To all who make themselves enemies of the Viltrum Empire! Prepare for your deaths!
~ Thragg leading the Viltrumites against the Coalition of Planets.
I have toyed with you long enough. It was I who kept our civilization growing! I drove our people further than Argall did. Held us together after the Scourge Virus! I've earned my command! I deserve to lead! I'm 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!
~ Thragg's villainous breakdown as he attempts to kill Omni-Man to keep his rule over the Viltrumites.

Grand Regent Thragg is the main antagonist of the Image Comics series Invincible.

He is the most powerful Viltrumite and the leader of the Viltrum Empire, as well as the archenemy of Invincible and his father Omni-Man, as well as the most powerful villain the former has ever fought.

What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]

  • He conquered thousands of planets and killed the residents of the ones who resisted.
  • After the Scourge Virus was released, he went back on his word to find Emperor Argall's heir and just took control of Viltrum for himself.
  • When Conquest fails to kill Invincible, he threatens to kill him if he fails him again.
  • He sends Lucan, Conquest, and an unnamed Viltrumite to kill Invincible and destroy the Coalition of Planets.
  • Locates Thaedus, the Viltrumite who defected from the Empire and killed Argall, and sends his army to attack Talescria, causing an all out war on the planet, during the fight tons of buildings are destroyed and thousands are killed in the chaos.
  • Dismembered Oliver Grayson's arm, breaking his jaw, and nearly killing him. He even sarcastically remarks "he seemed like a nice boy".
  • After Viltrum's destruction, he goes into a rage and decapitates Thaedus and then crushes his head, stating that he will not be missed.
  • He declares that anyone who opposes the Viltrum Empire will die.
  • He beats up Invincible, Omni-Man, and Battle Beast within inches of their lives.
  • Thragg and the remaining Viltrumites immigrate to Earth so they can slowly regrow their army and take over. He then makes a deal with Mark and Nolan by stating that the Viltrumites will not interfere with the events on Earth and that they will focus on rebuilding their race in order to not attract the attention of the Coalition of Planets, which they reluctantly accept under the threat of the destruction of Earth at the hands of the Viltrumites if they refuse.
  • While he helps Mark with stopping Allen and Oliver from releasing the Scourge Virus on Earth and gives Mark medical care after he was accidently poisoned by Oliver, this was only out of pragmatism.
  • When a scientist discovered that Mark’s DNA is a match for Argall, Thragg kills the scientist by crushing his skull. Afterwards he decides to kill Mark until Dinosaurus comes in to stop him. Thragg heavily bruises him but the latter manages to escape with Mark in a ship. He later tells Eve that it was Dinosaurus who attacked Mark.
  • When Earth was being attacked with potentially millions of deaths, he tells his soldiers to not interfere.
  • He yells at his subordinates for not procreating with more humans, each of them give their reasonings for either interfering with the disasters on Earth or not procreating, one of their reasonings being that the human they’ve mated with had her heart broken by someone who cheated on her, when Thragg hears of this, he refers to humans as lesser beings that shouldn’t receive any affection.
  • After finding Nolan and Debbie on the Moon, he makes an attempt to kill Omni-Man and keep him from becoming the rightful ruler of the Viltrumites, breaking his own deal and nearly killing Debbie.
  • After being sent into exile, he takes over the planet Thraxa and rules it with an iron fist, instead of Nolan who was a peaceful ruler.
  • Rebuilds his army by raping female Thraxans and forcing them to have his children.
  • Kills Battle Beast by ripping out his heart and crushing it during their battle.
  • After killing Battle Beast, he proceeds to turn his body into a cape as a trophy. To make things even worse, he even wears the corpse of Battle Beast on his home world.
  • With his new army, he has them conquer planet after planet, killing millions if not billions of people in his plans for takeover.
  • He makes a personal visit to Mark’s home where he attempts to kill him and his family, so he grabs his daughter Terra with intent of killing her.
  • Kills Oliver Grayson by punching a hole in his chest when he tries to defend Terra.
  • Grabs Invincible and tears him in half, but he was later healed by Atom Eve.
  • Fakes any sympathy for his children, only offering revenge as a way to continue his bloodshed.
  • When his daughter, Ursaal, confronts him over the deaths of her siblings, he grabs her by the throat telling her that no sacrifice is too great for their mission claiming that said fallen soldiers were weak and deserved to die. He even threatens to kill Ursaal if she feels any pity for the fallen soldiers.
  • During the final battle, Nolan and Thragg brutally face off exchanging blow after blow, during the fight, Omni-Man tries to fight off Thragg the best he can, but Thragg is shown to be too strong for him as he breaks Nolan’s hand by head butting it and then immediately swipes through Omni-Man’s body, tearing his heart out and killing him.
  • During his fight with Invincible, Thragg calls his children for assistance and he starts using them as projectiles by throwing them at Mark but this causes them to splatter on him since he is too strong for them, which disgusts Mark and leads to him pushing himself and Thragg towards the sun. This is enough for Ursaal to realize that he never cared about her or any of her siblings, just himself, which leads to her and her remaining siblings surrendering.
  • He and Invincible have an intense fight in the sun with both of their skin burning off and with Thragg taunting Invincible and breaking both of his arms, with the battle only ending once Thragg had been vaporized by the Sun after having his throat torn out.
  • Invincible describes in perfect detail how much Thragg sucks as both a leader and a Viltrumite for clinging to the old practices that brought their race to the brink of extinction, fighting for selfish and empty causes, and holding their species back from achieving their true potential.
  • There is no indication that he ever truly cared about Argall or his mission to avenge him, as while the other Viltrumites followed him for his wisdom, Thragg followed him for his strength only, meaning that he only worshipped Argall rather than care for him.
  • Initially, he seemed to love Viltrum and his people (he was genuinely heartbroken and enraged after the destruction of Viltrum to the point of shedding tears) and believed the only way for them to survive was under his rule, up until he was rejected by Viltrumites, who decided to follow in Nolan's footsteps and live in peaceful coexistence with humans; at this point, he no longer cares for Viltrum and its people and doesn't care about anything other than revenge, even if it means killing off the remainder of the pure-blooded Viltrumite populace because of his bruised ego.

Trivia[]

  • Assuming he is introduced in the TV series, it is unknown if that version will be Pure Evil as well.
