Plot summary

In a flashback, GDA employee Scott Duvall loses his sister Jessica and niece Gretchen during Omni-Man and Mark Grayson's battle in Chicago. In the present, Scott steals GDA technology to augment his ability to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy, becoming Powerplex. He terrorizes Chicago to lure Invincible, but after defeating Shapesmith, he flees to his wife Becky and son Jack. Meanwhile, Mark struggles with his moral uncertainties. Rudy Connors builds a device to help Monster Girl, whose powers de-age her body, while Shrinking Rae tells Rex Splode she plans to retire. Becky convinces Scott to stage her and Jack's kidnappings to trap Mark. In the ensuing fight, Scott accidentally kills his family before Mark defeats him. Mark confronts the ripple effects of his existence as a superhero. Scott is taken into GDA custody. Atom Eve tries to console Mark, but he remains withdrawn. Concurrently, Angstrom Levy assembles an army of Invincible variants from across the multiverse.

Khary Payton voices Kyle, Amber's new boyfriend, contributing to the series' multifaceted narrative.

Reception

William Hughes of The AV Club flagged the episode for pulling its focus tight — what superhuman wars actually do to the people living in the blast radius. Phil Weaver of Only Comic Universe scored it a nine out of ten, calling it "a solid and very touching episode" and singling out the flashback to the Omni-Man vs. Invincible fight as a genuine gut-punch. Siddhant Adlakha of IGN appreciated the shift back toward stories that hit hard, noting the flashback re-anchors the emotional and narrative stakes in a way several earlier third-season episodes had let slip.
