shouldnt mark after episode 1 look less like a human of asian descent like his mother is and more like whatever you’d call nolans viltrumite phenotype?

    so mark looks more like his mom because she’s “close enough” to not be overwritten, where as a viltrumite born of allen the aliens species would end up just looking like their viltrumite parent

      Basically. In the comics, you see a example very soon of this (which I almost said, but rewrote it). Viltrumites are like Asari from Mass Effect, in no matter what, the species they breed with always comes out a Viltrumite, but unlike the Asari when they take DNA just had a tiny bit of variety to their DNA that never shows up, the other race for a Viltrumite hybrid does show up, like through skin pigmentation or alien biology. But, Viltrumite biology gets stronger as you they age, so eventually, those other unique factors just slowly vanish, until you look like you were always a pure Viltrumite.

        !Aren’t the Thraxa/Viltrumite hybrids way weaker than Mark or other full blooded Viltrumites? They’re pretty much cannon fodder at the end!<

      !I mean Oliver is purple, and grows closer to Nolan’s skin tone, and by the end of the series Mark is looking pretty Viltrum by the end of the comics. I think the other parents DNA is just like, a template for the Viltrumite DNA to exist on.!<
