Invincible's Season 2 Part 2 Trailer Teases The Comic's Most Disturbing Storyline

Should Anissa’s horrific actions be transferred to the show, many details would need to be considered and hopefully reviewed. The assault itself, while an undeniably harrowing read, felt like a moment of shock value rather than making Anissa a crucial part of the “Invincible” story that reaches a conclusion. Admittedly, she’s not the only character in “Invincible” who gets away with past deeds. For example, in the case of Mark’s father, Nolan (J.K. Simmons), the road to redemption might not be as turbulent as audiences would like following the events of Season 1. However, whether Anissa’s actions are addressed later in this telling of this version of the story or not, its inclusion might still be seen as important for different reasons. 

While this show might be about superheroes fighting aliens or threats from different realities, there are still some serious issues that it has managed to address, and Anissa’s sexual assault of Mark could be another instance. This would mark a rare occasion in film or television where a male is the victim overpowered by a woman, and if the storyline makes it onto the show, it could spark conversation around the topic. We’ll see just how Anissa’s arrival is handled when “Invincible” Season 2, Part 2 arrives on Amazon Video on March 14.

If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available. Visit the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network website or contact RAINN’s National Helpline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).
