Can S4 oliver beat him?

Like, from the first Viltrumite War, does Thragg get any stronger at all? Like possibly during the 5 year timeskip?

For whatever reason, Dupli-Kate is extremely mad at you, and you're scared until you remember she's just a human who can make copies of herself. Who wins in the upcoming matchup?

Also, it seems that despite loathing powerscaling, Robert Kirkman does have some sort of internal powerscale, he just chooses to ignore it. I'm assuming on this scale, Thragg is a 10, Conquest an 8.2, Battle Beast a 7.3, Nolan a 6, and Mark is currently a 5.

That being said, yeah, the powerscaling in this series indeed makes no sense. Conquest was afraid to fight Thragg, and Mark, even if not as strong, could fight him and damage him. Meanwhile, trying his absolute hardest only gave Thragg a nosebleed in the comics, and he straight up can’t hurt him at all in the show. Yet Battle Beast, who is weaker stat-wise than Conquest, can damage Thragg just fine. It would make sense maybe if Conquest had used his weapons to get an edge, but no.

I think if all the Viltrumites were close in stats it would add up, but Thragg was so far above Mark and Nolan in their fights, one-shotted Thaedus, who could beat up Kregg, and took no damage from Dinosaurus, who was close to Mark’s level, so I don’t know, it just doesn’t add up. I suppose I generally agree powerscaling matters less than the themes of a story, but it does matter somewhat. Yeah, this is an underdog story, but it doesn’t matter how lucky a cat gets, it’s never beating a tiger.

If the gap is that large, it makes no sense character-wise for someone as crazy and bloodthirsty as Conquest to fear Thragg. Anyway though, if there was any dispute on the second strongest Viltrumite, there shouldn’t be anymore. I think Conquest lost his fight primarily because of the “spectator in his own fights” thing, but also because Conquest is arrogant and has too much fun, much like the audience. I don’t think he ever even conceived he could lose to a Viltrumite that’s not even 100 years old.

Had to make it NSFW because of Momo's "window."

Being the second strongest Viltrumite means he would probably beat any other Viltrumite in a 1v1 aside from Thragg, but in a free-for-all how many could he have engaged at the same time before he gets overwhelmed?
