What happened in the Invincible season 3 premiere?
Cecil's origins explained
Invincible season 3 focuses on Cecil's origins and shows him working as an agent for the GDA before he became its director. On one of the missions, he tried stopping a duo of supervillains from releasing deadly gas out into the open, and in an effort to stop them, Cecil ended up losing most of his skin from his body, leaving him injured.
After being fitted with artificial skin, Cecil was back on duty and found out that the GDA was now apparently employing the same criminals that he had stopped before. Disagreeing with the organization, he shot the criminals in the head and was sent to jail. However, when the director of the GDA stepped down, he gave Cecil his position as he believed he had what it takes to be in this business.
This is what led to him being the hardened veteran he is in the show right now, and he has been able to save the world on countless occasions - even if it meant getting your hands dirty.
Mark and Cecil have a fallout
Invincible season 3's premiere also features a big moment between Mark and Cecil. As Cecil has been training Mark, the half-viltrumite has been growing stronger. However, when Doc Seismic gets free and kidnaps all the superheroes, Cecil sends Darkwing and mechs created by D.A. Sinclair for help. However, Mark disagrees with this decision as Darkwing and Sinclair are both criminals.
This puts Mark at odds with Cecil, who then takes him into a white room filled with killer robots. After a brief battle, Mark finally goes to hit Cecil, but he gets a gadget out that affects the superhero's hearing as he installs a radio in his head. A beaten-up Mark then flies to the headquarters of the Guardians, where he orders Rudy to get the device that Cecil implanted in his head out.
The Guardians get to see Cecil's ruthlessness on the show and disagree with him using criminals as well. This also causes half the Guardians to disband, with Rex and others walking out. Mark then threatens Cecil to never come after his family again, or he will kill him.
Mark struggles with Oliver
Invincible season 3 also features a grown-up Oliver. As he keeps growing, it is revealed that he has also gotten his powers. This causes Mark and Debbie some huge issues as Oliver is excited to use his powers, but they are very much concerned for his safety as well. Mark then agrees to train Oliver so that he can control his powers.
However, Oliver takes it a step further and joins Mark in his crime-fighting missions. After Mark receives his black and blue suit from Art, Oliver also gets a brand new superhero outfit. It all, however, comes to a head when the Mauler Twins start attacking the military base, and Mark goes to help those in need. The twins plan on launching a rocket that will disable everyone's communications.
Oliver then shows up on the spot, and Mark gets angry at him. The twins end up launching the rocket, which takes up all of Mark's attention, and Oliver ends up killing the twins, which leaves Mark horrified. Oliver showcases the same feelings as his father, Omni-Man, and tells Mark that people's lives ultimately don't matter because they aren't special like him.
This causes Mark some great distress, but he and Debbie try to make Oliver understand that killing is wrong, and he agrees never to do it again. However, this teases that Oliver will have quite a dark arc in the upcoming season.
Other things mentioned through the Invincible season 3 premiere
