Physical Description[]
General Physical Condition[]
HUMAN/VILTRUMITE PHYSIOLOGY[]
Mark is a Human/Viltrumite hybrid and this gives him access to Viltrumite powers. Because humans are biologically similar to Viltrumites, this gives Mark the potential to become as strong as any pure-blooded Viltrumite. As Mark pushes himself, he can become faster, stronger, and more durable than he was before.
Physical quirks[]
DOMINANT GENETICS[]
Due to his Viltrumite heritage, Mark's human genetics were overridden when he was conceived, making him more pure-blooded Viltrumite like Nolan, than human.
VULNERABLE EARS[]
In order to achieve flight, a Viltrumite's equilibrium must be balanced. This system is located in their ears and thus anything that disrupts their inner ear function can disrupt their flight. This does not include loud sounds, but much rather certain pitch pulses. It can cause Mark's ears to bleed and possibly kill him if down for too long. This weakness has only been demonstrated on Mark, but it is implied that other Viltrumites share it.
Special abilities[]
SUPERNATURAL STRENGTH[]
Due to his Viltrumite heritage, Mark has strength beyond human levels. He was able to destroy planet Viltrum with assistance from Nolan and Thaedus. Upon first getting superpowers, he was able to throw a trash bag from the United States all the way to England.
SUPERNATURAL SPEED[]
Due to his Viltrumite heritage, Mark is capable of at moving at speeds beyond Human levels. Mark was able to transport David Hiles from the United States to Antarctica in a few seconds. He is able to get into orbit within a few minutes. He was able to move from the Pentagon and get to his house with a few moments. His reflexes are lighting-fast, he can even automatically dodge or intercept bullets.
SUPERNATURAL STAMINA[]
Due to his Viltrumite heritage, Mark has stamina much greater than normal Humans. Mark has been able to exert himself for hours upon battling his father.
SUPERNATURAL ENDURANCE[]
Due to his Viltrumite heritage, Mark's endurance is greatly enhanced beyond human levels. He was able to survive disembowelment, survive in the vacuum of space without needing to breathe, and withstand blows from Thragg, who was said to be the strongest Viltrumite.
FLIGHT[]
Due to his Viltrumite heritage, Mark has a complex balancing system in his inner ears that gives him the ability to fly.
INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL[]
Mark can survive, move, fly and comfortably function in outer space without aid.
ENHANCED LUNG CAPACITY[]
Due to his Viltrumite heritage, Mark has a lung capacity to hold his breath for weeks at a time.
INVULNERABILITY[]
Due to his Viltrumite heritage, Mark is virtually immune to any/all kind of damage. Only beings of similar strength can actually inflict damage on Mark or even pierce his skin. Mark has been shot with bullets and none were able to pierce his skin. Mark has survived a nuclear bomb being blown in his face with no damage. Mark has survived the explosion of several hydrogen bombs with him minimal injuries.
ENHANCED HEALING FACTOR[]
Due to his Viltrumite heritage, Invincible is immune to all diseases, disorders, imperfections, and can heal and regenerate from any injuries, even those that would normally kill Humans. Depending on how severe his injuries are, some injuries he's sustained can heal from in weeks and others take longer. After his battle with his father, he healed in 2 weeks. After his battle with the Viltrumites on Thraxa, he didn't make a full recovery until a month later. During his first battle with Conquest, Mark broke his radius and his femur and three days after had bruises and required crutches to move. In a few months, he healed in a few months. During his second battle with Conquest, he was disemboweled and took him a few months to recover. Like all Viltrumites he adapts to any bodily harm as he regenerates.
DECELERATED AGING[]
Due to his Viltrumite heritage, Mark's aging process is slower than the average Human, as he gets older his aging process will exponentially slow down further, eventually, he'll stop aging. Mark can potentially live for thousands of years and will still be in his physical prime.
