* Just how outclassed Mark is by them (at least initially) his fight with Lucien could barely be called that as the Viltrumite easily pushes Mark through the floor with only his ''finger''. Making it worse is how Mark is ''very'' aware that he doesn't stand that much of a chance against them. When face to face with Thula, Mark practically tries to beg his way out of fighting her and unfortunately for him the only mercy she seems willing to give him is a quick death.

* The episode ends with Mark coming face to face with General Kregg, who out of a twisted Darwinistic respect for Mark surviving his first fight with a Viltumite, decides to have him finish Nolan's mission and prepare the Earth for the Viltrumites' rule, ending with a very explicit threat as to the consequences of defiance:
-->'''Kregg:''' You can kill a few humans to convince them to capitulate, or we will kill ''millions'' if we arrive to find you and your planet still defiant against us. And unlike your father, we do ''not'' change our minds.

* Again we are shown just how ''ruthless'' the Viltrumites are. We see about only four of them make landfall on the Thraxans planet and from what we see in a short amount of time they managed to kill most if not all of the populace. With Andressa and her son being the only known survivors thanks to Mark and Nolans efforts.

* Just their passive dismissiveness of those they deem weaker, even those amongst their ranks are safe as after seeing that Nolan (seemingly) killed Lucan, Vidor can only say that he deserved to die then

** Similar to Nolan's murder of the Guardians, what makes it especially disturbing is how the Viltrumites ''aren't angry'', or outright sadistic. They are just ''brutal''. They barely show a flicker of emotion while they methodically maim Allen. They're like robots programmed to commit horrific acts of violence. It goes to show just how sociopathic Viltrumites are, and the kind of culture he came from.

** The alternate reality we see at the start makes it abundantly clear that despite Omni-Man's attempts to placate Mark, the process of "preparing" the Earth for the Viltrum Empire was ''not'' going to be a pleasant process. Mass death and the destruction of mankind's cities appears to have been the absolute minimum of what was going to happen once people tried to fight back.

** The aforementioned neck-breaking opens up all kinds of FridgeHorror, especially when you ''hear her whimper and see tears pour down her cheeks''. Imagine being utterly helpless, unable to move or speak or use your powers, kept alive for ''decades'', visited by the monstrous sociopath who did this to you. Oh, and you also have to bear witness to the world being ground to dust under his heel... which you got a taste of when you heard (if not saw) him murder all those people in the shelter, [[ForcedToWatch completely unable to help.]] Just... wow...

* The end result of Angstrom disrupting the upload process in an effort to prevent the Maulers from killing Invincible- the surviving Mauler Twin has half of his body carbonized while Angstrom is left a blood-soaked mess with brains bulging out of his head, shoulders, and half of his back. This combined with the overflow of information from the other (now dead) Angstroms causes him to [[SanitySlippage quickly go mad]] and swear vengeance against Invincible, so fast that even the Mauler is shocked by the turn.
