Omni-Man's most gruesome Mortal Kombat 1 fatality is straight out of the Invincible animated series
As Invincible's Omni-Man is making his debut in Mortal Kombat as the fighting game's first post-launch character, NetherRealm Studios has given us an extended glimpse of the supervillain in action in a new gameplay trailer.
Just ahead of the season 2 premiere of Invincible and Omni-Man's debut in Mortal Kombat 1 on November 9, the gameplay trailer shows off Omni-Man's brutal and incredibly imposing combat style, including a fatality that's pulled straight from the gruesome season 1 finale.

For the uninitiated, Omni-Man is the central villain of Robert Kirkman's Invincible comic series and the current animated show on Amazon Prime Video. Played by J.K. Simmons in the show, who returns to voice him in Mortal Kombat 1, Omni-Man is essentially Invincible's take on Superman, but with an incredibly dark secret. He's actually a powerful alien invader tasked with wiping out all human life on Earth - and that includes the superhero population as well. The shocking opening episode of Invincible shows Omni-Man brutally dispatching members of the Guardians of the Globe (Invincible's take on the Justice League), leaving Earth in a weaker position.
In the season 1 finale, Omni-Man greatly overpowers his son Mark Grayson - known as the new superhero named Invincible. During the fight, Omni-Man pummels Grayson across a major city, leading to a gruesome moment where he sticks him in front of a train full of citizens. It's a chilling moment that shows Omni-Man's lack of humanity and raw power, and it's been recreated in full for Mortal Kombat 1. Unlike Grayson, however, the Mortal Kombat fighters won't survive this gruesome show of strength.
