This didn’t make sense to me.

Did Allen not realize Nolan was a viltrumite? Nolan implied that he threw Allen back into space last time. Allen wasn’t suspicious about how he got whooped? It’s unlikely that he knew, and flagged it, bc why would he come back for a routine review?

And even if Allen did realize it and flagged it, it wouldn’t make sense for him to screw up Urath and Earth, given that he remembered Nolan (“you shaved your mustache!”)

    Why would he be suspicious? the whole point was to find people that could do that to him

    And at least in show continuity he was always in his Omni-man uniform when they fought.

      Yeah but the show even implied that Allen could best most everybody except a viltrumite. So when he met a rare guy who could beat him (moving and fighting like a viltrumite most likely) how could he not think twice?

        Because that’s what he wanted, people don’t often think twice about getting what they want. And urath was considered viltrumite free

        I don’t think viltrumites have a special fighting style

        Also he’s face blind when it comes to biclops.

        He thought mark was omniman with a shaved mustache.

    I think its similar to how no one at high school notices that Eve is a superhero - if you’re not looking for it, it’s easy to miss. For Allen, he’s doing a tour of planets that are outside the bounds of the known (to them) Viltrum empire. He goes to earth, sees no Viltrum technology/architecture or signs of a hostile occupation and is greeted by a single guy who fights him in space, he’s probably just happy that he doesn’t have to break atmosphere to do his eval because he’s got other planets to get to.
