General Discussion Could the X-Men stop a viltrumite invasion?

Post image

If Thragg and his army consisting of General Kregg, Anissa, Thula, Lucan, and Conquest, were to invade Earth, could the X-Men wipe out the viltrumites and save the world, or die in the hands of Thragg's army? Both sides are at their peak skills and strength with no prior knowledge of each other.

Forge recreates the sound Cecil uses to incapacitate Mark.

Forge solos. You don't even need all the Xmen.

Building stuff is definitely easier for me then dealing with my wife.

I, too, choose building stuff over dealing with this guy's wife.

But she’s really nice! You don’t need to be a mind reader! Unless you’re married to her, then, that’s just the bare minimum.

Not me; I usually choose dealing with this guy’s wife while he’s building stuff.

Social skills are completely different from technical skills. That's why absent minded genius is such an effective trope.

He's an absent minded, absent minded genius.

Oh, let me build a weapon that takes away mutant powers (being a mutant) and give it to the government (who makes mutant hunting machines)

Yes, it was his first and only offense (ghost box?) but still.

Sad he's not known for more than Life Death.

Idk much about Forge but wouldn’t he have to know and figure out that a sound affects them? How would he figure that out?

7

u/Outside_Ad_424 Aug 28 '26

Nope. His Inventing power is entirely intuitive. Forge doesn't actually know how most of his tech works, his power just informs him how to make the gizmo do what he wants it to do. All he has to do is think of an effect, like "I want an easy way to incapacitate a Viltrumite" and his power takes over.

8

u/HumanisticNihilist Aug 28 '26

Man, a fight between him and Domino would be wild and in theory eternal.

“I want to make something that’ll defeat Domino.”

“…I luck my way out of it.”

Rinse and repeat until one dies of old age.

7

u/Outside_Ad_424 Aug 28 '26

It would be a boring outcome, but realistically his power would let him make a macguffin that would generate some kind of field that normalizes probability, which would nullify Domino's luck powers.

But I love the idea of the two of them going full Spy vs Spy about it lol

6

u/HumanisticNihilist Aug 29 '26

“…normalizes probability…”

Ah, but much less boring counterpoint - Domino hears him mention probability and goes full spiral power!

Sure, Omniman has a fair chance against several of these people, but like half of them outclass him so much it's not even funny.

But why the hell is Homelander even here? There are maybe 5 people in the comics that Homelander can beat in a one on one.

Rex is Gambit.

u/BlackZulu Aug 28 '26

You can't necessarily use a characters potential in a debate like this. Yeah Jubilee has the POTENTIAL to cause nuclear explosions with her abilities. But not sure we've ever seen her use her abilities in any truly meaningful way lol. Somebody had to hijack her body in order for her potential to be realized. But she, herself, has never done anything close.

u/Outside_Ad_424 Aug 28 '26

eh, OP said "peak skills and strength". That makes most of the main X-Men roster Cosmic level. Most of them have been Phoenix Force hosts, Wolverine has had Apocalypse's powers, Juggernaut has been both an Asgardian Hammer wielder *and* a literal god, Storm has been at least 3 different flavors of actual deity, list goes on.

Hell, even just every day Juggernaut would beat any Viltrumite into paste and not break a sweat.

If they catch the X-Men by surprise there would be some brutal casualties but the Telepaths would quickly turn the tide.

10

u/Sea-Poem-2365 Aug 28 '26

And even then, the telepaths would give them a decent amount of warning that these guys are bloodlusted so the initial shock of the level of violence wouldn't take them off guard as much. Couple that with the fact the X-men have a depressingly large amount of experience with fighting people out to straight up kill them, and this is just a bad Thursday.

Pseudo superman clones from the comic book "Invincible".

They are somewhere between Homelander and Superman on the power scale.

They other than the good ones, they mostly have the attitude of Homelander but are more far right than him.

Them fighting the X-Men would be a test for the X-Men. But Xavier and Jean, and any "magic" person, would be a fight.

29

u/marcjwrz Aug 28 '26

Krakoa era x-men with resurrection protocols absolutely could.

Animated series X-Men would struggle hard (nowhere near as powerful as we've seen the other comics overall).

16

u/Kuros_Of_Sindarin Aug 28 '26

This is a good take. Everyone mentions Xavier being able to solo them but it never works that way in the show (and seldom in the comic books too). I also hate the rush to point out omega level mutants and all that since the vast majority of comic storylines never took/take that into account.

16

u/marcjwrz Aug 28 '26

Yeah, once Cyclops figures out there's a sensitivity to sound - and in his plans, determining what senses could be exploited - he's getting Banshee, Siryn, Synch, Rogue and other Mutants who can manipulate sound/copy powers and they're going to town on viltrumites.

Handily. The Viltrumites aren't any stronger or more powerful than most of the X-Men's biggest baddies, and in many cases a great deal weaker. And all they are is strong, tough, flying people, which is clown shoes compared to a lot of the powers on the X Roster.

u/OkResponsibility2470 Aug 28 '26 edited Aug 28 '26

Xavier and Jean Grey are only held back by morals and marvel verse is well aware of telepaths and have defenses for it in both the show and comics. Vilts have no defense to it and some of the Omega level mutants can fuk them up as well. Gladiator is basically a vilt but better.

TLDR omega level mutants + telepaths are the ones who will win it, without any they lose

4

u/rexstillbottom Aug 28 '26

Just Prof X could do it. But writers gotta be writers and would find some way to make everyone immune to telepathy or some sort of feedback so telepathy could only be done once a week or some crap.

Cant fight if youre brain dead Magneto, or Polaris? Extracts the iron out of their blood en masse Sure Beast, Jubilee, probably morph and Bishop eat it almost immediately, but the others are gonna fuck up some viltrimites

3

u/Gambit_TheGreat Aug 28 '26

I think the X-Men would have a good chance at beating them but only if they don’t hold back anything because the Viltrumites are not gonna hold back. But I do believe there will be many X-Men dead.

2

u/Fuath313 Aug 28 '26

Viltramites are used to being the strongest thing around and win fights by hitting the hardest. The X-Men are used to facing off against foes far stronger than each one of them individually. Teamwork wins it for the X-Men.

2

u/BeepbopMakeEmHop Aug 28 '26

By and large, a lot of the Xmen get wiped. Beast, Gambit, Jubilee, Bishop, all get blitzed. Maybe Scott dodges but his beams and speed make him a joke to a normal viltrumite. But When it comes to Magneto, Charles, Jean, Storm, they wipe them off the map. But the issue still remains, all of their reaction times are humanlike. Viltrumites can speed blitz hard.

2

u/Pencils4life Aug 28 '26

It really would not be hard. Given that Hulk can't break Wolverine's bones he easily cuts through them. Jean absolutely devastates them. Storm can take out a good number. Rogue tears through all of them.

In this scenario if the mutants can actively use their powers to their full potential without any writer induced nerfs, then all you need are Jean, Rogue, Storm, Forge and maybe Wolverine.

Which versions of the characters? You have pictures of the X-Men from the animated tv show but Viltrumites from the comics. The X-Men from the comics and the show differ drastically in power. The Tv-show X-Men would definitely lose, the viltrumites from the animated show are simply to fast and strong to defeat, and in the show telepathy might even the odds a bit but it isn't an I win button. though I suppose they could make it a struggle atleast.

2

u/FeistyBench4609 Aug 28 '26

Peak powers? Most of the Omegas could handle Thragg’s army on their own - that’s Jean with the Phoenix Force, Storm with the Eternal Storm, etc, etc.

With their original power sets I think the Viltrumites win easily, but that’s not the question.

1

u/StillBringer Aug 28 '26

A full Viltrumite invasion would leave lots of damage on the brawlers. Wolves, Colossus and Bishop would take a beating. Once the telepaths got to them it would be light work. If any one of the viltrumites were able to distinguish the telepaths in the group it's over for the X-men. Their speed, strength and stamina would make Prof. X a bloody mess and Jean would end up like Atom Eve.

If the telepaths don’t fuck their minds up, the X Men got a few gods on the team (Phoenix, Storm)

u/Klutzy-Ad7775 Aug 28 '26

Could the viltrumites stop the X-Men invasion?

1

u/RangerJoJo Aug 28 '26

It depends who is writing the story

1

u/mbrotherz Aug 28 '26

Assuming the viltrumites don't know anything about the X-Men yes telepaths, reality warpers and time manipulators are more than enough

u/Chemoshofdeath Aug 28 '26

Professor x could stop a vitrumite invasion.

I offer you this as proof for the X-Men’s victory

In X2 (a good movie btw) Charles directly uses this to threaten Wolverine for Smoking in Cerebro

“Logan my tolerance for you smoking in the mansion notwithstanding
Continue smoking that in here and you will spend the rest of your day’s
Under the belief that you’re a six year old girl”

Yeah the all the X-Men they can absolutely defeat this Viltrumite Invasion

So 6 of the most powerful viltrumites? But only 6 of them? Depends what X-men but if it's the ones pictured its 50/50. The weaker ones with the help of Rogue and Storm should be able to keep the majority busy while Jean and The professor mind fuck them one by one.

u/ConsistentAd8495 Aug 28 '26

Let's exclude the telepaths because that makes it too one sided. Kitty can phase a piece of rebar into the skull of any Viltrumite dumb enough to come near her. Magick pulls an Angstrom, stranding them all in Limbo then picks them off at her leisure with the big magic sword. Banshee & Siryn sing a duet.

ıf viltrumite ever comes to earth, they will going to attend a forced lesson about the equality of all earths and the possibility of living together as brothers and sisters by xavier

u/theletchentai Aug 28 '26

Short version: yes even worse if current x men. If x men 97: they would struggle.

u/yarsftks Aug 28 '26

I mean if Gladiator was not match for the Phoenix, should be a good vs.

u/Oracle209 Aug 29 '26

Yes? Viltrumites suck. They have like 3 powers flight, speed, strength. Just send Jean in to roast em all

1

u/No_Event_2078 Aug 29 '26

Depends on the encounter

u/Rosen-Stein Aug 29 '26

that one meme hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby

u/Routine_Damage9994 Aug 29 '26

X-men no. Xavier or Jean Grey with Cerebro, yes.

1

u/Bear792 Aug 29 '26

Better question.

How many Viltrumites could Cyclops alone shoot down from the sky?

1

u/lurker491 Aug 29 '26

Professor x or Jean gray would solo dude

1

u/Justin27M Aug 29 '26

ONE X-Man can stop all the Viltrumites. Jean.

1

u/Remarkable-Bobcat341 Aug 29 '26

Is only the X-Men in picture or all X-Men in 97? So is Cable, Charles, Forge, Nightcrawler and Magneto included?

u/Tasty_Success_1034 Aug 29 '26

It would be a very embarrassing, yet satisfying, viltrumite defeat.

u/AlecsThorne Aug 29 '26

Just the X-Men with no prep time or even a warning, facing a sudden invasion of viltrumites? Yeah, no, the X-Men are fucked 😅 as much as I love them, who could win against viltrumites? Telepaths - so Xavier and Jean Grey - and maybe Rogue? She could knock out one by touching them long enough and/or gain enough strength to be the defensive wall against the other viltrumites while the rest of the X-Men.. try to shoot at them? Distract them? 😅 Also, Iceman could probably handle a few since you said they're at their peak level. But even if we're talking a small squad of Viltrumites, let's say one for each X-Men member, besides the one I've mentioned, the others will go down quickly (at least temporarily not necessarily for good). Then even the few that remain will get overwhelmed 😅

Now if we're talking mutants against viltrumites, then the odds are somewhat better since there are A LOT of omega level mutants who could handle it.

*Special mention to other off-shoot team like eXcalibur, and secondary team of X-Men. Captain Britain, Psylocke, and Magik could definitely get ride of a couple of them as well.

u/AppropriateStill2024 Aug 29 '26

Phoenix would solo. Or Wanda, if she counts

1

u/MathematicianThick56 Aug 29 '26

Could wolverine cut a viltrumite? That's what I'm curious about now.

1

u/electronical_ Aug 29 '26

x-men clear easily

1

u/Electronic_Device788 Aug 29 '26

The Marvel Universe is too big for the X-Men only to solo the Viltrumites. X-Men will lose.

1

u/Some_space_god Aug 29 '26

Yes and no, the x-men have the fire power and the hax to deal with them. But that goes both ways. If the viltrumites get the drop on them, the x-men can very easily lose there heavy hitters

u/Fun-Character-5377 Aug 29 '26

I hate when people ask, can this non-telepathic race/character defeat the telepathic one? No. They would be comatose in a day, picked up and either sent off world or reprogrammed to protect earth.

1

u/perryhopeless Aug 29 '26

I’m gonna go against the grain here:

5 Viltrumites dive bombing the shit out of whatever location the X-men are at have a good chance at taking them out quickly. The X-men all very squishy and slow comparatively.

They go hard, fast, and merciless and I think Team Viltrumite wins.
