In keeping with the show’s satirical humor, Conquest hardly supports the Viltrumite philosophy of becoming the dominant race. Instead,Conquest has an insatiable bloodlust and a penchant for relentless combat. An unhinged maniac, thederanged sadomasochistic supervillainprefers fighting impossibly formidable foes that he knows will deliver massive damage to his body. As such, Conquest sports a large scar across his face, and his hand was severed during combat. In its place, Conquest uses a cybernetic arm as his main weapon.
While a master melee fighter,Conquest also possesses the Viltrumite’s trademark superpowers. They include superhuman speed, strength, stamina, durability, flight, rapid healing and regeneration, reverse aging, and near-invincibility. However, like all Viltrumites, Conquest is vulnerable to high-frequency noises that disrupt their equilibrium and disorient them.
