Who is Image Comics' Thaedus? Viltrum's "Great Betrayer"
Рет қаралды 155,633
3 жыл бұрынThis video explores the abilities, powers, and origin of the Image Comics character "Thaedus." From being the first Viltrumite to turn away from their species' conquering ways, using his scientific genius to develop both strains of The Scourge Virus, dispatching of the Viltrumite Emperor Argall, taking his qualms with the Viltrum Empire to the point of founding the Coalition of Planets with the Unopians and Geldarians among others to resist the expansion of the Viltrumites' Empire, helping develop the Unopan breeding program to create an alien Super-Soldier that resulted in the powerful Allen the Alien, leading the Coalition's High Council in it's strategies for victory, sparking the Viltrumite War by ordering the incursion at the Dridell Outpost, personally leading forces to the orbit of the Viltrum planet, using his genius and strategic mind to enact an impromptu surge that destroyed the Viltrumite homeworld, to his valiant last stand-off against the strongest Viltrumite ever named Grand Regent Thragg; Let's take a look at this wise Image Comics superhero, and one of the smartest and most strategic Viltrumites in the Invincible Comics Universe. This includes a short, canon character biography and my own opinionated "Sage Rating," which I use to give ratings of comic book and science fiction characters.

This is the dude that, _by his own will,_ defied the conquering ways of his people, took out the brutal king of Viltrum, formed a coalition to fight against his own people, and held true to his beliefs for _millennia,_ to go against the Viltrum empire. Nolan was deeply conflicted and had to be shown by his son, another species, and circumstances that his conquering ways were wrong. Mark was born on Earth, hadn’t developed his powers until late, and had empathized with humanity. Thaddeus was alone in his march, but he _kept marching._ Thaddeus is truly a 10/10 if you ask me.

Also, both Allen, Mark and Nolan were able to exchange blows with Thragg while Thaedus died easily with 1 blow.

Thaedus wasn't weaker than Nolan & Mark though, it's just that the whole time Thragg wasn't taking them serious until they blew up the planet and then he got pissed and stopped holding back. He could've easily ripped off the head on any of them, but he went straight for Thaedus because he's the one who killed their ruler.
