one of his books was called "The Man with the Invincible Gun"

could be a foreshadowing of some viltrumite killing weapon perhaps? 🤔 If they're going to take on a whole empire of viltrumites I just don't see how Nolan and Mark can do that alone, even with the help of earth, their allies need a weapon capable of even harming a single viltrumite.

the fact that the gun is described as invincible in a show called invincible about a guy name invincible means the gun is pretty important

I may be misremembering but doesn’t someone say that Nolan’s a travel writer? Maybe it’s tongue in cheek as in his “travel writing” is his adventures in space presented as sci-fi novels or is it retconned?

Yeah they totally said that in the first season, I was like what’s up with all this sci-fi? 🧐
