Weaknesses
- Excessively High Frequency: High-frequency noise can have harmful effects on the ears of Viltrumites. It disturbs their balance, restricts their flying capability, induces severe pain, and could potentially lead to their death. The frequency's intensity dictates the degree of pain felt.
- Extreme Force: Even though Viltrumites rank among the universe's mightiest, they are not entirely invincible. Viltrumites are vulnerable to entities with comparable or superior strength.
- Scourge Virus: Developed from Viltrumite DNA, the virus targets Viltrumites by compromising their immune systems, deactivating their strength and invulnerability. The sole method of survival is by having a uniquely strong immune system and patiently waiting for the virus to run its course.

Trivia
- Thula is based off of Ursa from the DC Comics and Medusa from the Marvel Comics.
- Her depiction in the cartoon somewhat contradicts her comic depiction. In it, although still quite old, she displays no wrinkles, her hair still has full coloring, and is lean yet well-muscled.
- Thula's signature weapon is her braided hair, like the scene in episode 8, and episode 4 of season 2, it acts more like a lasso, spear and sword.
- A character in the DC Animated Universe had a similar attack style to Thula, where she'd use her hair as weapon, but more like a whip.
- Since she was active during the time of the Great Purge, Thula is older than Nolan, as the latter was born after the purge was complete and her recent appearances in season 2, showed that Thula looks older.
- As she retains approximately the same appearance during the Great Purge as she does in the present, she is likely around the same age as Conquest, making her one of the oldest Viltrumites alive.
