I thought that he's only like 70% Viltrumite DNA or something? So I guess his power ceiling might be lower than Mark who's like 98%, but also he ages crazy fast, and older Viltrumites are stronger, so maybe he'll overtake Mark for a bit but die of old age before Mark has a chance to age/train into getting stronger, but Mark would outclass him long term?
I would assume mark will outclass him long term but as you said there might be a brief period where oliver overtakes him. If he continues to age at the same rate he should be biologically 30 when marks 21. But all that’s speculation right now 🤷♂️
the fact he couldnt even keep up when conquest was doing his series of punching mark in the air the man flew punched slowed down flew punched again and oliver couldnt even keep up
That's the thing – he didn't know that. If he did, he wouldn't even try stepping in. He hadn't encountered anyone stronger than him until that point and didn't have a great idea about his limitations. In the end he proved to be a liability.
The way they animated the impact of that strike and Oliver's reaction was fantastic - you can tell by the look on his face that he's thinking he's never been hit even 1/10th as hard as that in his entire life.
Conquest almost ripping Oliver in half was the most compelling animated clip I’ve ever seen. I felt this fight outdid Invincible/Omni Man. The last 2 episodes of season 3 were so good.
I love too that the second punch he took actually had a delayed response, bro wasn't shocked from getting tossed through several buildings, but was absolutely horrified when he puked up all his teeth.
genuinely good that oliver was finally humbled, he had never fought a real life threatening villain and now he’ll realize it isn’t always fun and games to be a hero, just like mark had to find out. It sucks that the person humbling him was fully ready to rip him in half (and probably eat his heart, something tells me conquest doesn’t lie) instead of someone less vicious.
That’s mostly what I meant, Oliver had only gone up against maulers, elephant man, and a phony invincible (he had a lot of help with this one). Conquest is an entirely different beast, even someone like Omniman would struggle in a 1v1.
