Powerplex is voiced by TV legend Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad,Westworld, et.
and is introduced inInvincibleseason 3 episode 6 All I Can Say Is Im Sorry.
If that seems like a solid reason to become the Invincible-hating villain Powerplex,Invincibleshowunner Simon Racioppa would agree.
I hope you come out of that episode being like Powerplex had a point about a lot of this!
Maybe he went too far here or there.
But hes not wrong about a lot of the points he charges Mark with.
Thats something thats going to be rattling around Marks head for the rest of the season.
Like many otherwise sympathetic villains, Powerplexs methods to achieve justice prove to be rather flawed.
Scott steals some powerful disks from GDA to augment his pre-existing but weak energy-absorption and electrokinetic powers.
He then begins to stage crimes to entice Invincible out for a fight.
In that regard, the relatively weak Scott Duvall proves to be more than a B-list villain.
Or at leastInvinciblecomic creator and show producer Robert Kirkman thinks so.
Listen, Powerplex is A-Minus at [worst], Kirkman jokes.
I think this season is about the shifting ground under Mark.
This is his transition from his late teens into adulthood.
This is when you start realizing what it is you stand for as a person.
Its very important to have that rug pulling moment in Marks evolution as a character.
Aaron Pauls body of work pretty much speaks for itself, Kirkman says.
We knew that we were in good hands with that character.
Invincible season 3 episode 6 is available to stream on Prime Video now.
New episodes premiere Thursdays, culminating in the finale on March 13.
