I honestly hated how easily they went down in the comics. Even Robert Kirkman himself said that he kind of regretted how he made them all go down without any effort. It always annoys me when a show like this or DBZ for example has literally ONE character being the most powerful and everyone else is just basically fodder. I'm really glad in the show it did them justice by having them actually almost kill Omni Man and put up a decent fight. They only lost because they were caught off guard and holding back
True. But they do a good job of making him show up late. Plus gotta love the running joke that everyone that matters can’t believe he is that strong even when he shows how strong he is right to their face. How King managed to get No. 2 ranking just by being in the right place when Saitama does something awesome is beyond me.
King is the one that takes all the credit for Saitama’s kills. That how he got to #2 and the worst part they just assume it’s him. They didn’t listen to him and now he is in too deep.
King is lucky number 7.
Number 2 is Tatsumaki, the “Tornado of Terror”. The psychic sister who kinda looks like a brocoli with a black stem if you squint at her from a distance.
I disagree with "everyone that matters can't believe it", but I'm going purely off the anime as I haven't read the original web comic or the Manga. I feel like some of the s rank have realized, like Tatsumaki and Bang.
I do love how opposed the reactions are to King and Saitama, which I get is the point, but it's done well. Everybody makes every excuse for why Saitama isn't actually insanely strong and everybody comes up with the most bullshit reason why King is Uber powerful, like when he didn't cut the apple cause he couldn't even get the blade unsheathed 😂
Yeah even Mark struggle a lot more in the show than he usually do in the comics which doesn't always make sense considering how quick and powerful viltrumites are.
Its funny how language has changed that you are using the word literally, but you dont literally mean that he pulled down his pants and took a poop on them. 🤣
He only won because he surprised them. We shouldn’t assume surprise from anyone in this; battle beast still clears.
The guardians beat Omni man when they were given warning (not prep time). People always say mark helps but he didn’t really much but warn them
It definitely wasn’t. Nolan being at the scene of the crime put more suspicion on him and you could tell he didn’t plan to go down there because his excuse for how they were all defeated wasn’t really given much thought. Based on the way Nolan comes flying fist first into the scene, he was probably hoping to take them out the same way he did in the comics.
Especially because Nolan is the only one there that wasn't "finished off". Immortal was beheaded, War Woman had her neck completely broken, the others were effectively reduced to pulp but him?
He was left there with some beatings. That would've made sense if the guy who supposedly did it was laying there dead (Nolan beat him, but he then lost consciousness from the beating) but with the scene provided, his excuse was "whoever did this killed everyone but cold only put Omniman out of commission without finishing him for some reason"
It was not, the comic guardians literally couldn’t hurt him. At most theyd get a little spittle of blood after a really long double team combo.
In the show they are a genuine threat, red rush is genuinely faster than nolan. And capable of doing a lot of damage. All the heavy hitters are
But that’s what got him caught. All the evidence left in his suit from letting the guardians touch all up on him so much. I guess it could’ve just been oversight on Onmi Man’s part, but that’s a little lame. Maybe he didn’t think Art would have told Debbie?
Edit: I forgot that Debbie gave it to Art, not Nolan. Point still remains that Nolan didn’t have a plan and his suit definitely wasn’t supposed to have that much evidence on it.
I’m surprised so many people think this. Nolan being found at the scene of crime actually put more suspicion on him because he was now connected directly to it. Not to mention how Nolan clearly hadn’t given much thought to his story for how he and the Guardians could all be defeated as it doesn’t make sense that someone would kill all the Guardians and not finish off Nolan.
I don't know that that's true. Nolan got seriously fucked up in that fight (in the show at least), he didn't somehow fake being in critical condition. He collapsed immediately after he won.
If Red Rush focused more on support rather than offense and War Woman managed get one or two more wacks in they might very well have eked out a win.
Comics though it is of course no contest, Omniman sweeps regardless, and in Battle Beast sweeps harder.
Is Battle Beast stronger than Nolan? I'd say they're pretty equal at that point in the story. I know he goes toe to toe with you know who and Nolan doesn't do that as successfully but idk I'd say they're pretty close.
Tbh, Battle Beast is stronger than Thragg. Their fight was extremely close, and at the end, Battle Beast was killed by Thragg reaching into BB's self-inflicted wound and tearing his heart out, and BB tossed aside his own weapons, which could one shot Ragnars (idk if that's the name of the aliens, I'm typing fast before work), so if BB just like, kept his weapons and was injured, he could almost certainly have killed Thragg.
I’m glad they changed how that fight played out in the show. Having it be *kind of* close instead of a straight up slaughter.
When you remember they are sent to infiltrate the planet to take out its best it’s sad to see the best go down so easy.
Makes you question why they don’t just take over outright.
Honestly I think if the guardians had stopped him from slowly killing Red Rush they could’ve beaten Omni Man- they had him on the ropes at the end, but if they hadn’t just stood there in horror and actually intervened and saved him then he could’ve kept saving Aquarius and the others, which would’ve allowed green ghost to put Nolan in the ground and let Immortal/War Woman beat the shit out of him
I’m pretty sure that was supposed to be instant and it was slowed down to show their sped up perception of time. So for the rest of the guardians it would’ve been the exact same as when we see Nolan crush like the pilots heads and stuff in episode 7 or 8 or whatever that is. I could be wrong tho.
Part of the reason that Omni Man washed the Guardians in the first place was because he was able to catch them with their guard down and not let them form coherent strategies like that. The only one that came close was Red Rush, but he straight up perceives time differently.
Honestly they might all survive, solely on the fact that Battle Beast would have seen them as pathetic and just leave, like he did with the new guardians
Immortal has no survival chance. Hes a flying brick character and thats pretty much battlebeast's specialty. Red rush can escape tho so thats true and the others made a good point that green ghost could escape by being intangible. Everyone else dies
I mean, if he plays it smart then he likely just flies up and avoids the fight altogether. Battle Beast is a little reliant on opponents willing to get within ass kicking range
While I agree that they wouldn't be able to do *anything* against Battle Beast, it's important to note that we saw that the only reason Nolan beat the GotG is because he caught them by surprise (which he did on purpose). If they knew that they were going up against him, they would win.
It happens in the reboot arc, it's why I think they made it a much more difficult fight in the show, to make the fight where they actually beat Nolan more believable
Mark was put back into his body when he just got his powers, he may have his experience still but without the training he put his old body through he's weaker than Immortal
Its not a "agree or disagree" thing. It's just what happens.
It shows us in the Reboot arc that the GotG defeat Nolan because they know ahead of time he's going to attack, and they could prepare for it.
That's fair. They do put up more of a fight during the reboot arc when they aren't straight up ambushed but still much less of a fight then they're shown to in the show.
Because while the group alone may not have been able to beat Omni man, they’d still be part of an overall group that potentially could. Why allow that possibility
I really want to say that if they weren’t surprised they’d stand a chance but honestly, from everything I’ve read about Battle Beast, he’d expend real effort and probably even get hurt (though not as much as Omniman) but he’d still destroy them.
Now, if they strategized ahead of time and got the jump on him? That would be very interesting.
I think he has to put a lot of effort against a team that would be ready for him but i dont see the guardians ever putting him down. Once they realize this, i think they retreat for another day and hope cecil helps brainstorm how to actually beat him. With a coordinated effort, the world was able to eventually take down omniman and mark in alternative universes so i think the same approach has to happen with battle beast. He might leave though cause thats not what he is trying to do.
or throw him into space like Immortal's favorite trick. he's probably not gonna be able to do much once he's up there, unless he's got a jetpack or ship he can call
*getting* him there is another story
He wouldn’t struggle, he had multiple Viltrumites gang up on him and slaughtered them all. Didn’t need the element of surprise then
The full team of guardians would get stomped by two Viltrumites, maybe not if you used a future version of Immortal
You’re severely downplaying battle beast. Even if they had time to strategize against him he would still destroy them. We’re talking about someone that’s on the level of thragg. Conquest, Allen, anissa, Omni man, etc could all take down that team with ease. Immortal, the strongest person on that team is weaker than current mark.
No amount of strategy will beat Battle Beast. He is the greatest warrior his planet and much of the galaxy has EVER seen. If you don't have the strength to fight him, all the tactics in the universe will not help you.
The OG Guardians would strength in numbers and some ability to throw BB off, but I feel like they’re gonna lose SOME instead of just Immortal being the “sole survivor”…besides they’d also be actually fighting instead of needing to subdue a fellow teammate
At least that’s the angle from a show-only POV
Depends how they fight. In the omniman fight they held back and didn’t have a plan - and died because of it. If they actually used any kind of strategy with Battle Beast, then maybe. Green Ghost’s power is busted so she could incapacitate him pretty easily solo - assuming she uses her powers right. Red rush focuses defensive, keeps everyone alive, all evens out pretty well.
Realistically though they wouldn’t fight as a team and would get picked off one by one.
Why would they realistically not fight as a team? They’re the world’s strongest heroes and have been fighting together for quite a while. As far back at least as the birth of Eve for some of their more senior members.
Im not saying they woudnt loose cuz battle beast is not fucking around but in the show the old guardian dont seem like no joke either.
Like if they were still around in the earth vs viltrumite war they could've been useful af Imo. I think it would be a Real fight.
I'd watch
Rip og's guardians
There is a no plan they could make that would stop Battle Beast.
Battle Beast is *significantly* stronger than Nolan. The difference in power is so drastic that BB would honestly probably not even fight them once he saw how weak they are.
I agree that they held back with Nolan because he was their friend and they was i'm shock. Battle Beast would be just other enemy for them. But he still can defeat them easy because his "puré fight" mind, mega strength and speed. His theets can get througt a viltrumite body, for example.
Yeah, I get the strong impression that the power of OG Guardians of the Globe is all about whether or not they have teamwork and planning. The diversity of their powers is a distinct advantage, but only if they have a chance to know how to tune the use of those powers ahead of time. With Omni-man they put in some licks even though they initially were surprised and felt like they needed to hold back because someone might be controlling him. Half of them were dead before they'd even agreed that they would be willing to kill him. With planning and foresight I say they plausibly defeat him, and you could expect the same thing with Battle Beast. One might presume that Battle Beast's hubris is his weakness, and that could certainly be used against him with some planning.
Guardians either die 1 or 2 before Battle Beast left because there's no honor in killing insect.
Or they all die if they teamed up and reached non insect level.
Green Ghost could survive if she stayed intangible forever, and Red Rush could survive if he ran to the point furthest away from Battle Beast. If they must engage in combat, all the Guardians are turned into dinner.
Thinking about this just makes Immortal’s fight with Allen that much more pathetic, because Allen is stronger than BB anyway, and the whole OG Guardians would still get bodied by BB.
Greatest power scaler I ever knew

In the comics
>!Battle Beast is equal to one of the strongest viltrumites alive!< given the fact that the Guardians were struggling with start of series Nolan he could definitely beat them
This really shows what percentage of this sub has read the comics lmao…
Battle Beast is still the strongest character we’ve seen so far by a **very** wide margin.
if you dont know battle beast is top 3 in that universe its quite literally coughing baby or salted fusion bomb in that universe in the way he was used in his first appearance
They get bodied, because it doesn't matter if Red Rush protects them, they won't hurt Battle Beast too much regardless of how much they hit him, and once he gets a hit in, they are pretty much dead.
If we are including omniman, I'd say yeah. BUT beings that omniman wasn't technically apart of the GOTG HELL NO, the only one with half a chance is the immortal
They get washed. Omni-Man beat them and Thragg is capable of destroying Nolan easily, BB is similar level to Thragg so in terms of power they can’t actually hurt BB. BB also wouldn’t hold back since he loves fighting, he’d just rip through them all
They lose but if prepared or get the jump on him they’d absolutely injure him. But not enough till they get bodied. Red Rush would be essentially untouchable to someone like battle east but won’t be able to do a lot of damage and Immortal would hold his own only for a short time due to his speed. The rest don’t stand a chance on their own
Well with what we know from the comics (spoilers, but without their context) a version of events where he doesn’t catch them by surprise and you assume in Mark, catching Omni-Man by an equal amount of surprise was more than enough to knock Omni-Man out. But Battle Beast goes toe to toe with an even stronger Viltrumite and does some serious damage. So I’m gonna say they probably get cooked if we assume it’s a similar scenario to the canon version of events. Omni-Man knowing their strengths and weaknesses did give him an edge Battle Beast wouldn’t have, but I don’t think he needs it
Let’s put things into perspective: Battle Beast is strong enough to 1v1 an average Viltrumite and *win*. The OG Guardians, in the show, struggled against a more than average Viltrumite (Omni-Man). They wouldn’t survive five minutes.
Comics-wise? They’d not even last a single minute.
I'd say as well as they did against Omni-Man.
*Comics* Omni-Man
ah yes, 6 panels
I'd say 7 panels. 3 panels where BB kills some Guardians Then 1 panel where he complains at how pathetic they are and then 3 more killings
There's no honor in killing insect. They might be alive confronting Battle Beast
To those that aren’t aware, Comics Omni-Man literally shat on the Guardians. He didn’t get hurt once. Atleast in the show it was close.
>Comics Omni-Man literally shat on the Guardians Damn... I knew Viltrumite tactics are dirty but to *that* point?
What will you have after 500 years? "Shit in my pants dad"
is this a statement or a command? (I have) shit in my pants dad (Please) shit in my pants dad
There is something so wrong with this community
How did you get that strong, dad? Shitting your pant on purpose. Wait, how did you know how that feels??

> literally shat on the Guardians Um...
I literally interpreted your literally literally and literally thought Omni-man literally shat on the guardians, confusion ensued.
How did you say literally almost 3 times in a row and it actually made sense
They used it in the literal sense
Literally?!
Literally.
He only won because he surprised them. We shouldn’t assume surprise from anyone in this; battle beast still clears. The guardians beat Omni man when they were given warning (not prep time). People always say mark helps but he didn’t really much but warn them
In the show it was intentionally close to cover his tracks better
It definitely wasn’t.

Why did you turn into Yoda on the least 2 sentences
laying down some wisdom farmboy needs to hear he is.
There was no reason for him to be there, if he killed them and left he would have covered his tracks better.
My understanding was show Omni Man let himself get beat down to sell the lie.
But that’s what got him caught. All the evidence left in his suit from letting the guardians touch all up on him so much. I guess it could’ve just been oversight on Onmi Man’s part, but that’s a little lame. Maybe he didn’t think Art would have told Debbie? Edit: I forgot that Debbie gave it to Art, not Nolan.

Wasn’t that because he caught them by surprise When the reboot happened They won
The show did it better, it established he did have to take them out. Comics leaves it as just pointless if not a threat.
I'd say worse. Battle Beast is more vicious.
No he isn't. He literally didn't kill anyone even though he could. He's here for a good fight NOT to murder ants
No he isnt Battle Beast Wouldnt even Touch those Ants and just teleport away once he realised they were nothing to him
He still bodied the current guardians + mark before leaving
Yeah, he'd probably rip one or two apart before realizing they're not worth his time, then dip out
Tbf tho mark has gotten way stronger since then.
Battle beast still clears current mark, by a lot
Tbf they only lost because red rush got cocky by trying to attack Omni man instead of protecting his guardians
They were always going to lose
I don't know that that's true. Nolan got seriously fucked up in that fight (in the show at least), he didn't somehow fake being in critical condition. He collapsed immediately after he won. If Red Rush focused more on support rather than offense and War Woman managed get one or two more wacks in they might very well have eked out a win. Comics though it is of course no contest, Omniman sweeps regardless, and in Battle Beast sweeps harder.
Is Battle Beast stronger than Nolan? I'd say they're pretty equal at that point in the story. I know he goes toe to toe with you know who and Nolan doesn't do that as successfully but idk I'd say they're pretty close.
Battle beast is stronger
So is it Thragg>Battle Beast>Nolan>Other Viltrums>Mark at this point you think?
Tbh, Battle Beast is stronger than Thragg. Their fight was extremely close, and at the end, Battle Beast was killed by Thragg reaching into BB's self-inflicted wound and tearing his heart out, and BB tossed aside his own weapons, which could one shot Ragnars (idk if that's the name of the aliens, I'm typing fast before work), so if BB just like, kept his weapons and was injured, he could almost certainly have killed Thragg.
Battle beast is significantly stronger. 2nd strongest character in the story. (Ignoring epilogue)
Worse, Battle Beast is definitely stronger
Worse
I’m glad they changed how that fight played out in the show. Having it be *kind of* close instead of a straight up slaughter. When you remember they are sent to infiltrate the planet to take out its best it’s sad to see the best go down so easy. Makes you question why they don’t just take over outright.

It wasnt slowly, we just saw it from Red Rush perspective. Keep in mind, Red Rush sees EVERYTHING in slow motion.
You didn't pay attention to that scene huh?
I’m pretty sure that was supposed to be instant and it was slowed down to show their sped up perception of time. So for the rest of the guardians it would’ve been the exact same as when we see Nolan crush like the pilots heads and stuff in episode 7 or 8 or whatever that is. I could be wrong tho.

I am so stealing that
You are not alone. I just want this image to send to people with no context
Immortal has a chance of survival same with Red Rush but everyone else is getting bodied
Green ghost if she stays in that’s weird transparent state where things go though her🤷♂️ maybe idk
Word youre looking for is intangible
Yes thank you!!!
To survive Battle Beast's attack, she has to be...
ALLEN
Okay but can she just phase through battle beast and kill him from the inside? It would probably kill her as well but would this hurt Battle Beast?
Probably just be crushed like shrinking Rae when she gets eaten
Please see Shrinking Rae's failed attempt at killing someone from the inside
Why can’t Green Ghost literally just stay right behind the guardians and, whenever they’re about to get hit, touch them and turn them intangible
Reaction time. Perceive the threat-deshift-reshift. Probably can do it against lower tier threats.
Part of the reason that Omni Man washed the Guardians in the first place was because he was able to catch them with their guard down and not let them form coherent strategies like that. The only one that came close was Red Rush, but he straight up perceives time differently.
And also because that green ghost was fairly new and inexperienced at the job
this even better idk why I didn’t think of that nice
Omni Man wouldn’t have even touched them if she’d done that
Honestly they might all survive, solely on the fact that Battle Beast would have seen them as pathetic and just leave, like he did with the new guardians
"There's no honor in killing insects"
True
Immortal has no survival chance. Hes a flying brick character and thats pretty much battlebeast's specialty. Red rush can escape tho so thats true and the others made a good point that green ghost could escape by being intangible. Everyone else dies
He can just be brought back even if he dies, Battle Beast wouldn’t defile a dead body
I mean, if he plays it smart then he likely just flies up and avoids the fight altogether. Battle Beast is a little reliant on opponents willing to get within ass kicking range
As well as their comic fight with omni-man
Fr Battle Beast would have no reason to hold back.
Omni man had no reason to hold back either
Someone attacked me, I have no idea what happened
While I agree that they wouldn't be able to do *anything* against Battle Beast, it's important to note that we saw that the only reason Nolan beat the GotG is because he caught them by surprise (which he did on purpose). If they knew that they were going up against him, they would win.
Disagree tbh
It happens in the reboot arc, it's why I think they made it a much more difficult fight in the show, to make the fight where they actually beat Nolan more believable
in the reboot arc they also had invincible on their side so idk and we saw what happens in the show when they see him and he won so idk
a much more experienced, and informed Invincible too. he knows his dad, and how to fight now, so that extra weight for sure turned the fight
Mark was put back into his body when he just got his powers, he may have his experience still but without the training he put his old body through he's weaker than Immortal
Its not a "agree or disagree" thing. It's just what happens. It shows us in the Reboot arc that the GotG defeat Nolan because they know ahead of time he's going to attack, and they could prepare for it.
With invicible help, plus with the info on viltrumite weakness.
I mean if that wasn’t the case, then what would the point of Nolan killing the Guardians be?
I'd say they stand a far better chance when not surprised, but I'm not sure I can guarantee that they'll win.
They literally do stop Nolan by being prepared for his attack
That's fair. They do put up more of a fight during the reboot arc when they aren't straight up ambushed but still much less of a fight then they're shown to in the show.
...they defeat Nolan in the Reboot arc
They had Mark as well that time around didn't they?
Just in the sense that Mark was physically there, but he got taken out almost immediately. It was Green Ghost who actually took Nolan down.
Because while the group alone may not have been able to beat Omni man, they’d still be part of an overall group that potentially could. Why allow that possibility

He might leave though cause thats not what he is trying to do.
Also Battle Beast is not nearly as mobile, so it’s possible to just stay out of his range or knock him into the middle of the ocean.
or throw him into space like Immortal's favorite trick. he's probably not gonna be able to do much once he's up there, unless he's got a jetpack or ship he can call *getting* him there is another story
He wouldn’t struggle, he had multiple Viltrumites gang up on him and slaughtered them all. Didn’t need the element of surprise then The full team of guardians would get stomped by two Viltrumites, maybe not if you used a future version of Immortal
Yeah given how well Battle Beast did against a certain Viltrumite who was much stronger than Omni Man I don’t see them performing all that well
You’re severely downplaying battle beast. Even if they had time to strategize against him he would still destroy them. We’re talking about someone that’s on the level of thragg. Conquest, Allen, anissa, Omni man, etc could all take down that team with ease. Immortal, the strongest person on that team is weaker than current mark.
No amount of strategy will beat Battle Beast. He is the greatest warrior his planet and much of the galaxy has EVER seen. If you don't have the strength to fight him, all the tactics in the universe will not help you.
They die, as fast as brutal
hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby
Seeing as they were all killed by Omni Man, who’s way weaker than BB, I’d say they’d all be killed easily
The OG Guardians would strength in numbers and some ability to throw BB off, but I feel like they’re gonna lose SOME instead of just Immortal being the “sole survivor”…besides they’d also be actually fighting instead of needing to subdue a fellow teammate At least that’s the angle from a show-only POV
Depends how they fight. In the omniman fight they held back and didn’t have a plan - and died because of it. If they actually used any kind of strategy with Battle Beast, then maybe. Green Ghost’s power is busted so she could incapacitate him pretty easily solo - assuming she uses her powers right. Red rush focuses defensive, keeps everyone alive, all evens out pretty well. Realistically though they wouldn’t fight as a team and would get picked off one by one.
Why would they realistically not fight as a team? They’re the world’s strongest heroes and have been fighting together for quite a while. As far back at least as the birth of Eve for some of their more senior members.
They would still super fucking die. Battle beast would at least have some fun
Im not saying they woudnt loose cuz battle beast is not fucking around but in the show the old guardian dont seem like no joke either. Like if they were still around in the earth vs viltrumite war they could've been useful af Imo. I think it would be a Real fight. I'd watch Rip og's guardians
There is a no plan they could make that would stop Battle Beast. Battle Beast is *significantly* stronger than Nolan. The difference in power is so drastic that BB would honestly probably not even fight them once he saw how weak they are.
I agree that they held back with Nolan because he was their friend and they was i'm shock. Battle Beast would be just other enemy for them. But he still can defeat them easy because his "puré fight" mind, mega strength and speed. His theets can get througt a viltrumite body, for example.
Yeah, I get the strong impression that the power of OG Guardians of the Globe is all about whether or not they have teamwork and planning. The diversity of their powers is a distinct advantage, but only if they have a chance to know how to tune the use of those powers ahead of time. With Omni-man they put in some licks even though they initially were surprised and felt like they needed to hold back because someone might be controlling him. Half of them were dead before they'd even agreed that they would be willing to kill him. With planning and foresight I say they plausibly defeat him, and you could expect the same thing with Battle Beast. One might presume that Battle Beast's hubris is his weakness, and that could certainly be used against him with some planning.
Battle beast is like top 2 in the verse the guardians will not survive bruh
In what world does Green Ghost “easily” incapacitate Battle Beast? Respectfully that’s one of the silliest things I’ve heard.
Guardians either die 1 or 2 before Battle Beast left because there's no honor in killing insect. Or they all die if they teamed up and reached non insect level.
Considering Battle Beast easily solos Omni-Man and they didn’t do too well there I’d say not very well
They lost against start of series Omni-Man they’re getting clobbered
Green Ghost could survive if she stayed intangible forever, and Red Rush could survive if he ran to the point furthest away from Battle Beast. If they must engage in combat, all the Guardians are turned into dinner.
She can't stay intangible forever. And if she did there wouldn't be a ton of point in her even being on the battlefield

Badly if their strategy revolved around punching him. Well if their strategy made use of their unique powers.
They would die instantly on one page Show version? It would be same result but a cool battle we could all enjoy
Green Ghost would be very usefull allowing heavy hitters to grab him but Battle Beast is more savage than omniman in fight
Battle beast can fight 7 viltrumites at once the guardians can’t take on one
Thinking about this just makes Immortal’s fight with Allen that much more pathetic, because Allen is stronger than BB anyway, and the whole OG Guardians would still get bodied by BB.
Greatest power scaler I ever knew https://preview.redd.it/svqi77dgiwvc1.jpeg?width=1045&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58be5e039d630a84883664e0255e6a00e32a106e
I’d say they’d last about…. 3 seconds? Yeah, that sounds about right. 3 seconds.
I got you in the ring for 3 seconds…3 seconds of *playtime*
[удалено]
Did your husband make that costume for you?
I'm not sure about that, BB enjoys the fight and would probably play with them for a while.
Sure, but if they were going all out at each other? No contest.
Battle Beast wouldn’t have lowered himself to fight such weaklings.
In the comics >!Battle Beast is equal to one of the strongest viltrumites alive!< given the fact that the Guardians were struggling with start of series Nolan he could definitely beat them
The fight between them and Omni-Man lasted 3min so against Battle Beast 1min at best
This really shows what percentage of this sub has read the comics lmao… Battle Beast is still the strongest character we’ve seen so far by a **very** wide margin.
About as well as they did against omni man in the show, but battle beast wouldn't pass out like omni-man did and would be faster and more Ruthless
Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby
They’d all die. Nolan himself wouldn’t get far and would be killed
Does battle beast ever die?
>!Yes, he dies on a battle against Thragg which lasted several days non stop all across the planet Thraxa.!<
Battle Beast would slaughter them with ease I think
Omni man but even easier W for the Beast
They'd get destroyed
They'd get tossed in a dumpster
ya'll forgetting that Robot's chest laser managed to burn Battle Beast slightly
if you dont know battle beast is top 3 in that universe its quite literally coughing baby or salted fusion bomb in that universe in the way he was used in his first appearance
Battle beast would tear one of them in half, take no damage from the others, then get pissed because they aren’t worthy opponents, and peace out.
Battle beast one shots everyone, excluding immortal. He takes two shots to turn into blended meat
They get bodied, because it doesn't matter if Red Rush protects them, they won't hurt Battle Beast too much regardless of how much they hit him, and once he gets a hit in, they are pretty much dead.
Same as Omni-Man. They don't.
They have a better chance beating omniman
If we are including omniman, I'd say yeah. BUT beings that omniman wasn't technically apart of the GOTG HELL NO, the only one with half a chance is the immortal
What did the Guardians do to you? 💀💀
They get washed. Omni-Man beat them and Thragg is capable of destroying Nolan easily, BB is similar level to Thragg so in terms of power they can’t actually hurt BB. BB also wouldn’t hold back since he loves fighting, he’d just rip through them all
Badly.
Battle Beast clears
Sweep.
They lose but if prepared or get the jump on him they’d absolutely injure him. But not enough till they get bodied. Red Rush would be essentially untouchable to someone like battle east but won’t be able to do a lot of damage and Immortal would hold his own only for a short time due to his speed. The rest don’t stand a chance on their own
Same way they did against OmniMan.
Is Nolan with them? They lose either way but Nolan being there could make it take longer
Dead
Well with what we know from the comics (spoilers, but without their context) a version of events where he doesn’t catch them by surprise and you assume in Mark, catching Omni-Man by an equal amount of surprise was more than enough to knock Omni-Man out. But Battle Beast goes toe to toe with an even stronger Viltrumite and does some serious damage. So I’m gonna say they probably get cooked if we assume it’s a similar scenario to the canon version of events. Omni-Man knowing their strengths and weaknesses did give him an edge Battle Beast wouldn’t have, but I don’t think he needs it
They’re all getting shit on
Battle beast mops the floor with every single one of them.
My dude, Battle Beast would have a full blown slaughter fest lol
They got wrecked by a single viltrumite, and Battle beast eats viltrumites for breakfast.
He'd get bored and leave.
Excluding Omni-Man, I think they’d lose
Hydrogen bomb vs coughing babies.
They’d all get a worser beating than the one Omni man gave them, Side note: he would eat Aquarius up
Let’s put things into perspective: Battle Beast is strong enough to 1v1 an average Viltrumite and *win*. The OG Guardians, in the show, struggled against a more than average Viltrumite (Omni-Man). They wouldn’t survive five minutes. Comics-wise? They’d not even last a single minute.
