Summary

• Invincible season 3 poster teases Powerplex as new villain connected to Mark and Omni-Man's fight.
• Previous hints in the show set up multiple potential Invincible season 3 villains to appear.
• Powerplex's origin story ties to destruction from Mark and Omni-Man's battle in season 1, setting up a new storyline.

Invincible season 2's ending left viewers even more eagerly anticipating what comes next for Mark Grayson, especially regarding who will be the main villain. After Omni-Man in season 1 and Angstrom Levy in season 2, the third season has big shoes to fill.

The identity of Mark's next opponent was not directly confirmed before, but the show already set up several different Invincible season 3 villains who could occupy that space. Whether it was season 2's tease of Conquest's eventual arrival, the introduction of Anissa, teasing Mark Grayson's variants from across the multiverse, or Angstrom Levy's fate, there are multiple options at the show's disposal. Thanks to an early suggestion of what Invincible season 3 will look like, another villain has been confirmed to appear.

Invincible Season 3's Poster Confirms Powerplex As A New Villain

His Electric Powers Are Teased

Thanks to the first Invincible season 3 poster, which was revealed at Invincible in his new blue suit ready to fight someone who is not directly pictured. However, the shadow of his opponent looms over him. While this might initially seem to be a potential tease for Mark's evil variants, several details confirm that it is Powerplex he's fighting.

Between the similar body build and haircut, the identity of Invincible season 3's villain as one of Mark's evil variants would be an easy mistake to make. However, the yellow lightning that is featured in the poster and the raised pad on the shoulder imply that this is Powerplex after all. Powerplex's powers in the comics are green lightning bolts instead of yellow, but it appears that the show has changed that detail for some reason. In any case, this confirms that audiences will see Invincible fight Powerplex in Invincible season 3.

Powerplex's Origins Connect To Mark & Omni-Man's Fight From Season 1

He's Tied To The Destruction

The introduction of Powerplex in Invincible season 3 means the show is going to recontextualize the events of Mark and Omni-Man's fight. Invincible season 1's ending revolved around the destructive battle between father and son, as Omni-Man laid waste to cities and killed countless humans to prove a point to Invincible. In the comics, Scott Duvall a.k.a. Powerplex loses his sister during this fight, as she is killed among the destruction. This becomes the beginning of his origin story to seek revenge on Invincible and Omni-Man, the people he blames for his sister's death.

After Invincible season 2 spent time redeeming Omni-Man and mending his and Mark's relationship, season 3 is now prepared to remind everyone of the destruction and death that occurred the last time Nolan Grayson was on Earth. It will be a chance to further explore the human element of the superhero world. For a show that features plenty of devastating events, Invincible season 3 will change how you see season 1's ending and other city or world-threatening villain battles.

What Powerplex's Role In Invincible Season 3 Can Be

The Comics Provide An Idea

The introduction of Powerplex in Invincible season 3 sets up a devastating storyline for the series to follow. In the comics, Scott's attempts to get revenge on Mark repeatedly fail, leaving him in a spot where he gets desperate to get Invincible's attention. This leads him to make his wife and son pretend to be hostages that need saving. But once Invincible arrives, a devastating sequence of events leads to Powerplex's life changing forever, and his hatred for Mark growing to new levels. This and more can be explored in Invincible season 3 now that Powerplex is set to debut.
