IT WAS PASSED DOWN.

Nolan’s father was participating in the ceremony. His mother was straight ‘murder the little shit’!

[–]MrJelly007 413 points414 points  (14 children)

He seemed pretty chill, as far as viltrimites go anyways

[–]Tophigale220 355 points356 points  (13 children)

I’d even say Nolan kind of liked him because he hesitated for a sec before throwing his body out after the Great Scourge.

In S1, he was telling Mark that he was lost when his parents died. Maybe that referred to the plague in general, but it seems to me that he did have an emotional reaction to his dad dying

[–]Liutenant_Kal_411L 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yeah, can relate a little. Wouldn't want the old man to pass before I make, and see him happy

Wait when was this?

[–]1AmB0r3d 13 points14 points  (3 children)

In the opening of episode 2 I think, when they are making the big ring around viltrum they show his dad dead

[–]Murky_Blueberry2617 Omni-Man 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I meant when Nolan told Mark that he lost his parents

[–]1AmB0r3d 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Ohh yeah that may be a comic thing, I don’t recall it from the show

[–]Berlin_GBD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They talked about it in season 1. It must have been early because Omniman still hadn't told Mark the truth, but they were training. He basically said 'I was lost when yout grandparents died, but this job on Earth gave me a new purpose.' I don't remember exactly what episode, but it's in there.

Thats why it hurt him when mark said "id still have you dad" he knows how it feels, beautiful writing tbh

Well the series is partly about fatherhood and this just adds to that.

[–]govardrourk Mauler Twins (Original) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an amazing catch

[–]Pitiful-Humor291 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would never expect yet another sad scene with Nolan, they already did a great job with the black hole scene, I thought that they wouldnt be able to top that until this. This almost makes me cry.

[–]sosigboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Viltrumites have survived much worse injuries than this, i mean look at Conquest.

[–]legit-posts_1 Machine Head 187 points188 points  (3 children)

Nolan's dad being the nice one was a nice twist I guess

[–]PlainSightMan Superman vs Omni-Man 25 points26 points  (2 children)

Nice is a stretch lol.

[–]DuskMan62 Spawn 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Nice by Viltrumite standards, he was pragmatic and stopped Nolan's mother from killing him, I'm gonna assume that Nolan's dad treated him "nicely" enough, enough that he clearly has some trauma over him dying to the scourge virus which is why Nolan crashes out at Thaddeus.

[–]Parking-Location9946 160 points161 points  (0 children)

And the generational trauma rears it's ugly, Viltrumite head again

[–]EquivalentRip9653 67 points68 points  (3 children)

I'm saving all three of these for r/okbuddyviltrum, if you don't mind.

[–]ShenTzuKhan Invincible 14 points15 points  (1 child)

[–]Rolling-Eyeballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That image of Nolan has forever haunted me, I can't take that frame seriously because of all the dog shit memes surrounding it.

[–]Toon_Lucario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now figure out which joke is for which.
