I thought his race/ethnicity was something present in the comics but I’ve been reading through them and have found no mention of it so far

Hes actually asian- viltrumite

Edited: Guys u was making a joke about how people in US call themselvs african american or asian american or anglo american. At most hes a mix between human and viltrumite. Now am assuming viltrumites culuture has evoled beyong the concept of nationalism or culturalism as they seem to be soly homogensized (as they are barely left) and am guessing he would probably self actualize as an american since he grew up in the US. But yall need to chill with this entire discussion i was making a joke. Dont need an entire debate about race- ethnisicty- spieces and culture etc

He would be a human-viltrumite. Viltrumite would be the species like humans are. It wouldn't be equivalent to being Asian.

Exactly. It’d be whatever the Caucasian equivalent is on Viltrum. (Assuming Nolan is supposed to look Caucasian)

I doubt the viltrumites have a name for different races.

Given their society I would assume that being viltrumite is what matters and internal viltrumite distinctions are seldom made. At the least they would classify viltrumites more by strength than flesh color

They have two races: strong and dead.
