Parks and Recreationstar Nick Offerman suits up as a bloody Omni-Man in an amusing new piece ofInvinciblefan art from BossLogic. Well known for his role as the incredibly popular character Ron Swanson, Offerman’sParks and Recmustache makes his transition into Omni-Man that much easier. Swanson’s attitude, with his trademark scowl, also helps give him that dark Omni-Man vibe. You can look at the artwork below.
This isn’t the only recent fan art fromBossLogicto imagine a live-action version ofOmni-Man.Man of Steelstar Henry Cavill is the supervillain in another image as a way for the artist to poke fun at the actor’s digitally-removedJustice Leaguemustache.Titansstar Ryan Potter is also featured in separate fan art as Mark Grayson, aka Invincible.
In the popular animated series, Omni-Man is voiced by J.K. Simmons. Although the dastardly character is initially introduced as a superhero, it’s not long before his true nature is revealed. He is also the father ofMark Grayson(Steven Yeun), a teenager who has just become a superhero after discovering his budding superpowers. The show is based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, which ended its run in 2018 after 15 years.
“This is the perfect climate forInvincibleto exist because it’s reliant on people knowing the ins and outs of the tropes of superhero storytelling so we can subvert them,” Kirkman recently told IndieWire. “Invincibleis very much a story that presents itself as one thing and then slowly reveals itself to be something else. The thing that it presents itself as is a traditional superhero story and then it reveals itself to be something very different, more complex, scary, and dramatic. Because everybody is aware of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Extended Universe, you can sit down and watchInvincibleand be pleasantly surprised that it offers something different.”
Along with Simmons and Yeun, the voice cast ofInvincibleincludes Sandra Oh, Zachary Quinto, Gillian Jacobs, Jason Mantzoukas, Malese Jow, Grey Griffin, Khary Payton, Lauren Cohan, Lennie James, Ross Marquand, Michael Cudlitz, Walton Goggins, and Seth Rogen.
Along with his role as Ron Swanson onParks and Rec, Offerman is also known for his acclaimed role as Richard Mcdonald, one of the brothers who founded McDonald’s, in the movieThe Founder. The actor also earned a Critics' Choice Television Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the FX seriesFargo. More recently, he has hosted the NBC reality competition seriesMaking Italongside hisParks and Recco-star Amy Poehler.
The first season ofInvincibleis currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Recently, Amazon renewed the show for another two seasons as well, so there’s plenty more ofInvincibleto come. Additionally, a live-action movie adaptation has also been reported to be in the works with Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen attached. It would seem that the success of the animated series might speed up production on the live-action adaptation. The artwork ofNick Offermanas Omni-Man comes to us fromBossLogic on Instagram.
