Wow good catch! I have a theory (bear with me): perhaps Viltrumite-hybird offspring with the same parent species and gender don't necessarily have to have the same skin color? I am aware that yes both Oliver and Thragg's kids have a Viltrumite dad and Thraxan mother, but just as in mixed Humans perhaps skin tone isn't defined so concrete-ly.

If you still don't know what I mean, I'll give a personal example: I have two friends who are brothers, one was born a year after the other. Both of their parents are African-American, yet one has more darker skin, and the other has more lighter skin. Their parents are actually their parents, though. So I think just like that example, Oliver and Thragg's kids could have different skin colors.

There are, of course, other possibilites. It could be an inconsistency that the writers and artists did not think about, or maybe more time did pass. There are different times in Invincible when he is away for weeks, at one point six months (I think #109-ish), and as you said about a year during the Viltrumite War. So that could be it because we are not factoring in all that time.

Seriously though that was a great observation. We can discuss it further if you'd like, although I may not answer right away today bc it's my birthday.
