* StrongerWithAge: Downplayed. It's more accurate to say that Viltrumites get stronger with experience. A Viltrumite's powers take time to fully mature and master their powers. Additionally, they get exponentially stronger if they continue to push themselves physically. And considering they can remain in their prime for most of their lifespans and that their culture is based around constant combat and training, it's very rare for a young Viltrumite to be stronger than an older one. When Mark fights Nolan, Lucan, and Anissa he's completely outclassed and only defeats Thula by catching her off guard.

When Mark fights Nolan, Lucan, and Anissa he's completely outclassed and just barely survives his fight with Thula.

* StrongerWithAge: A Viltrumite's powers take time to fully mature. Additionally, they only get stronger if they continue to push themselves physically. And considering their incredibly long lifespans and that their culture is based around combat and training, it's very rare for a young Viltrumite to be stronger than an older one. When Mark fights Nolan, Lucan, and Anissa he's completely outclassed and just barely survives his fight with Thula.

An intergalactic Empire ruled by a tyrannical despot named Thragg, who seeks to conquer other planets. Their current strategy is to send [[WeComeInPeaceShootToKill one of their own to act as a protector while they weaken the planet's defenses for then invasion]].

* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: When [[spoiler:Allen the Alien's species]] revolted, the Viltrumites had to resort to blowing up the planet. Not because they're cruel -- well, not just because they're cruel -- but because according to [[spoiler:Allen]] the alternative was losing the planet. This is the first hint that Viltrumites individually and as a whole aren't as unbeatable as they seem. [[spoiler: After his recovery, Allen is also able to easily overpower Anissa, much to her shock.]]

* TrojanHorse: They send their agents to pose as protectors when they're actually sent to weaken defenses making it easier for an invasion to happen.

* LightningBruiser: She's far stronger and tougher than Mark, to the point of completely manhandling him with little effort and moving faster than he can react until it's too late. Cecil and Donald note her to be faster than even ''Nolan''; they can't even target her with orbital weapons because she'd easily evade any attempt.

* TheWorfEffect: Downplayed. Not long after her one-sided trashing of Mark, [[spoiler:she coincidentally runs into Allen. He proceeds to take a hit from her without trouble, and then hits ''her'' hard enough to injure her, something Mark pointedly failed to do. As Anissa is one of the strongest Viltrumites yet seen, this showcases strength Allen now possesses.]]

* DependingOnTheArtist: The show portrays Thula as more conventionally older, with aging lines under her eyes, to properly convey she is old even for Viltrumite standards; the comics had her drawn with softer features, as if she managed to retain much of her youth despite being one of the oldest Viltrumites seen on the series.

* AdaptationalSlimness: While she is just as muscular as she is in the comics, her breasts are much smaller here.

* StrongerWithAge: A Viltrumite's powers take time to fully mature. Additionally, they only get stronger if they continue to push themselves physically. Not to mention, their incredibly long lifespans allow for the benefit of experience without the worries of senescence; in Nolan's words, "the older we get, the slower we age." As such, it's very rare for a young Viltrumite to be stronger than an older one. When Mark fights Nolan, Lucan, and Anissa he's completely outclassed and just barely gets the upper hand against Thula.

* EarthShatteringKaboom: Any planet that resists their rule gets blown up.

* GreaterScopeVillain: For the first season, as they were the ones that sent Omni-Man to Earth to conquer it.

A Viltrumite warrior.

* AdaptationalJerkass: She's overall more brutal on her depiction in the series. First, she threatens to kill Amber, putting her hand around her neck, just to get Mark's attention. In the comicbook she only threatened to kill his mother with no implied action along, and she immediately apologized afterwards. Then she watches dozens of innocents die while Mark is fighting a kaiju, not taking action until long into the fight, whereas her comic counterpart immediately put down the kaiju and then helped Mark save civilians just to get in his good graces. Lastly, she beats down Mark to within an inch of his life, whereas in the comic she simply knocked him down.

* LightningBruiser: She's far stronger and tougher than Mark, to the point of completely manhandling him with little effort. She's further stated to be faster than even ''Nolan'', and Cecil and Donald note that they can't even target her with orbital weapons because she'd easily evade any attempt.
* NonchalantDodge: She's simply too fast for Mark to even touch her when they fight, she doesn't bother guarding herself, instead avoiding all of Mark's punches with bare minimum effort by tilting her head and shifting her body slightly. Mark hits her exactly once and only because ''she let him'', [[NoSell just to show that his blows would barely faze her even if they landed]].

* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: More than even Nolan used to believe, Anissa is a byproduct of thousands of years of totalitarian Viltrumite belief, wholeheartedly seeing their rule as completely beneficial to any planet graced by their assimilation, no matter how much blood is shed if needed. Anissa sees Earth as a mess of boiling conflicts and continuous attrition who will just wipe itself out given a few hundreds of years, it needs a central power like Viltrum to usher a new centralized system to unify all of humanity under a new era of prosperity.
* TheWorfEffect: Downplayed. Not long after her one-sided trashing of Mark, [[spoiler:she coincidentally runs into Allen. He proceeds to take a hit from her without trouble, and then hits ''her'' hard enough to injure her, something Mark pointedly failed to do. As Anissa is one of the strongest Viltrumites yet seen, this hints at the kind of strength Allen now possesses.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: Her description of Earth's leaders making destructive decisions out of short-sighted selfishness is one Mark admits is accurate while still refusing to conquer it.

* FlyingBrick: All Viltrumites have the classic powerset of {{Flight}}, SuperStrength, SuperSpeed and SuperToughness.

* {{Sadist}}: Downplayed. While Anissa says she doesn't kill for pleasure, she admits she ''does'' take pleasure in killing. It's just not her main priority.

* TheSociopath: This is a major component of being a Viltrumite, besides the Social Darwinism. They have all been conditioned to have zero empathy, remorse, or basic emotion whatsoever. Best shown where Nolan feels genuine sadness for the first time, and [[WhatIsThisFeeling reacts by angrily saying he]] ''[[WhatIsThisFeeling shouldn't]]'' [[WhatIsThisFeeling be feeling this way]].

* TheWorfEffect: Downplayed. Not long after her one-sided trashing of Mark, [[spoiler:she coincidentally runs into Allen. He proceeds to take a hit from her without harm, and then hits ''her'' hard enough to injure her, something Mark pointedly failed to do. As Anissa is one of the strongest Viltrumites yet seen, this hints at the kind of strength Allen now possesses.]]
