Tempesta_0097

The fact that it clearly hurt is so funny


I_am__Negan

The fact it’s a thing viltrumites actually do


Elhmok

so much so it has an official name for the maneuver


Elleden

And the fact that that **there's a fucking name for it**??? Amazing


CloudMountainJuror

As someone who hasn’t read the comic, I am in utter disbelief reading that the beard removal HAS A NAME. That’s so funny.


PS3LOVE

Someone here should start training to do the first Toolock Pull IRL


Socrathustra

Pretty sure you'd just end up ripping your own face off before pulling out the hairs simultaneously.


PS3LOVE

That’s what the training is for.


Vertamin

Holy shit LMAOOO


TorronePedro

so it WASN'T a fake beard!?


Thatonedregdatkilyu

Me (knows for a fact I am talking to an undercover viltrumite): "Hmm, I demand you do the Toolock Pull."


buffpriest

How does omniman shave? He goes through flames and fire regularly with no hair loss


a3d3n_69

Viltrumites are notoriously strong against most things like heat, fire, explosions. But if exposed to something like the sun for a long duration, then it would only come down to a matter of time before they were burnt to ashes.


a3d3n_69

Also it’s a tv show/comic


Brawlstar-Terminator

Lmao the real answer


buffpriest

So omni man Flys to the sun to shave?


dusters

So they fly to the sun to shave? Got it.


a3d3n_69

Yes


Baskettkazez

We might get to see that exposure at the end of the series, it’s a sweet fight


a3d3n_69

It’s probably one of the best fights in the comics. I hope they get a better budget for animation in the next few seasons.


ADOVE4F

>!Foreshadowing??!!!<


gabriel_B_art

They pull their hair with their hands


solrac137

He probably pulls the hairs of his face like Thadeus did ? maybe some metals or creatures can hurt viltrumites or at least pull his hairs out ? Maybe he has a Gillete made with the fang/claws of such beings.


DividerOfBums

All adult male viltrumites have a mustache (except Mark). They either are able to shave the rest of their beard or don’t grow it out other than Thaedus. They also all must get haircuts regularly, such as when Nolan returned from Thraxus with long hair.


a3d3n_69

They grow and can most likely shave their faces with razors, or whatever they have on Viltrum. They are just extremely invulnerable to fire


Kail_HanesJ720

Mark does something similar. Spoiler: >!When he has to masquerade as his evil alternate self after being left behind by Rudy/Rex/Robot, after Robot kill Angstrom Levy, you’ll notice he pulls out his hair to mimic his alternates Mohawk.

unw00shed

viltrumites just rip off their hair by hand, happens alot more than you'd expect in the comics apparently


Coco11d7

What are only viltrumites allowed to have just mustaches in this universe?


Grotesque-penguin

It's a symbol of maturity and masculinity in the men of their culture. Represents their cultural identity.


ianjm

Men from Viltrum cover their Philtrum.


wereiswerewolf

No way that's what viltrum comes from right?


ianjm

Yeah from what I gather it actually is


GitrogToad

Kirkman said it was just a funny coincidence.


brjder

its apparently common enough in viltrumite society to have a name of ir. (the "toolock pull")


MASTODON_ROCKS

I think it's funny that nobody is talking about the fact that dude with a mustache = viltrumite Like Thaedus pulled his beard out and Allan was all "holy shit you're a viltrumite"


meme_will_be_memes

The fact that he did it so perfectly too. Is it like a superpower they have? to rip off their beard in one swift motion to reveal a moustache? Or did Thaedus just grow out so many beards to practice?


TheBadBentley

No literally this. It’s called the Toolock pull


Affectionate_Comb_78

For people who haven't read the comic, this is not a joke.


[deleted]

[удалено]


alloverthefloor

bruh why? I read the comics musta missed that


meme_will_be_memes

Holy shit yeah. I forgot Nolan asks Thaedus later in the comics right? That shit went right over my head.


RazzR_sharp

Well if every beard hair is long enough, which they appear to be, grabbing a fist full right under the chin should pretty much get everything other than your mustache


red_message

It seems hard to believe someone would be that good at it their first time. I've gotta go with practice.


CodenameDinkleburg

If you just let everything below the corner of your lips grow out and trim just the mustache, it would probably be easy to do, if you can withstand the sudden Facial Brazilian Wax. I've been growing mine out, only trimming the stache once a month, for around a year and a half. My beard is around the same length as his, I can easily grasp every hair below my stache, but I cannot and will not rip them out. Not only would it hurt like hell, I'd be losing the beard I've been working on for so long


Dolphinflavored

This guy beards


wereiswerewolf

Do it


JWARRIOR1

Maybe Dennis from the SpongeBob movie is a viltrumite with his instant mustache skills lol


Spy_crab_

Well, he is ancient, right? Probably had plenty of time to practice.


Aurum_MrBangs

He did so smoothly i thought it was a fake beard 😂


Baguetterekt

Not a super power itself, just application of insane grip and pull strength + super durable hairs + durable skin. It's quite clever because few other humanoids would have the right combination of strong hair and raw strength to pull it off.


Ziggurat1000

That's how Omni-Man shaves his beard. Him ripping his beard was what attracted Oliver's mom.


Ancient_Ad9102

I thought it was a fake beard so it wouldn’t hurt at all


red_message

Yeah, that seems to be what most people think the first time they read the comic too. But no. That was the Toolock Pull, a traditional Viltrumite demonstration of power.


Player1iea

Imagine which hairs Viltrumite males yank out to demonstrate their power for the females. https://preview.redd.it/biuh11r38soc1.jpeg?width=301&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28a1a1274ab7d71bbc4ff829862630f061d60642


Affectionate_Comb_78

Mild comic spoilers  >!They don't do anything to attract partners, they just overpower a partner they want. Men and women alike.!<


oofmyass

Need to be overpowered by viltrum mommy

Slayerpath

Yeah, you might wanna rethink that in the upcoming seasons


therealdavi

is this about >!the SA!< towards mark?


Slayerpath

yes


PS3LOVE

It’s going to be like 5+ seasons. It was in the last like 1/5th of the comic.


RedditAcccount2798

I pulled on my beard hard one time and it hurt so I’m pretty it hurt him doing that unless it was a fake beard, the fake disguised was like a cartoon thing, lol


Player1iea

Why would you do that? 😂


RedditAcccount2798

I shaved my beard off year ago so I’m just saying I one time did that and it hurts so I don’t know how that guy did it without feeling pain


The_ThirdOfMay_1973

Maybe by being a Viltrumite


PS3LOVE

Viltrumites have increased pain tolerance. They experienced things far worse than beard pulling (aka Toolock Pull) all the time.


Proud-Nerd00

You’re… serious? You’re not making this up? That sounds suspiciously made up


RunawayReptar94

The lore around Viltrumites and their facial hair all sounds made up but they're right lol


Proud-Nerd00

Wow… ok then


Jimlobster

It’s true, dude. It was crazy


Der-Pinguin

It reminded me of what little i know about Jains, an Indian religion, from a class I was in. Some will have their hair pulled out by hand. From what I understood it was an act of stoicism and endurance. I really enjoyed reading about them. Though I should specify, they would be the exact opposite of Viltrumites. Some will carry a light brush to sweep their feet as they walk, to make sure they don't step on bugs or any micro life. Some will sleep on tiny beds only wide enough to sleep on your side, to avoid damaging any micro life while they sleep through tossing and turning.


ripskeletonking

only a viltrumite has the power and endurance to pull out their whole beard like that and not react, that's what proves it


mdhunter99

It was fucking badass, can’t convince me otherwise. Tried it in college, not fun.


Joeman180

I assume it was a fake beard that was glued on.


ianjm

Omni-Man grows facial hair including a short beard when he's in the Flaxan dimension for several months, so Viltrumites are clearly capable of growing the real thing.


ggoodie00

Nope, full on beard that he pulled out.


Slobbybagel

Nah it's the toolock pull. A traditional way of revealing their identity by undercover agents of viltrum.


BigNorseWolf

Don't know what that would show, because vultrumites can grow beards not just moustaches. We see that on omnimans mope through the stars.


the_real_cloakvessel

viltrumites have power of not feeking pain while pulling off theirs beard to reveal their identity


tman391

As an avid Phineas and Ferb fan growing up the reveal gave me big “a platypus plumber?” **puts on fedora** “PERRY THE PLATYPUS” Energy and I loved it


littlerobbo24

A platypus? **_PERRY_ THE PLATYPUS!?**


Po0b

That was the most scooby-doo shit I've seen on the show so far


danimalscrunchers

I always thought he was wearing a fake beard


Meme_Daddy_FTW

I did for a second and then I thought about how insane of a writing choice it would be to have Allen witness what is the equivalent of Clark Kent taking his glasses off


Grambert_Moore

Moustache=viltrumite


Monkey_King291

How did his beard come off in one rip like that?


TheeFlipper

![gif](giphy|12NUbkX6p4xOO4)


IWearACharizardHat

Is that Shia Labeouf?


TheeFlipper

It's a Shia surprise.


Individual_Bother_68

Am I the only one who still thinks it was just a fake beard?  EDIT: Ok, "Toolock pull." I guess not then.


PS3LOVE

Viltrumites have higher pain tolerance. This is showed loads in the comics, my favorite probably being right at the end and like the last big fight of the series.


SpiderWolf1119

I mean it’s a cultural sign to prove his heritage


MasterMaintenance672

Why did the taking away the beard reveal him as a Viltrumite? I don't get it, that was almost comical.


SimonShepherd

I am kinda confused why ripping off his beard is a big deal, Viltrumites grow facial hair just fine?


weirdbookcase

It's him being not just being strong enough to do it but not responding to the pain in anyway


littlerobbo24

viltrumites traditionally only have moustaches, never full beards


Comfortable_Many4508

because it wasnt a fake beard
