100+ Definitions 102: The Final Definition



Invincible # 102

Low-Frequency Listener (L-FL): The moon is a harsh mistress that hosts a heavy-weight match between Omni-Man and Viltrumite leader Thragg.   

Invincible #102 (I#102): Thragg reveals that Nolan (Omni-Man’s mundane name) is the heir to the Viltrumite rule and states his intention of slaying Nolan in order to maintain his rule.

L-FL: The fight ends when the other Viltrumites appear, stop the fight, and accept Nolan as their ruler based on the wisdom, not strength, of his ancestor.

I#102: The issue wraps up with Nolan giving his acceptance speech for king of the Viltrumites to a collection of Viltrumites (including Invincible).  Upon his return to Earth, Mark Grayson, Invincible, notes the strangeness of receiving honor from the Viltrumites that so recently tried to kill them.  He then proposes marriage to Samantha Wilkins.  She accepts.

L-FL: So would you say this issue defines a superhero as an individual that possesses an element of nobility and royalty from a legacy based on admirable wisdom.

I#102: Of course I will.
