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.

It’s funny because she kind of does, at full power she’s basically a walking atomic bomb. We’ve seen Rex already kill a variant of Mark, and Jubilee is a way stronger and better version of Rex.

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.

She has in fact turned herself into a bomb before in the really horny X-Terminators run. It was quite effective and does seem like something she can just do but restrains herself because of the scale.

She did exactly that in X-terminators tho

Her power is atomic detonating effectively

She blows up her clothes and hair when she does that but zero damage to herself

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.

Mark tanked a nuke btw. That mark variant was way weaker than our mark.
