Why Didn’t Omni-Man Fight Battle Beast?

This is a joke

I just love the utter randomness of the idea of the final boss of a video game suddenly appearing in the tutorial stage. 💀

"no fucker is going to kill my son-"
* Sees its Battle Beast *
"What's seventeen more years?"

There aren't many characters in invincible that can defeat Nolan. Battle beast is one.

Machine head hiring battle beast is like black mask hiring darkseid to take out robin

[BMJgunner]

Battle beast is like the lvl 100 going back and doing the lvl 1 side mission at the beginning.

[khajiitimanus]

To clarify a lore reason why:

Battle Beast is either the strongest character in Invincible, tied strongest, or barely second.

And it's not Omni-Man who's the other contender. Nolan knew he'd get brutalized if he interfered.

Even if he fought alongside Mark and the others.



Context (and spoilers):

The singular strongest viltrumite is considered to be Thragg. It took both Invincible and Omni-Man working together, with additional help, to beat him. And Omni-Man barely held on long enough to say his farewells to Mark before kicking the bucket, too. Thragg is a monster.

Now, consider also that viltrumites have a powerful healing factor. Mark only managed to finish off Thragg by shoving him into a star. Mark himself only survived diving into a star due to borrowing Robot's suit - and he still looked like charred beef jerky from head to toe when he was fished out. And if Invincible hadn't resorted to baking Thragg alive with solar power, healing factors would've made it into an endurance fight, which Invincible was already losing.

Battle Beast doesn't have a healing factor whatsoever, but he almost 1v1'd Thragg.

Let that sink in.

Wanna know why he lost? Because he wants a fair fight to die to - that's his entire character motivation; to fight and die with honor. When the duel started, Thragg already had his gut ripped open due to bystander interference - therefore Battle Beast, being the metal "do-or-die" glory-hound he is, decided to rip his own guts open before starting. Again, to clarify, this insane lion-man doesn't have a healing factor. And he still only barely - _barely_ - lost to Thragg after literal days of brutal fighting. Thragg, who nearly brutalized both Omni-Man and Invincible if not for their back-up, was almost soloed by that one single crazy cat.

Battle Beast isn't simply a unit. He is _the_ unit.

(clarification edit: I'm discounting epilogue characters because they came after all conflicts were solved - so yes, while Invincible technically becomes the strongest character in the entire comic, we never really see much of that strength; not enough for him to be taken seriously in a comparison).

Imagine if Cecil rang up battle beast when he had proof Nolan was evil,
Cecil "Hey we've got a viltrumite problem"
BB "Say less"

[ghostlee]

Battle beast is the equivalent of King Pin hiring say Doc Ock, Vulture, Rhino and Electro to fight Spider-Man, but also decided to hire Thanos just for good measure

[PilloTheStar]

Machine head hiring battle beast is like eggman hiring vegeta to take out cream the rabbit.

[garuelx]

Two reasons

1) to teach Mark a lesson
2) Battle Beast can actually kick Omni-man's ass.

[MR.ICE.]

Because Battle Beast would’ve clapped Nolan’s cheeks more intensely than his hatred of Spider-Man.

[anonymouscinemafan]

I seen a funny comment from another video saying Battle Beast working as hired help for Machine Head is equivalent to Two Face paying Darkseid to be his body guard.

[haxacodex]

Nolan didn’t intervene to teach Mark a lesson. He told him not to go that doing this Machine Head thing was beneath him…Also he probably didn’t want to go to the trouble of fighting and possibly losing that fight when Battle Beast ain’t a threat to his mission Battle Beast isn’t on earth side and doesn’t care about earth so he really has no reason to fight him

[sincitymafia]

Bro said "buddy you think your strong? Your wearing a cape"

[ViewtifulAce]

If you read the comic, you would know that Battle Beast is too powerful for Omni-Man. It took Thragg (the real most powerful Viltrumite) to beat him, and their battle lasted days.

[JT-mtku]

Battle Beast almost killed the strongest viltrumite, after they fought for like three straight days. He would absolutely wreck Oniman.

[Dockktor]

Nolan doesn't know who BB is. He didn't join because he wanted Mark to learn a lesson, assuming (incorrectly) that nobody there had the ability to actually kill a Viltrumite.

[VladtheInhaler]

Kingpin hires Galactus to beat up daredevil

[FoltestAnimations]

This is basically saying Lex Luthor hired Darkseid against Robin lmao

[strayorion]

Battle beast showing up for this fight is like thanos suddenly showed up for a kingpin or tombstone fight agaisnt spiderman
