The three-episode season 3 premiere of Invincible was better than the entire second season. There was a ton of character development, the story stayed true to the source material, and Mark (Invincible) returned stronger, faster, and tougher than ever. However, everything wasn’t sunshine and rainbows.
Mark was betrayed by Cecil. Not only did Cecil employ two murderers (D.A. Sinclair and Darkwing 2) but he almost killed Mark with an implant in his brain. After the situation was taken care of, Mark grabbed Cecil by the throat and threatened to kill him if he came near his family.
Things got worse when Oliver killed the Mauler Twins because he felt that they didn’t deserve to live. As Debbie and Mark explain to Oliver why what he did was wrong, Mark finds out he’s being spied on. He doesn’t know who it is, but viewers see that Angstrom Levy survived Mark’s beatdown. If you’ve read the comic book, you know what’s going on. If you haven’t, I’ll just say that the Invincible War is coming and it’s going to be brutal.
On a lighter note, Amber and Mark are finally dating. Even if you never read the comics, there’s no way you didn’t see this coming. The creative team may alter things from the comics, but this wouldn’t be one of the changes. Amber and Mark’s relationship is a staple of the story because it’s beautiful and realistic. Throughout their relationship, Mark is going to make you love him more, but also break your heart at times.
What to expect from the next episode
Judging by the title, "You Were My Hero", this is likely where Powerplex debuts. If this is like the Invincible comic book, you’ll see one of the consequences of heroes saving lives. Even when someone is protecting the world, people will still get caught in the crossfire. Innocents are crushed by buildings, by thrown cars, and all sorts of debris. People like Cecil Stedman and Amanda Waller would call it acceptable losses. And while it’s true that things like this occur, this episode of Invincible will show what happens when someone wants revenge for losing someone they love.
On top of the possibility of Powerplex, this should be the episode where Mark takes a trip into the future. The Instagram video above shows moments where some of his destiny is revealed. However, seeing the future doesn’t mean everything stays the same especially with the creative team changing things from the comics. And while it may seem like a lot, both storylines are short and don’t need an entire episode dedicated to them.
