* WhatIf: What if Nolan successfully convinced Mark with taking over Earth for the Viltrum Empire, unlike what happened last season? The first six minutes show an alternate Invincible and Omni-man becoming an unstoppable force while stamping out any resistance like Immortal and the new Guardians of the Globe. The episode then goes to the current universe Mark still remaining a hero.

** As Invincible and Omni-Man # 646 are raiding the Resistance hideout, they take out Robot and Eve despite the latter trying their hardest. Nolan easily slices Robot's drone apart, tanks the null energy beam from his blaster like it's nothing, and effortlessly rips and smashes the suit holding Rudolph's main body before leaving him to die. Invincible, meanwhile, boringly backhands and blocks Eve's energy shots, shatters her shields, and snaps her neck; she's not dead, [[AFateWorseThanDeath but she probably wishes she was]].

** There are multiple moments throughout the episode where it seems like they’re about to smash cut to the show’s title… but they just say the name/word Invincible instead. We don’t see the title until Langstrom’s declaration of revenge at the end.
