The Viltrumites sent three fighters to take Omni-Man down, and the young Invincible could do little more than run away and try to hold out against any member he squared off against. Expecting their retribution Omni-Man called his son into space to assist him in fighting them off, but it turned out that Omni-Man himself would have to wage most of the battle on his own. He arrived on Earth as a conqueror for the Viltrumites, but the aliens saw the abandonment of his post as a betrayal. In the wake of his moral crisis that left his son nearly beaten to death and Earth mourning thousands of casualties, Omni-Man fled to a distant planet to sort through his dilemma. It's his integrity that takes the biggest hit, and the fight proves to be a central turning point for the character. The godly scale of the scene deals with the reality of its casualties for the rest of the series, and at the end of it all Omni-Man appears to be physically undamaged. The two smash through pavement and crumple a train car beneath them in their clash and as their battle spans the globe, they crush mountains and trigger violent avalanches. The very first punch sends Invincible careening through buildings that topple over in his wake. More than anything it's the emotionality that sells it, but that doesn't mean the action isn't jaw-dropping. Although he destroyed the Guardians of the Globe just a few issues prior, there was never really a chance to see Omni-Man cut loose, and infused throughout the entire sequence is the heart-wrenching dialogue of a son discovering just how monstrous his father really is. Perhaps the most memorable of any of Omni-Man's fights is his epic showdown against his own son in Invincible #12. Supreme was whisked away and Omni-Man woke up shortly afterwards, making this the only tie to rank among Omni-Man's best battles. Finally the two met in a climactic clash that left both unconscious in the middle of a crater. Supreme's heat vision gave him a slight upper hand, but it was ultimately unable to do significant damage to Omni-Man. The two were a near equal match as they went toe-for-toe, splitting skyscrapers in half with their punches and pressing every advantage they could. Both characters were among the most powerful of their respective universes, and though Supreme made mention to the events of Invincible the two were rarely shown coexisting in the same universe.įortunately, the one battle that occurred between the two titans was well worth the wait. In keeping with publisher Image's tradition of freely crossing over between titles at creators' discretion, Erik Larsen and Cory Hamscher's Supreme #66 and #67 had its title hero square off against Omni-Man and leave mass destruction in their wake.
Are the invincible comics finished series#
Even the most diehard readers of Invincible may have missed one of Omni-Man's most brutal battles because it did not take place in the series at all.
