That was probably my favorite part of that whole fight. Not knowing anything about the comics, i thought that would at least put him down for a few minutes but nope. He shrugged that shit off
I've always felt like Mark is the real Superman of this universe, because growing up on Earth as a human is a huge part of the character. In some ways Omni-Man could be more like Zod if he was Superman's dad.
It's a deconstruction of superman with omniman, so we can reconstruct it with Mark. Overly Sarcastic Productions did a great detail diatribe on the subject
During a period when the Green Lantern comic was called Green Lantern Corps and it was a team book, there was a massive, huge jawed alien named Kilowog who was a Green Lantern. In one story when they needed more power he created an atomic turbine. His team mates stared in disbelief because they thought he was "the tall dumb strong one in the back". "What's that?" "Atomic Turbine. You can make anything you can think of with the Green Lantern ring... if you know how it works." "You know how an atomic turbine works?" "Sure, doesn't everybody?"
Yeah that's the thing that's easy to forget when one is making snide remarks with hindsight The lantern ring user can make anything but they have to know what they're making, they can't just go "hey ring make this thing I only heard of but never seen or know how it works" Every GL has his own style As someone else said, John Stewart was a soldier, he was trained in practical solutions "if problem A then use solution B" Hal Jordan is more inventive but even he sticks to what he knows like jets, missiles etc
@@mrroboshadow That's what was exciting about Kyle Rainer when he first appeared. He was a comic artist,therefore he had a bigger imagination and could make a greater variety of things on the fly. I've never really been a big GL fan,but I do like peeking in every once in a while to see what Kyle does.
Yeah, but if I know that's how the lantern ring works then I would learn how a bunch of things work so I could use them. They also have the ring itself as a resource because it has access to the lanterncorp version of Wikipedia.
There's a reason John Stewart in JL/JLU is so basic with his power usage. He's a soldier, an ex marine - he's trained to tackle problems efficiently with no fuss
Jon Stewart in the comics is pretty creative with his powers. He is frequently shown making guns, planes, tanks, complex robots, and an entire Marine squad, all acting independently. He's not creative in the show because it's expensive to draw all that stuff.
They show his creativity all the time in the comics, the guys an ex marine sure, but he's also an architect IIRC, and it's reflected in all his creations bejng more solid, they have all the nuts and bolts, and as a result his creations are more durable than other people's. Every lantern in the Corp brings his own experience and strengths.
As a person who loves John Stewart, Atom Eve is actually more powerful than GL. Her constructs are permanent and she can manipulate all atoms. She's dope!
I remember reading about a comic that was another "what it Superman but in another universe", some random dude got given Superman levels of bullshit powers, he used it to steal cable and spend every day watching and eating greasy snacks.
Yes, the point of Superman isn't his power, it's that despite his power he's a good man who cares. One sequence I liked from the My Adventures with Superman cartoon was where they suddenly come under gunfire and Clark throws himself in front of Lois to stop her being hit. She asks him, "How did you know you were bulletproof?" He answers, "I didn't. I just knew that you weren't." Superman is the man who'll take a bullet for others, even if he doesn't know he'll survive it. He cares. It's why Snyder's take never worked, because Snyder can't comprehend a man who's good for no other reason than to be good. But that's who Superman is.
@@SuperboyLilly sorry, i don't remember. There was a time when I had like a sub to Wizard magazine, there was always some indie comic or other in the articles.
I was going to point this out. Nolan is one of the top five strongest. Also, the initial reason he didn't just take over was because the Guardians Of The Globe, as a team, were too strong for him to attack head on - he had to earn their trust and then only managed to barely beat them in an ambush.
Invincible was quite the ride. I started watching it because the art style made me think of the Batman and Superman shows from 20-30 years ago. and starting the first episode was oh yeah that is a lot like those shows until it wasn't anymore. and I was like this was diabolical.
when you said that the DNA of Omni-man's species overpowers any other genetics. if i remember the comics, there is when Omni-man goes to a planet of an ant like race and well he has another child, they are a full on memember of the same species as himself, but has purple skin and the accellerated growth/ageing towards a prime age and just kinda slows down. So i might think that the Viltrimite DNA only takes in genetic traits of the breed species that can be a benifit and well being able to rapidly reproduce several strong soldiers in basicly a few months is kinda insane. so yea might be true or not. It is just my little thought about it
thing is that Oliver eventually grew to resemble the Viltrumites more than the bug aliens with his paler skin and lack of whatever features the bug aliens had
John Stewart's rather unimaginative use of the ring is due to him being an ex-soldier. Creativity was never really something he needed. The same with Hal Jordan though he was a bit more Loony Toons in his application. It never really got creative until the artist Kyle Rainer became Green Lantern.
@@justo1409Definitely. Despite the simplicity of his constructs, they're structurally sound without being too elaborate because people prefer to live in houses that stays upright :p
Would be cool to see a storyline where the existence of these super heroes drives technological advancement. Omnima’s ability to fly suggests the laws of physics allows reacionless drive so make some tech that replicates that. Similarly the energy density of Omniman to achieve what he does implies the possibility of better power sources that could drive this new tech
he literally does drive technological advancement the issue is they don't know how strong omniman is other then he struggled 1 time to kill a Cthulhu esq monster. they literally made satellite weaponry for the purpose of trying to take omniman out if he went bad and it is practically a tickle.
I got the impression that when omniman said "we have the power to create leverage off of anything", it meant that viltrumites fly by pushing off of air, fast enough (and with enough volume) that it's like pushing off the ground. even in the most desolate deep parts of space, there's always like, a particle per square metre. like a helicopter, but with microflexions of muscles so it doesn't look like anything's happening, or something
A true hero is made not born. I won't say anything else as I read the comics. But man will the Omni-man discussion get interesting as more and more of the comic is adapted. His character journey is an interesting one.
I’m glad I came and checked the channel because this was LOST, it never showed up in my feed and based on the view count I’d guess that happened to a lot of ppl bc with invincible s2 this should be getting more ciews
The offspring being basically a Viltrumite is a human thing. Humans and Viltrumites are close enough genetically that a Viltrumite plague could just hop between the two species. Wait, since when have Viltrumites had zenkai? Mark just gets stronger with time and practice (he has to exercise to maintain his flight speed).
In the comics after being severely injured by Thragg, he's remade by Eve to be even stronger. Not exactly getting a boost from just healing normally like DBZ but close.
If you're interested in a DC Lantern using their powers intelligently there's this story called With This Ring that has an orange lantern MC and it really explores what a smart power ring user could actually do.
Hmm, iirc, while he is definitely nowhere near the strongest Viltrumite, and Battle Beast absolutely would wreck him, I wouldn't call him an average Viltrumite. He was a tough old veteran, even amongst them.
Viltrumites dont have a zenkai type ability, they just have insane survivability and Mark is actually learning from his past mistakes. Allen the Alien is the only character with this kind of power and he visibly shows his increase in power by showing up even more jacked than before he was in a near death experience. Invincible likes to streamline whatever power mechanic to be consistent with others like Wolf-Man, Monster Girl, and Dinosaurus being able to heal their bodies via transformation. so if there was any zenkai boost type abilities they would've present it the same way how Allen gets jacked after surviving a near death experience
What makes Omni-man and mark really well written is that they are versions of superman. Omni-man is a break down of the evil superman while mark is the spirit of superman
Honestly, a viltrumite/Saiyan kid would be nightmarish. Loves to fight. Grows ridiculously fast. Stronger after recovering from near death. On top of already being superman with a crazy healing factor.
Don't Asari not use the dna of the "father"? Just neural imprints or some such thing? I think the child of a Viltrumite and an Asari would still be an Asari, just a really, REALLY fucking scary one.
DNA from both parents is still involved and Viltrumite DNA is some VERY potent stuff. That's all I can really say without spoiling some pretty big things for show only people.
@@Connor-ONeill Having looked it up, it seems that isn't the case. "Instead of trading cellular material directly like other biological organisms, asari reproduce by "melding": linking their nervous systems with their partner's and utilizing the electrical pattern of their partner's system to provide a template for half the DNA of their resulting child." So no actual DNA from the father is used, just what is basically a map of it.
@@ltspyder2177 doesn't matter if it's a template or a partial map. Genetics are already weird. If a kid is being made and a Viltrumite, man or woman, is ANY part of the equation, prepare for that kid to be different in a major way. There's a legit possibility that we could end up with a "male" asari that is capable of reproducing the old fashioned human way. That is the level of f**kery that just a fragment of Viltrumite DNA could produce.
@@ltspyder2177 I know it's not how normal asari reproduction works, but if a Viltrumite is involved, biology will say "f**k you" and _make_ it work, even if it's just a template of a Viltrumites DNA and not the actual stuff. At the very least, the kid will live for multiple millennia, possibly even longer than a human hybrid thanks to the longer asari lifespan.
Spoiler to those that don’t know the comics. There is a gun that can kill Viltrumites and Nolan knows about it and apparently encountered it. Also, I think you also need to do a video on Allen the Alien. Talk about someone with saiyan like powers of upon nearing death they get stronger, Allen’s power-ups from near death experiences seem to be massively higher than Viltrumites power-ups from near death experiences. Also Mark’s breathing capability in space is getting massively larger. Another fun bit about Viltrumites biology discussed in the show, the older that Viltrumites get, the slower that their cells age, and a really important part of Viltrumites biology and the ramifications of humans biology mixing with them presents another saiyan like power/capability although I believe it was simplified into adrenaline and how Viltrumites can’t as easily access that from heightened emotions, but humans can (Mark can, we see it in season 1) as well as the consequences of that in the comics. Cheers!
Pretty sure that an Asari/Viltrumite child would still be an Asari, seeing as their children do not take any actual genetics from the non-asari parent, just using it as a guide to shape the development of the Asari genes.
Yeah, but Asari don´t take DNA from their mates. They just copy some random chains to randomize certain sequences and birth something that isn´t 100% clone. They are Bene geserit without sex. hehehehe. So you would get an asari with a mustache at most.
remember with mortal kombat all participants are weakened to be near the same power. Shao Khan is a literal god but is weakened to mortal power during the MK tournament.
DC comics literally said in the Doomsday Clock that the DC universe exists because of Superman. He is that universe's defense mechanism to keep it running. The timeline keeps change so that the present exists around Superman
Yes, but it was a trash story, like pretty much every attempted tie in to Watchmen. Watchmen was lightning in a bottle, but it was written, and it ended. It does not, and cannot, be brought back for mainstream comics, especially with the talentless writers they have today.
@@freman007 True. They should have kept it separate but I still like the idea of superman existing solely to keep the DC universe going. Like there are many old stories involving the new gods and the source wall that imply the the universe is a living entity. And I like to think that Superman is like it's antibody and time and space the veins in which he travels to fight cancerous cells like Darkside or diseases like beings from other universes
I mean... DC says a lot of things. The three Cs of what DC doesn't have: continuity, canon and consistency. Which hasn't stopped them from putting out some great stuff, but they're generally been sort of a hot mess.
I haven't read the comic, but I'm certain that the girl whose superpower is to manipulate matter to an atomic level will be the key to defeat Omniman. Too bad she can't use her powers on people.
Unfortunately probably not. Thragg could dumpster Eve if he felt like it, and while she can’t be killed, viltrumites are capable of controlling their own atoms, this is how they fly around and are durable, through exerting strength of their smart atoms. She’d be able to damage one, but they would most likely be able to defeat her.
@@alexandergreene461 Also have to take into account that the large majority of her power is locked away, and she only gains access to it in moments of extreme emotion or near death experiences. She is also, practically immortal, she does age as normal, but when she becomes old and frail, her powers activate and restore her to her peak physical performance again. If she had full access to and control of her power, she'd be scarily dangerous!
The conflict between Superman and Zod could have been solved if Superman had just said, "I'll keep Earth, you can have Mars, and the Codex." Frankly the idea of a star-faring race being so desperate that they couldn't move one planet over and turn it into a replica of Krypton is stupid. But let's face it. It was a Snyder movie, and that means "stupid".
Saying Ultraman is a normal dude on his planet is a bit misleading. In the comics it is heavily implied, if not outright stated, that he is one of a very select few elite warriors. It just doesn't mean much when all the remaining Viltrumite population is the same or even better.
Its also implied though that most pure viltrumites are elite warriors due to the others killing them if they arent. Its a kill or be killed and the only ones left are the ones who kill
@@empdisaster10 Yes, but it's not due to that. There's only a handful of viltrumite alive at the start of the series, and that's entirely separate from the culling that made them strong in the first place. Nolan was entrusted with Earth after a long vetting process (making him one of the strongest), but that was before most of the race was eradicated.
I'm going to say this now this is a spoiler for the first season if you haven't seen it yet okay not over with another argument against people who think Omni man can beat Superman other than the arguments in place on this episode is the fact that when Omni Man fought Guardians of the globe I think that was their name anyway yes he beat them to a pulp fairly easily but he also took some good damage from that fight telling me that even though he is one of the toughest characters in the series is durability is nowhere near what Superman is
And what difference would it make? That's like saying Buggs Bunny could beat batman. Like, yes, he could, because one is a comedy character and the other isn't. Saitama is a joke character, and his joke is that he always wins in one punch. Like, it just isn't useful information to say this, because no shit
Doesnt the context about his blood being nigh indestructible kinda make the scene where Omni burns it off kind of not make sense? Apparantly, it's got a weakness to heat.
I don't really see Home-lander as a Superman analog. I've always seen The Boys as a story about what would have happened if superpowers only existed to make a profit; Home-lander is the closest you can possibly get to Superman, in a world where powers were created explicitly for selfish, personal, gain. But that doesn't make him a... It doesn't make him the same kind of character as Superman; It just makes him a random guy, who happens to have very Superman like powers.
@@kenj0165 Yeah, I actually tried to spell it that way at first, but the red typo bar kept appearing underneath it; It's because the spellcheck just doesn't know who he is, but it's was annoying to me, so I just split his name up to avoid it.
Not all Superman analogs have to have his virtuous personality; hell the point of most evil Superman analogs is that his personality is beyond unrealistic and the world wouldn't produce someone who acts the way Superman does in the comics.
@Madara8989 Not unrealistic just very unlikely in all of human history i doubt there wasn't at least one person who had a similar personality to Superman

Yeah, but Asari don´t take DNA from their mates. They just copy some random chains to randomize certain sequences and birth something that isn´t 100% clone. They are Bene geserit without sex. hehehehe. So you would get an asari with a mustache at most.
Ngl; I assumed at first that Battle Cat was just the UK localization.
Oh, you.
isnt this the second time a Death Battle has been recreated in MK with DLC?
Nolan is a fine man.
I think pandemic Mox reign gotta be considered as a top reign
remember with mortal kombat all participants are weakened to be near the same power. Shao Khan is a literal god but is weakened to mortal power during the MK tournament.
What if a face hugger got on one
DC comics literally said in the Doomsday Clock that the DC universe exists because of Superman. He is that universe's defense mechanism to keep it running. The timeline keeps change so that the present exists around Superman
Yes, but it was a trash story, like pretty much every attempted tie in to Watchmen.
Watchmen was lightning in a bottle, but it was written, and it ended. It does not, and cannot, be brought back for mainstream comics, especially with the talentless writers they have today.
@@freman007 True. They should have kept it separate but I still like the idea of superman existing solely to keep the DC universe going. Like there are many old stories involving the new gods and the source wall that imply the the universe is a living entity. And I like to think that Superman is like it's antibody and time and space the veins in which he travels to fight cancerous cells like Darkside or diseases like beings from other universes
I mean... DC says a lot of things. The three Cs of what DC doesn't have: continuity, canon and consistency.
Which hasn't stopped them from putting out some great stuff, but they're generally been sort of a hot mess.
You should dive jnto the warhammer 40k wiki it gets nutty
I like the green lantern movie ^__^;
Invincible is Superman
Omni Man is General Zod
Well its not completely true that nolan is just a normal viltrumite he isn't the strongest but he is the only viltrumite to ever receive an award
Everyone keeps comparing Omniman to Superman, to me he is more of an evil version of Goku. The Viltrumites are like Sayians .
I haven't read the comic, but I'm certain that the girl whose superpower is to manipulate matter to an atomic level will be the key to defeat Omniman. Too bad she can't use her powers on people.
She _is_ set up so that it can just happen when she's in distress.
Unfortunately probably not. Thragg could dumpster Eve if he felt like it, and while she can’t be killed, viltrumites are capable of controlling their own atoms, this is how they fly around and are durable, through exerting strength of their smart atoms.
She’d be able to damage one, but they would most likely be able to defeat her.
@@alexandergreene461 Also have to take into account that the large majority of her power is locked away, and she only gains access to it in moments of extreme emotion or near death experiences.
She is also, practically immortal, she does age as normal, but when she becomes old and frail, her powers activate and restore her to her peak physical performance again.
If she had full access to and control of her power, she'd be scarily dangerous!
Not to be a smartass, but The Boys is a deconstruction of the Superhero genre, Invincible is a reconstruction.
Is this a new channel?
It's not brand new, we launched about 6 months ago, so it's still pretty early on at the moment.

I used to watch your other channel about comics so this one is in my alley
Gojo solos🥱
What is the point of this comment? Like, who cares?
Mark is Superman, omniman is Zod. Well, Zod if he was way more of a psychopathic piece of shit.
The conflict between Superman and Zod could have been solved if Superman had just said, "I'll keep Earth, you can have Mars, and the Codex."
Frankly the idea of a star-faring race being so desperate that they couldn't move one planet over and turn it into a replica of Krypton is stupid.
But let's face it. It was a Snyder movie, and that means "stupid".
Saying Ultraman is a normal dude on his planet is a bit misleading. In the comics it is heavily implied, if not outright stated, that he is one of a very select few elite warriors. It just doesn't mean much when all the remaining Viltrumite population is the same or even better.
Its also implied though that most pure viltrumites are elite warriors due to the others killing them if they arent. Its a kill or be killed and the only ones left are the ones who kill
@@empdisaster10 Yes, but it's not due to that. There's only a handful of viltrumite alive at the start of the series, and that's entirely separate from the culling that made them strong in the first place. Nolan was entrusted with Earth after a long vetting process (making him one of the strongest), but that was before most of the race was eradicated.
I'm going to say this now this is a spoiler for the first season if you haven't seen it yet okay not over with another argument against people who think Omni man can beat Superman other than the arguments in place on this episode is the fact that when Omni Man fought Guardians of the globe I think that was their name anyway yes he beat them to a pulp fairly easily but he also took some good damage from that fight telling me that even though he is one of the toughest characters in the series is durability is nowhere near what Superman is
So Karl was a little toasted for this episode wasn't he?
Good on ya mate. Blow off some steam when you can because this youtube game seems rough.
A viltrumite + asari would still be an asari. Asari reproduction is 100% asexual, children are not hybrids.
subzero could beat omniman in mortal combat in the same way isabel can beat mewtwo in smash bros
Saying omni man isn't one of the strongest of his kind is wrong on so many levels theres maybe one person in the comics stronger than him
Saitama will kick Superman’s ass
And what difference would it make? That's like saying Buggs Bunny could beat batman. Like, yes, he could, because one is a comedy character and the other isn't. Saitama is a joke character, and his joke is that he always wins in one punch.
Like, it just isn't useful information to say this, because no shit
Doesnt the context about his blood being nigh indestructible kinda make the scene where Omni burns it off kind of not make sense? Apparantly, it's got a weakness to heat.
But. Saitama CAN beat superman! Gag characters > OP serious characters
I don't really see Home-lander as a Superman analog. I've always seen The Boys as a story about what would have happened if superpowers only existed to make a profit; Home-lander is the closest you can possibly get to Superman, in a world where powers were created explicitly for selfish, personal, gain. But that doesn't make him a... It doesn't make him the same kind of character as Superman; It just makes him a random guy, who happens to have very Superman like powers.
Homelander is one word.
@@kenj0165 Yeah, I actually tried to spell it that way at first, but the red typo bar kept appearing underneath it; It's because the spellcheck just doesn't know who he is, but it's was annoying to me, so I just split his name up to avoid it.
@@gabeclement1131 Gotcha
Not all Superman analogs have to have his virtuous personality; hell the point of most evil Superman analogs is that his personality is beyond unrealistic and the world wouldn't produce someone who acts the way Superman does in the comics.
@Madara8989 Not unrealistic just very unlikely in all of human history i doubt there wasn't at least one person who had a similar personality to Superman
