No; portuguese man o'war, or bluebottle jellyfish in not a jellyfish but a colony of many polyps.
Each polyp is a single animal in the polypoid stadium (not medusoid), specialized in particular functions, and all together are joint to make a unique "body": the colony. The floating part is a polyp full of gas, called siphonophore; the "eating" part are polyps called gastrozoids; the stingy tentacles are the dactylozoids; while the reproductive sistem is provided by gonozoids.

∙ 12y agoNo. But two or three box jellyfish might be able to.
Actually, the box jellyfish's toxic is not strong enough to kill a beluga whale or any whale. The toxic would not even damage the beluga whale a bit. There would be about about 20 to 50 box jellyfish to kill any type of whale.

∙ 12y agoPossibly, but the jellyfish might severely injure the whale, depending on the species of the whale. One man of war jellyfish could not kill a large whale like a grey whale, killer whale, or a blue whale since the whale is too large and the jellyfish's poison might not damage the whale. However, 4 or more large man of war jellyfish with deadly poison could kill a single whale.

∙ 12y agoNo, but it can injure the killer whale.
Actually the portuguese man of war is not a jellyfish and its sting is quite powerful and highly painful to humans. But it cannot kill it unless if the human got stung too much times. So, it would not kill a killer whale. It's poison would not even damage the whale. On the other hand, the box jellyfish can give a powerful sting that could kill a human. But its poison is not too powerful to kill a whale since the whale is too big. So, a portuguese man of war or a box jellyfish would not kill the killer whale.

Most likely, yes.
