After a rather long wait, fans of Invincible finally got their season 2 premiere on Amazon Prime. While the series already had fans hooked, the first episode introduced a new villain, Angstrom Levy. He proved to have the ability to open portals between various dimensions and travel through them. However, after his plans of building a utopia with the memories of his variants get foiled, he takes a dark turn and promises to kill the lead in the series, Invincible.

As most people know, with great power comes great responsibility and the antagonist did not seem to grasp that. In fact, neither did the MCU villain, Kang, who plays a similar role in the Marvel world. This was not the first time Invincible drew comparisons with other superhero worlds. While the council of Kangs chose to work together towards one greater goal, Angstrom chose his goal and wanted to go it alone. However, with his plans being ruined, there is no saying what the character might do in the next episode.

Invincible’s bleak first episode of Season 2 showed fans that Angstrom Levy was not always a maniacal madman. However, with the series adaptation sticking to its source material, viewers could see more behind the curtain of the antagonist cover. While he may think he has a purpose to cure different worlds, the protagonist of the series does not agree with him.

The upcoming episodes are sure to focus on the threat of Levy trying to end Invincible. However, there is also a chance that viewers could have some hope for the character’s development. With an explosion that leaves him with a pulsating brain and the urge to kill Invincible for spoiling his plans, it is evident that something went wrong while he was trying to transfer the memories of his other versions to himself.
