All I Can Say Is I'm Sorry

Scott Duvall lost his sister and niece when Chicago was destroyed during Mark's fight with Omni-Man, and years of ignored pleas for justice curdle into obsession. He infiltrates the Pentagon, steals experimental discs, and grafts them onto himself to amplify the energy-absorbing power he was born with, adopting the name Powerplex. After a botched ambush that leaves him believing he killed Shapesmith, Scott strikes at a memorial for the Chicago dead, where Eve overpowers him.

He escapes custody and finally stages the fake kidnapping of his own family to lure Mark out. The plan collapses catastrophically when his powers spiral out of control and incinerate his wife and son, and a devastated Scott surrenders as Mark drains and subdues him.

Powerplex debuts as a tragic new antagonist, voiced by Aaron Paul opposite Kate Mara as Becky Duvall. Rudy finishes a belt that at last stabilizes Monster Girl's de-aging transformations, effectively curing her curse. Shrinking Rae resolves to leave the team while Rex wavers. The episode confirms that the woman and child Invincible could not save during the Season 1 finale were in fact Scott's relatives. In the closing scene, a very-much-alive Angstrom Levy begins gathering a multiversal army of evil Invincible variants to take his revenge.

The title comes from Invincible issue 59, echoing Mark's apology to Powerplex over Jessica Duvall's death. The on-screen deaths of Scott's wife and son mark the first time the series shows a child killed directly rather than implying it. The end credits parade fifteen evil Invincible variants, seeding the Invincible War to come, and the hour is Zazie Beetz's final voice turn as Amber Bennett. Memorial plaques in the scene quietly list names of the show's own production staff.
