Invincible 407 Don't Do Anything Rash Synopsis
Created by: Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley, Cory Walker
Episode Written by: Helen Leigh
Directed by: Stephanie Gonzaga
Thousands of years ago when the Relonian’s began an uprising against their Viltrumite oppressors the leaders argued over what was to be done. A younger Thaedus argues that their strength should not be punished but their leader Argyll is unmoved ordering 25% of their race be destroyed.
Before the plan can be enacted Thedeus assassinates Argyll and flees the planet. Determined to root out the perceived weakness that caused his glorious leader’s death, the new regent Thragg orders all Viltrumites to destroy all weakness they find, leading to the murder of millions. Only the strong survive.
In the present day, Theadus leads a team of the coalition's strongest warriors including Nolan, Mark, Oliver, Allan, Tech Jacket and Space Racer to the planet Viltrum. He hopes to catch and kill Thragg and a small group of Viltrumites before they’ve had time to regroup and leave the race leaderless.
But they were prepared and both groups battled furiously against each other. Thragg makes one last offer to Nolan to come back to the Viltumite side and all will be forgiven. The planet is everything that they represent. Unable to beat the Viltrumites in the battle Nolan, Thaedus and Mark follow an Infinity Bolt from Space Racers weapon through the core of Viltrum destroying the planet and its legacy.
Furious, Thragg unleashes his power on the team, taking Thaedus head and Oliver’s jaw declaring he’s a mistake adding nothing to the Viltrumite race. He leaves Nolan beaten unconscious and is stopped short of killing Mark. Realising they’ve lost too many.
Weeks later Mark is awakened by Allan, the new leader of the Coalition of Planets. Allan has been tasked to find and retrieve the missing Viltrumites but as they discuss their plans Mark realises the superpowered beings are on their way to Earth.
