Getting back to War Machine, he has other impressive feats like burning Wonder Man's hand, one-shotting Dragon Man, holding his own against a Nova+Drax+Comet+Moondragon Skrull and blasting through another one with the power of the West Coast Avengers (Skrulls' powers are complete duplicates of the normal hero), along with not even feeling a punch from Ms.Marvel, and choking her with one hand, and one-shotting Storm and a monster that was overpowering Thunderstrike
Or tanking several hits from a Underwater Namor and briefly restraining him and stalemating him on land, downing Ares and one-shotting She-Hulk
Iron Patriot (notably weaker than Iron Man) was pretty tight too. Stuff like stomping Tiger Shark, making Ms.Marvel scream in pain, tanking slams from Bloodlusted Ares, staggering OF Thor, scoring a finishing blow on Thor, and holding back one of Void's arms
@guesswhattime: if we are using scaling for comic omniman he is definitely hilariously above his show counterpart. mark has the same amount of above city level feats and city level feats including all of his appearances. And if you don't use scaling then he has no actual anti feats that would make the viltrum planet feat inconsistent. That character rant is correct in that the show version of omniman has the more impressive visuals of the same feat but it also ignores the things that put comic omniman over his show version.
@guesswhattime: I mean crossovers are the same as regular comics in terms of increasing a characters ability to match another one. but the viltrumite planet feat definitely puts comic omniman above his show counterpart. and of course invincible has his crossover feat with the tick and his golem throw feat.
@eredin12: That's about as consistent as Tony stalemating Thor in armwrestling, knocking out Silver Surfer, stomping half-powered Hercules (and weakening a full-powered one to the point where he was knocked out by a random wire), fighting evenly with Hal Jordan, KOing Captain Atom, and a bunch of other similar high-ends.
Plus, IM has hax that would work well against Viltrumites. The arguments for IM in earlier posts have been way more convincing than any argument made for Nolan.
@akz: Problem is you have a double standard. You want to use only the highest end feat for Invincible chars to judge them, but a literal dozen better feats for Iron Man you want to discount. Yes, IM has more writers, which is why he has much more high-ends. I don't think those feats are consistent, but neither is the Viltrum feat.
@akz: What do you mean by "poster child"? It's the most well known feat obviously, because it's the biggest and best by thousands of times. Even people who have never read the comic know it. If you want, I can give you issue numbers to each of IM's high-ends so you can check for context.
I've never pushed sub-city level Invincible, only City+ based on consistent showings.
Karkus lowballs when people wank.
Agreed, also Karkus lowballing posts to counter wank are the best thing ever, really comes in handy when you get staff like solar system level Thor/planet buster PC Superman etc
That was just a test run. Get ready for building level high tiers, 2.0
@akz: I'm not talking about Mark early on in his career (I've actually never used the feats where he struggled with 400 tons or with a cruise ship for this reason). The specific feats I've always cited for Mark being city level were each after Conquest said Mark was almost stronger than Nolan.
It goes without saying that you can't hold back your durability.
@sirdragonfly: Did you seriously delete your posts of saying Iron Man stomps Omni-Man and then posting an image of you having Omni-Man’s face over Thanos’ with him ripping Iron Man in half?
Lol.
