fact goku and vegeta got ssj before birthing them made them strongerGoku went super against the guy who was kicking his son's ass. What?
I wonder how many of the posts in this thread (including the OP) are that one seething tranny that won't shut the fuck up about this show and is here literally every fucking day whining about it.In case you're wondering, the first post here to bring up DBZ, that's them.
>>220348590Thanks.
>>220343473Isn't it something about him having adrenal glands, something Viltrumites don't have?
>>220346558Isn't that like a "I'm my own grandfather" type paradox
>>220343473I never read the book but I assumed it was the same Allen the Alien thing where he got stronger the more he got his ass beaten, and because Viltrumites never really lost fights they never got that much stronger.
>>220343498The half saiyans haven't stonger since Cell. Gohon is the jobber of the 21st century.
>>220343700Well no one is perfect.
I think I recall something in Dragon Ball Z that said Gohan could potentially be stronger than Goku but only when angry because being half-human allowed him to get overpowered.I was watching the second episode of S1 a few minutes ago and Mark got stronger outta nowhere when Eve was about to be executed by the Flaxans.
>>220343473
>>220343602i dont watch the show because the animation is terrible but that's how it works in the comics. Half breeds are stronger
>>220343749part of that is Gohan is the grandson of King Ox the canonical strongest human to ever live (i guess krillin surpasses him in dbz) His sayian DNA enhances that
>>220350563Gosh I wish she raped me. Multiple times.
>>220347028That's the reason Gohan could go crazy, through his human emotions.
>>220350612>His sayian DNA enhances thatHis emotional human side is the reason he can tap into crazy Saiyan strength. Vegeta points this out I think during Cell stuff. Gohan gains most of his power through rage and protectiveness not training.
>>220350887Through rage, you say?I wonder if Toriyama ever intended to link Gohan to Broly at some point? Broly's weird power/potential is linked to his rage. I could see them setting up an ultra-trifecta based on different things, where you have ultra-instinct, ultra-ego, and then Beast Gohan and Broly being precursors to a third 'ultra-rage' state.Then Goku masters all three because of course he does.
>>220350887>rageAs we all know, Goku was never angry at Frieza and Vegeta has never been angry in his life.
>>220343792wouldn't that make them just clones of their Vitrumite parents?
>>220346423>Thragg fucks mantis aliensYou act like you wouldn't.
>>220351018Why are you attempting to argue with DBZ canon lol?
>>220351097You're the one ignoring it by pretending that neither Goku nor Vegeta felt emotions.
>>220351018Being angry doesn't fuel their power like it does for Gohan.
>>220351107Being angry made Goku the first Super Saiyan (shown).
>>220343473you neglect how strong the womyn he was born from must be
>>220351126Goku being angry at Krillon dying gave him the bump to become super saiyan. He doesn't stay angry or continue getting power boosts from his rage. He even gives Frieza multiple chances to walk away without dying. His anger doesn't keep pumping up his power. Gohan anger pumps up his power non-stop. It's where Gohan gets all of his strength, through his different emotional states. I don't fault you for thinking it's the same.
Watching ep3 right now and its fun but I cant tell if all the political stuff is purposefully tongue in cheek in a parody way or not (I'm not pol brained so ill still enjoy the show but couldn't help but notice)
>>220343978Viltrumites' powers stem from "Smart Atoms" which were genetically engineered into the Viltrumite population thousands of years agoIt's actually quite likely that the Viltrumites and Humans share a common ancestor. Maybe some aliens abducted a bunch of 100,000BC humans and the humans revolted and took over their tech and turned themselves into Viltrumites. Or maybe some pre-smart-atom Viltrumites crashed into Earth and were never able to escape.Or maybe it's just a crazy coincidence
>>220343473They literally say that the viltrumite genes are so strong that they overwrite the original genes. That's why mark aged to teenage years in a normal amount of time, and why oliver gets less and less purple.Not sure if this is headcanon or not, but I've heard people says that Mark as a half human gets adrenaline boosts so that's what can sometimes give him an edge against other viltrumites.
>>220350887Gohan is a special case because he inherited Chi-Chi's rage and possibly some amount of magic from her lineage (through Ox King)
>>220352771>Not sure if this is headcanon or not, but I've heard people says that Mark as a half human gets adrenaline boosts so that's what can sometimes give him an edge against other viltrumites.This was fanon for a long time; people assumed the viltrumite genes/smart atoms wouldn't override anything that made them stronger, and adrenaline is a big boostConquest also at one point says "getting angry doesn't make you stronger" only to be proven wrong by Mark getting stronger when he's angrier - which is what happens because of adrenaline - and was considered to be good writing and foreshadowing as well as part of an explanation as to how Mark can keep getting stronger (not just accounting for his relatively young age)Then the writer straight up said "nah that's wrong lol" and people rightfully ignore him because authors can indeed be wrong about their own work - half of this thread is about Dragon Ball, and Toriyama is infamous for being wrong about and even forgetting major parts of his own work
