Viltrum

Viltrum is a fictional planet featured in the Image Comics series The Most Wanted, created by writer Brian Wood and artist Becky Cloonan. However, it gained more popularity as the central galaxy in the popular DC Comics series The Razer, also by Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan. Later, it became a major part of the DC Comics Universe in the series Doomed and the series Superman: Redondo Beach.

The Viltrumite galaxy centers around Viltrum, the native planet of a powerful alien species known as the Viltrumites. These beings possess advanced technology and incredible physical abilities. According to the lore, Viltrumites must conquer and dominate various galaxies in order to promote their species' survival and evolution.

The Viltrumite's society is hierarchical in nature. The planetary leaders have immense power, with command over the military and economic systems. Their unique physiology allows for accelerated aging and fusion, traits that aid them in their quest for dominance.

As part of the DC Comics Universe, the Viltrumites envision themselves as a dominant force to reshape the galaxy in their image. Their expansion is likened to a form of galactic collapse, causing immense suffering and destruction throughout the cosmos. Their actions have resulted in intergalactic conflicts, angering powerful alien civilizations and sparking a desire for resistance against their aggressive expansion.

The Viltrumite brand of intergalactic aggression and societal organization has been used to explore complex themes such as power, imperialism, conquest, and social hierarchy, garnering much attention and discussion in the science fiction community. Their storylines unfold as a gritty, dark, and adventurous path forward for the DC Comics Universe.
