 Right now, Anissa would be telling you about how the Viltrum Empire would turn this planet into a utopia. She’d tell you you’re a fool to try and prevent this—that we would be helping the people you believe you are protecting from us. I will not tell you any such thing. The truth is, I want you to resist. I’m not here because I want to spread the Viltrum Empire. I’m not here because I believe in one cause or the other, or that I’m fulfilling some kind of honorable duty. I’m here because I enjoy this.

History

Conquest receiving his injuries from the Rognarr

Conquest was born on Viltrum and was one of the few Viltrumites who survived The Scourge Virus. After the infection left his system, Conquest found himself vulnerable and his strength greatly diminished. Arriving on a planet inhabited by The Rognarr, his right arm was ripped off, his face permanently scarred, and he was blinded in his right eye.

Invincible War: The Aftermath

The news reports about what happened in the Invincible War. Many cities were leveled and thousands killed. Savage Dragon is interviewed and says that the Mark from their reality is not responsible. Mark watches in horror as Eve clings to her life in a coma. Cecil arrives to ask Mark for help in the clean-up effort. Mark accepts, but says that he will not work for Cecil again. The various Image Comics superheroes help with the clean-up of Manhattan and begin saving those who survived the aftermath.

Conquest appears before Mark to check his status of his Viltrumite duties on Earth

Mark begins helping with the clean-up effort and notices many dead bodies, deepening his depression. Then, an aged Viltrumite arrives on the scene to inform Mark of his Viltrumite duties.

The Viltrumite reveals his name to be Conquest, and he reminds Mark that if he hasn’t helped take over the planet by now, he will be replaced, and if he resists, he will be killed. Mark tells him that it isn’t a good time. Conquest responds that Viltrum Empire knew of Mark's resistance, which is why they sent Conquest specifically. He tells Mark that he has never failed in conquering a planet, and Mark will die if he fights back. Mark responds that he has been waiting for someone to fight as an outlet for his rage. The duo charge into each other, causing a large shockwave around the area.[4]

Conquest and Mark collide into each other

Mark and Conquest charge into each other and the shockwave causes a large amount of debris to rise up, and threatening the nearby relief workers. Conquest easily overpowers Mark, crashing him through a building. He tells him that, while Anissa would be emphasizing the stupidity of trying to stop the Viltrumites from making Earth their planet, Conquest doesn’t care about Earth or adding it to the Viltrumite Empire. He simply enjoys unmitigated violence, and is usually forbidden from unleashing his full destructive capabilities until now.

Mark uses the opportunity to punch him, but Conquest isn’t affected and simply smiles. Mark becomes angry and rushes into him, sending him through a building. Conquest lifts the debris and holds Mark by his neck with one arm. Mark smashes his fist on Conquests' temple. Conquest smiles and replies “very good.” Mark punches him again, and it launches him into orbit.

Invincible vs Conquest

Conquest smiles again and charges back to the stratosphere and collides with Mark. Mark is able to break his hold this time, reminding Conquest that he already used that trick. Conquest states “enough games” and punches Mark in the eye hard enough to break one of his monocles. Mark flies down at a fast speed while Conquest pummels him. Mark holds hand over his eye, which is severely brushed from Conquest’s punch. Oliver, Debbie, and her boyfriend Paul witness Mark’s battle on the news. Oliver rushes to help him, worrying Debbie. Paul assures her that the duo can handle the battle.

Oliver attempts to catch up to Conquest and Mark, but the duo are moving too fast. Mark attempts to talk with Conquest, but Conquest refuses to stop since he’s genuinely enjoying the battle. Oliver ambushes him and Conquest demands to know who he is. Mark rushes to save Oliver and throws him aside so he can escape. Conquest pushes Mark down with his elbow at his neck.

Mark headbutts Conquest, much to his amusement. He catches Mark last punch and says if he this is all the strength he has, he will likely die. Under the Pentagon, Cecil learns of the battle and rushes to see if D.A. Sinclair has the 4 alternate Marks ready as Reanimen. Sinclair informs him that their dense tissue makes him unable to cut through to make the Reanimen process. Cecil looks in horror, stating “ then God help us all.[6]"

Adam and Betsy Wilkins watch the news by Eve as she wakes up. The news mistakenly believes Conquest to be Omni-Man. Eve wakes up after two days of being in a coma, asking where Mark is. She sees Mark fighting on TV and rushes to ready to help. She accidently reveals his identity as Invincible. Eve tells a doctor to get Cecil to transport her to the battle. Conquest tosses Mark around effortlessly and reveals that he met his father while Nolan was younger, showing that he is much older than Nolan is.

Oliver interrupts and catches him off guard and helps Mark up. Oliver uses Conquest advanced age as a reason they can beat him. Conquest argues that him being old doesn’t mean you should underestimate him. He swats Mark away to fight Oliver. He punches Oliver, making lose many teeth, and breaks his arm. Conquest attempts to rip him in half, but Mark stops him. He goes back to fighting Mark and Cecil has a med-team pick up Oliver.

After three days, Mark wakes up from his coma after being patched up from having his forearm broken, hand broken, skull fractured, and his leg broken. Eve visits him, relieved to see him awake. She asks if he remembers what happened. The thought of it makes him cry and how he thought she died.

She reveals to Mark that with emotional trauma, she can use her powers on living, organic matter, overriding the mental blocks installed in her brain by the government.

Days later, Conquest fully healed from his injuries and easily escaped into space. He then smiled and headed to a Viltrumite Warship. He reported to the Viltrumite Grand Regent, Thragg. He bowed to him at the request of Kregg. He reported his failure to the Viltrumite Grand Regent. Thragg compared him to an animal and cited his failure for reasons to not let him live.

Attributes

Powers

Conquest has shown to be a very strong Viltrumite, despite his old age. If he had not prolonged his battle with Mark, he could have likely beaten him. Conquest was easily able to break out of a 400 ton prison and unaffected by the explosion triggered by it which in turn destroyed the entire facility he was kept in. He managed to survive after being headbutted to the point where his face and skull were extremely disfigured. Conquest has shown signs of advanced age, meaning that Conquest has likely lived longer than Nolan Grayson, who has lived for thousands of years, despite his old age.

• Viltrumite Physiology: While Viltrumites are biologically indistinguishable from Humans their bodies are made of "Smart Atoms", atoms with variable properties which can be arranged to produce several useful properties. Viltrumites can harness background energy to augment their natural abilities to an extreme degree.
  • Reactive Adaptation: A Viltrumite's powers will naturally grow stronger with age, but they can also be increased by repeatedly pushing them to their limits.
  • Superhuman Strength: Thanks to the chemical bonds involved in muscle contractions in their bodies being several thousand times stronger than in a human's a Viltrumite's strength is far greater than that of most humanoids. The upper limit may differ from individual to individual due to different factors like exercise and age but it is known that adult Viltrumites are able to lift in excess of 100 tons.
  • Superhuman Speed: Viltrumites are capable of mentally controlling their atoms to gain inertia in one direction, giving them the ability to move at incredible speed.
  • Superhuman Stamina: Thanks to their more efficient chemical processes Viltrumites generate less fatigue toxins than humans, allowing them to fight and move for extended periods of time without collapsing from exhaustion.
  • Superhuman Endurance: Viltrumites have endurance beyond human capabilities and have survived disembowelment, touching lava, and bomb blasts without permanent physical damage.
  • Flight: Due a complex combination between a balancing system located in their inner ears, their ability to generate inertia and their ability to manipulate gravitons Viltrumites have the ability to fly at incredible speed.
  • Interstellar Travel: Viltrumites can survive in outer space without aid as long as they can hold their breath. Viltrumites subconsciously create force fields to protect their bodies from the heat and friction of re-entry. Outside of a planetary atmosphere Viltrumites can push their inertial flight to its limits, causing small subspace jumps that multiply their speed well above the speed of light.
  • Enhanced Lung Capacity: Viltrumites can hold their breath for up to two weeks without breathing.
  • Invulnerability: Thanks to their stronger atomic bonds Viltrumites bodies are virtually invulnerable to all forms of conventional damage and extreme temperatues.
  • Enhanced Healing Factor: Viltrumites bodies possess extremely efficient chemical processes involved in growth and repair and can rapidly heal from injuries that would normally kill humans. Viltrumites cannot regenerate lost limbs and damage to their heart can limit the effectiveness of their healing factor.
  • Decelerated Aging: Viltrumites age at an extrmely slow pace and have the potential to live for thousands of years and still be in their physical prime. A Viltrumite's aging slows the older they get.
  • Dominant Genetics: As Viltrumite DNA aggressively reproduces itself a Viltrumite's offspring will share Viltrumites characteristics and, as their Viltrumite DNA replaces the hybrid DNA, will slowly turn them into pure Viltrumites with age.
  • Enhanced Senses: While not superhuman the senses of a Viltrumite are sharper than those of most other humanoids.
• Viltrumite Weaknesses
  • Vulnerable Ears: When a Viltrumite's equilibrium in their ears is disturbed, mainly by frequency, it can cause extreme pain and may even possibly kill them. Depending on how strong the frequency is determines that pain of attack.
  • Short-Tempered: All Viltrumites are quick to anger and easily react violently to stressful situations.

Abilities

• Hand-to-Hand Combat
