History NightmareFuel / Invincible2021

* In the middle of Mark's date with Amber, a Viltrumite, Anissa, just suddenly enters the scene out of nowhere to demand that Mark speak with her about his progress on conquering Earth, or she'll slaughter everyone in the restaurant they're in, starting with Amber. This threat is delivered with bone chilling casualness, with her hand is calmly resting around Amber's neck, and Amber's herself is sobbing in fear.
* After managing to fight evenly against another Viltrumite, Thula, in ''It's Been A While'' there might be some hope that Mark can hold his own against Anissa should things get violent. There isn't, Anissa completely outclasses Mark to the point of helplessness, their fight is arguably even more one sided than when Mark tried to fight his father, if a lot less drawn out and brutal. Which once again puts into perspective how bleak Earth's prospects are against a Viltrumite invasion when just one of them can already prove too much to handle.

* Anissa's ultimatum to Mark: talk with her about his progress on conquering Earth, or she'll slaughter everyone in the restaurant they're in, starting with Amber. This is said while her hand is resting dangerously close to Amber's neck, and Amber's herself is sobbing in fear.

** Though Rex manages to kill Iguana and Komodo in his [[Awesome/Invincible2021 crowning moment of awesome]], it comes at the cost of his hand getting bitten off by Komodo - and even though that [[HoistByHisOwnPetard directly results in Komodo's death when the charged coin explodes inside his mouth]], Rex can only collapse and start [[HeroicBSOD half-crying]], [[LaughingMad half-cackling]] in a semblance of an attempt to process the '''horror''' he just witnessed and somehow survived. Regardless of how much of a {{Jerkass}} he's been until now (and especially in light of his [[JerkassWithAHeartOfGold tender moment with Eve prior]]), Rex did ''nothing'' to deserve this TraumaCongaLine. Hell of a way to break a man's ego...

* Their Social Darwinist philosophy in general. The passive dismissiveness of those they deem weaker is absolutely chilling. Not even those amongst their ranks are safe as after seeing that Nolan ([[NotQuiteDead seemingly]]) killed Lucan, Vidor can only say that he deserved to die then. Unless you are of Viltrumite descent (and if you are, you ''better'' be able to hold your own in a fight), then you are either dead or a slave. There is no other option.

** Then... she tries to do the same to Komodo, and it seems like she might manage to accomplish doing so (his veins and neck ''almost'' burst). But she doesn't tear free of his body immediately and Komodo begins to strain back, hunching over and crushing Rae inside him as her muffled yells of effort give way to screams of pain and horror... until with one final flex, her screaming cuts off with a crunch before Komodo spits out a bubble of her blood, presumably ''Rae's last gasp of air''.

* Shrinking Rae manages to survive being crushed inside of Komodo Dragon, breaking out of the flesh of Komodo's severed neck. But she's covered in the villain's blood, visibly bruised around her eyes and left in critical condition. If anything, the fact that she was alive inside him after getting crushed may be even worse.

* King Lizard makes good on his threat to shoot Rex, shooting him in the head. Rex lives and gets back up, but there's a constant spurt of blood shooting from his wound, his right eye is bloodshot, and he's barely lucid to register King Lizard until he's had enough of his taunts.

* Despite the Guardians of the Globe successfully halting the Sequid invasion before it can reach Earth and bringing the real Rus Livingston home, one of the Sequids comes along with them and possesses Rus once more after he vomits it into his sink.
* Shrinking Rae manages to survive her presumed death from being crushed to death inside of Komodo Dragon, but she's covered in the villain's blood when she climbs out of his corpse and left in critical condition.

* Again we are shown just how ''ruthless'' the Viltrumites are. We see three of them make landfall on the Thraxa and from what we see in a short amount of time they managed to kill most if not all of the populace, with Andressa and her son Oliver ''maybe'' being the only known survivors thanks to Mark and Nolan's efforts.

** Then... she tries to do the same to Komodo, and it seems like she might manage to accomplish doing so (his veins and neck ''almost'' burst).

That she somehow survives this ordeal is a '''''[[FateWorseThanDeath small fucking mercy]]'''''.

** Kate uses her clones to beat down Komodo Dragon, but he slowly but assuredly starts killing them faster than Kate can reproduce and eventually overpowers the last, who is now too weak to duplicate. As Kate uses another clone to try and escape his grasp, he catches the two and horrifically ''smashes them together'' leaving Kate close to death (if not actually dead). Both of the clone's bloodshot eyes are popping out...
** An enraged Shrinking Rae manages to kill Salamander, itself BodyHorror in its own right, with her entering his body through his eye, bursting the inside of his head, and popping his right eye out of his skull to get out.

'''''[[CruelAndUnusualDeath Holy shit]]'''''.

** The aftermath of Rae's death is just as horrific. Her growth inside of Komodo resulted in a sizable spray of blood from his mouth and nose, implying she may have managed to [[CurbStompCushion rupture something inside him]] in her escape attempt. But after he kills her, Komodo spends the rest of the scene with the entire crushed and mangled corpse of a full-grown woman inside his torso, not necessarily just in his digestive tract, and [[HumanoidAbomination it doesn't phase him one bit]].

** Rex manages to kill Iguana and Komodo, but gets his hand bitten off by Komodo as a result, leaving him at the mercy of King Lizard.
* To make it even more horrific, the Lizard League has been referred to countless times by numerous other heroes as a joke. This episode gives a disturbingly realistic wake up call that [[BewareTheSillyOnes even normally crappy villains can be just as dangerous as more traditionally fearsome villains,]] especially towards heroes like Rex, Kate, and Rae who don't fit in the weight classes of Invincible, Immortal, or Atom Eve.
* After Shapesmith knocked out the real Rus Livingston and took his place, Rus was found by the Sequids and effectively made into their leader for the upcoming invasion.

** What makes Rae's death especially horrifying is that Komodo kills her not by swallowing her, but by flexing his mucles so hard that he crushed her within his own torso. Even worse, you can hear her ''screaming'' in pain while Komodo does this. Oh, and that little bubble of blood coming out of his mouth? ''That's Rae's last breath.''
