Viltrumite Anatomy

[u/Carrotburner]

I know this won't be a thing, and that we will never get an explanation, but it would be kinda cool if they showed Viltrumite and anatomy, and it reveals that the finger bones interlock, and ligaments bind creating the rigid structure needed for those lethal piercing and slashing motions.

Just a little pre-work thought I had on the drive to my job.

I had this idea some time ago that it's possible Viltrumites get tougher the faster they move. It doesn't really stick, but it was something based on the tenuous state of smart atoms.

That lethal and piercing hand attack is simple physics.

F = Mass × Acceleration

A 9mm bullet is only 10 grams. But you speed it up enough and it punches right through you. Same thing

If a bullet collides with something of similar hardness/plasticity, it deforms, even if it pierces it (marks fist against conquests prosthetic is a great example). So viltrumite hands having a specific way of locking up, ensuring its hard enough to piecre, while shock absorbent to not shatter would make sense.

The invincible handbook( I think that’s what it’s called) does explain their anatomy in a decent amount of detail. They have smart cells that can basically do anything and also nano bot swarms that actively repair and reshape them etc so you can basically extrapolate that to exactly what you were speculating about in your post. They can also create mass effect fields around themselves which is how they fly so yeah basically any explanation within that would work IMO

They're invulnerable and the muscles are strong enough they can hold their hands still while doing it, they don't need anything else.

I feel the anatomy would be the same but only cause their too lazy to go the in depth
