Omni-Man

Omni-Man is a fictional superhero character who mainly appears in the Image Comics series Invincible. He is a "Viltrumite", an alien superhuman race from the planet Viltrum, and is the father of the eponymous protagonist also known as Mark Grayson.

Omni-Man rose to further popularity following the release of the 2021 animated TV adaptation, where he is voiced by J.K. Simmons. Fans immediately noticed his near-identical resemblance to J. Jonah Jameson, one of Simmons' most famous roles. The character also spawned many internet memes.

Not to be confused with Dick Grayson from DC Comics.

Tournament history
Due to Omni-Man's rise to mainstream popularity during the first half of 2021 thanks to the animated adaptation of Invincible, many were expectant to see the Viltrumite make a deep run into his debut in the tournament, confident that the amount of memes and discussion generated through the year would be enough to hoard the votes necessary for him to at least reach the Sweet-16. However, Omni-Man would inmediatly get stomped by the tournament veteran Uncle Iroh in the first round. Omni-Man's dissapointing performance compared to the expectations that voters had placed upon him can serve as a reminder that recency is not always enough to guarantee a contestant's success, as people will often favor older characters rather than not.
