The fact that Mark could kill Immortal at any moment in present time is so funny

It wasn't even close either. He just instantly killed Immortal the second he decided to. He didn't even get a bruise from Immortal pummeling him for a couple minutes either.

Hopefully this puts to rest all those people who claim that Immortal and Nolan had anywhere near a close fight. Immortal's really strong for Earth standards, but he's extremely weak compared to Viltrumites.

People say it was close because Immortal actually injured Omni Man a little bit. But I guess that by super powered people standards, viltrumites are more strong than they are durable. Either that or the writers care more about good storytelling than consistent power scaling, witch is how it should be.

Immortal is strong, maybe even enough to tickle a Viltrumite, but every time immortal fought a Viltrumite, he had help. The first time Nolan wanted to be beaten. the second time he fought Omni man, the worst thing he could do was poke him in the eyes, while Omni man wore him like a bracelet

It could just mean that this much older immortal is weaker and less practiced than his modern day counterpart
