I mean, it's either that way - where it can't actually infect any cells in a human because it's so wildly different to what it normally infects. Or, it goes the complete opposite way and will wipe us out with incredible efficiency because we can't fight back against it and it's something we've never experienced before. It's really just a coin flip.

No, it isn't a harem. This nun isn't even a love interest and nor will she ever be. Just felt like making her be pretty, I guess.

He won't be doing anything like fighting during this weakened period. I just couldn't remember how long the Scourge Virus kept them weak, so I played it safe. There's gonna be a timeskip to when he's fully recovered next chapter anyway.

He's not as strong as Nolan, no. But he's definitely stronger than Mark was at the start of Invincible. Because of his younger age, he's weaker than the average ***** Viltrumite (which would probably be around 800+ years old) but he's growing quickly due to his bloodline. For reference, he could do the cruise liner feat on his own and with no outside assistance.

Read the next chapter. It explains how he took down the Viltrumites. If you had any prior knowledge of how the Viltrumites were originally wiped out in 'Invincible', it should be pretty obvious how Thanos pulled it off with his lackluster army. He used his brain and looked for a weakness. Which, like I said, is explained in the next chapter.

Normal Earth poisons, sure. But bio-engineered poisons from space could probably do it. Remember, they said Viruses did nothing in the show as well, and both of us know that's not the case. It's just that Earth's technology is far behind what can possibly infect/hurt a Viltrumite.

Oh, Thragg probably could, yeah. But the average Viltrumite is far from being on Thragg's level.

Just let him go. If he wants to complain about something and then drop it because of his own assumptions, he can. No skin off my back, is it?

It'll heal on it's own. He just needs to rest a little.

Honestly a fair point lol.

I've never watched it, so I probably won't.

He's the Viltrumite equivalent of a 20-year-old Human. So, yeah, young *****hood is about right.

Yep. I'd rather not mess up someone's name and I had the time, so I counted the nine O's and the two 0's at the end. ...I promise, it's not as sad as it sounds lmao.

Yes.

They aren't planet buster level. Why does everyone think this? It took three incredibly strong Viltrumites to destroy a single planet. A planet that had it's core destabilized because if it hadn't, the planet wouldn't have been destroyed. Besides, you're completely missing the picture of what Thanos could do to the Viltrumites to invade them. Scourge Virus to cull their numbers and weaken those that survive, then broadcast a frequency of sound that is known to give Viltrumites crippling pain as you invade. The Viltrumites would be wiped out by non-Infinity Gauntlet Thanos if he followed those steps. Which he did.

It's because he was mentored by Thragg that he's taking the most strategic decision possible. He's going to guarantee the safety of his future relationships so they can't be used against him in any form of blackmail.

I mean, you're right - but I would like to point out that the average Viltrumite is far from planet-busting level lol. It took three exceptionally strong Viltrumites (Mark, Nolan and Thaedus) to destroy one planet and that planet wouldn't have been destroyed if it weren't for it's core being destabilized prior to them ramming through it. The average Viltrumite is probably around Thor's level in terms of strength and quicker in terms of speed. Which means Thanos could easily kill a few Viltrumites - and with an army of millions and millions of fodder following him, he could eventually fight a war of attrition that would kill any Viltrumite. Besides, like OOOOOOOOO00 said, the Scourge Virus could have already wiped out most of the Viltrumites before the attack began. Which would've left a few hundred Viltrumites alive. A few thousand if we're being generous.

*cough* post-Scourge Virus Viltrum *cough* *cough*--Ah, man, I sure am coughing a lot lately...

No, please continue with the comments. I enjoy reading them because they help get my brain working and thinking about the story. I was gonna say: who's to say Thanos didn't make the Scourge Virus and release it on Viltrum before he staged his attack? Theo's royal bloodline would eventually give him immunity to the base version of the virus but it'll still have weakened him and the other Royals enough that Thanos could swoop in and kill 'em. But you're already aware of the possibility, so I won't go too far into it :) As per the title of the story, I'm using the MCU storyline but I'm pushing for the characters to have their comic-level of power. The MCU nerfed everyone hard, and I'm thinking to buff them up a little bit. So, while Thanos isn't as strong as his comic book counterpart, he isn't as weak as his MCU version. Think of a happy in-between. And with the Scourge Virus thrown into the mix, Thanos could definitely win if he played his cards right.

He's not at his peak. Far from it, actually. He's just been trained by someone and the effects are obvious.
