QUESTION Do you think a hero with four of these powers could beat Thragg?

u/DisMFer May 03 '26
This is basically just a Viltrumite with high-level electrical powers.

u/Asking-is-a-crime May 03 '26 edited May 03 '26
And super speed far greater than any viltrumite. Yes they are fast. But not THAT fast.
Edit: red rush runs around the planet and fights various crimes in seconds, while still having a conversation with his girlfriend. Thragg is nowhere near that level.

u/SpaceCore0352 May 03 '26
Thragg might be that fast. When he decided to kill Thaedus, the good guys could barely react.

u/themosquito May 03 '26
From what we’ve seen, seems like viltrumites have a high top speed but need some time to accelerate. Thragg (and Red Rush) seem able to accelerate almost immediately but might not have that much greater a top speed.

He didn't realize/notice what they were doing in time. When Space Racer pulls out his gun Thragg yells NO and speeds after them, and he almost gets there, but they make impact and the shockwave blasts him away

u/a3d13m May 03 '26
Probably scale, think about it theyre deep in space mid fight. They couldve been thousands of miles ahead of him before he realized what they were doing

u/trashbag1991 May 03 '26
I think he could have caught them but he was already so far behind them and the explosion from hitting the planet blew him in the other direction. It seemed like he was catching up pretty quickly.

We already know Red Rush's relative speed to Nolan.
We also know that Thragg is much faster than Nolan.
If Red Rush is faster than Thragg, the margin is very small.

u/Designer-Maximum6056 May 03 '26
Relative my ass, Red rush saw Nolan in slow motion and only got caught because he came in with a super predicable pattern

He couldve. His mistake was he went offense and got grabbed while punching the same spot over and over while standing still
12
u/ProbablythelastMimsy May 03 '26
Which means Nolan has to be at least somewhat similar in terms of speed. If we're going with "saw him in slow motion" then he just watched Nolan ever so slowly reach toward his hand and...let him grab it? Lol
No doubt Red Rush is faster, but not by a crazy margin. Thragg is considerably faster than Nolan.

u/old_incident_ May 03 '26
His speed can be greater than his perception, or maybe he did notice and just couldn't physically move out of the way

People keep saying dumb shit like this
We literally saw Red Rush carry on a conversation while being a hero and the only reason his partner caught on is he forgot to change his suit back
That feat alone DWARFS any speed feat of any other character
Red Flash is massively faster than anyone we’ve seen in verse including Thragg

u/Slightly_Infuriated May 03 '26
It doesn’t reconcile the fact that Omni Man’s hands just, what, slowly move centimeter by centimeter on his head and I guess he just watched?

u/JasonKelceStan May 03 '26
Omni predicted where red rush would be
You are slower than a fly, if you swat where you think it’s gonna enough you are going to hit the fly
Also you are talking about the scene like it took time
Omni man clapped and the guy was mist
In the span of that clap he punched Nolan thousands of times again a feat no one in the series has come close to

u/codegavran May 03 '26
It's simply inconsistent no need to twist knots trying to justify it. Viltrumites don't even move fast enough to do a speed change that you wouldn't notice, Red Rush is fast enough to do every other part of fighting crime and forget the costume change faster than you can notice.
Nolan caught him and killed him because the plot said he would, there's simply no other way someone that can move and react that quick gets 'predicted' and caught, you're only catching them if you make literally every other option impossible/equally deadly.

That’s were the discussion breaks down. You’d have to fly 1000x the speed of light to fly to the next planet.
They are not flying that fast. So the discussion no longer makes sense
2
u/sir_basher May 03 '26
Yes indeed, but maybe smh viltrumites are able to manipulate gravity given that they can fly. So possibly means they can use that to theoretically go faster then light.
Id still say viltrumites are technically faster then redrush just because we really havent seen his full potential.

Not really, you can just ignore him
Unless.... you do it smart
You go from enemy to enemy, you can even let machines be build to inflict physical harm to you. Then you just need to be smarter than powerplex and never release your energy
And when you have enough, you one-shot thragg. Didn't work? Doesn't matter. You just need to collect energy again, this time collect more.
The only thing that could stop you, is someone who physically traps you, so you can't escape and can't collect energy.

u/Representative-Fox55 May 03 '26
Brit and Powerplex is god like combo, he’d be able to absorb infinite energy. He’d probably be able to destroy entire planets at a point

u/Asking-is-a-crime May 03 '26
But he still needs to breathe air right? so he is severely limited still. And I can’t remember if power plex can fly, and if so, does it required atmosphere?
Edit: (And he still ages)
53
u/khronos127 May 03 '26
Yeah he’s shown being able to hover/fly using his hands to shoot electricity downwards.
And whether that requires atmosphere? Lightning requires atmosphere but if he’s producing it himself there’s no reason to believe he does. However I assume he’s producing some sort of magnetic force downward to fly since electricity on its own wouldn’t produce upwards force. That may mean he needs a surface to fly above.

It would still require a conduct. Electricity can't move in vacuum

u/khronos127 May 03 '26
That’s what I meant by lightning requires an atmosphere. Guess i should have said “bolts”. Electricity can be produced in a vacuum but not bolts. If he produces it and controls it then he’s producing something for it to conduct through. Otherwise it would randomly go in several directions like what we see with Tesla coils.

u/xKNYTEx Thaedus May 03 '26
I think it’d just be a stalemate. Having Brit’s powers plus Red Rush’s speed plus Immortal’s… well, immortality, means there’s nothing Thragg could really do to harm him.
However, given the kind of things Thragg was able to just shrug off, I doubt any attack from this character is strong enough to really affect Thragg either, given his strength level is about the Immortal’s which is less than even a Season 2 Mark and Powerplex’s energy blasts I don’t see being strong enough to do much.
But then again, maybe since it’s Brit + Powerplex there’s no cap to how much charge he could build up, meaning that he could eventually build up a charge powerful enough to even one-shot guys like Thragg and Battle Beast. Also, perhaps his Immortal-level strength is enhanced when given Red Rush’s speed.

u/Cannibalistic_Siteow May 03 '26
Powerplex is limited by what the metal discs can hold. He is reliant on that tech to store the power.
Powerplex is the conduit, but he needs bigger storage/batteries or else those big hits cap out at 100% charge.

u/xKNYTEx Thaedus May 03 '26
So then my initial theory would probably correct and they’d just stalemate

u/DeltaAlphaGulf May 03 '26
Realistically speed is the bigger factor to his punches so with Red Rush added who was able to make Nolan cough up blood in the fraction of time it took to crush his skull now with Immortals strength and Brits indestructible body he should be able to damage him even if it's an attrition thing. The problem is whether we get to apply Red Rushes speed to Immortals flight even though they don't technically overlap because otherwise he could play keep away. Also he may be able to grapple you and drag you to the sun or something or keep punches you toward it and tanking the hits you can return in each exchange. Note how much faster in flight Thragg was and how long it took Nolan to stop flying away after being punched (tbh I consider that more of an inconsistency thing as writers just don't acknowledge anyone with true flight like them don't magically lose it when knock away and even if the momentum was so much it took time to slow themselves they can also just fly with it and bank around instead of directly resisting it).

Your talking about a guy with super speed, super strength infinite durability can fly and any “damage” that they do take is transferred into electricity that they can shoot from where ever the fuck they want? No amount of viltrumites could defeat this hero, you could have 12 trillions thraggs and they quite literally couldn’t do shit

u/Tall_Growth_532 The Immortal May 03 '26
Wouldn't say beat easily but 100% they won't go down, and technically yeah
Red rush with Brit invulnerability is basically a unstoppable force
Plus powerolex shock absorption, immortal immortality, and Brit invulnerability pretty sure thragg ain't killing him

u/IGotEmotionalDamage May 03 '26
So… brit makes you impossible to kill, powerplex makes you stronger after every hit, immortal lets you breath in space and fly + some decent stats at the start and red rush lets you run fast… yeah thragg is cooked

u/kk_slider346 Comic Fan May 03 '26
so kinetic energy absorption and electricity that can kill a viltrumite, Super speed, indestructibility, and super strength below a viltrumite and flight
I'd say they win due to having way higher speed and durability and offensively they get stronger the longer the fight goes on
their flight also prevents them from being thrown into space

u/Half_Man1 Robot May 03 '26
This is basically a truly indestructible Viltrumite with Super speed and OP Energy powers.

u/Rockman2isgud May 03 '26
Ok so this oneshots literally anything in the verse.
Red Rush + Powerplex + Brit
Pound on your chest like a gorilla at super speed to build up charge, fly up to whoever you want to kill, let em have it, and they just die immediately. If a few punches from Invincible can make Powerdipshit strong enough to actually damage him, then a few thousand hits at Red Rush speed in just a few seconds would get you strong enough to fucking **rinse** Thragg.

u/discodork135 May 03 '26
Immortal Punching power is at the very least Vidor level. He was hurting Nolan in both fights. Give the character complete invulnerability like Brit, Red Rush's speed and Powerplex's electric powers and this is pretty much a character that solos the verse. Heck, just Brit and Powerplex's powers combined means he can take infinite damage and that will lead to him releasing an electric charge to fry entire planets.

So, super-speed beyond normal Viltrumite levels. Massive strength and the ability to fly. Invulnerability. Damage absorption. And immortality to try again if they don't obliterate your body if you still somehow lost?
Massive overkill. Yeah, this combo of powers wins.

u/No-Age8120 May 03 '26
I mean I feel like Brit + Immortal could do it since Britt's only weakness is that he can't fly. Like could he Damage Thragg? No but eventually. Like there just isn't a way to win from someone who doesnt age, and is completely invulnerble to everything.

u/Not_Eren2 May 03 '26

you cant die
Even if you die you come back
If you get hit you become stronger
AND you are much faster than viltrumites

u/Inevitable-Rub24 May 03 '26
Brit seemingly possesses absolute invulnerability, making him immune to all forms of damage including internal injuries, disease, massive impact forces and even esoteric attacks like soul draining magic. Add in Powerplex and Red Rush just makes him an even greater threat.
That's not even considering Immortals immortality. Unfortunately his strength is the most severe disadvantage here. It's ain't enough to damage Thragg at all.
3
u/zword34 May 03 '26
Yes, like, only choice thragg has is to run away.
And following that up, do the powers afect each other? Like, does red Rush super speed now also affect the flying speed? And most important, does the electrical supercharge still only work as a blast move, or does the energy full the other powers making the user stronger and faster?

u/RedNUGGETLORD Debbie and Nolan May 03 '26
Yes
First off, I refuse to believe that Thragg would immediately understand Power Plex's ability, remember that Mark only knows because he's seen it before and was told about it by Donald, without that kind of heads up, Thragg would immediately start throwing hands, and after nothing works(with both Brits and Power Plex's forms of invulnerability) He would go even harder
If Red Rush's and Immortals speed stack, then he'd move at speeds faster than Thragg could perceive and hit him with an electric punch filled with multiple Thragg punches worth of electricity, that is also enhanced with the speed of the two, with absolutely no holding back due to Brit's invincibility
3
u/First_Maintenance326 May 03 '26
A hero with all four yes, you only need Brit and immortal (literally just for flight) since Brit can beat thragg eventually, but he can’t chase or leave a planet/sun if thrown to one, all four is overkill tbh

Red Rush and Brit is essentially god. Infinite durability and the speed of the fastest character in the series, he could essentially run into anybody at full speed and eviscerate them.

u/dakotaray42 May 03 '26
If they have the full capability of Britt’s powers then absolutely because thragg will never be able to hurt him. Red rush’s speed would out speed him too really the only question is could this power set throw attacks back at thragg hard enough to actually hurt him. I really don’t know the answer.

u/No_Communication2959 May 03 '26

Immortal was able to draw blood from Nolan, Red Rush was able to put speed him and Brits invulnerability plus Power Plex ability to absorb impacts. The fight will drag on until they take enough hits to actually hurt Thragg but the fused hero would win eventually

u/Chosty55 May 03 '26
The immortal only really adds the power of flight. Which will be a necessity once thragg realised the other combinations can’t go airborne.
Red rush gives the ability to at least keep up with any movement.
So it really depends how combining powerplex with Brit works. Does Brit feel zero impact? In which case powerplex is useless. If not, one strong hit from thragg is absorbed not only by brits invulnerability, but can also be charged back at him.

This is hard but I think he does take it let me explain.
