COMIC SPOILERS
I'm not much past this part, but Cecils logic here is stupid.

Q&A
I'll never understand why they didn't plant anything inside his body as a failsafe. They showed they know how to do that. Or cut off all his limbs????
He’d still fly around like a angry chicken nugget
I really wish this was a storyline . Limbless Conk West flying around headbutting fools like E Honda's flying headbutt.
But he is no threat like that
Considering how they often fly thru buildings with ease I’m gonna say he is still a threat
Much less of a threat. Mark would subdue him pretty quick
And he could fly back to his home planet
did you forget what mark was able to do with no arms?
Remember what Omni-Man did to the Flaxans? He doesn’t need limbs to do that on Earth
r/BrandNewSentence
I did NOT need that image in my head
I wonder how viltrumites taste battered and fried
Based off their muscle density, probably literally unchewable, would have to swish around your mouth like a jawbreaker
Angry chicken nugget 😂😂😂

Exactly what I was thinking lol
Angry chicken nugget. 🤣🤣🤣
Bitin' his way to glory
I can not express enough how much joy this comment gave me
at that point he already had the sound frequency device. There's so much he could do.
maybe they tried that but the old man was DEAF IN THAT EAR
Maybe they couldn't penetrate his skin lol
They literally madesoldiers outa dead invincibles
I feel like Conk Westlove would be a lot harder to penetrate. Giggity.
Yeah, and it took them a while to do so because they couldn't penetrate their skin.
But that was still well before this point
Yeah but Sinclair was literally having to invent new tools to make it happen because their muscles were so dense.
Maybe the cells from dead invincibles are weaker after death
He’s a lot less durable than Conquest is
especially when their dead adn starting to rot
But his face was already torn open during his fight with Mark, it should have been easy to at least mess with his brain
Can a viltrumite's limbs even be cut off?
Yes - By another Viltrumite, easily.
So he just needed Mark to do it, was Mark unavailable for some reason? I’ve not read the comics.
I think Cecil wanted to keep it a secret from Mark. Can't remember why, but their relationship was always a bit rocky
I believe Cecil wanted a weapon against Mark (if he betrayed them like Omni-Man) and to experiment on Conquest to study Viltrumite weaknesses.Mark even looked at a fake body of Conquest that Cecil made to fake his death when Conquest was moved to study him. So Cecil lied to Mark after Invincible wanted proof that Conquest was dead since he knew Cecil was doing stupid things like this to prepare for threats.
Also for your other point yes Mark should be capable of cutting through other Viltrumites as this point. It’s mainly his desire to not kill that makes him hold back (So that he proves he’s not like his dad).
Mark thought the guy was dead! Cecil even had a fake corpse made up to conceal from Mark that he'd kept Conquest alive.
Mark thought Conquest was dead and after everything that it took to take him down, he would have been none too happy about him being alive. Conquest is the first villain that Mark actively tried to kill because he was too dangerous.
Mark isinitially a super pacifist at this point, I believe and probably wouldn’t kill him especially while the guy is unconscious/“unarmed”.
But yes Mark could behead the guy if the conditions were right. Also there’s the fact of Cecil doing Cecil shit.
Let's say he was
That was the robotic arm that Invincible destroyed in their fight.
Why'd he need a robotic arm in the first place?
EDIT: Wasn't asking how he lost his arm. Was pointing out that he lost an arm at all.
....Aaand why would he need a prosthetic in the first place? What was the original question?
The guy is literally missing half his arm
Yeah, they could have put a bomb in his head As that is shown to work against an alternate universe, Mark when Robot kills him and abandoned teal Mark there. but I don't think they could have cut off the limbs DA Sinclair could barely break the skin or dead alternate universe Marks, who are likely weaker than Conquest and their bodies, were already decomposing, so that should have made cutting them easier.
The ear implant like what he had in marks earpiece
Plot
Foe some reason the equilibrium weakness isonly ever shown on Mark , they don't try it here with Conqueṣt, they get disregarded during the final battle due to Mark's throwaway line, it's like they only want to treat this as a weakness to Mark.
Either stupid or just really underestimated Conk West
Stupid, since like literally a few issues (maybe) marks benching that weight
well the max a person can lift is 500 kg but that same person prob couldn't break out of a 500 kg metal coffin, thats still stupid tho since viltrumites are another breed of strength
The real issue is the fact that Viltrumites can fly. Yeah a human can’t break out of 500 kg coffin, but they probably could do a lot better than you think if they can create their own opposing force out of nothing.
that's just because we aren't very durable. the case is entirely different for viltrumites, cecil should have known this
No. Its much harder to generate the force required to break metal than lift it - especially if you're already in an awkward position where you can't push against anything, e.g stretched out spread eagle. As another comment says, the real differentiator is that Viltrumites can fly - Omni-Man even tells Mark this when he first gets his powers.
Also conquest is clearly stronger than mark, and yet Cecil didn’t account for the difference
ah yes. Conk West. My favourite Invincible's villain
Oh my God I just understood the name
And you just totally tipped me off.
I still don’t.
Conk West = Conkwest = phonetic spelling of a future bad guy's name.
Say it out loud. Conk West. Conquest.
Conk West
in the timeline where Mark rewrites his story they show that they have the assets to keep Omni-man imprisoned (a mentally remorseful Omni-man, not a raging Omni-man), probably the Cecil of the original timeline possesses similar assets but has not calculated that Conquest's physical strength is greater than Nolan's
The device used to hold Conquest was made using Mark's strength level. They didn't take into account that other vitrumites we're a lot stronger than Mark for some reason.
I’m glad Kanye gave his youngest child a more reasonable name.
He also flirts with Mark's ex
why does that rhyme with
I'll never understand why Cecil didn't just tell invincible "We are burying the body in the desert in steel." And then "We thought he was dead! And then he just broke out of the containment we put the body in!"
Mark isn’t stupid, the moment he broke out he’d realize Cecil lied and betrayed him. Mark knows Cecil would be searching for any sign of life after everything that had happened
Yeah hes naive, but he would immediately think it was Cecil 100% regardless if it were true or not
I thought they only kept his head at first, but I guess not, Cecil is dummy stupid dumb and let him regenerate all his wounds
They need their heart to live too
Then take his arms and legs
How? I mean I guess it's comic logic, so they aren't penetrable when they are conscious but are when they are in a coma
Turn him into a brain like they did with robot
Imagine a brain blindly flying around out of spite 💀
Cecil did a stupid in this case
This is a silly. This is a silly and danger.
He underestimated the power of Conk West
