The consequences of Mark’s actions is also a major plot point, as he questions if he can be himself and a superhero, too.

Rex Splode (Jason Matzoukas) sacrifices his life to defeat one of the evil Invincibles.\n\nThe victory over the variants, and the chance to recover and mourn, is short-lived because Conquest (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a violence-loving Viltrumite, shows up to pummel Mark to a bloody pulp.
