HOW TO BEAT OMNI-MAN | Weakness And The Best Strategy To Take Down The Viltrumite

Pretty much every comic book story stars an Orphan. Having dead parents seems to be a key characteristic when it comes to being a superhero so it’s nice that Invincible breaks the mould and gives us a loving and generous father in Omni…wait what the.

Well, turns out that Omni-Man is one of the biggest supervillains ever, viewing human life as something weak and meaningless. Omni-man has no problem wiping people out in their thousands just to prove a point and he even refers to the woman he loves as nothing more than a pet.

He’s pretty much what would happen if Homelander had a baby with Brightburn and the guy is one of the worst superpowered people that you could ever come across.

So what should you do if you ever you’re ever in a fight with him or you just so happen to be unlucky enough to be on a train that he’s forcing his son’s face through?

Well, I can’t help much with the last one but in this post, we’re gonna be discussing the character’s weaknesses whilst also giving our plan of attack on how to take him down.

Full spoilers ahead as well as some parts of the comics that the show hasn’t got to so if you don’t want anything ruined then I recommend that you check out now.

The Viltrumites

Viltrumites are pretty…well… Invincible

The race comes from a planet of supremacists in which only the strong were allowed to survive and all the weak were killed off to make way for them. Selective breeding and eugenics shaped the race to be the strongest beings in the universe and because of this, they have several abilities.

Viltrumites have super strength, can fly, hold their breath in space for two weeks, and also grow a dashing moustache that would make Freddie Mercury blush.

They also become stronger the older they get and their rate of ageing slows to a crawl meaning that they can live for thousands and thousands of years all whilst still looking middle-aged.

Weaknesses

However, they do have weaknesses and in the comics, Cecil Stedman discovers what this is.

Hearing 

After his battle with his father, Mark is comatose and Cecil ends up studying the character to uncover a way to defeat him should he ever go rogue.

It’s revealed that Viltrumites have highly sensitive ears and when Cecil ends up enlisting Mark to work alongside him he gives the character an inner ear communicator. On the surface, this just seems like something that he will use to keep in touch with him but he actually has far more nefarious plans.

The device can also emit a high-end frequency that completely destroys Mark’s equilibrium and this knocks him off balance.

Now because both Mark and Nolan existed on Earth for a long time they also share a common weakness that we all have.

Blind Spot 

In Episode 7 it’s revealed that in America’s drinking water there is a certain chemical which means a range of light is imperceptible to both our eyes and the Viltrumites.

This means that Cecil can hide certain things from Mark and before launching his attack on the character he actually takes him to the white room before unleashing the re-animen on him. Cecil hammers the high-frequency alarm and this causes Mark to get the crap kicked out of him.

Now though Mark escapes and flies across the planet, Cecil uses his teleportation device to follow him across Earth, setting off the device every step of the way.

This is a key part of our plan so just in case you haven’t prepared to fight him yet then I suggest you set 40 billion dollars aside to build such a device.

Mark manages to make it to the Guardians Of The Globe who are furious that Cecil has done them dirtier than Fredo Corleone.

Now in the Viltrumite war, we see several of the weaknesses play out and not to get too spoilery but one does die by being tossed into the sun.

So there’s another one for you.

Scourge Disease 

We also learn of something called the Scourge Disease which is basically a virus that wipes out 99.9% of all the Viltrumites. It’s so powerful that humans don’t stand a chance against it and it’s one of the most dangerous diseases in the entire universe.

At one point in the comics Mark actually gets infected by this and it leads to him losing his powers. Now he survives because he’s a pure blood that is connected to the royal dynasty but by that very thinking, Nolan is too.

Thus we can completely remove almost all of his powers with this viral strain and leave him as weak as that one guy who thumbs down every video the minute after it’s released.

Now interestingly when Nolan first came to Earth and encountered Cecil he told him the BS story about Viltrumite which stated that it was a peaceful race intent on doing good throughout the galaxy.

At the time Cecil and The GDA actually suspected that this was a lie but they didn’t put any contingency plans in place purely because Earth needed a protector.

I think that this is where Cecil could have actually started to formulate something that would have been key to defeating Nolan and in our plan, it’s the starting point.

Fighting the Guardians 

Now after fighting the Guardians Of The Globe, the character was left hospitalised whilst his body healed.

This would’ve been the perfect opportunity to study his DNA and discover the high-frequency weakness that all Viltrumites have. Unable to move, you could inject a device into his head much like how Cecil did with Mark that would allow you to trigger this noise.

After throwing an exploding house and Kaju at him you could then lure the character to the white room and in here move silently.

Invisibility 

Now we do see through the Re-animen that using the same light technology that it’s possible to turn yourself invisible. Though never explicitly stated, it is likely that Cecil’s security guards too have this within them and this is how they can operate undetected.

In fact, when they’re in Nolan’s home up until he suspects something is up he has no idea that they’re moving amongst the furniture and possessing this technology would be the key to bringing him down.

What I’d Do

In the white room, I wouldn’t wanna take any chances that he might sniff me out and it’s at this point I’d activate the inner ear implant that would have him looking like your uncle Knobhead dancing at a wedding.

Whilst Mark escaped through the ceiling in order to get away I would teleport out of the white room at this point and unleash the Scourge virus which would disable his powers and abilities. The virus would be contained because of this and I also wouldn’t get infected.

Now I think the big issue in Cecil’s plan is that he constantly threw things at the character instead of focusing on weakening him first before unleashing his Armada.

Because we can’t toss Omni-Man into the Sun we need a way to bring the Sun to us and thus it’s at this point that I would unleash the satellite which has been channelling the energy of the star to weaponise it.

Firing this laser at the white room would not only kill Nolan but it would also destroy everything inside of it including the scourge virus meaning that we don’t get another 2020 and let’s be honest…most of 2021.

Nolan would finally be dead at this point and I could relax knowing that I’d saved not only the entire planet but also that Debbie was single as well.

So not a bad deal.

Now whilst this plan is amazing, foolproof and the best way to kill the character, there’s also another that I haven’t talked about that would work amazingly.

Just give him pictures of Spider-man and that should calm him right down.
