Disregarding the [[RuleOfCool idea of Ginormica meeting Christopher]], consider that no one seems to be as alarmed by Gallaxhar as they normally would be in a first contact scenario: this is because they already know about aliens! The ones that landed in Johannsburg a few decades ago. Then more of them showed up, took their people away, and left. (After branding Earth as an [[CrapsackWorld intergalactic]] [[HumansAreBastards hellhole]], of course.) So they were hoping to find actually human-ish looking benevolent aliens; also why they tried conventional weapons. They worked pretty well against the prawns, right?

[[WMG: WesternAnimation/MegaMind was from the same planet as Gallaxhar]]
I just saw the trailer of Megamind in front of "Despicable Me" and Megamind just looks like an expy of Gallaxhar on the surface, right? But what if part of Gallaxhar's backstory was that he was either adopted or a lovechild between a member of Megamind's species and another species?

Quantonium is supposed to be the most powerful element in the Universe, Right? So it seems likely that it can do more than just make someone fifty feet tall. Susan has all sorts of awesome powers she deosn't even know about yet.

[[WMG: It is in the same universe with {{American Dad}}]]

One of the most obvious reasons: look at Coverton and ''don't'' say he doesn't look like Roger.

Also, Coverlord is not the leader of his people; he's just the colonization commander to the real leader [[spoiler: Emperor Zing]], and Coverton just really admires him. However, Coverlord is also one of the saner people on Roger's planet, and his troops might be even incompetent, thus [[spoiler: Emperor Zing]] offs him. Simultaneously, President Hathaway is no longer president, and, since he's the only reason Coverton is still on Earth, Coverton is captured and dissected. Since [[spoiler: Emperor Zing]] is a [[spoiler: sex-obsessed dick]], he doesn't care about Coverton at all.

[[WMG: In the TV series, Coverton is not the only alien invader.]]

In case of Sta'abi, this is pretty obvious, given that she is an expy of Klingon. Her species probably purposefully sent the Vornicarn "egg" to Earth. Also, she has the word "stab" in her name.

In case of Sqweep, well... he was going to make an essay on Earth's dominant species, right? He actually thought that the dominant species were squirrels, even though there is a lot of human-made structures near. His species, who obviously hail from a {{Mary Suetopia}}, were aiming for the weakest sentient species possible. It was close enough.

Basically, they are all in an {{Anti-Human Alliance}}, and they want humans as slaves and cattle.

They * do* look somewhat similar. Penny changed her name to avoid all the publicity, maybe got minor plastic surgery. Her mother was divorced from her dad, died early, and Penny had to move in with her remarried dad. Eventually Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino died, and Penny/Susan grew up and moved out.

Seriously, Coverton doesn't take any effort to preserve is... well, cover. How long it takes before someone understands that there's something wrong with that guy?! Susan, Monger and the others pretend to not have realized yet, so to keep Coverton stucked on Earth, in a secret base, where they can keep an eye on him and acquire vital informations on the invaders' plans.

[[WMG: The Missing Link's species lays eggs.]]
Hey, they are FishPeople. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume something like that. Possibly the fish-apes would form some kind of family groups with a single male in charge (like gorillas) that would migrate to some nice lagoons where the females would lay a bunch of eggs in the water (like salmon swimming upstream during mating season). You have to admit, it isn't the craziest theory ever considered.

Much like Tallests Red and Purple, the Grand Coverlord keeps taking his calls to keep up the illusion and make sure he doesn't return home. They also accepted his request to have Sta'abi assigned there because it also kept her out of the way.

It somehow gained (enough) intelligence and becomes nicer than his "parent". Being created by the government still makes him a monster rather than an alien like in the original film.

* The weird thing is that this explanation makes MORE sense than the one given in the film. If he really is the missing evolutionary link between humanity and sea creatures, his body and brain shouldn’t be at the point where he can fully grasp the English language, let alone pronounce all of the sounds in it. He would simply be too far behind the point where humanity’s ancestors evolved for those capabilities.
