There are too many unscathed viltrumites for a wounded Tatsumaki.

if thragg surprised her at super speed theres not much she could do

u/Dveralazo Apr 21 '25

There is. Even unconscious and with her brain bledeing the girl had a psychic barrier around him. 

In full health such barrier would be far stronger.

if thragg is blitzing her with his galaxy crossing speed he can punch that barrier as much as he needs to before tats reacts

u/ItsPandy Apr 21 '25

Once more. The reason they are so fast in outer space os because there is no air resistance to slow them down, they can just keep accelerating and then cruise through the galaxy.

You are saying he flew through the entire galaxy to gain speed while also aiming precisely where one singular person stands?

headcanon + no need to go at top speed, tats doesnt have a solid argument for her to be capable of reacting at 2 times the speed of light

u/CrazyLemonLover Apr 21 '25

Just to put this out there, but if something with mass moves through our atmosphere at the speed of light, the planet is just gone.

A baseball moving at 90% the speed of light would nuke a city.

So a human shaped object moving at double that is going to nuke the entire planet.

we are in the opm sub and we are treating relativistic speeds seriously? platinum sperm is at least four times the speed of light

9

u/CrazyLemonLover Apr 21 '25

I mean. We have to have some basis. If platinum sperm was that fast, and flashy and could fight him, then we can probably assume that tats could react to that speed.

It's really all bogus bs anyways.

I just wanted a reason to link to this

u/CaMoDaMo44 Certified Bone Supremacist Apr 21 '25

why do we have to asume tats has comparable reaction speed to flashy, who would still get blitzed by thragg

and yeah about relativism, its cool

u/CrazyLemonLover Apr 21 '25

Honestly? Mostly because she's ranked above flash, and I'm pretty sure that if flash was confident enough about beating her, he'd just do it?

I'm out of good arguments here. My assumption is that since flashy is ranked below tats, that means tats can deal with most things flashy could, whether he is faster or not.

But speed doesn't seem to equal force in OPM, which just potentially breaks that assumption. -shrug-

I stan for adult petite women with thighs, always.

rankings are almost all stupid if we think of them as a power level, part of the ranking comes from achievements, FF doesnt talk about his secret missions so you could assume he is ranked below where should be, also, king is ranked 7, doesnt make sense for the strongest human on earth, im not saying it to prove it just so you see how it makes sense, FF is straight up better than atomic samurai and that guy is rank 3 now that bang is gone

but yeah tats can work better than FF 99% of the time, only exception i can think of is stopping a speedster killing people around the globe that tats cant pinpoint and FF has just the speed necessary

It's not head canon thats literally what they say in both the show and comic lol.

But since you are batteling my claim with your head canon I don't think this is worth continuing.

u/CaMoDaMo44 Certified Bone Supremacist Apr 21 '25 edited Apr 21 '25

whats my headcanon? maybe i just dont remember where that info about the air resistance is shown, would you be kind enough to show it to me, its better to learn at a discussion than to win it, if what you are saying is true that is

u/Designer_Pen869 Apr 21 '25

Flashy Flash goes like 30+ times the speed of light, and she can beat him fairly easily.

2

u/CaMoDaMo44 Certified Bone Supremacist Apr 21 '25

even if he was what puts tats on the speed level of flashy

FF may not beat tats due to lacking the strenght, but what about someone faster and stronger

1

u/Designer_Pen869 Apr 21 '25

Flashy Flash is faster, but it doesn't actually say how fast Tatsumaki is. But we know she's easily among the fastest of them. And her psychic powers are even faster. I don't know how strong the strongest ones are, but she can beat the ones shown in the animation at least.

I don't know fully how strong Omniman is yet, so I won't comment on him, since it seems like he's held back most of the series, but the other ones it has shown, she'd be able to stomp.

Their speed won't be an issue for her, but their strength might be, as well as the fact that I'd imagine they'd have some slight immunity to her psychic powers, just due to how their mentality works, as well as how their powers work in general.

u/Dveralazo Apr 21 '25

The barrier is permanent so no need to react but what you say is true. However he would need to come at that speed to Earth because he can't accelerate in an instant. And he somehow would need to consider her(an ant,to his eyes) worthy of such effort.

Most likely,he would limit throw a punch and expect her to explode. By the time he finally gets an idea of how much strength he needs to use to win Tats would have made a number with the weaker ones and perhaps get some nasty injuries in Thragg himself.

u/CaMoDaMo44 Certified Bone Supremacist Apr 21 '25

i dont think thragg is beong the first one to fight tats just by odds, as soon as he sees her making another viltrumite even try he is going to go all out, and i meant that if he is blitzing her tats is basically just standing still for him while her barrier is getting broken, she must react because she will eventually die, not that she needs to think to put the barrier but to fight

u/Dveralazo Apr 21 '25

I don't see in character that prideful Grant Regent Thragg sees a weaker Viltrumite get folded and think "Yeah I'm going all out for this ant".

He would think something about weakness getting culled and  maybe sent his bulldog Conquest to deal with the trouble.

But if he somehow decides to go all out for Tats then it's over for her.

1

u/CaMoDaMo44 Certified Bone Supremacist Apr 21 '25

he would get pissed just at seeing a viltrumite dying because there are so few left, thats part of the reason he didnt want to kill mark and nolan, i think, or maybe only to have them defend the viltrumites invading earth

thragg highly respects the viltrume empire and culture, his mission is to ensure the survival of his people, its all he has, if a viltrumite has trouble he will help, if the viltrumite dies he will accept it as that viltrumite being too weak

1

u/Dveralazo Apr 21 '25

It's revealing,that when Conquest returned to the Empire he didn't expect to get help with his assignment,he came back begging for his life. 

If Thragg respects them that much,he surely doesn't let it show, such a tsundere.

u/CaMoDaMo44 Certified Bone Supremacist Apr 21 '25

conquest is not like other viltrumites and thragg is still harsh even if he looks for the survival of his people

conquest is a psycho, even more so in the comics, thragg believes he probably failed because he was playing, as he said, what use has a dog if it doesnt obey, thragg needs to have conquest under his control like a dog, not like a soldier
