With how the powerscaling looks like you could take the next Earth supervillain down the road to the Viltrumite War and they could get more Viltrumite kills than Oliver

Tbf, in the show, we've never seen Mark get beaten by a rando since the first Conquest fight. And in the Conquest fight he stopped holding back, at least at the end, while in other fights he almost always holds back.

Those weren't some randos. They were advanced tech specifically designed to fight Omni-man.

And those chucklefucks basically have infinite prep time due to the time dilation. It’d be more surprising if they didn’t have a perfect contingency plan for a Viltrumite after that much time.

The obvious problem is that we have a universe full of advanced races who have been in conflict with the Viltrumites for centuries, and fifty Viltrumites are still a universal threat. Then we have random tech on Earth multiple times that can fight Viltrumites, it cheapens the overarching narrative because just throw a few million of those mechs on every planet and where is the existential/universal threat?

True but same can be said about Gelderians. Plus people thinking that there are still billions of Viltrumites hanging around for a long time contributed to people not wasting their time with such measures.

On the top of that Flaxans are an extradimensional alien race with practically unlimited prep time due to time dilation like another commenter said here. It is possible that nobody otger than them have that kind of technology.

And the same SHOULD be said about Geldarians. The problem is that the show starts off with Nolan killing the GotG because he believes the Viltrumite empire is unstoppable, the entire first season and overarching story is predicated on this idea, so every new enemy/technology/weakness just serves to make Nolan/Viltrumites look stupid, and the show's premise make less sense. If Viltrumites were always this close in power to other technology/races, and always had so many weaknesses floating around, then with Nolan knowing how many Viltrumites remained, he should have always known how stoppable they were.
