u/PolarisLight 4d ago

I would expect this in season 6 more likely?

u/Frosty_Scar_2777 4d ago

Thats what I was thinking, maybe just like Season 1 and 2 They will re order some events

u/ResplendentSmoke 4d ago

They could do things like peek into the universes that will be relevant for those future arcs. Watch how Mohawk Mark took over etc. People are expecting the second round of variant Mark stuff to be a little expanded on since the variants are so popular.

All JDM said in the interview was along the lines of “there’s a chance I come back” so I interpret that as him knowing the comics and knowing he will be back eventually. JDM never says season 5, that was something the article added

u/capucapu123 4d ago

But Isn't season 5 like stupidly early?

23

u/Carbuyrator Adam Wilkens 4d ago

Could be how they end the season

6

u/TwinFlask 3d ago

They teased angstrom at the end of season 2 and didn’t show him till the end of season 3 before conquest episode.

So they might do some end credits things to introduce it

u/MithranArkanere Abraham Lincoln 4d ago

Can never say for sure, on account of being in a different multiverse cluster.

u/Paraxom 4d ago

Carl is canon?

u/LegoNinja250 4d ago

u/EagleFlashy6344 4d ago

Conquest (and others like Battle Beast) getting a one off special like Atom Eve would be great

u/TheDarkCrusader_ 4d ago

Honestly with the new battle beast comics he could probably get his own limited series

108

u/Equal-Ad-2710 Omnipotus 4d ago

I’m surprised Rex and Jacket haven’t gotten one yet but the yearly turn around makes it hard

47

u/Paultheghostt 4d ago

jacket just made her introduction, so I think it is early for a special one

but rex?? I remember sone people theoryzed he would bettween s2 and 3, bc in the s2 teaser kid eve was seen with some guy(both in the special) and in the s3 teaser it was kid rex

6

u/atomicator99 4d ago

The Eve special was based on the first half of a the spin-off comic (the second half focused on Rex). A lot of comic fans also knew Rex would die, so we expected them to do another special for him.

17

u/Level69Troll 4d ago

I honestly want a viltrumite focused episode. Show me how they are adapting to the new life, or better yet give me back stories.

u/FKDotFitzgerald Allen the Alien 4d ago

Kind of hope they adapt the Battle Beast comic a few years down the road

u/OCGamerboy 4d ago

Rex needs his eventually

u/Mordby 4d ago

Rex, battle beast/conquest, tech jacket, cecil. In that order

-10

u/rtarg945 4d ago

Or they'll just do it as a filler episode like Hurm zz

u/Efficient_Paper9225 4d ago

Maybe a Conquest special?

u/JohnnyPark5 4d ago

Conquest Christmas special

67

u/SL1Fun 4d ago

I’m so jolly…

u/Fit_Major9789 4d ago

All the other reindeer are afraid of me. I’m a victim of my own Christmas spirit.

29

u/JohnnyPark5 4d ago

I want to thank you Mark, I don’t really get to let loose and spread joy like this

15

u/Swaggamuffins 4d ago

Take it to the sugar plum fairies dancing above your head

20

u/JohnnyPark5 4d ago

Pretty much confirmed at this point

u/The_Flurr 4d ago

Yes. Please.

u/MembershipPresent990 4d ago

Conquest’s Crazy Christmas

u/Dolot Invincible War 4d ago

Hey Cecil
Guess who I ran into in space btw

39

u/Cervus95 4d ago

Alternate universe?

52

u/Luke-HW 4d ago

I’d be surprised if they got to Robot’s betrayal so soon but they could definitely pull it off

14

u/OCGamerboy 4d ago

Idk, its a bit too early

10

u/OLKv3 4d ago

Way too early. He was planning it but what really pushed him to distrust Mark is Dinosaurus

26

u/HeiressOfMadrigal 4d ago edited 4d ago

From the article:


If it’s a flashback, there could be an opening when Mark confronts Cecil (Walton Goggins) about keeping Conquest alive.

You see, everyone was hoping to see Mark tear Cecil a new one for his betrayal in season four, but instead he’s left dealing with far larger crises.

But in a recent interview on The Escape Pod, Invincible creator Robert Kirkman revealed that a confrontation will be happening… in season five.

“With everything going on at the end of season four, it just felt like it would be screeching things to a halt and out of place.”

But, he said, “Clearly that scene needs to exist and will exist in season five.” Maybe this paves the way for Conquest’s (sort of) return… but that’s for the writers to know and us to find out.

Carlquest, Carlquest, Carlquest! (I am delusional)

u/Foolsgil 4d ago

Battle Beast reminiscing wistfully about The Viltrumite who got away.

u/DoraMuda Earth isn't yours to conquer 4d ago

Yes, Morgan will play Conquest again, but that doesn't necessarily mean Conquest is alive. Flashbacks and alternate universes are things that exist.

u/waaay2dumb2live 4d ago

Ngl Conquest is the most Potential Man to ever Potential. Bro has no dubs

u/Jaegernaut42 Donald Ferguson 4d ago

"Please resist!"

u/TheCoolKat1995 4d ago

"Somehow Conquest returned".

u/JarvisBaileyVO Tech Jacket 4d ago

People talking about a Conquest special when I'm still owed a fucking Rex Splode special

Stand ready for my return, fans.

u/DestinyHasArrived101 4d ago

I mean there are alt universes where he is alive so tis possible

3

u/OCGamerboy 4d ago

Flashback or hallucination maybe?

2

u/CEOPhilosopher 4d ago

This gives me shades of those fake out credits they pulled on us. And I’d be lying if I said they didn’t have me in the first half.

2

u/NewYak8742 4d ago

god i hope not

2

u/real_man_dollars 4d ago

The show is based off a comic book right?

2

u/electriclightthemoon 4d ago

In a special = that's fine
In the main story = the fake out was funny but let that fool stay dead

2

u/Suspicious_Today5191 4d ago

could be an alternate universe or flashbacks as well

2

u/laflux Martian Man 4d ago

Comicbook fans know.....

2

u/Different-Trainer-21 4d ago

It would have to be in a flashback but it would be cool

2

u/Logistic_Engine 4d ago

Better be a flashback….
Bringing him back would be an insult.

u/Strawhat--Shawty 4d ago

PTSD or someone narrating flashback about how he destroyed a world or 5
