OmniMans

Omni-Man is a fictional character and a prominent antagonist in the Image Comics series Invincible, created by Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker. He is also known by his Viltrumite name, Nolan Grayson. Omni-Man is depicted as an alien from the planet Viltrum, a warrior race with superhuman abilities including immense strength, speed, flight, and durability. He is sent to Earth as a scout and conqueror, tasked with preparing the planet for eventual assimilation into the Viltrumite empire.

Initially presented as a benevolent superhero and the father of the series' protagonist, Mark Grayson (Invincible), Omni-Man's true nature is revealed to be far more sinister. He systematically eliminates Earth's defenders and reveals his allegiance to the Viltrumites, whose goal is galactic domination. This betrayal forms a central conflict of the series, forcing his son to confront him.

Omni-Man's character is complex, exploring themes of duty, heritage, and morality. Despite his brutal actions, he often grapples with his identity and his feelings for his human family. His history and motivations are deeply tied to the brutal traditions and survival instincts of the Viltrumite race. The character has been a significant figure in popular culture, known for his shocking twist and his role in shaping the narrative of Invincible. He has also been adapted into the animated television series of the same name, where his character arc and impact remain central.
