Invincibleseason 3 ’s storyis postulate a turn many may not have expected via the introduction of a central clash of ideologies between Mark and another major character . As a result , Invincibleseason 3 ’s main villain- at least as far as the three - installment premiere is concerned - will be as shocking to audience unfamiliar with the beginning textile .

Cecil Stedman’s Backstory In Invincible Season 3 Makes The Character Way More Human

Gone Is The Cold Director Of The Global Defense Agency

The character in query is Cecil Stedman , the film director of the Global Defense Agency . InInvincible ’s first two seasons , Cecil was shown to be cold , hardened , and very no - nonsense , but his intentions were always the protection of Earth and its citizens . Although this did make Cecil come across as a virtuously correct shielder , it also mean audiences could not get a complete range on whether they actively like Cecil . Invincibleseason 3 withdraw this to a whole raw spirit level by throwing in a clash of ideologies between him and Mark , which just so pass off to direct to the geographic expedition of Cecil ’s backstory .

Cecil and Mark ’s dissonance stems from the former wanting to reform and apply manslayer and malefactor like D.A. Sinclair and Darkwing to protect Earth at all toll , yet Mark feel that this moral line should not be queer .

Invincibleseason 3 ’s three - sequence premiereshowed Cecil as an agent of the GDA , working to protect Earth . As it turns out , Cecil was once in Mark ’s position ; he disagreed with the GDA reforming murderous , malefic criminals to help the people of Earth , going as far as to get himself imprisoned by pip two former criminals . Cecil ’s clip in prison house saw him excel in being able to reform and assure these kinds of people , eventually extend him to become the GDA ’s director we know fromInvincibleseasons 1 , 2 , and 3 .

Via this backstory , Cecil immediately becomes much more human . Despite his cold , ruthless tendencies remaining fully inviolate , Invincibleseason 3 establish more reasoning as to why that side of him exist . Cecil has been through a circle , which audience see play out in the new time of year . Now , his reason for protecting Earth are at the cutting edge , allowing him to seem less like a estimate , stubborn government functionary , and more like a full fleshed - out character .

It’s Amazing That Invincible Has Made It Okay To Root For Cecil & Rex Splode

Two Characters Have Completely Turned Around

Thanks toInvincibleseason 3 ’s geographic expedition of Cecil ’s past , the show has outright made it much easier to steady down for him . Even the conflict between him and Mark highlighted inInvincibleseason 3 ’s first three episodes is complex for the audience , as they now may find themselves unsure of whose side to be on . Both make good points and both are now fully realized grapheme , and it is awe-inspiring thatInvinciblehas been able to turn Cecil into just this , just as the show did with Rex Splode .

unvanquishable time of year 2 is give one case a surprising redemption electric arc , but episode 5 has just flipped everything on its headspring in a sad way .

When Rex was introduced , he was an arrogant , objectionable guy who audiences could easily steady down against . He did awful things to those around him and was never a superheroInvinciblefans tended to support . Invincibleseason 2 changed that entirely via Rex ’s conflict with the Lizard League and new outlook on biography after these event , making him someone audiences can take root for going forward . Cecil ’s chronicle inInvincibleseason 3 has show to do on the dot the same , and it should only be remember how the show can become two unlikable characters into heroes in their own right .
