7 Reasons Why The 'Thicc Omni-Man' Meme Is Still Dominating The Internet (And What It Means For Invincible Season 3)
The internet has a peculiar way of immortalizing pop culture moments, and few characters have been given a more unexpected digital makeover than Omni-Man (Nolan Grayson) from the Amazon Prime Video series, Invincible. As of late December 2025, the infamous "Thicc Omni-Man" meme continues to trend across social media platforms, proving that the villainous Viltrumite's surprising posterior has a staying power that rivals his superhuman strength. This fan-made phenomenon, which exploded in popularity following the first season, has been reignited by the anticipation for Invincible Season 3, set to premiere in early 2025, forcing fans to "Think, Mark" about the true meaning of a superhero's physique.
The meme's enduring success is a perfect storm of viral content: a dramatic source image, an absurd fan edit, and a catchy soundtrack. It’s a testament to the community's engagement with the world created by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, transforming one of the most terrifying characters in modern comics into a source of pure, unadulterated comedy. Whether you call it "Dummy Thicc Omni-Man," "Caked Up Omniman," or simply "OmniHicc," this parody has cemented its place in meme history.

The Anatomy of a Viral Sensation: Tracing the 'OmniHicc' Origin Story
The meme did not spontaneously generate; it was a deliberate, humorous artistic choice that piggybacked on the massive success of the Invincible animated series. Its origin is surprisingly well-documented and tied to a specific cultural moment.
The Birth of the "Caked Up" Viltrumite
The original "Thicc Omni-Man" image is a piece of fan art, not an official still from the Amazon series. It first appeared online on May 9th, 2021, posted by the Twitter user ClinicPanic. The image depicts Omni-Man in a highly exaggerated, squatting pose, with his legs spread apart, drawing attention to an impossibly large posterior. The initial caption, "Thanks for the cake @invincibleHQ," immediately set the tone for the parody.
This pose is a clear and humorous mimicry of the famous, and often controversial, album cover pose by rapper Nicki Minaj. By applying this pose to a hyper-masculine, serious character like the Viltrumite warrior Nolan Grayson, the meme achieves peak comedic absurdity, playing on the contrast between the character's stoic demeanor and the exaggerated sexuality of the pose.
The 'Think, Mark' Meme and the Hot Milk Soundtrack
The "Thicc Omni-Man" image rarely stands alone. It quickly became intertwined with two other major viral elements:
- The "Think, Mark" Meme: This is a reference to the climactic scene in Invincible Season 1 where Omni-Man brutally lectures his son, Mark Grayson (Invincible), about the fate of the planet. The serious, dramatic nature of this scene makes the sudden insertion of the "Thicc" image even funnier.
- "Hot Milk" by Snail's House: Many video variations of the meme use the 2016 Futurebass song "Hot Milk" by the Japanese artist Snail's House. The "Thicc" image often appears as a jump-scare or a punchline precisely when the song's beat drops, creating a perfect, rhythmic comedic reveal.
7 Reasons Why the Thicc Omni-Man Meme Endures in 2025
Despite being a few years old, the meme's popularity has not waned. Its continued relevance in 2025 is a result of several factors, most notably the renewed interest in the source material.
1. The Anticipation for Invincible Season 3 (February 2025)
The most significant factor for its current relevance is the upcoming release of Invincible Season 3 on Amazon Prime Video, scheduled for February 6, 2025. Every promotional trailer, poster, or CCXP presentation featuring Nolan Grayson re-engages the fanbase, naturally leading to a resurgence of the character's most viral parody.
2. The Power of Absurd Contrast
The humor is derived from the extreme contrast between the character's brutal, serious nature and the sexually charged, ridiculous pose. Omni-Man is a planet-conquering alien, and the meme reduces him to a "Dummy Thicc" internet joke, which is a comedic goldmine.
3. Cross-Media Virality
The meme has successfully jumped from Twitter to TikTok, Reddit, YouTube compilations, and even into fan-made 3D models and miniatures. This widespread adoption across different platforms ensures its longevity and continuous discovery by new audiences.
4. The "Hot Milk" Beat Drop
The association with Snail's House's "Hot Milk" provides a perfect, easily recognizable audio cue for the visual punchline. This makes the meme incredibly effective in short-form video content like TikToks and YouTube Shorts.
5. The Universal Superhero Trope Parody
The meme parodies the common trope of hyper-muscular, impossibly proportioned superhero designs found in comics and animation. It’s a playful jab at the visual standard for characters like Superman and other powerful figures.
6. Association with the "Think, Mark" Scene
The meme is a lighthearted counterpoint to one of the most emotionally devastating scenes in the series. By injecting humor into the tragic moment, fans process the show's darkness through comedy, making the meme a form of collective coping mechanism.
7. The Simplicity of the Fan Art
The original artwork is simple, bold, and instantly recognizable. This simplicity makes it easy to remix, redraw, and insert into other meme templates, ensuring its continued evolution and adaptability in the fast-paced world of internet humor.
The Legacy of Viltrumite Cake
The "Thicc Omni-Man" meme is more than just a fleeting internet joke; it's a cultural artifact that demonstrates the power of the fandom to reshape and reinterpret its source material. It has created new LSI keywords like "Omni ass" and "Omnihicc" and has become an inseparable part of the *Invincible* community's identity. As Nolan Grayson prepares for his return in Season 3, the meme serves as a constant, hilarious reminder that even the most terrifying Viltrumite can be reduced to a source of viral absurdity. The Viltrumite Empire may strive for perfection, but the internet prefers its heroes—and villains—to be perfectly ridiculous.
