“What Have I Done?”
This episode begins with a flashback of Mark/Invincible walking in a deserted area desperately wiping away blood from his body. Left behind are half destroyed bodies. The bodies are composed of human and robotic elements. One, Dr. Angstrom Levy (Sterling K. Brown), disappears through a dimensional portal, while a decomposing body lies on the ground with The Technicians looking on. WOW! This looks like a battle nobody won. The Technicians rebuild him. Looks like The Invincible War has Begun!
Day ONE Army of Invincibles Invade Earth
Months later, multiple portals open on Earth and an Army of different Invincibles (Superhuman-SH Invincibles) and spy orbs like the ones found at Mark Grayson’s house arrive. They descend and destroy everything, as Dr. Angstrom Levy commands.

They hug outside her apartment building, and she invites him up to her new place. Before they can go up, there’s an explosion a few blocks away. Rex suits up. Rae does, too, and he asks her not to, it’s her first day not superheroing. He tells her she can’t un-quit on her first day. Rex happily takes off telling her he’ll be right back. Invincible arrives at Peyton Penitentiary and meets an Invincible version of himself with a mohawk. He yells for Mark to leave and help cover the whole planet. The SHInvincible realizes Mark is the original Earth Invincible. Mark asks how he got there and they start fighting and Mark finds SHInvincible is stronger than him.

Mark’s knocked out by King Thor.

A Viltrimite, Conquest, appears! Mark’s aching to Hit Something. They Fight!
This episode was INTENSE like Season 1! It was filled with action, destruction, lots of superheroes, dimensional transporting, more moral dilemmas and emotions, and injuries and losses of Mark’s loved ones. Angstrom and the destruction he brought is TERRIFYING! The return of Dr. Angstrom Levy was AWESOME! Great seeing Brit and Ka Hor and more superheroes. Billie Eilish’s song was a Wonderful Surprise! What Happens Next in the Season Finale? Will there be a Rex Splode Memorial Service or Return, and will DarkWing and Omni-Man and Allen the Alien return?
