Ok but why adding "the alien" into the name when like half of the characters are aliens? DISCUSSION

He is the last of his kind. in a universe full of aliens he will always be an alien to everyone.

u/Invincidude Allen the Alien Apr 24 '24

No he isn't. There are other Unopans still. They have breeding camps to prevent their extinction. Allen is unique among Unopans, but not the last one.

u/The_Thin_King_ Apr 24 '24

Yeah I forgor. But Point still stands his race has been evicted from their home planet so they have become an alien wherever they go.

u/MutedIndividual6667 Get me pictures of Invincible! Apr 24 '24

Yeah, but only one is the original

u/7777Leo7777 Apr 24 '24

If the other is an exact copy, both are original

22

u/PandasDontBreed Apr 24 '24

Yeah, an original copy

u/SKiddomaniac Red Rush Apr 24 '24

None of them are original. The original mauler is long gone and long dead

u/BNB3737 Apr 24 '24

That’s what the copy would say

Just cope, you are the copy, copied?

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '24

Yeah , because we all know YOU are the clone

u/Idrinkgermaline Apr 24 '24

I don't think the Maulers are aliens. I've not read the comics, mind you.

u/inconspicuous_male Apr 24 '24

I haven't read the comics either [which means if you have, please please please don't comment] but my theory is that they started as humans, and each clone is slightly deviated from the previous so over time they developed into monsters.

My thoughts were that since they are clearly experts in genetics and in transferring consciousness they started life as a singular scientist that decided to design a new genetically advanced body that was very strong and very durable then transferred their consciousness into that body.

The original then died (most likely killed by the copy as they were clearly the original since they looked completely different) and then the copy generated a new body and they continued from there.

Damn that theory would make a lot of sense and it would tie back in with why they can’t know who the original is. I wonder why they would call themselves brothers though if originally one clone was the creation/invention of another, I feel like that would be more like a son. Maybe the original scientist lost his twin brother in an accident or something and he tried to clone himself to recreate his twin, but he gave the new body enhanced strength and resilience so his new brother couldn’t die again.

u/Idrinkgermaline Apr 24 '24

I just assumed they did an Angstrom Levy style upgrade with their genetic manipulation knowledge, and ended up looking like that.

u/JourneymanVagabond Apr 24 '24

He's not the last of his kind. No idea where you go that from.

u/Resident_Hair3065 Where's Mark, William? Apr 24 '24

I'm brainstorming. I need a hospital

u/CXC_Opexyc Apr 24 '24

How is he last if unopans are still alive, just fleed from their planet?

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '24

He's not the last though...
