@Joaquim Lopes No chance to win just means everyone just give up. Having a chance to win means we can still try our best to try to win.

Like, the reason why the fight between Captain America and Thanos was so damn great was because at several times, it really seemed like Steve could have won. If he maybe didn't jump towards Thanos with such a telegraphed attack. If maybe he held onto the hammer a little bit harder. In the end, he lost, but the fact that he could have won made it such an epic fight full of tension.

Similarly, the battle on Titan between the Avengers and Thanos was also like this. It really seemed like if they had just done a little bit better, they could have gotten the gauntlet off of him. If instead, we got the comics version of Thanos with the comics version of the stones, then it'd be no contest. Our heroes lost, and we know it because of how obviously wide the power gap is. No tension, because you just know they will lose.

If Omniman was as strong as he was in the comics, my reaction to that fight wouldn't be being on the edge of my seat, my heart beating 10 times faster than normal, sweating bullets, etc. I'd be "whelp, looks like Earth is screwed. I guess everyone should just give up now?" And the show wouldn't have nearly held up as well through Season 1. Heck, if that happened, I might not have even bothered to watch the next episode, because I've already seen this kind of unbalanced shit so many times before, and I know I'm bored of it.

I've seen so many times what happens when a writer believes that a stronger character must make for better story / character. Sometimes, the far smarter move is to have some restraint and make your characters weaker. And to have that restraint is impressive, since a lot of DC and Marvel writers seem to always want to make their characters reality busters eventually. I like Tony Stark as a character, but come on, him being able to program his own universe into existence is just too damn much.

Imagine a horror game where the monster is so powerful and you are so weak that you don't even get the chance to do much of anything before it yeets you into the afterlife. After the first couple of times, you just know what's gonna happen. Bad game. A good horror game gives you limited means of surviving, but there are still means of surviving.

Plus, having Earth's heroes put up that good of a fight goes against Nolan's idea that humans are so underneath him like he says. Look at us, puny little ants, who made a god bleed, not just once, but multiple times.

Making the Guardians that much weaker than him instead makes a huge disservice to humanity. And a lot of the show's themes once you get to the climax is that humanity is worth fighting for. That's why Cecil and his crew were able to put up such a good fight against Nolan, despite having no powers of their own. That's why it's Mark's human side that finally gets through to Nolan, when his Viltramite side utterly failed to match him in power.

@Tobs Onasanya
You're still saying it. You're still just Ignoring my argument. Do you have no rebuttal and think that if you ignore it enough it'll go away?

Last try: How is experience required?

All Barry has to do is Use His Power. He doesn't fail because he can't understand the intricacies, he fails because he stands there Letting villains escape.

How much training does he need to learn "You have super speed"? He fucking USES it, I'm pretty sure he should be aware he HAS it, and yet in many scenes, he apparently doesn't know.

It's an on/off "Solve every problem" switch that he just Doesn't Flip because of narrative contrivance.

He doesn't need military training. He doesn't need to learn martial arts. He doesn't need to study the arcane source of his power. He doesn't need to realize new and unexpected aspects of his alien physiology. He just needs to see a person jogging away and REMEMBER "Oh wait, I can move faster than them. That's literally my one and only power, which I have used before, multiple times, and would solve this situation with Near-0 effort on my part."

It ain't Spiderman learning how to manufacture and test and aim web shooters on the fly while calculating swing angles in his head and checking the strength of potential supports he may attach things to, it's Throwing A Fucking Punch. And not even a GOOD punch. He could put his thumb inside his fingers and give an ineffectual limp wristed knuckle scrape across their arm and STILL defeat 90+% of his opponents because of the force involved. And because he has Super Speed he's aiming at what is effectively a Statue, and he has All Day to do it.

Tell me, what does he need experience IN? What would experience Teach him?

TO BE FAIR, the guardians were taken by surprise and didnt know whether omniman was acting on his own free will or was being controlled so they probably didnt have a killing intent at first, RR probably thought his punches would be enough to KO omniman without killing him

Also episode 7 implies omniman hid his power level while he was on earth, Cecil thought a low yield bomb would be enough to knock him unconcious which was not the case, so to recap

- omniman had the element of surprise
- he had the killing intent
- he fooled everyone into thinking he was weaker than he actually was

so RR made an understandable goof, its ok champ, youll get him next time

I think his death is also the most brutal, as he experiences it over a much longer period of time, slowly getting his head crushed in, with his desparate punches quickly breaking his own wrists, but he keeps them coming cuz he cant find an alternative. To me, his death was the most heart-wrenching

MikosOnyx 01

Also im pretty sure it was the very first death in the series, while all we got before was a little bit of blood. For someone who didn't knew anything about invincible before watching the first episode.... Let's just say, i was shocked at it.

Arguably

@Resh Nah. It was probably about 20 seconds for him, because Omniman held his head for about 15 seconds in the episode and most of that time was shown in RR's time perception

Anomaly

A lot of people in this reply section are forgetting that speedsters can control the speed of which they perceive everything. That comment he made was likely just in regards to when he’s moving fast, or to just give an idea of what his speed is like. They don’t just live life in slow motion, otherwise how would they even be able to talk to people in the first place? Or understand what they’re saying? That would just mean they’re constantly moving fast for no reason. I’m pretty sure he still had his brain moving at fast speeds in that moment probably in case there was a chance he could escape and make a fast retreat, but before he knew it he was crushed and ended up using it till the very end.

Well him stopping Omni-man's punch is pretty explainable.
He lacks super strength, sure, but he's running at god knows how fast, and is carrying god knows how much kinetic force with him.

He just used the kinetic energy he was running with to cancel out the kinetic force of a super strength punch.

I'd have loved to see a show about that team before Omni-man.

Chris Carlos

I viewed it similarly. Doesn't matter what the force is, he just needs to come at the force from a different angle enough to push it out the way. Omni man may have strength, but his punch can be deflected still if the some opposite force can direct it somewhere else. Omni man isn't focused on maintaining direction, he is throwing all his force into one direction.

In a similar example to the real world. A smaller person can topple over a larger person with the right directional force vector if said larger person was say running in one direction. You don't need to stop the man, just change his trajectory and physics will take the rest.

The-0-Endless

yeah, just body slam the forearms at 0.9 mach to bend the elbows and make the punches miss

CapitalGearGaming

To be fair he then never uses that power when he actually fights Omni-Man, before he dies, he barely taps him like a feather. So it's either Red Rush is big dumb or the writers made a mistake and forget he could, incidentally I never noticed it before and I don't think many people really did.

Gwyneth

this! everyone just forgets the very concept of velocity. like how do bullets work in the first place? they're not powerful because of the material they're made of, but because of the speed that they're going

ichigo kurosaki

tbh that force probably would've killed him. He probably had some super strength/durability because that is the only way he could've done that. imagine running at that speed into a brick wall

If you notice, Red Rush only hits Omniman where he is NOT looking. When Omniman looks right, he comes from the left. Omniman figured out the pattern and caught his fist.

Malygon

Alright, but how does figuring out a pattern help with catching a speedster's fist? If they are fast enough to evade lightning and bullets..... well hands move much slower. When Omniman started moving his hand to a position that would catch Red Rush's fist then Red Rush should've had more than enough time to react and rethink his attack. It's a common trope with speedsters how they are able to dodge bullets but routinely get punched. Predicting a pattern would help with an invisible foe but not a realistic speedster.

Dr Jonesey

@Commander 0 The story is written how it's written but when we speaking on these things we speak from an outside perspective as if t's real life and what could have happened in a realistic (however real that may be for Super Heroes) situation. There's really no need to dig too deep to see that they could have beat Omni-man BUT the story requires for them to lose. The only question is, when you are a writer and a story requires something, how can you make it believable enough and stick as close to the characters previous characteristics that you have shown your readers or viewers.

A clear example (Not sure if people played the game Last of us 2-but it's been out for some time now) the big issue with one of the main characters death was that it was not in character how it occurred AND the plot that drove it to occur was pretty weak and shoe horned in which made it feel unnatural. Basically, bad writing. Omni-man won this fight, because the story required it to happen, but he didn't just breeze through them, he got pretty tore up which made people feel justified in his win. BUT if you remove the need to make Omi-man win, they could have took him but some of them still would have died because the way the encounter was set up as a sneak attack and them holding back and being surprised.

Red Rush I believe would have stuck to defense just like he did when they were doing team work and he would defend citizens during fights and attack when possible and he wouldn't be dumb enough to create a pattern of attack to get grabbed like he did. If he can block Omni-Man's punches and he knows Omi-Man is a brute/brawler, there's no reason to attack him head on when you have a team with 2 Brutes/Bralwers yourself. He could have easily let the Brutes handle the 1 Brute, let the distractor heroes tag from distance and block Omni-Man when necessary. A brute punches Omni-Man, Omni-Man swings back, blocked, distractors attack (flash bang or such) he's off balance, brutes continue assault. Idk, I feel like the fight could have been written a bit better and they still could have made Omi-Man win.

Adam Bland

@Simon Ravencroft I mean still though he got broken rib from the punches so taken the fact that his balls are as strong as the rest of his body. It would still at least hurt omni mans chances for busting a nut without breaking his nut for a few days. And again dude dont forget red rush did not have the reach for his ears.Also, ouch and wow for the mule thing.

Simon Ravencroft

@Adam Bland my balls are of steel. Viltrumite balls are made of stronger stuff.

Simon Ravencroft

@Adam Bland ha! That's where your wrong! Viltrumites have balls as solid as the rest of their body, and I happen to have balls like solid steel. I've been kicked there by a mule, but it was the mule that dropped when I kicked right back in the mules balls. For Omni-Man, it's the ears. Go for the EARS, not the balls.

In the fight against Omniman he was also the hero that hurt him the most, arguably. All the bruises on his chest, the damage to his clothes. But, what they should have done is had him run away to warn HQ. Omniman would have never caught up to him.

Sa Prin

@Czarewich The issue is that omniman is fighting not to maim, but to kill, and the issue is that no one but villains have that mindset.

In other words, the superheroes would've just been killed. Dead, point, done. To remind you, they drop a fucking nuke on omniman, then have him face against mosters that should've been able to defeat him. Yet... He lived.

GippyHappy

@Froge I don’t know if that’s accurate, I haven’t watched it in a while, but I stand by it since again if he bolted he’d be sentencing the other guardians to death. Strategically the right choice, but emotionally understandably difficult to make.

Actually, red rush can hit quite hard. As we see when he’s punching Omni man as his skull is being crushed, he actually breaks through his suit and damages Omni man. If you watch the rest of the fight you will notice that the majority of the hits that Omni man takes are to the head, not the body, since Martian man was covering his body while restraining him, so the internal damage done to him (mentioned in the hospital scene) was likely in part caused by red rush’s punches. As we see later, not even mark, while enraged, was able to even lightly damage Omni man. This means that red rush, with his repeated high speed punches, actually hits harder than mark. Much harder. The problem is that he can’t take hits, which is why he ended up breaking his hands while punching Omni man. Since he didn’t take any visible damage from the punch that he blocks it’s likely that he didn’t actually block it, but instead redirected it away from war woman. He’s basically their glass canon. I wish he had stayed on defense because then they might have won.

@Joaquim Lopes the show does it better because the guardians had a real chance to win. For dramatic tension to happen in a fight, there has to be a chance of either party to win or lose. Same reason why it was a great decision to nerf a lot of the strong marvel characters for the mcu, and at the same time, buff a lot of the weaker ones. The story benefits from the characters having smaller gaps in their power levels.

Red Rush saves the other Guardians by protecting them from Omni-Man's attacks, but as soon as he starts attacking himself, everything goes to shit. Just goes to show support should never DPS.

Dima S

@Neko anyone who would attempt to escape would be killed cause it would be asier for omniman killing them one by one, though. You kinda forget that Omni-man has super-speed so multi-tasking against him would be possible ONLY if they rehersed possibility to fight against him beforehand which they obviously had no reason to do since they all had lots of villains to fight for at hand and omniman acrted as ally of theirs for years and years.

Neko

@Dima S I guess the entire point is that they are unified as a team until they're caught completely off guard. If the support (Considering Omniman's power, support in this fight should have been Darkwing, Red Rush, Aquarus, Green Ghost, Martian Man) had been unified as a team, they all would have worked together to make sure that Omniman COULDN'T focus on a single target. Darkwing should have either left and alerted HQ or stayed back in the shadows to throw explosives (which would help distract) because my dude was completely useless in this fight. Green Ghost seems interesting, I wonder if she could have made herself solid inside Omniman, basically splitting him open and making his impenetrable skin worthless.

They all have unique enough abilities to make it so he can't multitask everything coming at him, especially if Red Rush keeps moving teammates out of the way (this is what he should have been focused on). They absolutely could have taken him-- hence why Omniman played dirty and planned this since he arrived on Earth.

Glitch Duck

It's literally me when I'm trying to turn the healer into the dps

Xao_Phan

Healers should dps in FFXIV, raids and particularly Savage difficulty, are balanced around the concept of all 8 players doing constant damage. That's why they are given DoT spells and regen/mitigation spells.

The only thing that changes is the focus from learning a fight to clearing, then farming. While learning, you focus on healing, moving from phase to phase as mechanics get learned. While clearing, you should dps mildly in case you have to clutch. Finally, when you reach farm status, you should be completely aggressive and just keep an eye for possible mistakes, be it yours or your teammates'.

Dima S

it would go to shit regardless. Ominman adapted to his speed and it wouldnt matter if Rush tried to deflect his fist aimed at War Woman or attacked himself -he would be grabbed either way.

I was honestly super sad when he died, for this very reason. He seems like a super tactical entity, and generally seemed to be a generally level-headed individual. And it makes sense, with the whole "Time is slow to me" allowing for a huge advantage, which, while not used the best it could be (see the Webtoon series "The Boxer" for the best example ever), was still probably the best representation in media I've seen of super-speed.

Its really not an idiot ball because red rush is only so smart. He attacked on the opposite side like he does with every other fight and Omni man guessed it instantly, but it was clear he was slower than red rush, so an average person would probably also make this fatal mistake. You also forget that before this happened Red Rush was not privy to the information that Omni man was trying to kill them as he was the first to die.

Unfortunately he's not THAT smart since, if he had focused PURELY on Defending the other Guardians...they probably would have beaten Omni-man. But he tried to go offense and once he went down they were all screwed. As for how he blocked the one hit on War Woman...i'd guess it's similar in principle to Flash's 'Infinite MAss Punch'. Speed = Mass and Density. If he's moving fast enough then..at least for a split second...he would be "tough enough" to block(or at least deflect/redirect) Superstrength punches.

All he had to do was focus PURELY on defending the other Guardians and running interference for them. Then they would have had time to get their heads in the game and overwhelm Omniman.

Vince

@Azhiru You should do some more research, that isn't how effective mass works.

Azhiru

@Just Some Nobody At relativistic speeds, effect mass is affected by speed. near lightspeed, a punch would be at near infinite mass.

Blocking Omni-man's punches at that speed kinda makes sense. Assuming his powers are similar to the flash, he should have something akin to the infinity punch. If not (which I assume is more likely) he would still have enough momentum in the run and force that it could match omni man, punch for punch. Ofcourse, he needs to have his whole body moving, which makes sense as Omni man is able to crush his head despite the flurry of blows.

Red Rush DOES have enhanced strength. He is not just as physically strong as Immortal or War Woman.

Red Rush was my favorite from the Guardian’s short stint (Immortal being a close second for his relatable “just throw him into space” line and cause a bearded hunk is 👌 )
But Rush was my favorite because well the accent helped and the fact that his relationship with his wife was lovely and the aftermath was absolutely heartbreaking.
Also, remember when he said that time moves slower for him? His head was crushed and it took three seconds TOPS in real time… but I love how the slow motion was used with indicating how slow and painful his death really was for him.
Also Olga sweetie “he’s finally standing still but I can’t see him” I uhhhh… don’t think there’s much of him left to see

Being super fast also allows you to be super strong as well. Imagine a punch with the speed of 200 km/h? That would be deadly

AngelicusEXperiment

That wouldn't be too helpful without super durability as well, though. Remember, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The super strength power is both the ability to perform work and resist destruction. Without the latter, then that 200 km/h punch will... well, you saw what happened while Rush was punching Omni-man desperately.

Red Rush's death is even more horrifiying when you remember that he told his lover that from his perspective the world basically moves in slow motion. That means that for him it took anywhere from hours to days for his head to be crushed. His head was basically being crushed in slow motion.

Honestly I don't think he necessarily "blocked" the attack head on as much as he simply matched the speed and force of the punch with his body to riposte/redirect Omni-Man's fist, however I'm NOT saying that it's not a magnificent feat for him because it's honestly remarkable, (I also never noticed this) and I feel as though this is possibly another overlooked feat of the Guardians of the Globe members that gives proof that they could've beat Omni-Man if they were prepared for it and were given a bit more of a notice that he was coming for them.

QuiteStrange

2:01, my theory is that Red Rush probably knew that using his arms to actually block the punch would have been very stupid and would have resulted in him having two broken arms. Instead he most likely caught Omni Man’s fist and pushed him back, or maybe he just knocked it away when Omni Man was about to hit War Woman

2:04 since he's traveling across their fight, he's probably deflecting the momentum of the punch, whereas e.g. Green Ghost was standing still and took it directly to (through) the face.

The only thing I can say in flashes favor is that in the live action show he does. It seem to mentally process life as fast as he runs until he messes with time. Another thing against that flags is that before reaching that speed he would go blind through color shifting

he didn't just lose to the strongest man on earth, he did SIGNIFICANT damage to him. he did more damage than the rest of the guardians did to omniman

Nobody From Nowwhere

1:55 I don't think he "blocked" it; I think he misdirected it. It's like how you can push a car off the road just by tapping it in the right (or wrong) place. The only think I felt like they got wrong was that he should be able to hurt ANYONE, even Omni-man, by throwing rocks, daggers, ball bearings, etc, at insane speed, like a human railgun. Although, maybe his speed isn't as fast as Flash, so maybe it's not possible for him. Flash could throw a pebble at the speed of light and the resulting impact could obliterate an entire city, country, or continent depending on the exact mass and speed of the object.

Serenity

To show one of the reasons i loved the blocking scene, is it shows him running up then running away, most likely using the force generated by running a huge distance to redirect Omni mans punches rather then full out block them. Cleaver use of physics :o

The negatives of being grabbed by someone fast is actually explained by the speed force but really it opens up more issues so it doesn't matter really

Local Maple

2:05 Force = Mass x Acceleration. This was shown in an arm wrestling competition between Tsunade and Raikage: Strength wins unless Speed can build up momentum.
Also, Omni Man spun counter clockwise with the hit. This wasn’t counter force, but a redirection.

I have to point out one thing is that Flash has the speed force meaning he can grab or snatch people at super speed with out killing them. The speed force basically makes an area around a speedster normal that's why they can see and talk with out running out of air or going temp blind.

The sad thing about his death is that from his perspective it must've been very slow and painful. He took the effort to hit Omni-man with all those super-quick punches in the span of 5-10 seconds which could've been hours for him. That madlad chose to suffer so the other guardians have a slightly better chance of surviving.

When red rush was grabbed and then slowly killed, he did some damage to Omniman so I guess he has some level of durability since depositing that much force would have a side effect, so I guess you could say the same thing for the blocked punch at the 2:00 mark. That and it kinda looks like he slightly redirected it.

I am de Pie

More speed means more mass and since he was running fast I guess he pushed Omni Man's fist and with the added speed he was able to actually move it, so maybe that's why he was able to "block" Omni Man's fist and keep him from hitting War Woman.

DarkAllNight

I just realized that Red Rush's death was probably psychologically one of the worst considering by his own words he experiences things at a much faster rate, meaning while it didn't take as long from our POV for Omniman to crush his head, to him he had to feel his brain being squeezed to mush for much longer.

its a shame DC can't get the flash right, he's practically a super genius in the comics.

HesZedJim

He didn't "block" the hits head on, he deflected, which is much more effective against brute force.

Burp Bot

He has to have some degree of super durability when he runs, or else the friction would kill him. It's possible that his durability scales with his speed, which would explain why he was capable of blocking Omnimman's punch with a running start, or why he managed to make Omniman bleed with a super-rapid series of punches. Btw when his skull was getting crushed, we perceived that at Red Rush's speed, to everyone it happened in an instant.

Aqz

If omni man is incredibly durable and red rush can hit him at extremely high speeds without immediately shattering his arm, then he must have some degree of super durability. This explains how he survived blocking the punch for war women and why the head crush took so long.

Beamonster Everything

I think when he blocks omnimans punch, he's more of pushing his arm to miss rather than blocking it. But he could also be matching the force of omnimans punch with his speed canceling it. Or dispersing most of the energy in his punch.

Abiy BattleSpell

when u get hit u can actually reduce the impact by having it roll on u by moving into it. kinda like how parkour guys will roll when they do big jumps to reduce impact. red rush prob did something similar with his super speed. especially with his speed he wouldnt really have to be taking the actual hits. just move with punches to almost redirect em so they wouldnt damage him and so he could keep em away from war woman.

Arklados

Also the fact that he points out that he perceives everything super slowly because of his speed was awesome.

Red Rush did more damage to Omni Man than The Hammer and Kaiju combined in just a second and a half.

Dom Fikowski

@Gay Deer, I've thought about that, actually! I don't think Red is strong enough to carry the mace, I'm assuming it's too heavy for anyone aside from War Woman, Immortal or Viltrumites to properly wield. I can't imagine otherwise how devastating that combo would be.

Wait so if he got the mace thing a hit Omni man with it would it do way more damage to we’re it either knocks him out or maybe kills him?

I love this video, and all the videos you've made this far, but there is one problem I found during my watching of this video. You were talking about The Flash not having a realistic side effect to using super speed. Well, in episode 2, The Flash begins to pass out constantly. They found a solution to this problem, via consuming enough calories that is suitable around 850 tacos. I know, It's sort of outrageous paying for food to last you that long. But all in all, good video!

How did he stop the punches? Maybe he was moving in that direction with an equal velocity to soften the impact?

I like to interpret the scene with omni man where red rush was redirecting the momentum of omni man’s fist just before it connects instead of directly blocking them.

If you haven't already I'd recommend reading Invincible. It's one of the best superhero comics I've ever read. Things actually have stakes and people the main characters aren't invulnerable. People use their powers like you'd imagine we would of if we woke up as viltrumites tomorrow. The story and side stories are really interesting too (well, most of them, some are just not that interesting), and after watching your flash videos, one way I could describe Invincible is that it's the exact fucking opposite of whatever that garbage CW's Flash shit is.

I assumed that Red Rush deflected Omni-Man's punch, rather than outright blocking it, because of the obvious strength difference.

Jay T.

His demise came about from the same pitfalls of any speedster, he stopped playing into his strengths for one second and got promptly killed in a brief moment.
Funny how quickly the "fastest things alive" get taken out from one mistake. The difference here is just how grave the consequences were to said mistake.

The most messed up thing about that death, is that RR perceives time wayyyy slower.
So it probably felt like a week of his head being crushed. :(

All these bits about stuff from invincible remind me why I love the show so damn much.
It's got it's faults, sure, but there was a lot of thought put into it.

There have been theories that Red Rush went through the most painfull death out of everyone. They say that since for him a second still is like "ages" for us the 10 seconds of his death were fast, but imagine how long and painful it was for him. Utter torture

Night

There's no way Omni Man would've lost to the Guardians, he was holding back so he wouldn't cause destruction so no one would find out it was him who killed them but if he was forced into a bad position he would've destroyed the area in a heartbeat

Vito C

When Red Rush was rapid-fire punching and breaking his fists against Omni-Man's chest, the other Guardians were moving in slow motion. He was moving at super-speed even within his own bullet-time.

CardinalS!n

My assumption is that Red Rush is moving into Omni-Man's punches, moving them at such a speed where his strength doesn't mean much.
The force from him moving Omni-Man's hand is probably what that boom is.

I just realised since he thinks in super speed, it would've taken so long for his head to actually get squished from his perspective. What an awful way to go.

Just Some Guy With a Top Hat

Actually, during the entire fight you see omniman doing weirdly timed pauses looking for him, i think what they tried to convey is that omniman eventually got him despite him being extremely careful.
You can see all kinds of weird things on fights in this show, including positioning changing mid-cut and weird power levels, i think Invincible focused much more on the story than on the fights (even though they make better fights than many movies), they are mostly one sided massacres.

Florian S

Also what needs to be pointed out is that the directors took the time to establishe that Omniman is almost on par with Red Rush in term of speed, making it more beleivable that he was abble to catch him.

Saint Lucus

I think that Red Rush was able to block the punches by simply applying all of the force he could to Omnimans fist so that it would be off to the side enough to be dodged. Like if you tried to fight someone, but they had a buddy with dishing wire around your arms, pulling it every time you punched.

I swear, if red rush had focused on blocking Omni Man’s punches like he did with saving War Woman in that one scene, the Guardians would have beat the shit out of Omni Man. Unfortunately Red Rush pulled a dumbass move and decided to start punching the superpowered alien that can survive in outer space and is bulletproof, but Red Rush was still such a great character for the short period of time we saw him. I hope he returns in a future Invincible season through time travel shenanigans and whatnot, or flashbacks.

Thinking about it, causing internal damage to Omniman seems impressive. Sure, he breaks his hands on omniman's chest... but you have to consider the fact that Omniman has been shown to CASUALLY bulldoze through entire cities at high speeds. So omniman can take hitting several tons worth of rebar, steel beams, and concrete hitting over and over at hundreds of miles per hour* without a scratch. But this guy breaks his ribs and punctures his lungs with his hand meat. I assume Red Rush has some kind of super durability to survive his own movements.

*crashing through a wall with your face at a hundred miles per hour isn't that different from having that same wall throw at your face at the same speed. Well, maybe you can brace for impact a bit better, but the principle applies. Mark was also pretty good with it- most of his damage came from the beatdown, rather than the shredded city, and omniman very intentionally used his face for that.

Vulcan

I think he blocked omniman's strikes due to his perception of time he was able to run in and tap his fist so his weight shifts and his punches are staggered and misdirected

Clash Con

I hope we get more Red Rush.

Any problems flash has is just answered through speed force

The speed force pretty much defies logic and fixes any issues flash has that would ruin his concept

X-Entrik 97

Omniman's punches are powerful because they have great momentum so even small inertia is big enough to doom the receiving object. How can he stop such a powerful punch? Well, if he super speed to allow his own hand to move along the the punch as one unit (eliminating inertia) and then gradually apply force in the opposite direction till a stand still, he can greatly reduce the impact. This will work even better if instead of just applying opposite force, he also changes the direction.

Does TV Flash not have the speedforce? I thought the comics established that the speed force protects people around him from side effects. Otherwise him running past someone could kill them. The air current would throw people around.
