The first three episodes of Invincible Season 3 bring a lot of action and tension, diving deep into Mark’s struggles and the looming threats on Earth. The episodes cover Mark’s efforts to control his powers, his relationships, and some terrifying threats, with a cliffhanger that leaves fans wondering, Is Angstrom Levy really dead?

At the end of season 2, Mark appeared to kill Angstrom Levy, leaving fans wondering about his fate. Season 3 throws more mystery into the mix, with hints that Angstrom may have survived.

After the brutal beating from Mark, it was believed that Levy was dead, but it’s possible that he underwent some form of high-tech surgery to recover. Whether or not he will return as a major threat is something fans are eager to see unfold.

Season 3 starts with a huge training montage, showcasing Mark’s growing superhero skills. He’s getting stronger, more powerful, and more confident in his abilities. However, Rex Splode, who’s always had a bit of a competitive streak, grows increasingly jealous of Mark’s progress.

Meanwhile, Cecil and Donald, who have always been supportive, start to worry about Mark’s future. They know how dangerous his powers can be, and they fear what could happen if Mark loses control.


Recap of episodes 1- 3

Season 3 takes an unexpected turn when Mark and the team are called to stop a heist involving the Declaration of Independence. As they approach the National Archives Building, they have no idea that someone inside the GDA is working against them.

This “someone” turns out to be Multi-Paul, Dupli-Kate’s brother, who uses this knowledge to ambush Rex and Mark. While these two villains are no match for Mark and Rex, the arrogance of the heroes puts them in a vulnerable position, and Multi-Paul takes advantage, leading to a brutal battle where Mark loses control and slaughters every copy of Multi-Paul.

Mark, trying to stay calm after his experience with Angstrom Levy, attempts to reason with Multi-Paul. But when that doesn’t work, Mark’s anger takes over, and he violently destroys every copy of Multi-Paul.

The situation gets even worse when Dupli-Kate is forced to reveal herself to the world in order to stop the chaos. Eventually, Mark captures Multi-Paul, but the damage is already done. Mark is left with new doubts about his moral compass, especially when he returns home and sees how Oliver is rapidly growing in power.

Mark’s return home reveals another challenge: Oliver, his younger brother, is becoming more intelligent and powerful by the day. Mark is both impressed and scared by Oliver’s abilities, as he now has to worry about Oliver misusing his powers.

Meanwhile, Debbie and Cecil continue to argue about whether Oliver should be trained to face the Viltrumites, who are still a looming threat. These discussions are uncomfortable for Mark, as he knows the weight of such decisions.

While Mark is dealing with these intense challenges, his personal life also takes a hit. Mark has always struggled with dating Eve, and this season is no different. After discussing his troubles with his friends, Mark finally decides to ask Eve out.

But when he mentions his experience with the alt-version of Eve, she becomes angry. Their argument only adds to the growing tension between Mark and those closest to him, especially with Cecil and Debbie.

As if things weren’t complicated enough, Doc Seismic manages to escape from his cell. Using subterranean creatures and a clever plan, he traps and attempts to kill nearly every superhero in North America. Invincible and Atom Eve try to stop him but are quickly overpowered.

Cecil, in a shocking move, sends in the ReAnimens and Darkwing 2 to help, despite their dark pasts. Mark is appalled by this decision, especially since Sinclair, who caused Rick’s trauma, is still working for the GDA.

In a flashback, we learn more about Cecil’s past and how he became involved with the GDA. We see his struggles to stop a deadly toxic gas attack and the physical and emotional scars that still haunt him. Cecil’s regret over past decisions shapes his actions in the present, and his violent stance against certain villains is explained by his past trauma.


Mark’s new suit and change in attitude

Mark’s new suit in season 3 is a reflection of his darker, more serious attitude. The bright yellow suit is gone, replaced with a blue and black outfit that suits his more intense approach to crime-fighting. This shift is symbolic of the growing tension between Mark and those he once trusted, like Cecil.

Mark is no longer the idealistic hero he once was, instead, he’s becoming more of a no-nonsense figure, willing to take extreme measures if necessary.

Mark’s growing aggression leads to a clash with Cecil, resulting in a bloody confrontation. Cecil believes he’s justified in using extreme methods to maintain order, while Mark thinks that such tactics are evil. Their fight escalates, and Cecil uses a device embedded in Mark’s brain to stop him, causing Mark pain. The Guardians step in, and a violent battle ensues.

Following the chaotic battle, the Guardians decide to split from the GDA, with some members choosing to remain loyal to Cecil and others walking away. This division shows just how far apart Mark and his allies have drifted from the GDA’s methods, making it clear that the team is fractured and uncertain about their future.

Mark tries to teach Oliver about responsibility and how to handle his growing powers. He’s afraid of what Oliver might become, but he’s also determined to guide him. The relationship between the two is still developing, with Mark trying to be both a mentor and a protective older brother.

The first three episodes of Invincible Season 3 are packed with action, emotional struggles, and plenty of mysteries. Mark’s journey to control his powers and figure out his place in the world is far from over. With the return of old threats, including Angstrom Levy, and new challenges on the horizon, it’s clear that the stakes have never been higher.
