Invincible shows us the first steps of a new hero

Robert Kirkman created the comic Invincible in 2003, and soon found its space among those other figures of the format who have been generating content and adaptations of all kinds for many more years. The idea was to present a coming of age within a world of superheroes, and in the end, the protagonist’s journey has more to do with finding his own path, realizing that his father is not only not the great hero that everyone believes. It is also a danger that should not define him, and being able to find another type of family with his closest allies.

The protagonist is called Mark Grayson and at first we see him taking his first jobs as a hero while learning to wear the cape, but things will lead him to confront his father and his very origin. The animated series, released in 2021, follows this line and its new season will show us a very important villain for the canon named Angstrom Levy, whom we can finally appreciate thanks to an official image from the second season:

Those who are familiar with the comics know well who this character is, but for most who only follow the animation it will be quite an interesting surprise. Angstrom Levy is considered one of the most important archenemies in history, as he seeks revenge on Invincible for what a failed experiment caused him and because he knows the potential for evil that he carries in his blood and could make him a danger to humanity. He is also a genius who is able to cross dimensions, which gives us an idea of ​​the direction for the new episodes and how strong he can be, as he gathers information across the multiverse by contacting other versions of him. himself in order to defeat the hero.

In interview with IGNKirkman revealed a little about the path the protagonist will follow from now on:

I think a lot of people who haven’t read the comic are probably hoping that the second season will have another development on the main story between Mark and Nolan. I think there’s an opportunity to show them that no, Invincible is a great story and covers a lot of ground, and it’s not just about Mark and Nolan over and over and over again. There are certainly aspects of that. If you’re a big Nolan fan, get ready for season two, but there are plenty of other stories in Mark’s world, and Angstrom Levy is a great exponent of that.

The creator and producer also explained how the arrival of Angstrom Levy will mark the beginning of a new stage for the protagonist in training:

This is a character that comes in at a time when Nolan is gone and really becomes a Mark-centric villain, and he’s one of the first villains that really tested Mark and showed him as a capable superhero. Another thing I see people talking about from the first season is, “When is Mark going to start winning fights?” He starts winning fights in the second season. However, he still loses fights. Angstrom Levy is another big part of that, it just shows Mark as a capable superhero who can hold his own and really helps give people an idea of ​​what this series is really about.

In the second season of InvincibleSterling K. Brown, best known for his work on This Is Us – 89%, will voice the villain who looks quite similar to the design of the comics, where he has a large and deformed head due to the failed experiment that condemned his opinion of the protagonist hero. Despite this, Robert Kirkman He assured that, thanks to the excellent work of the actor, they changed some points of the original work to show a much more complex and dangerous Angstrom Levy.
