![]() The warlord decides that Earthlings are too dangerous to live and orders a full-scale invasion. The battle never happens all seven are defeated by local superheroes within minutes of their arrival. In JLA (1997): Year One the ruler of a planet of elemental giants sends seven of his greatest warriors to a certain backwater planet for a grand battle to decide the new leader.When their plans are exposed, Earth's governments (DC Earth being no stranger to alien invasions) immediately demand the Reach's surrender. so they come on like friendlies and engage some very long-term planning that will give them the planet in a couple of hundred years. Toyed with in Blue Beetle, with the Reach, a race of invaders who know they're easily thwarted in a stand up fight (at least when Green Lanterns and Kryptonians are involved).How are they thwarted? By serving them with a Congressional subpoena. One old Bloom County arc features an invasion by creatures called Zygorthians, who blast cities with death rays, enslave women, serve the entire Mormon Tabernacle Choir as hors d'oeuvres, and lock Pat Robertson in a room full of AIDS activists.Inverted, since the majority of the invaders were also human, albeit not from Earth. Their main weapons consist of swords and bows and arrows, which are not a match for the modern weapons of the Japanese military. In Gate, men with medieval armor, accompanied by a variety of monsters, all serving an empire from another world, invade Tokyo and try to claim the area as their own. ![]() However, a city does get completely levelled in fighting off the invasion, which one of heroes (who's a Slave to PR, and wasn't even there to help because he was busy doing a promotional interview for his upcoming film) chews all the others out on. ![]() The other top heroes manage to take out one of the alien generals as well. He finds that in Saitama, who in the midst of their fight destroys the spaceship they and the alien invaders were in. The alien invaders are said to be among the strongest in the galaxy, led by Galactic Conqueror Lord Boros because of The Prophecy stating that he'll find an opponent strong enough to satiate his boredom. The invasion is still easily handle with only a few of the Earth's strongest fighters, and Goku and Vegeta were more than enough to take care of Frieza even with his power-up. When Frieza returns in Resurrection 'F' he fares a little better, managing to destroy a city and in Dragon Ball Super he kills Piccolo.When Freeza and his father stop by with a ship filled with soldiers, they are killed quickly by Trunks with no casualties.Also subverted near the end of the series, where they're not just back, but even stronger. The Skrugg are only around for about a whole of 8 or so episodes, and while they totally destroy the US Government, Joey and Heroman still manage to kick their butts to hell and back in a timespan of two or so days. and his brainwashing technique involved pressing his lips against his victim's. unfortunately he disguised himself as Ataru. Also there was the time a shapechanging alien came to Earth and tried brainwashing the locals. Other invaders include a bunch in a spaceship that got mistaken for a rugby ball (the battering it took, plus the way Ataru chased the princess in charge after being miniaturised into it scared them off). Naturally, Ataru manages to win (even if he does end up unintentionally proposing to their princess in the process). The series started with the Oni deciding to invade Earth, but then deciding to call it off if a randomly chosen earthling could beat Princess Lum in a game of Tag. One season finale involved a massive, monolithic alien the size of a city that was defeated when it slipped on a banana peel, which sent it hurtling into the sun. ![]() While mostly the characters are too lazy to pull off an invasion attempt, when they do you can bet it'll fall apart pretty easily.Subverted in Super Dimension Fortress Macross, when just as the main cast finally deduce the aliens' weakness, the Zentradi wipe out Earth anyway.
