New Image from Invincible Season 3 Unveils Upcoming Comic Villain and Story Arc Tease

The forthcoming Invincible season 3 has recently unveiled an exciting new image featuring a formidable comic villain, foreshadowing further challenges for Mark (voiced by Steven Yeun) as he transitions into full-time superhero duties following the events of season 2. After season 2’s climax, where Mark’s family was threatened by Angstrom Levy (voiced by Sterling K. Brown), he made the pivotal decision to leave college behind. Meanwhile, his father, Omni-Man (voiced by J.K. Simmons), faces his own turmoil, imprisoned by fellow Viltrumites after renouncing their ways and having a child on Thraxa. As season 3 unfolds, fans can anticipate an even more adrenaline-fueled experience, alongside the introduction of new heroes and villains.

Recently, the official Invincible Twitter/X account revealed the first look at Powerplex, a new adversary making his debut in the upcoming season. The image showcases Powerplex’s striking black and red suit, reminiscent of his comic book origins, with electricity surging throughout his form as he raises an arm with determination, hinting at an imminent confrontation.

Powerplex made his comic debut in Invincible #59, characterized by his powerful electrokinesis, enabling him to generate and manipulate electricity. His unique abilities also allow him to absorb energy and remain unharmed due to his robust physique, combined with the capability of flight. His backstory reveals a tragic motivation; having lost his family during Omni-Man’s catastrophic assault on Chicago, he harbors deep-seated anger towards Mark. Season 3 is set to introduce this villain while potentially exploring a similar narrative as found in the comics, delving into themes of loss and revenge.

Powerplex represents just one development in Mark’s evolving life this season, where he will also don a new black and blue suit, symbolizing his journey ahead. As the television series has displayed flexibility in its storytelling timeline, it remains unclear when Mark will first encounter Powerplex. There’s also the possibility that Powerplex could interact with other characters prior to his major confrontation with the protagonist, leaving fans to ponder the scale of challenge this villain will present to Mark.

Stay tuned for more updates and insights as Invincible season 3 approaches.
