Battle Beast Dominates the New Guardians
Invincible Season 1 Moments
For a superhero that calls himself Invincible, Mark sure tends to get beat-up quite a bit in season 1. Even with all of the beatings he takes throughout the first four episodes though, nothing compares to his shocking fight with Battle Beast.
Taking place in episode 5, aptly titled “That Actually Hurt,” Mark and the new Guardians of the Globe go up against a villain named Battle Beast. This humanoid lion man’s sole goal in life is to find worthy opponents that will make combat seem fun.
Unfortunately for our heroes, Battle Beast is way too strong for them, and they get absolutely pummeled. In no time flat, he manages to nearly kill Monster Girl, Black Samson, and Mark without breaking a sweat. The villain is so disappointed by the lack of challenge that he ends up teleporting away out of annoyance without finishing the fight.
The icing on the cake to this messed-up moment is that Omni-Man could have stopped the whole thing, as he is shown watching from the sky. Instead, he doesn’t intervene in order to teach Mark a lesson.
Despite the fact that we’ve seen some bad things from Nolan at this point, this was the biggest indication that he wasn’t going to be in the running for any Father of the Year trophies any time soon.
