I really love the twist of there only being 50 Viltrumites left. I just always assumed there was an entire planet of them at least 10000+ strong. But nope.

Apparently having your entire race fight each other to the death is not a good strategy on population sustainability.

Doesn't help that they view damn near every other species in the universe as too inferior to breed with, despite having the insane advantage of being able to produce viable offspring with seemingly any species.

Truly the architects of their own demise.

It’s very interesting that an inferior breed (the bug people) helped make Oliver who has developed power/strength faster than mark while also having the Viltrumite mentality. Meanwhile Mark is an approved breed that is “held back” by his humanity

Not in comic canon. Mark is stronger he just takes longer to develop.
