Half a year later, Mark was summoned to help his brother, after learning that Nolan and Andressa have a son, Mark feels increasingly bitter towards Nolan and even expresses great disbelief upon reacting to his younger sibling, claiming that Nolan replaced him. Although Oliver appears to be a few years old, due to Thraxan DNA, they develop more rapidly than humans do, living their whole lives a few months on Earth, and when mixed with Viltrumite DNA, this will let his the boy live to thousands of years old.

- Decelerated Aging: Unlike many species, Thraxans age quicker, and live up to around almost a whole year. However, Oliver's case is different. As Viltrumite DNA tends to be the more dominant in offspring, he will live for thousands of years. However, his growth is still possibly faster than that of a Viltrumite.
