It’s been more than two years since Season 1 ofInvincible, the animated adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s popular comic book series, concluded. However, fans shouldn’t expect the makers to spend a lot of time recapping the story when the show returns on November 3. But one thing is for sure, Robert Kirkman doesn’t try to make things as real as possible like the MCU does.
Season 2 of the show will take viewers directly into the challenging world of high school senior and superhero Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), along with his human mother Debbie (Sandra Oh). The story delves in their struggles after knowing that Mark’s father, Nolan (J.K. Simmons) has connections to a fascist alien race that is poised to dominate the galaxy.

There’s a distillation that happens with the MCU, where they shave the edges off to make everything as real-world as possible. Like, you’re never going to see Robert Downey Jr. having a conversation with a fish person in the MCU.”
