Temper: Despite his redemption and his generally calm, superheroic demeanor, he, like all Viltrumite,
does have a bit of a temper. OK, make that a HELLUVA temper…

cause extreme pain and may even possibly kill them.

Build Comments: Omni-Man is Invincible’s father and Earth’s greatest hero in that setting. He has a
small…fall from grace, we’ll call it, during the early run of the book but he is back to his heroic ways
now, helping defend Earth from the remaining Viltrumites who are preparing to take over Earth and
the rest of the galaxy.

Spoilers ahead if you haven't read the comics, seen the wonderful Amazon series or pretty much
been under a rock for the past 10 years or so...

Outside of the vast sensory powers, Viltrumites are every bit the paragons that Kryptonians and
Daxamites are. However, in my setting, I like the Kryptonians and Daxamites being the top dogs
overall, some Viltrumite strength trends slightly lower, but they tend to be better in combat overall
since they are a warrior race.

Secret Origins: The super-being known to the people of Earth as Omni-Man is not actually human,
but a member of the alien Viltrumite race. Extremely powerful by human standards, the Viltrumites
are a brutal, vicious race. They achieved what they call a utopia by culling the weaker from their own
numbers, leaving a race of conquerors bent on bringing new worlds under their control, subjugating
weaker civilizations. Races who failed to submit to the Viltrumites were attacked and in some cases
wiped from existance.

Nolan had pursued greatness among the Viltrumites, working arduously to earn a position on the
conquering committee. He was stationed on the frontier of the expanding empire, helping conquer
numerous worlds, as well as undertaking solo missions such as hunting down the "infinity ray"
weapon. Excelling at his work, Nolan received accolades for his brutality and efficiency and was soon
promoted to lead his own division.

The Story so Far: Omni-Man arrived on Earth over 30 years ago, where he eventually adopted the
secret identity of a best-selling author named Nolan Grayson. He married a woman whose life he had
saved named Debbie, and the two of them produced a son, Mark Grayson. It was later revealed that
Nolan was sent to Earth as a conqueror for the Viltrumite Empire, a revelation that was in stark
contrast to his previous claims that his presence was to advance human technology and protect the
Earth from extraterrestrial dangers. In a confrontation shortly thereafter, Omni-Man beat Mark to
within an inch of his life and then fled the planet.

It was further revealed that Nolan had found a new planet over which to rule, in the hopes offsetting
some of the consequences of his earthly failure. Nolan's rise to power, however, was entirely
peaceful. The custom of the native inhabitants, the Mantis Aliens (an insectoid people who live
entirely within a nine month span) was to simply choose the oldest among them to act as their
leader. Also, as on Earth, Nolan had taken yet another native wife, Andressa, and sired a second son.
The genetic differences between Viltrumites and the mantis-people were more apparent, though,
than they were with humans. This caused the child to age much more slowly than his mother's
species, but much faster than his father's.

Omni-Man's attempts to appease the Viltrumite Empire ended in failure with his defeat and capture
at the hands of his own people. He was held captive in a prison until the Empire was able to send the
required Viltrumite executioners. His parting words to Mark were "Read my books, Mark. My
books..." In a conversation with his tailor Art Rosenbaum, Mark learned that the books Nolan
referred to were not his well-known travel books, but a series of failed science fiction "novels". While
Arthur suspected that the stories were Viltrumite folklore, Mark quickly realized that they were in
fact first-person accounts of Nolan's own missions to destroy potential threats to the Viltrumite
Empire, which could provide the secrets to defeating the Viltrumites.

He's later saved on the day of his execution by Allen the Alien, to whom he agrees to reveal the
"secret": Viltrumites are a near-extinct race, with less than fifty pure-blood able individuals left.
Emboldened by the incredible strength shown by his ersatz ally, he begins a two-men campaign to
eradicate Viltrum's supremacy.

Omni-Man became one of the leaders of the Coalition Forces against the Viltrumites during the
Viltrumite War. Eventually, he helps broker a peace between Earth and the Viltrumites to save the
planet and his people. He reunited with Debbie and the two of them moved to a former Guardians of
the Globe moonbase since he cannot return to Earth after his betrayal of the original GOG team.

Thragg learned that Nolan should be the true ruler of the Viltrumites as he was a direct descendent
of Lord Argall. Eventually Thragg knew that he had to kill Nolan and attacked him, revealing Nolan’s
true lineage to him. After the other Viltrumites found out, they rallied to Nolan’s side, defeated and
captured Thragg. Nolan promised to take the Viltrumite empire in a new, peaceful direction. Seeing
that their time on Earth was changing many of the other Viltrumites as it had him, he allowed
Thragg’s plan of breeding with humans to continue.

Nolan sentenced Thragg to exile and he left the planet to plot his revenge. Nolan has taken to his role
with aplomb, working to undo the damage done by his people over the millennia across the galaxy
and working to secure true peace on Earth.

Characterization: Ever since his battle with Mark and his subsequent flight to Mantis-World, Nolan
has been rethinking his commitment to Viltrumite ways. He developed a sense of empathy toward
others that was alien to most Viltrumites and came to see their conquering ways as a foolish quest
that has brought them to the brink of extinction.

Nolan is very forthright, speaking as openly and honestly as he can while remaining polite. Nolan was
a very dedicated and understanding father.

Friends and Foes: He did not try to shelter his son but did take the time to provide guidance and
assistance as Mark learned to use his powers. Though Nolan originally said he only loved his wife in
the sense that one might love a favored pet, he realized that his feelings for her were true and he
worked hard to regain her love and trust. He truly loves his sons and has forged friendships with
Allen and others in the Coalition of Planets.
As the new leader of his people, he has made many inroads with those who once thought him a
traitor but now having experienced Earth as he has, have come around to his way of thinking.
However, former Grand Regent Thragg has vowed to end him and return to rule his people someday.
