Both Omni-Man and Homelander are satirical versions of the superheroes we have grown up watching. While their people love and hail them as their saviors, the reality is different. Perhaps this completely different iteration of supes is what makes these two so popular amongst viewers. And now, fans will soon get to see Omni-Man and Homelander fight each other in the video game Mortal Kombat 1.

Back in 2023, fans were greeted with the news that Homelander would be getting added to the video game in the ‘Kombat Pack’ and the day is not too far anymore. The first teaser showing Homelander’s gameplay has been released, and it looks like Omni-Man and others may have to take a step back as the Superman dupe is ready to scorch through anything and anyone.

The world of animation has literally no bounds. An animated show can be as brutal or violent as the creator’s imagination or as dreamy as Disney. J.K. Simmons knows this fact better than most since he voices the character of Omni-Man in the iconic animated TV show Invincible.
It is the belief of J.K. Simmons (and us too) that animations have no restraints. While talking about Invincible and how the character of Omni-Man is quite an iconic one, Simmons revealed that he hasn’t read ahead much in the source material. Although primary research about one’s character is a good thing when voicing or acting… J.K. Simmons has a fair reason for not reading ahead!

The world was shocked when Steven Yeun, Mark Hamill, and, several other stars joined hands in voicing the iconic animated series Invincible. Premiering in 2021, the series was the animated equivalent of The Boys and received worldwide acclaim and praise for not holding back.
The character of Steven Yeun, who is Invincible himself, is on the path of discovering his powers. Being a superhero requires a supervillain who could challenge him. Luckily (or unluckily) for Invincible, a supervillain is already on the hunt to kill him. As fate would have it, however, the villain in Invincible also suffers from the same weakness that Marvel’s Venom suffers from!

Staying true to its comic roots, Invincible has largely pivoted away from Omni-Man in its second season. After nearly beating his son to death in Season One, the J.K. Simmons-led character undergoes an emotional journey and finds his new home in Thraxa after saving their people from a black hole.
However, the character has remained largely absent in Season Two since the show’s premiere after getting gravely injured while battling the Viltrumites alongside his son and is ultimately taken into custody. Reflecting on his little appearance this season, Simmons elaborated on the character’s future moving forward.

The second season of Invincible promises to delve deeper and deeper into the mind of its biggest villain, Omni-Man. After the shocking events of the first season of the Omni-Man’s unforgivable actions, viewers are questioning whether redemption is even possible for this once-beloved hero turned-villain.

Invincible’s showrunner and producer Simon Racioppa spoke about the challenges of getting audiences behind Omni-Man's redemption arc in Season 2 after everything he did in Season 1.
The former superhero has a lot going against him. The series started with Nolan Grayson murdering nearly the entire Guardians of the Globe team. By the end of the finale, Omni-Man had wiped out millions of innocents in several destructive acts of violence after being outed.
Needless to say, he is not the type of character one routes for.

J.K. Simmons has embodied as well as voiced a considerable number of renowned characters, and that of Omni-Man in the Invincible saga still ranks as one of his best ones to date. Yet as much as fans love his voice behind the character in their favorite superhero animated series, Simmons isn’t willing to reprise his role in a live-action project.

Instead, the 69-year-old actor strongly believes he could be a much better option to play one other character; one more inclined to the supervillain panel than his current character. And as much as fans want him to reprise his role, they also can’t help but admit that his playing a supervillain wouldn’t be a far reach for him either.

While the popular animated series is currently airing its second season, a film based on the comics by Robert Kirkman is reportedly still in the works. Many fans have campaigned for Jon Hamm and Joe Manganiello to play the role of the Viltruimite but J.K. Simmons had two other actors in mind for the role of Omni-Man.

J.K. Simmons, the voice actor of Omni-Man in Robert Kirkman’s Prime Video animated superhero series, has announced his top pick for the role of the Viltrumite in the Invincible live-action movie that’s still under development.
Fans have continued to throw names into the mix of actors to embody the title character and his father in the film since the announcement of the big-screen adaptation in 2017.

And now, courtesy of Simmons, we have another potential candidate, who the 69-year-old believes would be a proper fit for Nolan Grayson. That someone is none other than X-Men star Hugh Jackman. With ample experience in the superhero genre and enough gravitas to qualify for the complex role, Jackman’s foray into the Invincible world wouldn’t seem far-fetched or unrealistic.

In a world where superhero franchises like Marvel or DC seem to dominate the box office, the adult animated superhero tale of Invincible has quietly emerged as an excellent alternate.

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 5 of “Invincible,” now streaming on Prime Video.
Mark’s time to think is over: “Invincible” Season 2, Part 2 has just premiered.
The episode picked up right where Part 1’s finale left off, with Mark (played by Steven Yeun) left stranded on the planet Thraxa after Omni-Man’s (played by J.K. Simmons) capture by the Viltrumites.
Though the episode didn’t reveal Nolan/Omni-Man’s fate, we did get to see Mark step into his role as an older brother after the last episode’s bombshell revealed what Omni-Man had been up to since flying away from Earth — starting a new family on Thraxa and fathering a new son, Oliver.
Mark has spent the past two months helping to rebuild the planet, and after initial hesitation, decides to take Oliver back to Earth to be raised by him and his mother, Debbie (played by Sandra Oh). Mark,...

The Robert Kirkman-created show has gained acclaim over the course of its run for its witty storytelling and subversive parodying, and the second season is taking things up a notch. In the recently released episode, audiences see two characters, Dupli-Kate and Shrinking Rae, meet their demise. This has led several viewers to wonder whether their fate is sealed and if this is it.
If we flip through the pages of the comic series, one between the two seems to have been dealt the shorter end of the stick.

Steven Yeun has scored a lot of commendation-worthy roles, but none comes close to his exceptional voiceover of Mark Grayson in the animated Invincible web series. For one that serves the story of a normal teenager whose father is Omni-Man and who struggles with his father’s legacy as he develops powers of his own to save the world, this series has earned massive critical acclaim.

However, even through such tremendous reception, the adult animated series still had one thing that earned a lot of criticism, especially for the currently ongoing second season: The unbearably long break in between. But Yeun has once again stepped up to seemingly assure fans that this criticism won’t be repeated in the third season of the series.
