Today we're highlighting key moments from "Invincible"
season two, part one to get you ready
for the return of part two.
The first half of season two has been
a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
We've seen new characters, fresh challenges
for our season one favorites, journeys across space,
and the introduction of different dimensions.
We're only four episodes into season two,
but get comfortable because we've got a lot to unpack.
Let's start by diving into some key moments
from episode one, "A Lesson for Your Next Life"
Season two, episode one introduces us
to the existence of different dimensions.
In the universe that opens the episode,
Invincible teams up with his father, Omni-Man,
to prepare Earth for a Viltrumite takeover.
This alternate timeline also introduces
a new character named Angstrom Levy.
Angstrom is a member of the resistance against Omni-Man
and Invincible in this universe.
Before Invincible and Omni-Man kill him
alongside other resistance members like Robot,
or paralyzes like Atom Eve,
he pulls himself into a portal from another universe.
When the episode finally returns to the main universe,
in which Invincible rejects his father's invitation
to join the Viltrum empire,
we find that Cecil has resurrected Immortal
and made him leader of the Guardians of the Globe.
This is as a result of Rudy, aka Robot,
not being an effective leader.
Another new superhero named Bulletproof
introduces himself while wearing one of the first suits
that Invincible tried on in season one.
Meanwhile in the main universe,
Mark and his mother Debbie
deal with the aftermath of Nolan's betrayal.
The Mauler Twins escape from prison yet again,
but this time with the help of Angstrom.
He then enlists the twins' help
in building a memory transfer device
that will enable him to share memories
with different versions of himself across other realities.
Cecil sends Invincible to confront the Mauler Twins
which leads to a catastrophic explosion
that leaves one of the surviving twins severely injured
and Angstrom mutated.
Both vow to get their revenge against Invincible.
"In About Six Hours, I Lose My Virginity to a Fish'.
In Episode Two, Mark defeats Doc Seismic again
and then attains his high school graduation right after.
Mark continues carrying out his duties as Invincible
with the motivation to prove he is nothing like his dad.
Rex Splode discovers Immortal and Dupli-Kate are dating.
Invincible encounters and defeats the new Darkwing.
Debbie confronts Cecil,
accusing him of taking advantage of Mark's eagerness
to prove he is nothing like his father.
While there, she sees Donald Ferguson,
who died in season one but is somehow alive
and seemingly unaware that anything ever happened to him.
Atom Eve argues with her father,
who believes she is irresponsibly using her powers
after she fixed an apartment building
and built a new playground in Chicago.
Cecil sends Invincible to Atlantis
to appease the Atlanteans who are still upset
about what happened to their king Aquarus,
one of the slain members
of the original Guardians of the Globe.
Invincible is forced into a trial by combat.
He battles a kaiju called the Depth Dweller
and saves the Atlanteans after it turns its attention
on them and starts attacking them.
The stowaway Martian from season one, episode four
is reintroduced as a new member of the Guardians
who goes by Shapesmith.
The Lizard League gets a new leader
after King Lizard murders the Supreme Lizard.
And now, in an alternate universe, the now mutated
and vengeful Angstrom confronts another captive,
evil Invincible.
Angstrom asks this Invincible questions
to learn how to defeat him.
He plans on using that knowledge with the intent
to defeat the Invincible in the main universe.
"This Missive, This Machination!"
In Episode Three, we are back in the main universe.
Mark starts college,
and he and Amber take their relationship to another level.
While they're busy, we catch up with Allen the Alien
who finally returns to the Coalition of Planets
to share what he learned from Invincible.
We also get Allen's backstory,
which includes details about the attack on his homeworld,
Unopa, by the Viltrumites and, as a result,
his species joining the Coalition
to help stop the Viltrum Empire.
Allen, bred to be the strongest of his species,
evaluated other planets for beings powerful enough
to challenge the Viltrumites.
The coalition leader, Thaedus,
tasks Allen with finding the mole he believes
is hiding within the Coalition.
The Coalition believes
that there is a mole within their ranks,
but then shortly after in an unrelated incident,
Allen is attacked by three Viltrumites,
leaving him nearly dead.
What remains of Allen's body is placed
in a recovery machine, which Thadeus sabotages
for unknown reasons.
Back on earth, Debbie finally attends a meeting
for individuals dealing with losing their superhero spouses.
A shapeshifting Thraxan, an insect-like species,
tells Mark his people are in danger,
and Mark travels to Thraxa, against Cecil's orders
and once on Thraxa, he is unexpectedly reunited
with his father, now a ruler of the Thraxans.
"It's Been A While'.
Episode Four explores what Nolan, aka Omni-Man,
has been up to since leaving Earth.
While soul-searching and flying aimlessly around the cosmos,
Omni-Man saves a spacecraft from getting sucked
into a black hole.
He returns the spacecraft passengers to their world, Thraxa,
and they grant him sanctuary
and anoint him as their new ruler
because he is the oldest
and Thraxans only live for nine months.
Back in the present, Nolan reveals to a shocked
and angered Mark that he sent for him
because he needs his help protecting the Thraxans
against the Viltrumites.
After Nolan convinces Mark to stay,
he drops another whopper of a reveal on him
by introducing Mark to his new Thraxan wife and son.
Back on Earth, Debbie is deeply depressed due
to her grief about everything that went down with Omni-Man,
but later finds resolves through a heart-to-heart with Art.
Donald discovers a small crater left by the house
that exploded in season one, episode seven
right after Omni-Man killed him and the GDA soldiers.
He later finds out he did die,
or at least the original version of him did.
We see that Atom Eve lives no longer in her treehouse
but in the old Teen Team headquarters.
Mark ultimately agrees to help his father defend Thraxa
just as three Viltrum warriors arrive.
Invincible and Omni-Man take on the Viltrum warriors,
but eventually are defeated by one named Lucan.
After suffering severe injuries,
they take Omni-Man captive,
and a Viltrumite named General Kregg assigns Invincible
an impossible task: to prepare Earth for a takeover
by the Viltrum Empire.
Episode four ends with the lone Mauler Twin cloning himself
and then the new clone kills him.
And there you have it,
everything you need to know
about the first half of season two.
You can catch those first four episodes on Prime Video
for a complete refresher before the second half
of "Invincible" season two returns on March 14th.
