A new piece of fan art suggests Nick Offerman would make a great Omni-Man in the live-action film adaption ofInvincible. The critically acclaimed animated series premiered onAmazon Primein March and has already been renewed for a second and third season.
Invincibleis based on the comic bookof the same name and follows Mark Grayson, a teenager whose father is the most powerful person on the planet. When Mark turned 17, he gained powers of his own and started working as a superhero alongside his father. His father is the mighty Omni-Man, a humanoid species who adopted the secret identity of a best-selling author upon arriving on Earth. Omni-Man possesses superhuman strength and speed and is considered one of the greatest comic book villains of all time.
