Omni-Man's Mortal Kombat 1 trailer is a splatter-filled gauntlet of Invincible's most harrowing scenes

pcgamer.com:

I knew Omni-Man's inclusion in Mortal Kombat 1 was gonna bring back memories—you grab any popular character and throw them into a fighting game, and their moveset's going to be reference-heavy. But NetherRealm really went all out with this one. First, due diligence—if you've not watched it yet, I'm going to run through some major spoilers for Invincible's first season. 

The trailer is a flashback-inducing gauntlet of some of Omni-Man's worst moments. He's a Viltrumite—a Superman that's not above splattering someone's brains across the wall. He's also part of a horrific, galaxy-spanning Empire dedicated to «bettering» the universe by obliterating any civilisation that disagrees with them. Fun times.

As such, he gets a lot of harrowing moments of ultraviolence during the show. Because those moments are now burned into my frontal lobe, I'm gonna call out the references from the trailer as I see them. Come with me for a gory jaunt down memory lane.

At around 0:21, Omni-Man grabs his opponent's ankle and swings them around like a morningstar, smashing them into the earth. That's a reference right off the bat—he did the same thing to Darkwing, Invincible's Batman analogue, after he thought getting into melee range with the man who can punch through concrete was a good idea.

It then smash-cuts into a Fatality at 0:24, where Omni-Man pummels his opponent into the dirt, straddling them like the world's worst cowboy. That's from when he personally won the «worst dad of the year» award by almost turning his son into paste. That spine-crushing move at 0:42 also comes from a scene where he grabbed the absolutely massive backbone of government agent Donald Ferguson during his heroic last stand. Unfortunately, Ferguson's steel cojones
