HistoryEdit

Origin

Thragg was born on Viltrum as the son of one of the closest advisors of Emperor Argall. He was trained in all manners of combat and bred to be the strongest Viltrumite.[1] After Argall was killed by Thaedus, Thragg fought in the Viltrumite civil war to restore order to the Empire, meaning Thragg is thousands of years old. After the battle, the Viltrumites would emerge an unbeatable race led by him. Thragg would be granted the title of Grand Regent, tasked with finding the heir of Argall. He would keep Argall's skull as a reminder of what would happen were the Empire to fall into disarray. The Scourge Virus would be created and planet's population severely depleted and would make him believe that the heir had died. Afterwards, he would cease all attempts to find the heir, feeling that he had earned his place among them [2]

Time Skip

He leaves Terra to die.

The End of All Things

Ursaal is shown crying over what happened to Ornaan with Thragg, he tells her that both her and Ornaan were very special to him as he reluctantly tries to comfort her, telling her that they will avenge her brother.

He continues his conquest with his army, taking over more planets and causing more deaths, as he prepares an all out attack on the resistance he sends his children to fight Mark, when they try to fight him they end up getting splattered as he is too strong for them, he begs them to stop as they are killing themselves, Ursaal confronts him over this but 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.

During the final battle, Nolan and Thragg face off exchanging blow after blow, during the fight Nolan tries to fight off Thragg the best he can, but Thragg is shown to be too much for him as he breaks Nolan’s hand by head butting it, Mark tries to step in and stop Thragg from hurting Nolan further but Thragg responds by grabbing him and throwing him away saying he’ll save him for after he killed Nolan, When he returns Nolan headbutts him in defiance but to no effect, Thragg reads his killing move but Nolan makes a quick move to keep Thragg hand from hitting his heart, Thragg immediately swipes through Nolan’s body tearing his heart out and leaving him for dead.

Mark, furious with what he just witnessed charges at Thragg, Thragg throws him away while calling in his children for assistance, 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. Mark disgusted by this grabs him and pulls them both into the sun initiating the final fight between them. As they fight with the sun burning their bodies, Invincible questions Thragg on his motivation. Thragg says it is all about revenge for what Invincible’s bloodline did to stop him from claiming the empire he deserved to rule.

When Thragg tries to make an escape Mark pulls them both into the core of the sun burning all of their flesh off. After that, Mark, despite knowing that he can't hear his thoughts anymore, starts to 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. 

Mark then gains the upper hand when one of Robot's armors arrives and attaches itself to him mid-speech, granting him a few extra moments of protection from the searing heat whilst Thragg continues to burn. With their fight getting more intense with more and more explosions from the sun the lava ends up melting the Robot armor Invincible is wearing.

They end up fighting inches away from the sun as their bodies become even more unrecognizable.

In the final moments of the fight, Thragg, having sustained far more damage than his opponent, breaks both of Mark's arms in a fit of rage and desperation. But Mark thinks quickly and then finally kills Thragg by ripping his throat out with his teeth. After that, Mark is fully prepared to die as well, only for Allen to show up and carry him to safety, leaving Thragg's corpse behind to be consumed by the sun.

With Thragg now dead, the Viltrumites can finally move forward as a people and become a force for good in the universe under the leadership of Mark's family.
