This article containsmajor spoilersforInvincibleseason 2 episode 4 and somelight spoilersfrom the comics.
Kirkmans response was telling.
After the fourth episode of season 2, youre definitely gonna need a break … a breather.
Youre gonna need time to digest, the writer said.
While the previous episode revealed where Marks dad Nolan Grayson a.k.a.
Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons) had flown off to following their bloody fight.
Nolan didnt summon Mark (Steven Yeun) to Thraxa just to make amends.
If youre wondering wait…what?
dont worry: Mark wonders the same thing and Nolan has a fairly compelling explanation.
Naturally, Marks Thraxan/Viltrumite half-brother will prove to be an important character forInvinciblegoing forward.
(sorry, I couldnt find any comic precedent for him).
Poor Mark doesnt know how to fight like a Viltrumite yet and it shows.
This proves to be a real escalation in the threat presented by the Viltrumites.
And yet, here Donald is in season 2, no worse for the wear.
He then find his own mangled glasses in the blast zone of the Omni-Man wreckage.
So whats the deal?
Is Donald a cyborg?
Some unholy combination of the two?
The comics have the answer to that if youd like tocheck it out over here.
Whats in Nolan Graysons Books?
Read my books, Mark.
Thats the last thing Nolan tells his son before he is carted off to Viltrum for his execution.
Lest we forget, Nolans secret identity on Earth was that of a successful sci-fi novelist.
Honestly, probably yeah.
As we see at episodes end, one of Nolans books is tantalizingly titledThe Man with the Invincible Gun.
That seems like it could prove useful.
The second half ofInvincibleseason 2 is set to premiere in 2024 on Prime Video.
