In this video I ask, who is Animations WORST dad? I look at several characters from animated TV shows, like Randy Marsh from South Park, Peter Griffin from Family Guy, Stan Smith from American Dad. - Lydia Loves Timelines

If the show follows the comics, Omni-Man is the unmatched choice. The show also might make him even worse, which would be a feat.

I havent' read them or even seen the show and even I knew how much of an ass this guy is.

Comic spoilers

[Spoiler (click to open)]he actually redeems himself in the comics

[Spoiler (click to open)]I mean he doesn't end as a "bad guy" but he's still an objectively terrible father

[Spoiler (click to open)]I actually haven’t finished the comics myself, though I know what happens to him in the end, how was he still a bad father?

i think if you haven't finished the comics then it's just an opinion thing, but omni-man [Spoiler (click to open)]is completely incapable of emotional connection, continues to physically abuse mark even after they "reconcile", makes the terrible choice to have ANOTHER son he knows he can't protect and forces Mark into caring for him, etc. etc. like he's just terrible and selfish and beyond all that he basically role-reverses with Mark for the whole thing. it's good for a character arc but yeah.

in the show they portray him as more intentionally sadistic though, so that's more what i meant by the have the ability (and seem to be leaning into) making him worse.
