Bring Invincible here.

He is the key to turning the tide of this war.

I'm kind of still screwed up

about what happened to Rick.

I didn't even know if Norman was alive.

Now he's left another planet in ruins

and his new kid is sitting in my kitchen.

They possessed the real Rus Livingston,

and they're capable of possessing a million more of us.

A lot of people could get hurt.

Just come back safe.

Read my books, Mark.

Die fast, assholes!

There's too many!

- Get close! - No, no, no, no!

Eve!

Fuck!

Mm.

So brave.

But is it the brave man who survives?

Or is it the one who waits

until his opponent is too injured to fight?

Just do it, you prick.

Guardians!

Protect them!

Come on, Eve. Get up!

Rudy!

Almost done.

Whatever you are planning,

it will fail.

You could have been useful servants.

We will grant you death instead.

There's too many of 'em!

We can't give up!

Oh, no.

Look out below!

I'm not as strong as Eve,

but I can keep them away for a few minutes.

A few minutes is all I need.

It tickles.

What are you gonna do?

Ow, ow, ow. Ow!

Ow! Ow!

Oh.

Shapesmith?

Please hurry!

Rudy?

Done!

Tell them someone has to...

Get this close to Rus and then press the button!

Anyone?

Please hurry! Someone.

- Anyone! - Give it to me!

- I'll do it. - How dare you!

Stop it!

I'm stronger and faster than you, and you know it!

Don't fail.

Cover me.

- Oh, no, no! Don't! - Hold on!

We're almost there!

No, no. No.

- No, no, no, no, no! - Shapesmith?!

I can't

keep them...

Got you!

Yes! Hell yes! We did it!

Did you?

We told you we were too powerful.

They're waking up!

Maybe there's some juice left in this thing?

That's a big maybe.

Invincible!

Now!

You okay?

Yeah.

Just happy to be me again.

Yes, hooray. Ten out of ten.

We need to go now.

Where...

where am I?

We'll explain later.

Oh.

The Guardians are dead.

They're so dead they've made quite the mess

of your precious little missile base.

I'm not sure you'll ever get the floors clean again.

Agree to my demands

and I will consider not destroying

half of the nation.

Fuck

Well,

look at this brave little soldier.

Seems like the loss of your brain

hasn't hurt you as much as one would expect.

- Oh, my. - Huh?

- How sad. - Shut up. Shut up.

- Shut up. - Perhaps you're too stupid to realize this,

- but you're supposed to be dead. - I said

shut up!

Please!

Oh, please!

Plea...

I...

can't believe

you shot me

in the fucking head!

Sir?

Are you all right?

Why would you...

That's a weird question.

I'm fine.

Totally good.

Huh?

Never better?

You know me!

I'm practically...

We need to get this guy to an O.R. now.

Get a stretcher over here!

Jesus.

Ugh. Never gonna eat sushi again.

Uh, uh, the hangar's through there!

Halt!

You saved us from the sequids,

and for that we are grateful.

Yeah, you're welcome. Uh, look, we got to go.

But we cannot permit you to leave with the great betrayer.

Uh, uh...

Me?

This is all your doing.

You must remain here for punishment.

What kind of punishment?

Death.

I understand.

Go, go, go, go! Faster! Faster!

This is as fast as it goes.

Aah! Aah!

Which button fires back?!

I don't know!

I've only been inside one of these once!

When I was a kid!

It was a school trip!

♪ Give us a new beat for my stereo...

Open the airlock.

♪ Baby, you've got the rhythm ♪

♪ Baby, I'm all yours ♪

♪ You got the rhythm ♪

- ♪ And that god you love ♪ - Sorry!

♪ Is not mine, yeah ♪

♪ I'm all yours ♪

♪ You got the rhythm ♪

♪ Got to get me a new drummer, whoo ♪

♪ She was an angel, your mother ♪

♪ Come on, give me a new chord ♪

♪ Give me a new strummer, uh ♪

♪ Baby, you got the rhythm...

That

was amazing!

Uh...

Thanks. Yeah, well,

you know, I...

I trained with the best.

Right?

I...

Good work.

Thanks.

You too.

You okay?

You seem a little... shook.

It was

unpleasant having my mind under sequid control.

And being out of my armor was extremely stressful.

No shit.

That whole thing was insane.

Thankfully,

I was able to control my fear response this time.

I changed myself.

Fixed a problem.

I can do the same for...

Don't.

But it just makes sense to...

I said don't.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

All right.

Let's see if we can do this

without you peeing on me again.

Thank you for the update, Cecil.

I'm glad Mark and the others are safe.

But let's be honest

that's not the only reason you're here.

The GDA has an entire department

dedicated to superhero children.

Right.

Because a top secret government lab

is the perfect place to raise a child.

We paint clouds on the ceiling.

Look, after everything Nolan put you through,

no one expects you to raise his kid.

Let us help.

Mama!

Oh, sweetie.

- Mm. - Your mom is far, far away.

And your dad...

The truth is, Cecil,

this isn't about Nolan or me.

It's about Mark.

This child is Mark's brother.

His only brother.

Which makes him family to me, too.

- Debbie... - And let me remind you

that I raised Mark,

who just saved the world.

Again.

I am more than qualified to do this.

Isn't that right?

- Hmm? - All right.

You win.

But we're here if you need us.

And I expect to be kept in the loop.

Mm. It's nap time.

Welcome back, Captain Livingston.

Can I go home? I just want to go home.

Sequids don't sleep.

They never let me sleep.

I'm gonna need an entire box of Q-tips

to get all that sequid slime out of my ears.

You're lucky you only got some

in your... ears.

Uh-oh.

♪ I've seen you in the world ♪

♪ Seen you in my mind ♪

♪ Would you put it all at ease ♪

♪ Or make me feel uneasy? ♪

♪ 'Cause I feel 25 ♪

♪ And it never was that way ♪

♪ Something changed inside my heart ♪

♪ Now I'm unsure of everything...

Good job, Oliver.

- Oliver? - Mark.

Brah-brah.

Brah-brah.

You named him after Grandpa?

Well, he needed an actual name

besides Nolan's Alien Baby.

That's good. I like it.

Kate Cha was a fearless warrior.

Though her powers

came from a family curse,

she believed they were a gift

to help those around her.

That was Kate's real power.

Her unwavering belief

that this world is good,

even when it killed her

over and over and over again.

Kate never stopped believing that.

And encouraged me to do the same.

Kate Cha was

a kindred soul.

It was a

it was a beautiful service.

I'm glad it didn't rain.

Kate hated the rain.

Why do I

feel this way, Markus?

Because you loved her, man.

I loved many others

before Kate.

All of them died as well.

But this

this is different.

I thought we had more time together.

- How's your mom? - How are classes? Uh...

Sorry, you go.

No, no, you go. Please.

Um, so,

classes are going okay?

I mean, I'm at the point where I just roll out of bed

and go to lectures in my pajamas.

It's very freeing.

Well, how's your new brother?

Is he adjusting?

Is your mom losing her mind yet?

Uh, O-Oliver's doing great, and they really get along,

which is awesome.

My mom's still getting used to

chewing his food for him, though.

Um, she chews his food?

Yeah. It-it turns out Thraxan babies

don't have enzymes to break down solid food.

We're hoping his Viltrumite half will kick in soon.

Oh.

Okay, can I just say

this feels like a first date?

Yeah, a bad first date.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

I really thought college would be different.

Right?

You know, like, late night study sessions,

secret dorm parties,

spending time with my girlfriend.

Instead, we hang out less than we did

before we went to college.

Whenever my friends here ask where you are,

I'm always like, "Oh, Mark's studying for an exam"

or "He went home for the weekend."

I hate lying to them, Mark.

And I have no one to talk to about it. I mean,

sure, there's William,

but he's more your friend than mine.

Yeah, I know.

It's our first year of college,

our first time living on our own,

and it feels like we're missing it.

Yeah, sometimes I wish I never got powers.

Then I could just be with you

and forget about everything else.

But you do have powers.

And that means you have an obligation

to make the world a better place.

And if you didn't feel that way,

we wouldn't be dating to begin with.

So

What do we do now?

Mark, look who's back.

- Whoa, Rick. How are you feeling? - Hi, Mark.

Um, I-I guess

I'm fine.

He's doing great.

Doctors gave him a clean bill of health.

Donald says he can come back to Upstate, right?

I'm here to help facilitate his transition.

If there's anything I can do, just call me.

That is so kind. Thank you.

Come on, Rick, I guilted the college into

giving you a private room in the dorm next door.

I already decorated it.

Wow, Rick looks exactly the same.

It's like nothing happened.

But something did happen.

He went through intensive body reconstruction.

That kind of trauma can

resurface.

Donald, are you okay?

Tell William I'll check in later

- to see how Rick's doing. - Uh, okay.

Bye.

Well, you look

like shit.

And that's coming from a guy that looks like this.

Heard you're getting

a new hand, too.

Yeah. Lucky me.

How's Ray?

Holding in there.

You know, when that bullet went through my head,

I saw my life flash before my eyes.

Yeah, that's always sounded like bullshit to me, too,

but it's not.

And I didn't like what I saw.

I was such a dick to Kate.

To Eve, too.

To every woman I've ever dated.

None of them deserved it.

I don't know why I had to get

my brains blown out to see that.

What is it about being a superhero

where we go around saving lives

while ruining them at the same time?

Aw, Jesus.

- All right, let's hear it. - Hear what?

Eh. The reason your face

looks all... like that.

I don't know. You know, sad and shit.

Uh, Mark.

Oh, hey, Eve.

You here to see Rex?

Yeah. I try to stop in when I can.

Oh, these? Uh, um,

turns out Rex really likes home decorating magazines.

I think it's because he's never really had a home.

Hey, I haven't seen you since Kate's funeral.

Are you okay, Mark?

Yeah. No, um,

I'm fine.

Anyway, I-I got to run, so I'll see you around.

Okay.

Bye.

Eve!

The bearer of spring colors

and waterfall countertops.

You're the only person I know who still reads magazines.

Whoa, ho, ho, ho! I'm cultured like that.

And plus, the Internet sucks.

So, I just

- ran into Mark, and... - Ugh.

I know, right?

He and Amber are...

Wait, what does that mean?

Oh, oh, oh!

Ten best bedroom makeovers?

Yes, please.

So, Helga,

you've been a nanny for 30 years.

Children are my life.

Your résumé's very impressive.

Yes.

But I don't think you're the right fit for us.

- No? - No.

I'm not comfortable hiring a spy.

Spy? I... I don't understand.

I was married to Nolan for 20 years.

I can spot Cecil's people a mile away.

So, thank you. Bye-bye.

That man cannot take a hint.

Hi. I'm April Howsam,

here for the nanny position.

Before we begin, you should know that Cecil sent me.

Now, I wasn't supposed to tell you,

but I think it's unacceptable

to mislead a potential employer.

Especially one looking for someone

to take care of their child.

Please come in.

As you can see, I have extensive experience

working with gifted children

ranging from newborns to late teens.

So, you know that Oliver is...

Half Thraxan, half Viltrumite.

I also know that Nolan Grayson, or Omni-Man, is Oliver's father.

And that your son Mark, also Invincible,

is Oliver's half-brother.

You've been thoroughly briefed, I see.

My philosophy on child rearing is simple.

Encourage a child's natural curiosity for the world...

Here you go, buddy.

While giving him structure

and a safe space to grow and learn.

I also play a mean lullaby

on the ukulele.

I appreciate your honesty, April.

But I don't want a GDA agent in my house

running interference for Cecil on how to raise Oliver.

There's only a handful of people in the world with my skill set.

This allows me job security

and freedom from government oversight.

I work for you, Ms. Grayson,

not Cecil. Period.

You're the boss.

Not him.

Mama boss.

See?

Oliver knows who's in charge.

Mama boss.

Real nice place you made here, Eve.

Cecil?

Reminds me of where I grew up.

I wanted to thank you, personally, for helping out

with the whole sequid business.

And to once again offer you a spot on the Guardians.

- Cecil... - Dupli-Kate's dead.

Rae and Rex are in the hospital, and Immortal is

well, let's be frank... his head is not in the game right now.

So, what do you say? Ready to join the team?

You're old friends with half of 'em anyway.

Cecil

uh... you know, I'm still figuring out

what kind of hero I want to be.

And that's not the kind of person

you need on the Guardians.

But you know how to find me if you need my help again.

And you know where to find me when you change your mind.

Thanks for your time, Eve.

I'll leave you to your guest now.

What guest?

Eve?

You up there?

Amber?

Your place really blends in with the trees.

I walked past it, like, five times.

Can we talk?

I told you it's gonna be another four hours.

You want it done fast or done right?

Hey, Art.

Mark.

Sorry, I-I thought you were someone else.

Just leave your suit

and I'll have it fixed by morning.

I actually came to talk.

But if you're busy, I can...

- What's on your mind? - Well, um...

Ah, I see.

Girl trouble.

That obvious, huh?

It's all over your face, kid.

Pull up a chair.

And I, I love Amber and I want to be with her, but

it-it feels like the universe is conspiring against us.

Ugh. It doesn't matter if you're a superhero or an ordinary Joe.

Relationships aren't easy. I should know.

I've been in plenty of them in my day.

I-I've only dated one guy.

Rex was my first serious boyfriend.

Which is sad and embarrassing to admit out loud.

We all got to start somewhere.

You know, we'd known each other for years,

it just kind of made sense, and,

and it was good for a while.

Until I finally had enough of him cheating on me

every time he left the tower.

It was the lying that hurt more.

He made me feel like I was crazy when I started figuring it out.

That really sucked.

Yeah, the lying was the worst part for me, too.

But I thought after we got over that,

it'd work out.

Mark puts himself on the line for people he doesn't even know,

and that takes real

guts to not care what anyone else thinks, you know?

And Amber always does the right thing.

It's inspiring. She makes me a better person.

A real catch. So what's the problem?

The problem is, I'm...

Invincible.

Whether it's a tsunami

or some psycho with rocket launchers for arms,

when bad things happen,

Mark has to drop everything and go.

Yeah. Everything.

Including you.

I don't care when Mark cancels our date or forgets to text.

I mean, he's saving the world. It's, it's not that.

It's that it makes me feel like a

jerk, because I'm doing exactly to her

what my dad did to me and my mom.

But we never complained

it made us feel like assholes,

we didn't want to distract Dad

from saving the world.

I-I don't want that kind of life for Amber.

She deserves better.

Well, if you guys can't always be together,

then make the times you are together count.

That doesn't work either.

When we're together, I feel guilty.

Like I'm taking him away from people who really need him.

Mark needs someone who

is there for her.

Who really understands

what she's going through in college and

what it's like dating a superhero.

I can't talk to anyone about it.

Not my friends. Not my family.

So now I'm the liar instead of him.

I knew dating Mark would be difficult.

I just didn't know it would be so lonely.

- I feel like I'm failing Amber. - I feel like I'm failing Mark.

You're not saving the world right now.

And Mark's back on Earth.

So I guess the question you have to ask yourself is...

Why are you here talking to me when you should be talking

- to him? - To her?

Go home, Mark.

Go home and be with your girlfriend.

Yeah. Thanks for listening, Art.

Hey, your mom told me what happened

with your dad on Thraxa.

That had to be tough. Seeing him again.

Even after everything he did,

I didn't realize how much I missed him.

I don't know.

Maybe that makes me a bad person or something.

It makes you human.

And then the last thing he told me

before the Viltrumites took him away wasn't

"I love you" or "I'm sorry."

It was, "Read my books."

Why did he say that?

I don't know.

My mom threw out all his stuff when I was away.

I got his travel books from the library,

but nothing popped out.

Nolan wrote more than just travel books.

What?

He wrote sci-fi novels

under a pen name when you were a kid.

None of them sold great, so he gave it up.

Can you believe he gave them to me as a tip once?

A big spender, your dad was not.

Lost Inside the Chasm to Oblivion?

Hate Tribes on the Planet Wrekk?

I told Nolan they were great. Real exciting.

Uh... I never read 'em.

After the quad got destroyed,

they just rebuilt it exactly the same.

A missed opportunity, if you ask me.

I...

I don't remember this.

It, uh, commemorates D.A. Sinclair's, uh... victims.

Victims?

You're the only one who, uh... recovered.

You hungry?

They did upgrade the waffle maker in the cafeteria.

I see flashes sometimes.

Sinclair's face, a, a scalpel.

But it's like I'm watching someone else's nightmare.

Am I... me again, William?

What? Of course you're you.

D.A. Sinclair took so much of me away.

I don't think they found it all.

Who am I if I can't even remember what I'm missing?

Rick, I'm so sorry.

It's going to be all right. I promise.

We'll get through this together.

The Man with the Invincible Gun.

Catchy title, Dad.

"Little was known about the Space Rider.

He was a mystery. The stuff of legends.

Stories about him stretched across"

the 12 galaxies.

But in all of them,

one detail remained constant.

The Infinity Ray.

It was said to emit an unstoppable energy wave

that destroyed anything in its path.

But it required a steady hand

and, more importantly, a steady mind.

For it wasn't a weapon to be used in haste.

No one has ever gotten close enough

to study the Infinity Ray for themselves.

The Space Rider always makes sure of that.

If the Infinity Ray is indeed real

and as powerful as the stories claim,

it poses a huge.

"threat to our mission."

Huh. Okay.

Savage Planet, Savage Beasts.

"Our mission was simple.

To investigate this harsh planet,"

and report back to space command headquarters.

The first thing we noticed was its gravity.

The planet was so dense and its pull so strong,

we could barely move.

After finding no usable resources,

my partner and I were ready to return home.

But the planet had other plans.

Ragnarrs.

In an instant, I was surrounded,

swarmed, overwhelmed.

I've battled creatures ten times their size.

But because of the gravity on this planet,

Ragnarrs had evolved strength like no other.

I had grossly underestimated these creatures,

and I feared this place.

"would be my grave."

Wait.

No way.

What do you want, Cecil?

Bermuda.

I hear it's lovely this time of year.

What are you talking about?

You and a long overdue vacation.

On the house.

No.

I wasn't asking.

How dare you?

Psych's concerned. So am I.

And since you refuse to see our specialists...

I don't need your pinheads poking around my brain!

Kate's death was difficult for everyone,

but I need you to...

I said I'm fine!

What?

Send it here.

What is that?

Someone's coming in hot from deep space.

Omni-Man.

Immortal, wait.

Immortal! Fuck.

Donald.

Ugh. Where did Invincible say he lived again?

Crap. This is gonna be tricky.

Whoa, hey. Hi?

I think there's been a misunderstanding.

How can I hear you speak?

Okay, it-it's just this implant I have.

It lets us communicate telepathically.

It's not a big deal.

Get out of my head!

Hey, I am not here to fight.

I'm just looking for Invincible.

Invincible? Omni-Man sent you!

No.

And chill the hell out.

I do not want to hurt you, sir.

Ooh, that hurt.

Ooh, you crossed the line with that one.

I'll kill you!

We just met.

Stop.

- Invincible. - Invincible.

What the hell is going on?

I don't know.

I came here looking for you,

and then, suddenly, this douche bag attacked me.

You have those on Earth, right? Douchebags?

Allen's my friend. He's a good guy.

Oh, um, my thing only works

between me and someone else,

not between two other someone elses.

It's a design flaw.

I-I'm told there's an update coming.

Right. Um, can you tell him?

Uh, yeah, with pleasure.

Hi, sir. Mark says I'm a pal.

He also says I'm essentially the king of space,

uh, so you should be very nice to me.

Also, he says he hates your dumb beard

because it's missing all the best parts of a beard.

These parts.

I don't believe you.

He doesn't believe me.

Did Allen attack you or threaten you?

Oh, good question.

Mark wants to know if I attacked you

or threatened you, which I totally didn't,

because you just charged up here and attacked me.

Not very heroic of you, Earth superhero of Earth.

I...

I thought you were someone else.

What the hell is that guy's problem?

His girlfriend just died.

Well, now I feel like a giant douche bag.

You do have them, right?

If I'm gonna keep making that reference.

Look, we need to talk.

Can we go somewhere that's not, like, in space?

And also, for future reference,

will you just point to where you live?

All right, we should be good now.

You know, on my planet,

a sock on the door means somebody's fucking.

Yeah, it's the same here.

Oop. Sorry.

You're a lot bigger than the last time I saw you.

Apparently, that's what happens when you almost get murdered

by a bunch of Viltrumites and you're me.

But get this:

My boss Thaedus is also a Viltrumite.

What?

I know, right? It turns out,

he rebelled against the Empire, like, years ago.

So, that makes two of you.

It's not much, but it is a start.

Now, if we could only win over your dad.

Yeah, about my dad...

And they took him away.

Said they're gonna execute him,

if they haven't already.

Um, that is... wow.

That is quite the story.

Do you think my dad's dead?

I don't know.

Viltrumites are weird about killing their own people.

I think because it doesn't happen much anymore.

So, why are you here exactly?

Oh, yes. Right. Of course.

On behalf of Thaedus and the Coalition of Planets,

I am to escort you to Talescria

to discuss our war against the Viltrum Empire

and how you can help.

Grab your stuff Mark, we got to boogie.

What? No.

I-I just got back from space.

Twice. I'm not going back just to talk to your boss.

This could be our chance to end Viltrumite tyranny for good.

Isn't that what you want?

Of course.

But Amber and I are in a weird place,

and now that my mom's looking after my half brother,

I can't just ditch her.

Are we gonna have to fight now?

Nah. I don't fight friends.

Because I would win and then I'd feel terrible.

It's a vicious cycle.

But... I should get going.

Thaedus will not be happy with me.

Maybe I can help with that.

I have a hunch about something,

but I need a second opinion.

Huh, this place sounds kind of familiar.

Hey, is that Space Racer?

It's Space Rider in the book.

It's Space Racer in real life,

and he is legendary,

in that no one is sure if he's real or not.

Okay, so I think everything in these books is real.

And it's all stuff that can hurt Viltrumites.

That's why my dad wanted me to read his books.

He's telling us how to defeat the Empire.

Oh, shit.

Can I, uh, can I scan these to take back to the Coalition?

Of course.

Thaedus will be a lot less pissed

when I show him all of this.

All right. Got it.

It was good seeing you again, Mark.

Thank you. And I'm very sorry

about your father's impending

or already completed execution.

Uh, thanks.

I-I still don't get why they took him away

when they could've just killed him on Thraxa.

I've heard rumors of a Viltrumite prison

somewhere in space. Maybe they took him there.

Want me to ask around?

I'd appreciate that.

Tell Thaedus that when it's time to attack,

when you need someone for the actual fight,

I'll be there.

Count on it.

Hey, Mark?

Are you and Amber done yet?

That sock's been on the door for hours,

and I really need to go to bed.

In order for a Viltrumite to be executed,

he must be healed and whole.

Worthy to stand and face

the end of his life with honor,

even if his crime was devoid of it.

Yet, for even such a craven betrayal,

there is a path to redemption.

Rejoin your people, Nolan.

Let this not be your legacy.

You conquered hundreds of planets,

brought glory to the Empire.

You were one of our greatest warriors.

How did a mere moment on Earth

turn you into a weak, sentimental traitor?

Answer me!

That planet and its people are toxic

if they could do this to you.

They, too, will pay.

Fucking Martian.

It wasn't enough that you left me to die on Mars.

You had to trash my place, too?

Let me help you with the jacket.

Mm, an excellent fit,

if I do say so myself.

May I ask, sir, what's the occasion

for such a fine suit?

I'm visiting an old friend.

Ah, it is good to be home.
