Is it really a redemption arc if the only people that forgave him were his wife and son? And even then, Debbie did so with a huge amount of skepticism. He didn't win Earth back or anything like that. And Cecil only kept him around as the Viltrumite threat was finally looming over. I feel like redemption arc is giving Omni Man too much credit. I can totally see his family forgiving him if it meant going back to the way things were, and even then, they didn't go back. 20 years is a long time for Debbie to simply overlook when the change was so sudden relative to their relationship.
And Mark I can't even blame for looking for solace in his father considering how much he started to add onto his plate. He needed direction, even if that direction came from someone that did unspeakable things, he's still your blood.
I love how conversation has to devolve into such snarkiness for no reason lol. I'm literally just asking a question. I didn't think of it from the perspective of Mark only. Considering the amount of characters in the comic it's fair to look at it through the lens of more than one character. Sure, if I'm looking at it from Mark's perspective then yeah, I definitely agree. But I can't view Omni Man through that lens because most of what he does is isolated to only a few people.

I didn't. Giving him a redemption arc was such a terrible choice, especially with his wife taking him back.
