Pure, unfiltered and unstoppable brute force...raw damage and power. with ultimate durability.

I recently been enjoying all the content invincible is getting, and with Omni man being one of the most unique and interesting characters added to mortal Kombat, I'd like to know in The Warframe world, who's our omniman? 

 

this description seems like it describes someone like Atlas or Rhino, but I'm sure among the 54 warframes we have there must be a few more that fit the description.

If we're talking ingame stats: Revenant.

He's so tanky that he's literally unkillable. Remember how Omni-Man took an orbital space laser and walked off with a bloody nose? Revenant can stand in ground zero of a nuclear explosion (Profit-Taker/Exploiter death detonation) and suffer no damage, not even flinch. He has the power to instantly kill any enemy he fights by enthralling them first.

Rhino and atlas are the two big ones that come to mind when I think raw strength and durability. There aren't many others that fit that description. I suppose chroma could fit the bill,  but other than him I can't think of anyone else.

Key omni-man characteristics:

 

Very powerful by the standards of his universe, but not necessarily the most powerful.

Hard to kill.

Part of an evil space empire.

Battle plan is mostly brute force.

Came to realise the goals of his empire were evil, and starts to fight back.

Consequently gets captured.

Get's saved by another guy who goes on to be his best friend.

 

Clem! GRAKATA!

Well... in a vacuum, the way I interpret this question, is that its a bit hard to say... Since Omni-man isn't an archetype, he is a deconstruction of an archetype, thats also an antagonist and supporting character. Power wise he is just "evil" Superman, from an evil space empire (incidentally, you could draw parallels with the Orokin), and he is antagonist to basically Spider-man (the hero, but also a young relatable Earth teen), so with the latter, well Operators are comparable with Mark as far as being young teens and protagonists who also need to grow into their power. So in a weird way... Ballas is Warframes Omni-man. Very powerful figure who is a part of a massive space faring empire who dominate the spaces they rule over, also the "Father" and "Creator" of Warframes (broadly speaking), and then also antagonist to his "children". 

Of course Ballas is powerful in other ways, that are almost the opposite of Omni-man. More indirect and manipulative, though... Omni-man does actually display some of those traits too, just usually for those he has small connections/ties to, the main point though, is Ballas doesn't fly fist first into buildings or planets. Which I assume the question is more poised to ask. Its asking more about power sets. Which again, tricky, because of Omni-man being a deconstruction of a character that developed and evolved to be as powerful as many situations dictate, in ways only really fiction can contain. Where as in Warframe, variety and diversity are often required for marketing/playability purposes and reasons. 

So there aren't any real similar characters. Though... if you combined a bunch of Warframes together, you could get something pretty close. If you take Titania's flight and speed, add Gauss, Volt, so now this hybrid isn't so much flying but zooming with sharp angles, you add Rhino, Atlas, strength, durability, coupled with say Wisps augments/buffs, a few characters have various beam style attacks, they could redirect through the eyes, but you just kep stacking strength, durability, and speed and force abilities and stats (like Baruuk can punch pretty hard, add that), and you'd get something pretty similar. Though we couldn't play as that Warframe. 

Also, could you imagine how silly powerful a fictional character that had all Warframe abilities would be? Especially since they keep adding them? Especially if the abilities interactions with each other could synergise, buff and amplify each other, which in turn would create a feedback loop of ever increasing power stacking indefinitely growing an exponential rate? They'd probably turn into "Prime Warframe" be fully gold, and decide to leave the galaxy to go explore the Universe aka Amazo, Manhattan, etc

don't all of these also apply to our Operator/Drifter on some level?

- we are very powerful within our universe, to the point where the Orokin feared us, but we are not necessarily the most powerful, especially with Man in The Wall around.

- we're very hard to kill.

- we (were) created by and fought for the Orokin, which has been known to enjoy oppressing communities across the system (Grendel's Leverian, Inaros' lore etc.)

- our battle plans are mostly brute force and violence to make things dead, but using the Void.

- Lotus likely made us see the "evil" side of the Orokin when she brainwashed us, and we fought back against them, ultimately destroying the empire.

- not really captured but we did get thrown into cryosleep for untold Centuries/Millenia after destroying the Empire: we also got captured in New War before Ballas yeets us into a portal.

- Ordis waited for the aformentioned centuries/milennia for us to wake up and bring the Liset around, went on to become our closest companion.

Perhaps a hot take but Baruuk kind of fits the bill (if you ignore the fact Baruuk is decidedly NOT evil).

He's basically impervious to damage until he finally snaps and just absolutely obliterates everyone.

He isn't a particularly big or imposing frame though.
