“He lives just to perish again” – Internet in stitches as Robert Kirkman confirms Business Baby’s return

Hold onto your hats, folks, because Robert Kirkman has just dropped the biggest spoiler of them all: Business Baby is still alive! The last time we saw the pint-sized powerhouse in Invincible 3, he was caught in the crosshairs of the melee that broke out between humans and Viltrumites.

But that was simply a ruse, and according to Robert Kirkman, Business Baby is back with a vengeance in Invincible Season 4.

No one quite knows what Business Baby really does, if that's even his real name, or where he actually came from. He has only been seen a couple of times through the course of the show and the last time we saw him in Invincible Season 3, he was squished by a giant superhero in a moment that was both shocking and oddly comedic.

Just when we thought we had seen the last of him, Kirkman dropped the bombshell that he was not done with us yet.

Fans react hilariously as Business Baby is confirmed to be alive in Invincible Season 4

In a world of superheroes and supervillains, Business Baby is just like a toddler who was sent to the front lines to buy humanity some time and fans seem to have taken a shine to him.

Maybe it's because of his character design, his relatability, or maybe due to the mystery surrounding his origins. Staying true to his character, Business Baby has not uttered a single line throughout the show, simply because toddlers do not know how to speak!

So when Kirkman casually let slip during a recent panel that Business Baby 'did not die', the internet lost its collective mind as social media went ablaze with theories, memes, and a healthy dose of confusion. One fan (@jermefffi) hilariously predicted that the elation was only momentary:

"He will live just to perish one more time"

When Robert Kirkman dropped the shocker, X became a war zone of wild guesses and unhinged fan fiction as fans debated how a baby could've possibly survived the fatal landing.

Theories ranged from Business Baby being a cosmic entity disguised as a baby to even a robot like Cecil's right-hand man, Donald. Others wondered if he faked his death using advanced tech, all the while laughing at the absurdity of the situation.

One of the greatest mysteries of the Invincible franchise is Business Baby's powers. Viewers have still not been able to figure it out, and the details are still a bit murky. The makers of the show themselves have kept fans in the dark as there have only been two reported appearances of the infant entrepreneur to date.

One fan put his hand in the beehive when he asked what is it exactly that BB does, sparking a wave of mind-bending hilarity of reactions on X:

"Surviving being crushed by realy havy people?", joked one fan (via X / @IAMTHECREEPER1)

"Business as a baby", quipped another (via X / @QuilKol)

While the internet basked in the euphoria of Business Baby's triumphant return, some fans debated about the direction the character would take in the coming season.

Now that the little mogul is back and better than ever before, fans are wondering if he'll take on the mantle of the Earth's mightiest hero and get to guilt-trip Thragg into negotiating a peace treaty!

As some fans declared that the toddler is 'too silly' for the show’s tone, they decided to take shots at the show instead who doesn't let bygones be bygones:

"Even the stupid characters you see for 5 seconds cant die, whats the point of Mark being "Invincible" when everyone else is as well?", fumed one fan (via X / @ChickensofD)

"Istg nobody in this show dies unless they have a funeral", joked another (via X / @LaheyWisdoms)

The user raised a very intriguing point to be fair. From Immortal and Atom Eve to even Angstrom Levi and now Business Baby, the makers of the show surely have a flair for the dramatic in resurrecting people from the dead. Perhaps they should consider switching the name of the show to Surviving Saga instead!

---

When Business Baby seemingly met his demise during one of Invincible’s many apocalyptic showdowns, fans mourned deeply. But as fate would have it, he is set to make a comeback in the coming season that has brought mass hysteria to all our timelines.

Maybe we are searching in the wrong direction, and making a comeback really IS his superpower? Who knows!

Until Robert Kirkman finally caves and gives us answers, the internet will remain locked in a desperate battle of speculation.
