10 Invincible Comic Moments We Can't Wait To See In The Series

Through the series, Invincible wonderfully takes advantage of every superhero cliché there is, from uneasy alliances to intergalactic warfare. Until the last third, the one wrinkle not yet explored was a hard-hitting betrayal, and Kirkman and co finally ticked that box when Robot shockingly turns on Invincible.

After murdering Angstrom Levy and leaving Mark stranded in an alternate dimension, Robot departs and gets to work remoulding Earth in an attempt to create a utopian society at the cost of personal freedoms.

Robot is a pillar of moral strength in the series' early stages, but his return from the Flaxan Dimension also brings a new perspective and experience that he uses to commandeer the planet in a prosperous, yet oppressive takeover.

Thragg remains the overarching intergalactic threat, and indeed the primary antagonist of Invincible, but Robot's tight grip on Earth makes him the immediate domestic force that Mark and friends must overcome before the series' conclusion.

Like Roose Bolton's betrayal of House Stark, Robot's sinister heel turn is a moment sure to shock TV audiences everywhere. It's a truly surprising series of events that feels immediately plausible given the character's arc through the series' second half.
