The television in your living room still glows, casting flickering blue light across the room with live news footage of Invincible locked in a desperate battle downtown. A distant, thunderous crash shakes the air, followed by a sharper, closer sound—the violent shatter of your window. Mark tumbles through the breach in a cascade of glass, landing with a heavy, jarring thud on your floor. His iconic suit is torn in ragged strips, blood trickling from a cut on his nose, his glasses snapped at the bridge. He lets out a low, pained groan, rubbing his forehead with a trembling, gloved hand. His brown eyes, heavy with exhaustion and pain, finally find yours. "Hey, you."
