I know they are Viltrumites but man they put 0 effort into trying to get information out of Allen

[u/Jack1066 → u/bobw123]

I'm a bit confused how Allen was even alive the first time he got beaten by the Viltrumites (in his background story)? They don't seem like the people to leave someone half dead, or maybe they couldn't gauge how durable he was and just thought that was enough to kill him?

Either way, these viltrumites do not seem geared for anything but war. I know their purge got rid of anyone 'weak', but does that mean it got rid of anyone who didn't just think the exact same way?

I also don't understand the context of his fight with Omniman, that they've mentioned a couple of times

[u/Jack1066 → u/JimothyJollyphant]

Allen's fight with Omni-Man? I think Nolan would fight him like some annoying bug that kept popping up every few years. If he knew he was from the federation of planets I think that might have stopped him from murdering him? To make sure that Earth was just ticked off the list and no alarms had been raised. Although I'm not sure yet how involved Nolan was with the Viltrumite tactics, if he knew there was a mole in the federation anyway
