A Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer has found Omni-Man's Fatality inputs in the game's files, and they hint at two iconic scenes from the show being recreated for his finishers.
Even though NetherRealm hasn't shown us anything concrete about Mortal Kombat 1's version of Omni-Man just yet aside from the CG render used in the Kombat Pack 1 reveal trailer, dataminers have given us a pretty good idea of what he'll bring to the table. Not only have they discovered most of his pre-match quotes with other fighters, but they've also found evidence that several memes from the show are going to be recreated, like the infamous "Think, Mark!" scene.

Unsurprisingly, it looks like Omni-Man's inclusion in Mortal Kombat 1 is going to have a few more treats for fans of the show and the comic, as the latest datamine for the game has given us some pretty strong hints as to what the character's Fatalities are going to be. So far, we seemingly only have the names and inputs, but it's not too hard to guess what the Fatalities are going to end up being based on those.
As reported by Redditor legend-z1, the first of Omni-Man's Fatalities is called "Trained Killer", which is no doubt a reference to the scene in the show where Nolan knocks Mark into a subway station and then holds him in front of a train to show how weak humans are in comparison to Viltrumites. Of course, the Mortal Kombat 1 version will likely obliterate whoever Omni-Man is fighting at the time, too. Bonus points if it takes place on the Mortal Kombat 9 subway station map.
There's a chance that "Trained Killer" is just a reference to Omni-Man's upbringing as a Viltrumite and his incredible penchant for killing, but the train scene seems like an obvious pick for his Fatality and something that fans have been wanting since his announcement, so it makes sense for it to be included.
The second Fatality is reportedly named "Like Putty", which is a little more vague than the first and could reasonably refer to a few different scenes from either the Amazon show or the comic. There's one in particular that sounds like it could fit the bill, however - Omni-Man's murder of the Guardians of the Globe.
In that scene, Omni-Man kills Red Rush by brutally squeezing his head until it explodes in his hands, which is one of the show's most memorable moments. Nolan picking up a character by their head and squishing their head certainly sounds like it would fit the bill for a Fatality named "Like Putty", so it's the one that most fans seem to agree could be the inspiration for his second Fatality.
