Complications:
Obsession (Fighting & Killing)- Conquest enjoys nothing more than killing others. He WANT people to fight back, and enjoys a scrap so much he actively reduces his strength in combat, just to make the fights last longer. He typically operates at 2 PLs below his basis to start battles.
Responsibility (The Viltrumite Empire)- Conquest is loyal to Thragg. He's also the only Viltrumite seen actually FEARING his Grand Regent.
Responsibility (Viltrumite Rage)- All Viltrumites get angry very quickly, and restraining themselves in times of anger is extremely difficult.
Weakness (High-Level Sonics)- Viltrumites require inner-ear stability in order to fly, and can be incapacitated by certain degrees of sonic pulses.
Total: Abilities: 104 / Skills: 24--12 / Advantages: 14 / Powers: 38 / Defenses: 13 (181)
-Conquest is a big game-changer in
Invincible- the second the "Invincible War" is over, this huge, aged Viltrumite arrives. Unlike the subserviant guys who fight Mark & Nolan, or Anissa (who tries to carefully explain the benefits of Viltrumite rule)... Conquest just wants to fight. He BEGS Mark to tell him off and start punching, explaining that he LOVES fighting and has never, ever failed. Mark, disgusted and enraged over various alternate versions of himself have killed scores of people, just wants something to hit. And so it's ON.
-Conquest is vicious, unstoppable and nigh-unkillable- he takes all of Mark's best shots, laughs them off, and throws him around. He takes his sweet time, slowly picking Mark apart. Mark has to throw punches so hard that HIS OWN BONES BREAK, and Conquest is still barely slowed down- it's basically the closest
Invincible has ever come to a
Dragon Ball Z fight. This looks to be ultra one-sided, as a barely-bleeding Conquest has Mark beat... and then Eve shows up. She almost does okay, but pretty soon her jaw is mashed in Conquest's arms, and then he freaking IMPALES HER on his fist, sending her into a bloody heap on the ground. Fans everywhere were horrified, and wrote Kirkman insulting mail.
-And of course Eve resurrects herself next issue, helping turn a tide. Invincible, enraged past the point he'd ever been in his life, and packing two mangled arms, manages to bite into Conquest's flesh, take him down, and once Eve lazes his skin off, headbutts the villain until his face is literally a concave shell. It's one of the most epic, violent, vicious fights in the series, and instantly made Conquest a HUGE name.
-Conquest is seemingly dead, but a sliver of life is left in him, because Viltrumites can only die when it's important to the plot for them to do so. Cecil keeps him alive, intending to interrogate him about the Viltrumite Empire, but the villain simply reawakens one day, shatters his prison (hundreds of tons of steel), and flies off. His Grand Regent sends him against the heroes once more, but this one goes no better- Mark doesn't even need help to defeat him, though it's basically a two-way-kill, as Mark is disemboweled by Conquest's fist, but manages to strangle the villain to death (how you can strangle someone who can survive in space for DAYS is beyond me, but like I said... it was important to the plot that Conquest die). Mark needs months to slowly heal himself back to normal (his stomach and spine were gone, though Viltrumites are so heal-able that a simple cape can hold all his innards inside), but Conquest is dead and never reappears, only a year after his introduction.
-Conquest stands as the mightiest Viltrumite yet seen, though I'm pretty sure he's no more dangerous than Omni-Man given what happens to him in the series. Granted, it's established that "Conquest acts like a spectator to his own fights", barely even paying attention to what's going on until it gets serious. He's big, strong and powerful, but generally doesn't try overly much in battle. Mark DOES manage to deal out mortal wounds on two separate occasions, but A) Mark was at least PL 12 in their first fight, B) Eve helped him the first time with her own Limit Break, and C) both times, Mark was basically a nearly-dead wreck after winning. So he's still stronger than Mark is by a ways.
