100+ Definitions 47



Invincible #47

Low-Frequency Listener (L-FL):  The 47th issue of Invincible (the final issue in the Invincible Compendium 1 collection!) begins by having the Viltrumite prisoners Nolan Grayson and Allen the Alien pass one another in the prison hallway and agreeing to talk at a later date. 

Invincible #47 (I#47): One would hope soon, since Nolan is ready for execution.  The story continues and shows the dissatisfaction of an iron-jaw crime boss at the incarceration of his operative Multi-Paul.  The crime boss deals directly with Titan, last seen is issue 19 after he wrested leadership of a crime cartel from Machine Head.

L-FL: The story continues and shows the hard-scrabble lives of Tether Tyrant and Magmaniac in their attempt to live legal lives.  They both abandon legality and embrace crime by embarking on a bank robbery which ends in their defeat by Invincible and his brother Oliver, who steps out in his first superhero work.  A superhero gains a sidekick through a wild amalgamation of ability, opportunity, and chance.   

I#47: The issue shows Rudy the Robot teaching Monster Girl how to control a robotic simulacrum as well as Mark Grayson’s roommate and best friend William wearing an Invincible costume around the dorm room…without  pants (thank the Fates he had underwear).  The issue ends showing D.A. Sinclair standing over a reaniman army he built for the USA government voicing the sinister promise in regards to keeping up the good work, “I won’t let you down.”
