- Low-quality character design (weight 0.52): Character is seen as a Superman rip-off or garbage, with the worst gameplay and combo design. Women's skins are also considered horrible.
- Omni-Man lacks content (weight 0.44): Omni-Man has no alternate skins, only recolors, and is missing expected taunts like the 'thicc post' taunt. Compared to other characters, his moveset, gear, and palette variety are lacking.
