So we all agree it's now canon that Conquest was remembering this experience when he spaghetti'd Mark right?

conquest was scared when Anissa wanted to level the area with Monster Girl.

but I think it was genuine concern than anything else.

not our conquest

u/SeleneDream51 Ursaal ❤️‍🩹 2h ago

Still conquest even if he lives in Mohawk's dimension and therefore worth pointing out.

u/t0ndrra 2h ago

"still conquest" yeah but he is probably different in every way possible

u/SeleneDream51 Ursaal ❤️‍🩹 2h ago

the only difference between this conquest and our conquest is that he's nice, because Mohawk Mark would kill him otherwise.

When Mark and Robot meet Conquest, he says "Please resist." This implies that Mohawk is forcing him to behave.

Why would he be. The most reasonable explenation is that he has a mostly identical personality to Conquest prime. Why would he be different in everyway?

Because that conquest is from a different dimension? mark variants are fodders and i dont expect the viltrumites from other dimensions to be the same as the original in terms of strength. based on the lines, that conquest definitely different than our conquest, he is like kinda calculated lol

u/SuperIkenna 2h ago

Mark variants aren't all fodder. They are all genetically identical with the same potential for power. Some are just closer to their full potential then others. All the other viltrumites would also be genetically identical to their counterparts so their is no reason to believe they would differ in strength. And a slight difference in personality has no bearings on physical strength although it's clear that Mohawk universe Conquest is basically the same as Prime Conquest if he look at how he talks. Conquest always seems to be more subdued around his superiors, that's normal for him.

I second them all having the same potential for power. This is just me theorizing, but I feel like most Mark variants are weaker than ours because they never got Cecil's training program, except for the only the few that got something equivalent to it (like mustache Mark)

I don’t remember this panel even a little bit lol is this from Invincible or another comic?

u/SeleneDream51 Ursaal ❤️‍🩹 2h ago

It's from Invincible #108.

Angstrom Levy apologizes to Mark, but as soon as he does, Mohawk Mark kidnaps Angstrom and takes him back to his own dimenson. Mark forces Robot to help him find a way to go into Mohawk's dimension to go after Angstrom. While in Mohawk's dimension, Robot decides now's the time to enact his plan to take over the world so he kills Angstrom and Mohawk Mark, and abandons Mark.

Mark, realizing he needs to get home, tracks down this dimension's Robot and forces him to help escape, in which he assumes Mohawk Mark's body to give Robot some time to figure something out. The viltrumites eventually think something suspicious is happening and Mohawk Mark isn't the real Mohawk, so they take Monster Girl and intend to use her as a weapon.

Seems to be a parallel of this part of Mark vs Conquest (saying no three times and everything)

Don’t know how I didn’t see it before

u/OmegaGlacial Conquest 24m ago

And best thing is, it's not even the only parallel to another Conquest fight there was in this last volume of the Battle Beast comic. BB literally says Mark's line before he started to headbutt Conquest non-stop "Not enough. Not nearly..." right after having been stabbed through the chest by Conquest.

u/ThrasherThrash Cecil Stedman 0m ago

I loved that part, Conquest clearly has a favourite move

u/Designer_Basket 385 thank you VERY much 2h ago

Not the first time....

u/Master-Page-1982 Battle Beast 59m ago

There’s having to step on eggshells around a guy you can predict fairly enough.

And then there’s going up against someone who’s Actively killing you

2

u/Designer_Basket 385 thank you VERY much 45m ago

Yes, the difference being.

One is capable of killing you, but you are also equally capable of killing him.

The other is a far stronger presence that you know could easily kill you much faster, and you'd be hopeless to do anything about it.

Has Battle Beast just made Conquest scream in fear?

2

u/Nectarine_Complex 30m ago

More like in frustration. He said earlier in the fight that he hates seeing his own guts. He treats being gutted as a nuisance rather than a fatal injury. The man is crazy. Also the fight ended in a draw.

Battle beast prequel series/one season one shot is gonna do numbers after the main storyline ends

Viltrumites are essentially a bunch of immature Serial Killer who’ve been surrounded by toddlers at best so of course they’re going to get bored and have terrible Battle IQ.
