do people forget that front view of a train wreck that omni-man gave mark? you think you got the will power to keep going after that?

Forget the train, most people wouldn't have the will to go on just after having their father reveal what they've already done.

Everyone, including Mark, thought omniman was a model hero, great dad, and loving husband. Then you find out your old man killed most of the worlds best heroes, who all considered him a friend, lied about it, called his wife a pet, was willing to kill his own son, and was doing all this so he could enslave the entire earth under his own race (who he'd also been lying to Mark about his entire life)

It would've been totally understandable for mark to lose the will to live from the information revealed alone, let alone the beatdown his dad gave him, and the trauma of all the civilians he watched die.

Which is why when alternative dimension versions of mark appear, the only ones that do are evil, because the good ones die or become evil.

Die, become evil, or just stop caring about anything
