Jessica Duvall

Jessica had a slight frame and a brown complexion, her hair kept short and her eyes a matching brown. She is remembered in a short-sleeved grey shirt and blue jeans, finished with a pair of pearl earrings.

The show reveals little of who she was, though what surfaces points to a warm and nurturing woman. When their parents died, it was Jessica who stepped up to raise her younger brother.

Beyond her bond with her younger brother Scott, Jessica's past is mostly a blank. She raised a daughter, Gretchen, while Scott went on to marry Becky and father a son. Her life ended amid the devastation the Omni-Man and Invincible fight brought to Chicago. She had spent the day at a park with Scott and Gretchen before heading back to her apartment, with Scott lingering behind for a coffee. As the two combatants tore through the city, her building began to give way. Invincible raced to brace it, his sheer velocity shattering every window, and Jessica lost her footing rushing toward her daughter. She tumbled from an opening; the hero caught her arm as Gretchen stretched out from the ledge above. He could neither halt the collapse nor pull them free, and he rose from the rubble clutching only Jessica's torn-off arm. Her death, and Gretchen's, seeded a far larger tragedy. Her brother refused to lay the blame on Omni-Man alone, holding Invincible equally at fault. Working inside the G.D.A.'s science division, Scott got hold of experimental energy-storage technology to amplify his own kinetic-absorption powers and, alongside Becky, launched a vengeful rampage as the villain Powerplex, a crusade that would go on to claim his wife and infant son.
