100+ Definitions 15



Invincible # 15

Invincible #15 (I#15): This self-contained issue opens with the difficulties arising in the Guardians of the Globe from reverse aging superheroine with the mind of a 29-year old contained in the body of a three-year-old girl.  The scene shifts to Mark Grayson, Invincible’s alter ego, talking to his mom.  Cecil contacts Invincible to assist in political relations with the undersea kingdom.  Invincible has to marry the Queen since it was discovered Omni-Man killed the former king, Aquarius, and Invincible drove off Omni-Man.  Invincible ventures to the undersea kingdom and manipulates events so the one who truly loves the Queen can marry her instead of Invincible.  Mark’s mother talks to another woman married to a superhero about her loss of her husband/Omni-Man.  The Immortal seeks revenge on the Clone twins who resurrected him.  The issue closes with Mark’s friend William convincing his new girlfriend, Atom Eve, to fly and carry him through the sky, much to her dismay.  

Low-Frequency Listener (L-FL):  In an article “The Superprotagonist” by Fred Van Lente, superhero is defined as “any protagonist (of any story) with more than mortal abilities.  I know that casts too broad a net for some, but that’s how I would define it.”  Would you find it accurate to say that the contents of you story defines a superhero as an individual with extraordinary powers with the ability to critically think about the employing those powers in innovative ways in order to resolve problems.

I#15: Yeah, sure.  Although I have to admit, a blog persona talking to an invented persona of a comic book, “this is so gay.”
