The success of betrayed and attacked the Guardians of the Globe superhero team.

The battle served as both an encouraging and unfortunate introduction to what fans should expect from the show. On one hand, it foreshadowed the thrilling action and fight scenes to come. On the other hand, it abruptly eliminated what seemed to be a fascinating group of heroes — particularly, for fans of Wonder Woman, War Woman, who was the clear standout of the scene.

However, if the series stays true to the comic books, there’s every reason to believe War Woman will eventually return to continue "smashing heads and taking names" once more, albeit with one major difference.

Invincible's Short-Lived Powerhouse, Explained

Aside from the climactic battle with Omni-Man, the Guardians barely made an appearance in the Invincible TV adaptation. However, in a brief scene before the fight, viewers see War Woman’s alter ego, Holly —who appears to be a high-powered business executive – talking to a red-headed woman with green eyes, named Connie, about the company’s recent performance. When Holly receives an alert, she transforms into War Woman and flies off. This alert is the one that brings the Guardians together for their deadly confrontation with Omni-Man.

Viewers did not see Connie again for the rest of Invincible Season 1, or all of Season 2. However, during a meeting of "the Order" in Season 3, Episode 5, a red-haired woman with green eyes is shown wearing War Woman's costume. She looks remarkably like Connie, the woman War Woman was conversing with just prior to the alert that led to her demise. This decision by the creators seemed perplexing at the time – at least for those who hadn't read the source material.

In Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker's Invincible #7, before flying off to meet the Guardians of the Globe on the fateful day Omni-Man attacks them, War Woman shares breakfast with a person unmistakably her partner. Notably, this unnamed woman bears a striking resemblance to Connie from the animated series, differing only in eye color. Although there has been no official confirmation that the animated series' Connie is the same woman who shared War Woman's last breakfast, the similarities are too striking to ignore.
