Mark Grayson faces his biggest threat yet in the multiverse-spanning Invincible season 2 finale.
Here’s how it shakes out.
This article contains spoilers forInvincibleseason 2 episode 8.
Invincibles first season finale was a tough act to follow.
Invincibles bloody battle with his own father Nolan a.k.a.
Omni-Man is already the stuff of animated superhero TV (and meme) legend.
Still theInvincibleseason 2 finale comes closer to recapturing the excitement than it has any right to.
Those stakes give this finale I Thought You Were Stronger an impressive emotional throughline.
And of course, there is some multiverse nonsense to enjoy as well.
Here is howInvincibleseason 2 ends.

Wait, Was That Spider-Man?
The first of those worlds includes a Spider-Man or something as close to Spider-Man as copyright law will allow.
The masked superhero is wearing a black and yellow costume rather than a red and blue.
The logo on his chest is an A rather than a spider.
But the intent here is unmistakable.
Thats Spider-Man and Doc Ock.
Or more accurately: Arachnid-Man and Professor Ock.
The spider guy is even voiced byThe Spectacular Spider-Manvoice actor Josh Keaton!
I know youre from another dimension.
Ive got way too much experience with that.
So uh…trust me.
Im the good guy here and Mr.
Mechanical Arms is not.
The scene appears inMarvel Team Up (Vol.
And the show doesnt stop with just Spider-Man.
Does Mark Defeat Angstrom Levy?
Hell yeah, he does!
Didnt you see all the blood?
Marks battle against Angstrom Levy represents a major moment in his superheroic development.
But Angstrom Levy took things too far.
He threatened Marks family.
And no amount of multiverse-shuffling was ever going to properly soften Mark up.
Hes always trying to push this thing down that he naturally has power in.
That struggle eventually … it came out.
Does Eve Love Mark?
For a moment there it really does seem as though Mark is screwed.
Im gonna die here.
He kind of won, Mark observes with a dark laugh.
When things look the most hopeless, however, the Guardians of the Globe arrive to save him.
This isnt the Guardians of the Globe weve come to know though.
Theyve been searching for Mark for the past 20 years as their world has become dystopian without Invincible.
Robot opens a portal to send Mark home and fix the time stream.
But before Mark can take off, Eve has an important message for him.
I love you, Mark.
I have for a very long time, she says.
I should have told you.
No, dont tell me.
Tell her you love her or tell her you dont love her.
Tell her something so she can go on with her life.
This raises all sorts of fascinating time travel questions.
Did Atom Eve always love Mark or did she come to in the 20 years of his absence?
Does older Atom Eve telling Mark this information affect their eventual romantic destiny in one way or another?
How does Mark even feel about all of this?
Even Steven Yeun doesnt know what to make of it all.
Its conflicting, right?
Its surprising but at the same time a relief.
Or maybe like a real touching moment.
It must confirm things to him and also betray things that he thought were true.
Then at the same time, thats who she isnow not necessarily who she is in his time.
Youre not always the same person.
Does Rex Become Robot in the Future?
Heres a fun one.
After Eve speaks with Mark, Robot takes his helmet off to chastise her.
Under said helmet is none other that Rex Splode.
Eve even addresses him as Rex.
So does Rex Splode take on the mantle of Robot in the future?
Recall that,back in season 1, Rudy Conners a.k.a.
Robot used Rexs DNA to build himself a new, functional body.
Hes apparently even going by Rex now.
It was then revealed thatRex survived a gunshot to the headand Rae survived being eaten alive.
Now, in the finale, we find out that Dupli-Kate made it out as well.
Her method of survival was pretty simple: she never died in the first place.
What Was With That Egyptian Mummy?
Without warning, the action cuts to somewhere in the desert.
Two women, one of whom has super strength, invade the tomb of magical mummy known as Ka-Hor.
So uh…whats all that about?
There is no character named Ka-Hor in theInvinciblecomics and nothing close to this plotline appears in the original canon.
What this feels like is a running joke for theInvincibleTV series.
We first met Ka-Hor and the man he killed back in season 1 episode 4.
That scene was similarly cut short by Invincible flying by, lost in his own world.
Whats Next for Omni-Man and Allen?
Its not anInvinciblefinale if it doesnt have a mid-credits scene.
The stinger in I Thought You Were Stronger is actually more subdued than you might expect though.
Nolan is not particularly pleased that Allen has come to rescue him as he is ready for death.
Thats because he has done the impossible and overcome his Viltrumite coding.
He feels regret and remorse.
And he feels something else as well…something impossible.
I think…I miss my wife?
Nolan utters before the season comes to a close.
Its with that sentence, its clear that Nolan is not going down without a fight.
All eight episodes of Invincible season 2 are available to stream on Prime Video now.
