I love the omni man design in Mortal Kombat GAMING

As someone who loves this comic and game franchise both dearly, it was awesome to see Omni-Man come to life, and he’s one of the most fun characters i’ve ever gotten to use in a fighting game

Love how they translated his super-speed too. The sound design is great.

his back forward 2 (Y on Xbox, Triangle on PS5, X on Switch) is my favourite. It’s verbatim to when he slowly levitates towards the house Donald is staying at the end of season 1 and the wall just explodes like it’s been bombed

It’s pretty interesting that this is the most “canon” realistic version of any Invincible character that we’ve gotten so far. If they do Injustice 3, I’m sure we’ll get Invincible as DLC, so that’s something to look forward to.
Also, I can’t wait to see Omni-Man vs Homelander soon! (we all know Omni-Man clears)

I'd LOVE to have Invincible and Watchmen DLC. Injustice 3 is high on my "fingers crossed" list of games I hope get made.

Would you recommend Watchmen? I have no idea what it is but it’s always popping up in the superhero fandom haha. Should I check it out?

Very much so, I really think it is one of the best comic stories ever written.

Watchmen is the first iteration of the style of superhero media that we have with Invincible and The Boys (and so many others). Some spectacular dialogue too. I might get slammed for saying this but I'd straight up watch the theatrical version once and call it a day. It's VERY faithful to the graphic novel, omitting some juicy stuff that wasn't needed (the theatrical cut is 2h 46m IIRC) and the end was made more... modernly digestible. (The show HBO did may be extra confusing early on if you don't read it or at least look at what they changed.)
"I have walked across the surface of the sun. I've witnessed events so tiny and so fast they can barely been said to have occurred at all; but you, Adrian are just a man- and the world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does it's smartest termite."

Read the book, and then watch the show. If you absolutely must you can watch the Zack Snyder movie but I honestly wouldn't recommend it. It's mid at best and he obviously does not understand the source material beyond a very superficial level. But the show is pretty good

Injustice 3, Titanfall 3, and and ATLA game are my most wanted.
Following that, I want a game adaptation of the Throne of Glass, Frostblood, and Red Queen books. I know its a massive jump and never going to happen, but I definitely want them.

u/CartoonAcademic Omni-Man Apr 15 '24
I would love an invincible DLC but I would really not like a Watchmen one, I really don't think the story or characters would fit a fighting game

u/lemme_try_again Apr 15 '24
How not? They have actual Gods in both MK and Injustice. They're for funsies, not for story. Comedian, Rorschach, Nite Owl, Dr. Manhattan, Silk Specter, Ozy... they all fight. Remarkably well too.

The Death Battle between Omni-Man and Homelander is one of the best.

He looks excellent in this game. The one thing that's kind of saddening though is that Villain Nolan is what's everywhere in the pop culture zeitgeist (video games, death battle, etc), where in reality he's only a villain in the beginning portions of the series, for most of it he's a hero.

u/Mr-GooGoo Rudy Conners Apr 15 '24
It’s solid. But I think there’s something about his face I can’t wrap my head around

Personally I think this is the best design the character has, I personally like it more than the look in the comic or show

u/randomHunterOnReddit Apr 14 '24
I mean...this is meant to be what the comic/show suit would look like irl

u/Jasetendo12 DIABOLICAL INVINCIBLE ME Apr 14 '24
same too, i feel like fortnite nerfed his design lol, not because of the butt.

u/Ziggurat1000 Titan Apr 15 '24
I'm kinda on the fence on this one.
I like how the red parts look like actual leather, but his face just looks too young for my liking. Like he just dyed the sides of his hair grey.
I guess you can chalk it up to him aging slower cause he's a Viltrumite, but he just looks off to me.

You're entitled to your opinion, even if it is wrong.

u/Number1ForHonorHater Apr 15 '24
I mean he isn't wrong. He's right about him not liking the design.
It's a good design though.

u/TomModel85 Apr 15 '24
Just don't like the art style. He looks all rubbery and too much like Jeremy Renner.

u/dancingbriefcase Duct Tape Man Apr 15 '24
I appreciate the honesty! I didn't downvote you; you have that right to opinion
