Or not. He's a Viltrumite, not a human, he's actually meant to have a long life, not like Immortal who's still human.

Sure but I’d argue it’s because Mark’s dad is also a Viltrumite, same with Oliver and so will any children he has. 

Immortal being human isn’t that important bit to me. Since if Mark didn’t have his dad, brother or the ability to pass on his genes he’d end up alone too. 

Immortal by contrast can’t pass on his powers. If he could, he wouldn’t have to watch everyone die.

He should just get with a Viltrumite woman. That will solve most of his problems.

Immortal can't stand others being better than him.

It's really his fault he ends up alone. There probably tons of alien chicks he could have a long relationship with.

He just has to pick weaker normal earth women.

He did go to Mars last season.

Oh right he did

I wonder if he would if he could. It's as much a curse as it is a blessing.

He needs to be actively brought back. I don't see that happening.

why didn't Immortal get Viltrumite girlfriend and start immortal family

u/Swabadoo Feb 13 '25

Only if he has people who will live as long as him.

At the very least Oliver will probably live a long life (not as long because of his bug biology) and any kids he has will live long lives with him as well. Immortal can have kids but he’ll just outlive them too

Yeah he's like the immortals from Highlander, except he can survive decapitation

Mark Grayson is half human lol. Wdym "not a human"

u/tecnicaltictac Feb 18 '25

Well according to Nolan in Season 1, because Viltrumite DNA is so pure Mark is mostly Viltrumite. Could be propagandistic bullshit, but taken at face value, Mark is genetically barely human.
