The second season of “Invincible” wasted no time in delivering an intense and horrifying opening scene. The premiere episode unveiled a dark turn of events as we witnessed Mark, the titular hero, aligning himself with his father, Omni-Man, in a ruthless attack.

Meet Armstrong Levy
Amidst the chaos, a new character emerged on the scene – Armstrong Levy, portrayed by Sterling K. Brown. Defiant and unwavering, Armstrong confronted the menacing duo, refusing to yield to their destructive power. He managed to make a daring escape through a portal, revealing that this was an alternate reality where Mark had made a different choice: joining his father rather than opposing him.
Mark’s Struggle
In the primary timeline, Mark grappled with the aftermath of his father’s violent spree. Balancing his double life as a high school student and a superhero, Mark devised a cover story, claiming that his father had been killed during Omni-Man’s attack. Surprisingly, this twist of fate even led to a truce with his former bully, Todd. Mark continued his heroic endeavors while coming to terms with his father’s tainted legacy and strived to establish a new team of heroes known as the Guardians of the Globe.
Armstrong’s Ambitious Plan
Armstrong Levy, however, was cooking up his own elaborate scheme. He orchestrated the release of the Mauler Twins from prison, revealing his unique ability to traverse alternate realities. It was here that he dropped a bombshell: in most parallel universes, Mark chose to stand by Omni-Man, making the reality where he remained a hero an exceptional rarity.
The Multiverse Device
With the assistance of the Mauler Twins, Armstrong hatched a plan to construct a device that could grant him access to the collective wisdom of his alternate selves across the multiverse. He believed that this vast knowledge would equip him to solve the myriad problems plaguing Earth. In exchange for their freedom, he offered the Maulers the opportunity to inhabit a world devoid of superheroes.
The Clash of Titans
As Armstrong’s ambitious device neared activation, Invincible swooped in, determined not to entrust such power to anyone. A fierce battle ensued, pitting Invincible against the Mauler Twins. But Armstrong, whose pacifist principles clashed with the situation, made a fateful decision. He removed his helmet midway through the process, triggering a cataclysmic explosion that devastated the entire laboratory.
A Dark Transformation
In a post-credits scene, a lone Mauler survived, albeit severely disfigured by the explosion. He stumbled upon Armstrong, who had gained the knowledge of his alternate selves. However, this newfound wisdom came at a terrible cost – Armstrong had become grotesquely mutated and infused with the anger and malevolence of his selves from dystopian worlds. He swore vengeance and made it clear that his sights were set on eliminating Invincible.
What Lies Ahead
It appears that Armstrong Levy is poised to become the primary antagonist of “Invincible” season 2, promising even more high-octane superhero action and thrills. As the series unfolds, fans can anticipate an electrifying showdown between Invincible and this newly transformed and vengeful character.
