The following review contains spoilers for the season 2 premiere of Invincible, "A Lesson for Your Next Life"
Season 2 of Invincible kicks off with a look at what lies ahead for novice superhero Invincible/Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), in oblique but alluring fashion: A peek into an alternate reality in which Mark joined forces with his father, Omni Man/Nolan (J.K. Simmons), and conquered the world. This vision of what could’ve been if Mark hadn’t been betrayed and battered by Nolan not only establishes some of the story’s emotional stakes (the idea that Mark’s rage and unpredictability makes him scarily like his father, a genocidal envoy from the planet Viltrum), but it also introduces us to a potential antihero, in the form of the dimension-hopping Angstrom Levy (Sterling K.

The question of how Mark Grayson and his mother Debbie will deal with the fallout of Omni-Man’s betrayal is the primary driving force behind the plot, ensuring that t...
