100+ Definitions 97



Invincible # 97

Low-Frequency Listener (L-FL): Invincible 97 resumes weaving abandoned story threads left hanging in previous issues.

Invincible #97 (I#97):  The initial strand follows Bulletproof’s confession to his parents that his brother is dead.  They don’t take the news well.  They accuse him of murder and say awful words to him.  Bulletproof’s wife bashes her mother-in-law over the head with an iron skillet…which kills her.  Her father-in-law begins punching her out of rage and frustration.  Bulletproof tries to pull him back by his head and…kills him too.  Bulletproof puts the bodies in his parents’ car and makes it look like the car crashed off a cliff road, killing his parents.  The funeral seemed nice.  Bulletproof and his wife sit stunned silent by events at the kitchen table.

L-FL: Another twist of twine involves Allen the Alien apologizing to Nolan Grayson, the superhero Omni-Man, and releasing him from prison.  The leader of the Coalition of Planets sends Nolan on a mission to gather more information regarding the Viltrumites bivouacking on Earth.

I#97: The final strand involves Mark Grayson and Samantha Wilkins visiting a comic book convention and talking with the creator of the comic book Science Dog.  Following some love magic, the powers of Invincible return to Mark Grayson.

L-FL: The definition of superhero derives from this closing story in this issue.  For a superhero, love restores waning and lost power.

I#97: Invincible’s powers are back, baby!
