The Complex Character of Conquest in 'Invincible': Exploring His Role in the Viltrumite War
Conquest is a formidable character in the superhero cartoon "Invincible" on Prime Video. He plays a crucial role in Season 3, challenging Mark Grayson's reluctance to submit Earth to the Viltrum Empire. Despite causing significant destruction, Mark and Eve ultimately defeat Conquest, who is taken to one of Cecil Stedman's facilities for future involvement.
Fans of the show can look forward to more of Conquest in the "Invincible" comics by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley. He returns in a major way in the Viltrumite War, a significant conflict between the Coalition of Planets and the Viltrum Empire, where he meets his fate in a final battle with Mark.
In the comics, Conquest escapes confinement and becomes a key asset for the Viltrum Empire in their battle against the Coalition. Despite his villainous reputation, some, including Nolan, see him in a positive light. Nolan, Mark's father, even honors Conquest for his prowess as a powerful warrior, showcasing a different side to the character.
This exploration of Conquest's complexity adds depth to his character and offers a different perspective on his actions. With the potential for the Prime Video show to adapt this storyline in future seasons, fans may get to witness Conquest's final moments as part of the larger narrative envisioned by Robert Kirkman.
