It may be a cheap shot, but hey, it looks like Mark can at least stagger a Viltrumite now.
Okay, don't get me wrong, it's supremacist bullshit... but it's also kinda bars.
It is super interesting that the concept of time passing is a super prevalent theme in Invincible. There's a lot of examples of species that age differently, dimensions where time passes differently and just the general anxiety of time as a currency.
So, while I do think Mark v Nolan is the first proper "Invincible" style fight of the series... there's a case to be made that Thraxa is where Ryan really cemented his place as an all-time great for superhero fights. This is when "Invincible" style fights really take form.
Complete even with a surprise character return, in this case, Black Samson coming out of his coma with his powers returned. (Another reason I don't think this bit will make it into the show)
