A recent picture from Season 3 of Invincible features the older brother Mark Grayson (Invincible) and younger brother Oliver and showcases what appears to be a tension-filled standoff between the two. Their relationship always had its drama, but something is different now in this latest season.

Mark is dressed in a very shiny, brand-new blue suit, suggesting that he may be getting through a very dark part of his life, and Oliver looks mad and frustrated. As the two brothers strive to find their niche in the world of superheroes, their contrasting visions of justice and responsibility may lead them in quite different ways.

The upcoming season will push Mark and Oliver into new battles, not only against villains but within the family. Tensions between the two may be related to Mark's current struggles, including the after-effects of battles in the past and the growth of doubts regarding being a hero.

Oliver is now discovering himself as Kid Omni-Man and sets out, ready to prove himself. But will they get along or tear each other apart with their differences? Let's break it down.


Mark's new blue suit in Invincible season 3 and what it means

Mark's new blue suit in this upcoming season is a big deal. In previous seasons, he is seen struggling with his identity as a superhero, especially after he found out the truth about his father, Omni-Man. This new outfit suggests that he has entered into a darker phase, possibly questioning his place in the world.

According to SFX Magazine, Mark is pushing himself harder than ever, training to take on major threats like the Viltrumites. But it's not just physical battles he's dealing with—he's also wrestling with guilt over past choices, like his brutal fight with Angstrom Levy. This could be why Oliver is challenging him in the image.

This time around, things are not smooth with Cecil Stedman, the head of the Global Defense Agency. Even though their history has always been complicated, there seems to be something more on Mark's case about Cecil this season. Perhaps with everything falling into place, Mark is about to go a lot darker than ever before.


Oliver's rise as kid Omni-Man in Invincible

Oliver has always looked up to Mark, but he's also had his ideas about what it means to be a hero. As he steps into the role of Kid Omni-Man, he's eager to prove himself and make a difference. But it won't be an easy ride. Oliver and Mark are going to disagree with each other over their philosophies in Invincible Season 3.

Oliver is more impulsive and believes in taking decisive action, while Mark is not that bold. After everything that Mark has faced, he doesn't want to be hasty, and his biggest disagreement seems to be about killing villains. He has always been troubled by this issue, and Oliver may push him into some very difficult decisions.

Invincible will also look into how much Oliver has grown and changed. In the previous seasons, he was still a kid trying to figure things out. Now, he is stronger, more confident, and ready to take on bigger challenges. But does that mean he is ready to stand on his own? Or will he need Mark's guidance more than he realizes?


The bigger picture: What's coming in Invincible Season 3

Beyond all the sibling rivalry, Invincible Season 3 will bring forward some serious threats. One major villain to look out for is Powerplex, who has a personal vendetta against Mark. As CBR puts it, Powerplex blames Mark for the loss of someone close to him and is out for revenge. It might just add even more pressure on him to balance his responsibilities.

Another major issue is Cecil's increasing power. Mark has always been uncomfortable with the way the Global Defense Agency operates, but this season, his discomfort might turn into full resistance. With Cecil using questionable tactics, such as experimenting with Reanimen, Mark will have to decide where he stands.

And, of course, there are the seemingly unstoppable Viltrumites. Their presence haunts him because he knows they will not remain silent for much longer. Training alone will prepare Mark for what he expects to come, but whether he is ready for it remains anyone's guess.


Invincible Season 3 premieres on February 6, 2025.
