Title: “A Lesson For Your Next Life”
On a devastated alternate Earth where Mark sided with Nolan, scientist Angstrom Levy escapes through a mysterious portal. One month after Nolan’s departure, Mark continues to struggle with his father’s betrayal while performing his duties as Invincible. Cecil appoints the revived Immortal to succeed Rudy as the Guardians’ leader and adds a new hero called Bulletproof to their ranks. The Maulers escape prison with help from their version of Angstrom who tasks them with building a device capable of transferring the memories of various alternate universe variants of himself to him so he can use their collective knowledge to advance Earth’s technology and save other planets. Cecil sends Mark to stop the Maulers as they begin the process, forcing Angstrom to use his multiversal powers to summon variants of the Maulers, who nearly kill Mark against his wishes. Angstrom stops the transfer prematurely, killing all of the variants present and horrifically scarring his body. Driven mad by his variants’ memories of their versions of Invincible and Omni-Man, Angstrom vows revenge on Mark and escapes.

In a trial by combat, Mark battles a kaiju and is injured when it produces a sound that damages his ears. Against Cecil’s orders to abandoned them, he saves the Atlanteans when the kaiju attacks them. Eve is horrified to learn the apartment she rebuilt has collapsed, built over unstable ground, though no one was killed.
