I too was oddly surprised that the King of the Viltrumites was Freddie Mercury.
But then it made complete sense.
(I'm amazed Mark never said: "How can you be sure your enemy doesn't change like my father changed? Am I destined to conquer the universe, Allen? How can you pass judgment on unborn hybrid children?" Y'know, and THEN started the smackdown as Allen pondered over this)
I think part of that is down to page count, and part of it down to Kirkman not wanting to repeat a conversation he'd written in the previous issue and get "to the good stuff."
Plus, it may genuinely not have occurred to him. Nolan didn't see himself as special, as any different from the other viltrumites, but Mark almost certainly does as he's his father.
