1. Upgrade
While his handbook page says that his claim to have laid waste to an entire star system (which by the way, he never states that in his only two appearances up to when the handbook was published) suggests his power can initiate a chain reaction of exponentially increasing destruction, it also says that his destructive and absorptive potential is theoretically infinite and the more energy he absorbs the greater his physical and psionic powers become
There are also other claims of the Invincible universe being infinite, which he was planning to destroy to reshape it
In short, upgrade Omnipotus' peak to "...up to High 3-A" over being able to absorb infinite energy and use it to completely destroy universes and reshape them
- Agree:
- Disagree:
- Neutral:
The true purpose of this CRT
Omnipotus' base is currently scaling to Low 5-B over being completely unaffected by Tech Jacket's blasts, which could hurt Kregg, who's at least comparable to Nolan and Thaedus
The issue with this is that it can't quite be his base since, due to how his powers work, literally the moment he stepped in the Invincible universe he started absorbing energy, and he keeps getting stronger throughout the fight with his flesh even growing back to show his increase in power
This isn't shortly after his arrival or something like that by the way, but the nth step in a larger plan to stop him. As the dialogue between Robot and Zack implies and the handbook confirms, prior to this they infiltrated the warp vessel to steal the blueprints for the warp key. With a chain of events that would roughly go like Omnipotus arriving and causing havoc, the GDA being notified and assessing the situation, forming a plan with all the heroes, infiltrating the warp ship, stealing the designs for the warp key and then building it...yeah Omnipotus spent quite some time in the Invincible universe
Best we have is this brief cameo in #33, where he's back to being all skull and damaging Post-Thraxa Mark, but with all the light works in the background who's to say it isn't because of the energy he's using
Why does he have two separate keys anyway ? His psionic powers are intrinsically connected to his physical statistics. It should be all one and going with the above it would be: "Varies. At least High 6-B, up to High 3-A"
However, Omnipotus' scaling doesn't end there as he'd comeback way later in the story
Omnipotus returns in Invincible #87 and going by statements he's impossibly stronger than before, paired with the fact he even grew his eyes back to hammer down how powerful he's become
If in less than a day he grew strong enough to be unfazed by Tech Jacket's attacks, with several months of preparation he would be unbelievably above the value Middle of Series/Viltrumite characters characters would scale to, and then Dinosaurus one-shots him, who then gets pummeled by Mark
Like, this is an insane scaling chain we would have to structure plenty of profiles around if we were to go with it. Currently, it'd look something like this:
1.373 zettatons = Tech Jacket << Omnipotus' First Appearance <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Omnipotus' Final Appearance << Dinosaurus < Invincible (Post-Viltrumite War) [New key] = Robot (Titanium Volcanic Armor) = Omni-Man (Post-Viltrumite War) [New key] << Allen the Alien (First Evolution) << Thragg (Pre-Timeskip) = Battle Beast
Personally, I don't think it was intended to be all:
- Mark could already knock out Dinosaurus with one well dealt punch prior to any of his future appearances and it's never portrayed like he got any stronger in-between.
- One could argue Mark himself grows stronger after the Viltrumite War, but it isn't portrayed to such an insane degree either; he could overpower the Invincible reanimen (who should reasonably scale to Low 5-B) and break free from their grip but he couldn't one shot them and it was still portrayed as he'd be overwhelmed in a prolonged fight and lose (and it's not like he has much reason to hold back against reanimated corpses of his evil variants).
- In #108, the encounter with the alternate version of Conquest and his threat hinges entirely on that he is Conquest as we last saw him, except that going with the above he would've been out-scaled hard.
- There's a reason his feat of knocking out Brit happened off-screen, as that completely breaks his whole gimmick of being THE stonewall of the verse, which is the reason Robot can't harm him even with viltrumite-tier weapons and Brit can in fact destroy them with enough force. At least the handbook says he supposedly has Life Absorption, which is the only other time (that I know of, I'll get to reading his stuff soon) Brit was knocked out, and he definitely doesn't need viltrumite-level AP to beat over the rest
Of course, this is all assuming Zack didn't get any stronger from that fight til the Viltrumite War, which going by how the Tech Jacket works is possible.
But even then, it's not like he has a "Beginning of Series" key, and the only feat from that time he has is still pending evaluation (also which, no matter how you look at it, is much stronger than the current Viltrum calc), and yet we still wouldn't have any concrete multiplier of how much stronger he would've gotten if we were to go with that. You could dismiss all this as outliers but frankly everything about this character is outlier-ish lol
As I see it, the only ways to go about this are:
A. Dismiss Omnipotus' last appearance as an outlier
The only one who would currently be notably affected by this is Dinosaurus but even then he isn't losing much. There's him drawing blood from Mark, Cecil reaffirming he can hold his own against Invincible, damaging an Invincible Reaniman, Allen's statement that he isn't a lightweight and restraining Oliver.
Going with this options leads to other two:
- A-1. Proposed scaling above: Varies. At least High 6-B, up to High 3-A
- Qawsedf234, Godernet (Only 3-A)
- A-2. Scale him in a vaccum (if lower ends are deemed too inconsistent): Varies, up to High 3-A
It'd have to go in the "Explations" section of the verse as described above and the mentioned profiles should be worded to address it accordingly
