I haven’t dug much into the comics, but just based off the show; does anybody think Bulletproof is a genetically modified human, with viltrumite genes? The thought behind this is that he’s wearing the suit Mark tried on first, and seems to display Invincibles powers, as well being secretive about his abilities. I also think Bulletproof is a little on the nose, filler for invincible so to speak. Cecil would also want insurance against Mark, as we see him collecting different tools to fight Invincible if he turns out like Omni-man. Interested in your thoughts, thanks everybody!
Normally with what you’re talking about, you’d get someone like Superboy/Conner Kent who is straight up an identical clone of Superman.
BP here looks nothing like Mark or Omni-Man, the only two Viltrumites who were on Earth. There’s also the “Viltrumite DNA being so pure” that it would dominate human genetics to make them look Viltrumite. So a “Conner Kent” situation would be expected if what you say is true.
I get what your saying about it making him look like a viltrumite, but my thought was that he isn’t at all near perfect; the earth scientist failed to make or replicate the viltrumite genes, but given they had some, maybe they’re making they’re own genes to try and replicate a viltrumite like character. Perhaps the costume is a plot device revealing that.
