~ Nolan Grayson's nihilistic rant towards Mark Grayson.
Omni-Man is the deuteragonist of the Image Comics series Invincible. He is a soldier of the Viltrumite Empire that was sent to conquer Earth. However, Omni-Man had cared for Earth during the time he spent living with his wife Debbie Grayson and son Mark Grayson. Once Mark Grayson receives his superpowers, Omni-Man begins his plans to conquer Earth for the Viltrumite Empire, but is conflicted to do so, due to Omni-Man's love for Earth and his family.
In the past, he has conquered multiple planets and enslaved their races for the Viltrumite Empire.

Why Doesn't He Stand Out?[]
Despite easily passing the baseline due to his massive kill count, he fails the system standard as he is part of a species that does the exact same thing, as all other Viltrumites kill people and conquer planets, preventing him from being unique. While it's true that he does have lower resources than most of the Viltrumites, he doesn't do enough to stand out on his own.
Cares for his wife Debbie and son Mark Grayson, being conflicted about raising him as a Viltrumite or a human. He also couldn’t bring himself to kill Mark, and chose to leave Earth instead.
While he did murder the original Guardians of the Globe, Omni-Man made sure to kill them quickly so it would emotionally hurt him less. This shows that Omni-Man cared about the original Guardians of the Globe and did not want to betray them. This also makes him a villain by proxy,as he did evil things like that against his better judgement for the Viltrumites.
While he did conquer Thraxa as king, Omni-man acts as a peaceful ruler towards the Thraxans and was angry when he saw the Viltrumites kill them.
He goes on to feel remorse for his past actions and redeems himself to stop the Viltrum Empire, saving the universe.
Trivia[]
He was originally approved as Inconsistently Heinous for his high kill count and limited resources, but when it was revealed that he is part of a species that shares his crimes and he does not do anything unique to stand out alongside the other Viltrumites, he was removed and got a page on this wiki.
While Omni-Man’s original comic incarnation is a Villainous Benchmark, the version from the Amazon Prime television series is Inconsistently Heinous due to him having significantly worse onscreen crimes like his genocide of the Flaxons, along with his fight against Invincible and The Guardians of The Globe being much more brutal. Since villains like Robot, Angstrom Levi, and Thragg have yet to leave their mark on the series, he also doesn’t have to compete with their personal villainy towards Mark. This allows him to stand out even taking into account his race.
He and Nacho Varga are currently the only two Villainous Benchmarks on this wiki to be on the Inconsistently Admirable wiki, Magnificent Baddie wiki and Guile Hero wiki all at the same time.
