INVINCIBLE

Aah!

I noticed the Immortal wasn't tracking your transformations.

It's not his job to track my transformations.

It's not yours either.

Um...

- You remember Paul? - Hi.

If we had a place of our own, we could just be together.

Now we just have to figure out

how to afford it.

A superhero. On retainer.

Your power may come from the stars.

Mine comes from beyond this reality.

Pull up a chair. I'm cooking you dinner.

- Oliver's gone. - He made normal friends.

The way you played me and Liu--

pure genius. Mwah.

You really didn't need to come all the way out here for this.

Aw, are you kidding? Ten's a big year.

Becky would have come as well, but it's too soon for Jack to travel.

Gretch can't wait to meet her cousin.

She looks so carefree.

It's the childhood we never got.

Uncle Scott, hold up your hands again. I want to do the thing.

Gretchen!

It's okay, Jess.

Here.

So cool.

Make a bigger one.

Sorry, kiddo.

That's as big as I can make 'em.

Aw...

I'm gonna grab a coffee before I come up.

Want anything?

Nah. I'm good.

No. No!

J-Jessica!

No.

No. Jessica...

Gretchen!

No.

Jessica.

Gretchen.

District Attorney Barnett.

Sorry to ambush you like this, but you weren't returning

- my calls or my emails. - And you are?

Scott Duvall. I've been calling your office about the Invincible case.

Look, I... I sent you the petition my-my wife and I did.

We've gathered over 3,000 signatures, if you could just look...

Mr. Duvall, I'm very busy. I-I just simply don't have the--

Wait, please.

My sister, Jessica.

She, uh, she raised me after our parents died.

She brought an amazing daughter, Gretchen, into this world.

They both died

in Chicago, and it feels like...

Well, it feels like their deaths don't matter.

Of course they matter.

Then where's the investigation?

And the charges? The trial?

It's not just Jessica, okay?

Thousands of people died in Chicago.

Why is that murderer still flying around free?

Invincible was defending the planet from an alien threat.

How do we know that?

Okay? The threat was his own father.

If he's so innocent, then open an investigation.

Let a jury decide. Give us justice.

Mr. Duvall,

I'm very sorry for your loss, but there's nothing I can do.

Our laws don't apply in situations like this.

Test 36.

Charging bio-therm power capacitor now.

Okay, it's at 50% charge

and holding.

Complete discharge in three,

two, one.

Of course there's gonna be inventory miscounts.

At the pace they're working us?

I guess we can thank V.S. Three for that.

She did kick the crap out of Invincible.

Nah, you saw the tapes. He stopped fighting.

Uh, yeah, I coauthored the report on her.

She still would have won.

It's bullshit.

And what's bullshit now, Scott?

That they accuse us of making mistakes or losing equipment

while heroes like him leave thousands dead in their wake.

Someone here isn't an Invincible fan.

Scott's not wrong.

I mean, anyone else smashes their way into the Pentagon,

they're either dead or locked away for life.

He got to walk out-- no harm, no foul.

Exactly.

Maybe you've all forgotten, but Invincible is the only real weapon

we've got right now if more Viltrumites show up.

Till 2A grows up, at least.

- Aah! - Aah!

None of you would eat a dog, so why is a cow any different?

If I can survive on an all-plant diet, so can y--

Where'd you even find this guy?

Hey, careful! You got to look out for other people.

I did. He didn't hit anyone.

He hates listening to me so much.

Who wants to listen to their older brother?

Oliver, keep the fight away from the restaurant.

If the place gets trashed, we can't have burgers after you're done.

Got it. Thanks, Eve.

Wait. Are you just using me as a--

Hey! I'm not your training dummy!

Sure you are.

Uh...

Next time, I want to fight someone tougher.

When you're ready.

I'm ready now. I already fought real villains.

Why do I have to fight lame-os like the Elephant?

Dad made me fight the Elephant a bunch of times, too.

It's good practice.

That was before Dad did all that stuff.

Ye-Yeah. Before all that.

Will people here ever forgive him?

Oliver, it's... Uh...

I know he did a bad thing trying to take over the world,

but he saved a lot of people before that, right?

Doesn't that count?

Yeah, Dad probably

saved more lives than he took.

But those lives don't just cancel out the others.

So, he never gets to say he's sorry? He's a bad guy forever?

That's not what Mark's saying.

- It's... It, uh... - But people think that, don't they?

Hey. Can you blame them?

They don't know about Thraxa or the Viltrum empire

or anything that happened since Dad left.

All they know is he tried to take over and killed a lot of people.

Why don't you tell them, then? You could make them understand.

Oliver.

What is this really about?

I think, because of my Thraxan side,

I have, like, a really good memory.

I can remember everything from when I was little.

Like my mom hugging me.

And Dad humming songs and flying me around the palace.

My mom loved Dad, like, a lot.

I know that.

And she was awesome, wasn't she?

Your mom was really smart and brave.

Then how bad can he be if my mom loved him

and had me with him?

Even after Dad did all that bad stuff,

she must have known he was good inside.

I still love Dad.

But he was two different people.

One was the dad you and I knew when we were kids.

But the other was a Viltrumite

who had a mission to do,

even if that meant hurting a lot of people.

So, which one is the real Dad?

Invincible!

Where is your remorse?

Have you no shame for what you've done?

The lives you've taken?

You think you're above consequences,

but you are wrong.

You will pay for your crimes against humanity.

I, Powerplex, will make you pay!

That was much better this time.

Then I'm ready.

They'll put me on his level.

Let me store enough power to hurt him,

but there's no going back.

I know this is difficult,

but we've tried everything else.

Jessica meant everything to me, too.

Keep going.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

That's all of them.

The hammer.

Again. Harder.

Harder!

Oh!

I miss them... so much.

Me too.

We woke up Jack.

I'll go get him.

You get changed.

I wouldn't really call it a fight

since I could have knocked him out in, like,

one second, but Mark and Eve say I need to learn the basics,

except I already learned the basics ages ago.

Ow!

Sure. But you didn't see that coming, did you?

Eve.

Mark was bragging about you the other day.

He said you aced your last test at school.

Well, I only got an 84,

so I didn't exactly ace it.

Oh, come on, it sounds like you're doing well in your courses.

Thanks.
