Do you think the Guardians Of The Globe could have won if Red Rush had stuck to just bailing the others out of death and hadn't attacked himself, or do you think everyone was doomed no matter what? They did put up a great fight even after he was removed, so I think it's plausible they could have. DISCUSSION

The comics explain a little bit better.

Nolan was given 500 years to take over Earth.

If Mark didn't end up getting powers, Omni man would wait for Mark and Debbie to die of old age. Only after that he would resume his mission. Pretty solid plan.

But Mark getting his powers ensured that he would still be there in 500 years. So there was no point in waiting to take over. More than that, I think that Omni man knew that Mark and him would only get more attached to Earth, so he probably decided that it was time to take actions before it was too late.

That makes more sense. Also factor in the fact that Mark would get better and stronger every year, so the earlier Nolan took action the more likely he succeeds

I think the opposite is true. If Nolan had waited 300 years it would have given Mark enough distance from the past, and restarts, that he would see Nolan’s point about humans.

I agree with you here. Like let mom and everyone else he’s attached to pass all while taking up how great viltrumkte is and how they need to start focusing on the mission etc….

Exactly, Omni-man just got impatient.

If we've learned anything it's that Viltrumites are not famous for their patience.

He'll have his own kids and they'll have their own kids, and now Mark has to enslave or, worse yet, kill his own dynasty.

Wouldn't his kids also be Viltrumites? Omniman says something along the lines of "viltrumite dna is so pure that you're practically 100% Viltrumite" to Mark.
