Omni-man | Invicible

Nolan or Omni-Man is one of the deuteragonists of Invincible, initially serving as the main antagonist of Season 1, before beginning to redeem himself in Season 2 and onwards. He is infamously known as the fallen "superhero" Omni-Man, who is also secretly known by his adopted Earth name Nolan Grayson. He is the husband of his first wife Debbie Grayson and widower to his late second wife Andressa, the father of Mark and Oliver Grayson. He was a high-ranking Viltrumite warrior of the Viltrum Empire, formerly dedicated to aiding the Viltrumite mission to make it the only empire in the universe, until his time on Earth changed him for the better. He left the Empire to join the Coalition of the Planets in their struggle to end the tyranny of his own people once and for all. Physique Nolan is a tall man of fair complexion with blue eyes and trimmed black hair. He also sports a well-groomed mustache. In spite of being thousands of years old, Nolan's physical appears to be middle-aged, having the hair on his temples and the back of his head turned grey and slight wrinkles about his face. Even more, while looking like a man beyond his prime, he possesses a commanding presence of a well-built and powerful physique, notable for its broad body structure. Clothing Viltrumite Soldier Attire During his early years as a soldier of the Viltrum Empire, Nolan wore the traditional plain white Viltrumite uniform. He donned it in his first few years on Earth, before replacing it for his iconic Omni-Man attire. Omni-Man Attire In his "superhero persona", he is dressed in a complete bodysuit, in which the upper section is adorned in white while the lower section showcases a vibrant red color. It is worth mentioning that he adorns white boots, which are embellished with a solitary red highlight positioned at their center. In contrast, his gloves exhibit an inverse color scheme. To finalize his attire, he adorns himself with a scarlet cape. The attire showcases a prominent elongated crimson highlight embellishing its core, where a scarlet "O", symbolizing the titular individual, is prominently displayed. It actually symbolizes his people, as the Viltrumite insignia has a similar design, except with the three linear shapes. Earth Civilian Attire On Earth, Nolan would often wear short sleeved shirts, blue, grey button shirts, with grey or dark blue pants. The Monarch Attire After becoming the ruler of Thraxa, he modified his outfit almost resembling his original superhero costume, albeit without gloves, an "O" symbol, and red leggings. Viltrumite Prison Attire While a prisoner in the Viltrumite prison asteroid, he wore a prison suit consisted of grey and white colors. Coalition Soldier Attire To be added... Personality As Omni-Man, Nolan initially shows the persona of an ideal superhero: brave, compassionate, charming, loyal, and willing to sacrifice himself for others. To the average viewer, his status as a hero was certain and undoubted. In his human persona, he appeared to be a loving husband and was a good father, even though his high expectations for his son were demanding, these expectations usually kept in check by Debbie. The most his Viltrumite heritage showed would be from his ideology towards the responsibility of being a hero, which Mark claims is more along the lives of saving millions and billions rather than hundreds or thousands, eventually heightening tensions with Debbie and Mark. However, his true nature follows the general nature of most Viltrumites. He is ruthless and loyal to the Viltrum Empire, committing countless amoral horrific acts for the Viltrum Empire to conquer planets. Due to his race's near-immortality, immense power, and extremely advanced technology, he sees many other races as being weak and inferior. Arrogantly believing it is his duty to bring order to other societies for the greater good, he will conquer them, and, if they resist, they are subjugated violently. Despite the shameless and indifferent way operates for the Viltrum Empire it's not done out of hatred or sadism, he truly believes that he is doing the right thing, viewing dominance as the same as peace and prosperity. His ruthlessness is seen with his genocide and near-destruction against the Flaxans and their planet after they tried to conquer Earth first. He also shows no remorse for the killings of thousands he has done and finds them pitiful instead. Nolan even declared that while he loved his wife, he considered her as a pet and even stated he could kill Mark to have another son that he could raise to be loyal to the Viltrum Empire's Expansion plan. Despite his god-complex and callous ways, his time on Earth gradually began to change him. During the times he presents himself as a cold and pragmatic warrior, he often potrays uneasiness with his actions. He was willing to kill the original Guardians of the Globe in order to weaken Earth's defenses against the Viltrumites, but soon after seemed distraught about his actions. Likewise, while originally finding Earth actives like sports as pointless, he came truly love his family, enjoying time with them and showed genuine happiness to see them succeed. During his fight with Mark, he constantly berates him for caring about Earth and living like a human, however his arguments and increasingly unhinged tone imply Nolan is trying to convince himself of his own actions. At the end, when he angrily asks his son what Mark will have in 500 years, his son weeps and tells him he would still have his father. This confession of love from his son, despite all he did to Mark, was enough to break Nolan out of his cold Viltrumite persona and cause him to breakdown in anguish. Horrified at what he had done to his son, Nolan chooses to abandon his mission and leave Earth rather than kill his own son, with tears streaming down his face as he departs for space. In the end, Nolan's 20 years on Earth was enough to change the thousands of years of Viltrumite dogmatism he had lived through. Nolan's decision to murder his friends, slaughter innocent people, and attack his son seemed based on nothing more than habit and conditioning as a Viltrumite soldier and when confronted with the realization of his own actions, Nolan feels immense guilt and remorse, even when space voyaging, and nearly depression when he encountered a black hole, preparing to end his life, but was given a second chance when saving a small race of passengers and being given role "Monarch" to the planet's residents. When he reunited with his son after months, he showed no ill will and merely smiles at him. Despite having changed for the better upon meeting the Thraxans, Nolan was still unable to comprehend why he cared about them when they were massacred by Viltrumite invaders. Although he felt furious at the slaughter, he believed that the Thraxan species were weak and short lived compared to himself, with his Viltrumite conditioning leading him to believe that they shouldn't matter to him, and yet they did. When Mark points out that this is how he was supposed to feel on Earth, Nolan is left in a stunned silence, and for the first time in his life, he is unable to justify the Viltrumite mindset of seeing weaker species as inferior and worthless. This realization developed even further during his time in prison, he no longer saw himself as a Viltrumite due to his newfound empathy and was more than ready to accept his fateful execution, until he reminded himself of the one who changed him forever: his deeply missed first wife, Debbie. When his life is saved by Allen, he confesses that no Viltrumite would ever do such a thing for another, eventually coming to terms with having a first true friend.
