NewInvincibletheory hints at a major deviation from Robert Kirkman’s comics
Since its launch,Invinciblehas been one of the most popular superhero projects. The series inspired by Robert Kirkman’s comic series was mostly faithful to the source material with minor changes. However, a new theory onRedditby the user @National-Exam-8242hints that Season 2’s ending may present a significant deviation from the comics.

This new theory states that Mark Grayson will be lost in another universe and the superheroes of that universe might want to hunt him down. TheSteven Yeuncharacter will have a tough time convincing them that he is not the same Mark and will try to find a way back home. This theory also aligns perfectly with the Season 2 premiere that shocked the fans.
In Season 2’s Episode 1, we got our first look atInvincible‘s multiverse. The episode opens up by showing an evil Mark Grayson who has joined the Viltrum empire to take over Earth along with his Omni-Man. The fans were shocked to see such a drastic change in Mark Grayson so soon after his fierce battle against his father at Season 1’s finale only to find out that it was a different Mark.

The introduction of Armstrong Levy, who is one of the iconic villains of the superhero in theInvinciblecomics, ensured the fans with loads of Multiversal fun in the second season. His forthcoming big fight against Mark Grayson in the season finale suggests that the character will go on a multiversal trip and may get stranded in the evil universe shown in the first episode.
Even though the multiversal concept exists inRobert Kirkman‘s comics, such a storyline never existed in the comics. This potential shocker can take the series in a new direction in the further seasons. However, the fans must note that the multiversal theme inInvinciblewill play out differently than the other superhero franchises.
What did Robert Kirkman say aboutInvincible‘s multiverse?
The character of Armstrong Levy introduced the multiversal aspect inInvincible. He is a new villain who can open portals to other universes. However, Robert Kirkman stated that the character played by Sterling K. Brown will give us a more unique approach to multiverse than what Marvel and DC did with their projects.
Robert Kirkman spoke toScreen Rantthat he is frustrated with how the superhero franchises are exploiting the Multiversal theme now. He adds that when he wrote about Armstrong Levy in the comics, neither the Spider-Verse took place nor the iconic Flashpoint happened. However, Kirkman made it clear that his show would present the audience with a distinct approach to the concept.
“It’s really cool because the way that we’re handling alternate dimensions is extremely different than everything else. It’s a little bit more character-based. It’s a little bit more focused. It’s not just used as a tool to give you a hundred different versions of a cool thing that you love. It’s really a storytelling tool that we use in a cool way.”
Despite calling his multiversal theory different from the others, Robert Kirkman thanked (viaThe Ringer) the multiversal projects likeEverything Everywhere All At Oncethat made the audience familiar with the complicated concept.
