    Consider what we know so far. Mark got Viltrumite powers. And Mark’s brother looks very much like a Human/Viltrumite.

    If it weren’t for the skincolor Mark’s brother would look just like a younger Mark.

    And we know that Mark got Viltrumite powers because of that same DNA.

      I thought the reason nolan had a human kid was the humans were compatible, does that mean all aliens are?

        extremely minor comic spoilers: I haven’t read the comics but from what I’ve read online, >!Viltrumite DNA breeds true and will overtake other species DNA as they get older. So they’re compatible with most things but the offspring will always be more viltrumite than anything else!<

          Something quite similar is said in season 1 (so I don’t think I ened to spoiler tag it), that Viltrumite DNA is so pure Mark is basically a full Viltrumite. I noticed this season has more talk about “half-breeds” so maybe there is a sliding scale of being a Viltrumite?

      It’s probably possible for him to get Viltrumite powers, but we also know from S1 that even Mark wasn’t guaranteed to inherit them, so it probably isn’t guaranteed.

      I think it would fit into the whole nazi analogue if the specifics of what species you breed with has literally no baring on the likelihood of getting powers though - eugenics is all about creating ethnic group scapegoats, not actually making the gene-pool any stronger.
