He’s incredibly powerful for an earthling. He’s a weak viltrumite. Ircc viltrumites get stronger with age until there’s a steep decline, and he’s around 20. I’m pretty sure Nolan is close to 1000, and hasn’t hit his decline yet. The whole season we watched him get beat up while he tried to do the right thing. That’s largely the theme of the story. Doing the right thing is often harder than not. I loved the comic. I really like kurtzman as a comic writer. Invincible is his love letter to the super hero genre. Later storielines play with a lot of tropes in fun ways. If it’s not your thing though, maybe just drop it?
And yet, in the series, he beats this lady vitrumite when apparently he stops holding back, which is absurd considering how many times earth was close to being destroyed and he ‘held back’. This is my issue, at least from what I saw, he either is super strong and holds back all the time or his power changes with the moon
That’s actually a key plot point. Mark comes back more durable every time he gets his ass put in hospital. What doesn’t kill him literally makes him stronger. Because he is constantly losing to galactic level threats instead of working with them, eventually he becomes the strongest one out there. (Also that scene meant to imply he had to quit acting like it was a boxing match and get vicious if he wanted to live)
You’re confusing Mark and Allen.
Mark, like other Viltrumites, trains, and gets more powerful with age. Beatings just hurt, they don’t do anything for his powers.
Allen, on the other hand, works like a Dragon Ball Saiyan, getting significantly stronger after each beating (and the closer he gets to dying the stronger he comes back).
No, I’m not. It’s the same for both. Just not so obvious early on for Mark. He ends up the strongest before he hits 40 because of this.
