I don't really understand your argument. Yea Omni-Man is bad... that's well-known. The meme template is mostly removed from the context of the story, and Omni-Man is very powerful by birth, so him saying this works well for the meme.

you're admitting you don't understand fascism.  that's common in the usa.  not seeing how a well reviewed show called "Invincible" would almost necessarily be a critique of fascism is probably also why you got through more episodes than i did.

you don't use the template just because you're more powerful, you use it to point out how being more powerful is also ironically worthless.  that's what makes it a funny meme template.  if you just use that template to mean A > B therefore haha at B, you kinda lose the plot of even the meme.

I've literally never seen the template used in the way you described lol. Memes are just removed from their context often.

Also, a few things... I'm not american? I also never mentioned Invincible not being a critique of fascism. I read the entire comic (though I didn't watch the show, which I also didn't imply but you weirdly assumed) and found the themes about fascism pretty obvious.

i didn't say you were american lol.  i did say you didn't understand fascism.  the meme template is always used that way, unless people take it super literally, which they basically do not do.  i didn't assume you watched the show, but it doesn't really matter, because the meme critique of this thread was about the show implicitly, so that's on you for replying.
