Mark Grayson always believed being Invincible meant protecting people.
But what no one told him… was that every time he saved someone, the universe took something else from him in return.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK10VKeXVJI
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEkDUTzxgt
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfftNTzcFQ2
The first time it happened, he didn’t notice.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW0rF3Swye
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD0S3ARF93
He stopped a collapsing building in downtown Chicago, pulled hundreds of people out alive, and smiled at the news cameras like a hero.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlbwiQ9zNS
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqnXNu9tdq
That same night, his father Omni-Man looked at him strangely.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqvs4St0Dr
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhHgdqZDwq
“You’ve started changing things,” Nolan said quietly.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10gTEMKLNu
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndZ20ygFUW
Mark didn’t understand.
Until the next morning.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQlnZ8GbyX
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3tYmjuZMv
His mother didn’t recognize him.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS8v79lr8Q
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW5v2MdYSq
Not emotionally… but literally.
She looked at him like he was a stranger who had broken into their home.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJnRcvCC9c
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK76FwrsGbG
“Who are you?” she asked, stepping back.
Mark froze.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Kj9ZhXS8
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA5NUHGhpY
“Mom… it’s me. Mark.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvxsjHw1mx
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YM1QcCHnJ
But her eyes didn’t change.
And behind him, the photo of their family on the wall… only had three people in it.
Mark was missing.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOYOTPjjZi
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep0ZrF4cNU
He checked everything.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtBnuAu6g2
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHQriRDfSb
Friends. School. Records.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTrKJQXMMR
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3MTO10Afp
It was like he had never existed.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U8H4SpqVd
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYo2BVOzrd
But his powers… still existed.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNJGSumMKg
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5zEfDOjpI
That was the cruel part.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlaB49yvnn
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheFrsxxDEJ
He was Invincible in a world where he didn’t belong.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgWcZji284
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOCTo5YyGA
He went to Cecil at the GDA.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUC6QAAM4a
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwWaqTxV3Q
Cecil looked at him for a long time.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLjDPa4Pf7
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N7wBrrmtW
“I was wondering when you’d show up,” Cecil said.
Mark felt hope rise.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSZCQCUEqG
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvmcBxHIfa
“So you remember me?”
Cecil shook his head.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZs4r46zXE
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOekiHHZ1C
“No. But every time reality shifts… there’s always a man in blue and black armor asking the same questions you are.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt5V4RS7jI
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKflIG9Paj
Mark’s breath caught.
“Reality is unstable around you, Invincible.”
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH11cQP9Eze
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnHvvm8hnc
That night, Mark followed a strange energy signature across the city.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rug6okKbv
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nnNUCaBDw
It led him to a broken mirror floating in mid-air above the water.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwChDLAqog
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiMJExt5jp
And in that mirror… he saw himself.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPOWpnn4Iy
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdpoSJtrnx
But not this version of him.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzEhNwdr1v
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xPUOhJox7
That Mark was laughing.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYvWMY6YR1
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaD6J3lr9B
Standing with his father.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaoE9lZARm
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzNUCh0Nje
With Eve.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu7wFAPkJP
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLmNPb2A9j
With a life that looked… complete.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOQgmy4EXm
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLhWk0Qn4i
Then that version looked at him directly.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe1xJsTBKu
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygDfsj30Jn
And smiled.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMk8jFMg3N
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmFfWKHRMF
“You’re the one who keeps breaking it,” the other Mark said.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwkXIHGkno
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9zhbfI7qF
Mark stepped closer.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlkzngwJ9l
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoID8Cgl5fT
“What are you talking about?”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UvSj6gRR1
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmuV69OQIu
The mirror cracked slightly.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU8Yew8Lym
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0nCd8F5mS
“With every save… you erase another version of yourself that never suffered,” the other Mark said. “You think you’re protecting people… but you’re overwriting reality.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7f6Qdt0uJ
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbg113Q4pn
Mark’s fists tightened.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuwhdHGJX1
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyKxqiPU3f
“That’s not possible.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJIEy73csc
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBs1abwHsa
But deep down… he felt it was true.
Every loss. Every missing memory.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCBFN2QAde
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOJ3HaPhKK
It wasn’t random.
It was him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrFAFMRU0d
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlV57o9m9p
The mirror shattered.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hcs20gYMJ
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmdpKv490Q
And with it, thousands of possible lives screamed into silence.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNKOQKwdrj
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVrWLaZh1S
Mark fell to his knees over the water.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAclY4it5yn
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbKruyOy9k
For the first time… Invincible felt small.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xSybL6k9Z
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9i6Eb00Ad
Back home, his mother opened the door again.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplDN5TKMou
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKmKlfGIJr
This time… she paused.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQWNesC1HZ
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVZeSzTNgH
Something flickered in her eyes.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka78VJAVch
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyIjBr68CE
“Mark…?” she whispered.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhUDGLQUJt
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD6ItYSiu9
He looked up.
Hope… real hope… rose in him again.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTZ8sa4yjQ
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgqYW4zclp
But behind her, the photo on the wall flickered too.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCnk0uR2Xf
One version of reality was trying to return.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkajj9OoiIb
Another was still being erased.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbD5YjLq8Y
And Mark had to choose:
Stop using his powers… and let people die.
Or keep saving them… and slowly erase himself forever.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPesG3ADzO
He closed his eyes.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHykge8205
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubmSanUvLM
And flew back into the sky.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd6Uhn8chq
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdNicsLbDP
Because Invincible… was never about being unbreakable.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y0mr0lfdy
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QqbeR1yBt
It was about deciding what you’re willing to lose.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqQw8H0YZ4
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNsCiuRZZV
Even if it means losing yourself.
