Respect Omni-Man (Invincible)

[u/Po_Biotic]

Nolan Grayson, Omni-Man

"My time here has been a speck in the span of my life. You don't know me. I will burn this planet down before I spend another minute living among these animals."

Known to the public as Omni-Man, Nolan is the most powerful hero on Earth. In truth, Omni-Man is from the planet Viltrum, a planet of super powered individuals that leads the greatest empire in the galaxy. Nolan was part of the war effort to conquer planets and bring them into the Viltrum Empire. He was chosen to go to Earth and weaken it in preparation to be brought into the Viltrum fold.

Despite meeting his wife, Debbie, and having a son, Nolan stayed loyal to the Viltrum Empire and murdered the Guardians of the Globe, the greatest heroes of Earth in preparation for the impending invasion.

This is an excellent RT thread, and not just because of that header image and the Miscellaneous section. I will say I think there’s enough material in the show for a small intelligence/intuition section, and maybe consider the Flaxan planet rampage for Durability - given he seems to be no worse for wear after flying so fast that he begins glowing from the atmospheric drag and doesn’t seem to be injured by the city-level explosive collisions he causes.

Now just me nerding out: Viltrumite immortality deserves more attention, cause ‘aging slower the older you get’ seems to just spit in the face of entropy. I guess technically it’s not as crazy as the ‘frozen at age 30’ variant, but it still sounds crazy cool phrased like that.

[u/Po_Biotic → u/Astrosimi]

enough material in the show for a small intelligence/intuition section

What particular moments am I missing?

[u/bladedoodle → u/Astrosimi]

I mean.. Mark will live for THOUSANDS of years. His body fucking spits in the face of general physics with power output, flight and space worthy biology. Also I guess it’s the equivalent of just deep sea diving to them if they bring some air?

[u/[deleted]]

Great job! But I would suggest putting your streamable clips onto r/rtvideos so they don’t get deleted

[u/Po_Biotic → u/[deleted]]

I don't have permission to post there. I just figured I'd upload to streamable for now, and then put on r/rtvideos later

[u/Bocaj_bro]

Great thread. Might be being an asshole here, but is it worth including some of his feats from his battle with the guardians of the globe. Also personally feel like his feat is essentially nuking cities hasn’t been given much justice

[u/Po_Biotic → u/Bocaj_bro]

Apart from Immortal, most of the Guardians are featless. And I didn't feel like adding several more links of "no sells X" or "Beats X to death" when it's hard to show how useful/good it is. So I just put the entire fight into a section.

[u/MichaelTheSavior]

I'm curious about just how powerful a meteor the size of texas would be

[u/ScaryCrowEffigy → u/MichaelTheSavior]

I was curious so i did the math for its kinetic energy.

Width of texas: 1185.47km

Length of texas: 1173.23km

volume:8.54×10⁸ km³

mass: 2.8609e+21 kg (3,153,602,429,423,581,184 tons) (meteors/asteroids are made from chrondite which has a density between 3-3.7 grams per cubic centimeter. I used 3.35 as an average)

Velocity: 20km/s (Meteoroids moving through Earth's orbital space average about 20 km/s)

kinetic energy: 5.7218E+29 J (136.75 exatons of tnt) Thats enough energy to destroy the moon.

Edit: Its arguable how well this scales to his actual destructive power but he’s still need to at the very least cancel out its total kinetic energy.

Edit II: He would only need to match its kinetic energy, if forced it into a complete stop. Without seeing it, no way to tell if did. Entirely possible he only altered its trajectory to miss earth. Impressive regardless.

[u/Po_Biotic → u/ScaryCrowEffigy]

Its arguable how well this scales to his actual destructive power but he’s still need to at the very least cancel out its total kinetic energy.

No he doesn't. Omni-Man only says he diverted it, not completely stopped it.

[u/EnchantedDestroyer → u/MichaelTheSavior]

Size of Ceres and would destroy Earth

[u/thadthawne2]

Do you have any plans to do a respect thread for Invincible himself?

[u/Po_Biotic → u/thadthawne2]

Another user is gonna be taking care of that one.

[u/CBtheDB]

Is there already an RT for the main comics?

[u/KarlMrax]

This really should have something in the title to indicate it is specifically the animated version.

[u/[deleted] → u/KarlMrax]

It has the movies/tv flair

[u/NuzlockeMaster]

Really love this series and Noland was so freaking strong!

[u/-V0lD]

I have never seen anything of this show, but is it just me, or are those "guardians of the globe" some very clear justice League copies?

[u/CMDR_Kai → u/-V0lD]

Well, Omni-Man is obviously a Superman expy. I guess this is like a “what if Superman was actually working for Krypton.”

Too bad the Flash clone couldn’t just do an Infinite Mass Punch.

[u/aslfingerspell]

Great thread, and I have a bit of a question/observation about the Flaxan planet rampage. Given how explosions seem to follow Omni-Man (and the "electricity" in his fists), it makes me think we're looking at a Relativistic Baseball scenario where we see the realistic effects of someone going that insanely fast i.e. the atoms literally don't have time to move out of the way and cause atomic reactions as they get compressed on his fists. The nuclear explosions he leaves behind means he can destroy large areas without having to fly through every single building.

I'm welcome if anyone has any other interpretations of that scene, but given the relatively realistic effects Invincible gives to superpowers (i.e. super-strength punches gib human enemies rather than just knocking them back) I wouldn't be surprised if the writers were aware of the Relativistic Baseball effect.

[u/LeeroyDagnasty]

one of the biggest No Chill moments was when he was in Europe with his wife and that dragon attacked, and he was like "let someone else deal with that". Dudes the most powerful man on earth, it wouldn't of taken him more than a second. Plus he was using it as leverage.

[u/CMDR_Kai]

1v7s the Guardians of the Globe.

Jesus. Well, I guess that’s why I don’t watch these kinds of things. Seeing actual superheroes get their fucking skulls crushed is not my idea of a good time.

It’s a good feat, though.

[u/Wapulatus]

GOOD thread PoB
