    And yet, in the series, he beats this lady vitrumite when apparently he stops holding back, which is absurd considering how many times earth was close to being destroyed and he ‘held back’. This is my issue, at least from what I saw, he either is super strong and holds back all the time or his power changes with the moon

      That’s actually a key plot point. Mark comes back more durable every time he gets his ass put in hospital. What doesn’t kill him literally makes him stronger. Because he is constantly losing to galactic level threats instead of working with them, eventually he becomes the strongest one out there. (Also that scene meant to imply he had to quit acting like it was a boxing match and get vicious if he wanted to live)

        You’re confusing Mark and Allen.

        Mark, like other Viltrumites, trains, and gets more powerful with age. Beatings just hurt, they don’t do anything for his powers.

        Allen, on the other hand, works like a Dragon Ball Saiyan, getting significantly stronger after each beating (and the closer he gets to dying the stronger he comes back).

          No, I’m not. It’s the same for both. Just not so obvious early on for Mark. He ends up the strongest before he hits 40 because of this.

      Key point here is that he lost decisively to the pony tail, and was wrecked by Anissa. He momentarily held his own against a relatively weak, and past her prime viltrumite, and didn’t stand a chance against an elite like Anissa. @John_McMurray also makes a good point about Mark’s abilities.

      However, I will concede that this is a piece of pop culture, and you shouldn’t have to be a big fan of the comics in order to understand why the cartoon isn’t inconsistent. THAT is bad writing.
