History of Thragg | Invincible’s Most Powerful Enemy

[Music] what's up my comic comrades today we return to the Invincible Universe to look at Invincible biggest bad thragg thrag is the ruler of the V tramites and the most powerful of them all he is the big boss of the comic series and it's only a matter of time before he shows up in the Invincible Animated Series on Amazon and when he does the crap is going to hit the fan so with his appearance on the horizon let's get you up to speed with the character with his role in the Invincible comic series which will give you a good idea of what the show might do with him as they've been sticking pretty close to the comics thus far I will say this history of episode will be different than our normal history of episodes as thrag is solely from the Invincible series and doesn't have any other titles and appearances for us to talk about outside of invincible so we will just be sticking to his origin character Arc and power set okay thrag first appeared Invincible returns issue one in 2003 he was created by Robert Kirkman and Ryan Atley and I will say if you've watched our history of omn man episode Dag's origin will sound a bit familiar as they're both from VTR however his story adds quite a bit to the viltrumite mythology because thrag later expands on it while talking to omn man in Invincible Issue 102 okay so in Invincible Issue 11 we learned that vrum is a planet with a race of people who live strictly by the Creed Only the strongest survive in short their leaders decided in order for vilum to obtain Intergalactic dominance they had to eliminate the weak from their Planet when the dust settled their population had been cut nearly in half but what emerged From the Ashes was a fierce unbeatable Warrior Race once their battlecard Planet had been repaired they set their sights outward it was proposed that vites bring their new world order to other worlds the goal was to establish and expand a planetary Empire it was agreed upon unanimously an Empire that thrag established after the High Council had approved the idea the world conquering committee was formed the first part of the initiative was to locate other planets that were in a crucial stage of development planets that were far enough along that adding them to the Empire would be a worthwhile Endeavor but not so far along that vites would be unable to overcome their defenses the Second Step was to install a global Watchtower where they could keep supplies for long-term occupation and monitor the entire planet from the final step was to send a team of Representatives down to the surface to announce their takeover this team would stay behind on the planet monitoring its activities races who cooperated were given access to vilum Technologies which could be used to improve their quality of life under their rule but races who resisted were killed violently we go on to learn with their expansion the Vite Empire was a success so they doubled their efforts but eventually as the Vite empire grew their forces became stretched too thin trying to maintain it and their expansion screeched to an abrupt halt forcing them to think of a more efficient method of world conquering so rather than coming in large numbers and Conquer a planet by force the highest ranked and most trusted officers would be given planets to survey and weaken over time and this is where Invincible story would start as Nolan AKA omn man being one of their highest ranking officials was sent to Earth at which point he would meet Mark's mother marrying her to pass the time while he ultimately plotted to conquer Earth the two would eventually have Mark AKA invincible and the rest was history but that's how the vites came to be and what they're all about as for vtr's leader thrag he gives us his side of things now in the issue thrag is about to kill omn man as omn man is considered a traitor to his people as he did not conquer earth like he was supposed to do but instead fled and took refuge on a planet of alien mantis humanoids becoming their leader and marrying one of them and even having a son with her point is he gets caught by the vtrs and eventually makes a truce but thrag ends up attacking him anyway in issue 111 Nolan is like thrag why have you done this I thought we had a truce why attack me at all there was an agreement I pose no threat drag replies no threat really you have no idea do you before you die you might as well know the truth let me tell you where you really came from and this is where we learn how thrag became leader of VTR and what his mission was our home World VTR was a relative Paradise for many Millennia all that came to an abrupt end when Lord argal was slain by the betrayer Thaddius Lord argal had many hirs but they were all hidden and Anonymous the Empire had far too many enemies for the whereabouts to be known in the chaos following argo's death The Heirs were lost efforts were made to locate them but the population had decided to call the weak in an effort to find a new ruler violence erupted across the planet hundreds of years past it was a dark period of unrest our home world vilum was a relative Paradise for many Millennia all this came to an abrupt end when Lord argal was slain by the betrayer thadius we emerged from that period an unbeatable Warrior Race led by me I was made grand Regent task to find the heir of argal who could assume the rightful title and station I spent many years trying to locate you then the scorge virus hit I assumed the air had been lost to the virus I led my people through these dark times I held us together I've made it possible for our people to survive I was a better ruler than even argle himself still throughout it all I've kept argo's skull by my side a reminder of how easily I could lose my command I ceased all attempts to find the heir I felt I'd earned my place as ruler even if you somehow survived can you imagine how disgusted I was to learn that you who sided with the betrayer thus who murdered your father was the rightful ruler of the vilam Empire you who destroyed our home planet I learned of this when your son became infected with the scourge virus tests were being run and his DNA was examined I had to kill the scientists who discovered the truth that your blood line was that of Lord argol I could never allow you to take my Throne so in short we learned that after vtr's ruler argol was killed vilum was not able to locate his air which threw the vites into chaos killing off the weak in an effort to find a new ruler after hundreds of years the vites emerged from that period as an unbeatable race with thrag the most powerful among the race named Grand Regent but before we take a look at some of thr's major story beats we want to thank today's affiliate Partners Bass Pro and Cabellas one of the things high on my priority list has been to spend more times outdoors with my kids is doing things like hiking and fishing which is perfect because right now Bass Pro and Cabellas are running their annual spring fishing classic sale with crazy deals Fast Pro stores are basically Disney World for people who love the outdoors in general but fishing is just one of those super chill things you could do to unwind and or bond with your family and friends with that in mind our friends at Bass Pro and Cabella seriously hooked us up with some fishing gear they sent their Bass Pro Johnny Moore Signature Series spinning combo which is professional class performance gear with a bunch of cool features that I don't fully understand but but what I do understand is that this bad boy looks dope so hopefully we compensate for a lack of fishing experience although I know enough to know that you need something to hook the fish with and that is where this eagleclaw bass rigging kit from Cabella's and their 70 piece lure kit come in these two kits have more than enough sharp objects and shiny things to catch a lot of fish and to keep it all organized we have their Plano Guide Series tackle box so if you're looking to take in some of the Great Outdoors and take on some fresh water Beast you got to swing by Bass Pro and Cabellas online during their epic spring fishing classic sale it's going on now and ends on March 27th so jump on it just use our Link in our description to reel in some great prices you see what I did there for real you get it that's my bad all right let's get into some thrag story beats so the first time we ever see thrag is an invincible returns issue one where we see the vilate conquest returning to Grand regen thrag saying sire if you'll just allow me a moment to explain as he's forced to his knees please forgive me sire I bring news of the status on Earth I have failed you leash th says Conquest you are an animal only content with blood on your teeth barely controllable an animal is only useful when it obeys its master I ordered you to bring down the son of Nolan and secure his planet for my arrival none of these tasks were accomplished and so I must ask of what further use could you be to me as we see thrag for the very first time Conquest says I underestimated the boy I toyed with him far too long I gave him time to gain an advantage I have served you well for many years please forgive my carelessness and spare me I beg you th says we have learned of a team sent to Earth to retrieve no son and bring him into direct conflict with us I doubt you have time to prevent this but go catch them on their return and ensure none of them are able to join the fight leave none alive do not fail me again so the first time we ever see thrag we learn he is a ruthless leader who even conquests one of the most deadly vilamit spars now as far as some context for Conquest in issue 61 of invincible which was the aftermath of the Invincible War Conquest was sent to Earth to give Invincible an ultimatum either Invincible would conquer earth like his father Nolan was supposed to do or Conquest would kill him and take over Earth himself obviously Invincible isn't down for this and the two fighted out over the next three issues literally issu 62 through 64 is just invincible and Conquest battling it out in the most bloody epic fashion you can think of it's ridiculous it's one of the most brutal fights I've ever seen in compx issue 63 even has us thinking that Conquest killed Adam Eve by punching a hole right through her chest in front of invincible as he catches her before she hits the ground in the very next issue a pissed off and enraged Invincible would punch Conquest so hard it shattered his robotic arm and of course Adam Eve did not die and she helped Invincible pull out the wind and in issue 64 fried the skin off of Conquest his body before he could kill Invincible point is Conquest failed his mission and once he healed up he escaped Cecil's prison and fled back to thrag begging for forgiveness which we just went over now after this during the Vite war in issue 75 we see thadius a Vite working towards defending other planets from the vit's tyrannical rule teaming up with Invincible omn man Allen the alien battle beast and more to defeat thrag and his army they then make their way way to vilam where they're greeted by thrag and his army with him saying to all who make themselves an enemy of the VTR Empire prepare for your deaths and so a battle ensues with thus invincible and omn man being able to break off flying in tandem straight through vilum and right out the other side destroying the planet home of the vites zus says Hear Me vites it's over your planet is gone you have nowhere else to run the universe is United against you there is nothing left but surrender thrag and tier says you brought this upon us all it is you who set this in motion carried it out Thaddius of VTR betrayer you have taken it all from us our heritage our home our history destroyed the vilam Empire will not stand for this at which point thrag in an uncontrollable rage blitzes thus ripping his head right off his body killing him saying at long last Lord argal you have been Avenged if I didn't mention it earlier thus is the one who killed Lord argal All Those Years Ago by stabbing him in the head then we have Invincible Issue 102 which I went over earlier where thrag reveals to us and omn Man how he came to power and that omn man is the son of Lord argle which is why he has to kill omn man because as long as omn man and Invincible live he is not the rightful ruler of the viltrumites and if this got out the viltrumites would no longer follow thrag so naturally thrag is there to kill omn man as thrag is beating omn man senseless he says it was I who kept our civilization growing I drove our people further than argle ever did I held us together after the scourge virus I earned my command I deserve to lead I am what our people need I don't care what is decreed what your bloodline earns you you have earned nothing all you deserve is death and as he's about to deliver the final blow a hand stops his fist as we see it's General Craig with three other vites and they heard everything thrag just said thrag tells them this man was trying to take my Throne this was an assassination attempt I am your Regent yet you dare assist him to stay my hand preserve his life you stand against me they ask you found the heir of argle th tells them and he is weak look at him before you he is not worthy they then attacked thrag saying it was never argo's strength we followed it was his wisdom that you don't understand that shows how foolish we were to ever follow you as they beat the crap out of thrag but omn man says Let Him Live the vites listen and bow before omim man their new ruler butr eventually kills omn man punching him right through the stomach but before he dies he names mark his successor and the new ruler of the viltrumites it all comes to a head in Invincible 140 where Invincible has his boss battle with thrag in a sun the two are fighting inside of the Sun as their Skins are slowly burning off but in the end mark is able to pull out the wind with Allen the alien assisting him pulling his body out of the sun before he completely burns up as we see thrag left there to disintegrate into nothing but just like that let's move on to powers and abilities thrag is a superman-like character and that he has all the characteristics someone like Superman would have he possesses superhuman strength allowing him to lift weight in excess of 1 million tons he has superhuman durability he can withstand insane amounts of damage he's invulnerable to bullets energy blasts and can even survive inside of the Sun for short periods of time he possesses super speed giving him insane reaction time and reflexes he could also fly at High velocity even being able to do so in space he has an accelerated healing Factor longevity and is an excellent fighter having centuries of combat experience he is definitely someone you would not want to piss off he's also a fantastic leader able to keep the Vite Empire in check for centuries but not only that he's LED them to Victory more times than anyone could count as he's an expert strategist in the end he is the most ruthless vure might to ever exist but everything must come to an end as he was eventually defeated by Invincible but that brings us to reading recommendations it's very simple as he's only ever appeared in one series the Invincible Series so read the entirety of that as well as its one-hot Invincible returns you should also be watching the Invincible animated series on Prime because it's only a matter of time before he makes his debut there anyway let us know what you think of thrag and who you would want to voice him in the Invincible TV series other than that we'll see you next time when we give you the history of Batman and [Music] movies the
