Invincible 401 "Making The World A Better Place" Synopsis

Created by: Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley, Cory Walker

Episode Written by: Helen Leigh

Directed by: Sol Choi

Mark, Oliver, and Eve continue stopping threats while dealing with the physical and mental aftermath of Angstrom and Conquest. Cecil appoints Brit as leader of the Guardians of the Globe and merges the Teen Team back under his leadership, causing great irritation in the newly renamed Teen Team leader “Rex”.

Mark meets Dinosaurus, a powerful being he nearly kills despite learning the creature's human host lacks control in his transformed state. 

Tensions rise during a difficult dinner with Eve and her parents as Mark learns Eve’s father blames him for the loss of his career during the destruction of Chicago. Her mother guides Eve to not set the bar too high for her relationship.

Meanwhile, the Sequids prepare another invasion, and Universa arrives on Earth, draining energy from a power plant to save her people. 

Eve struggles as her powers become unstable during the fight, but Universa is eventually defeated. The Guardians confront the Sequid threat, and with Mark's help, they save all infected civilians using new technology, though Mark kills Rus Livingston, the final host, to end the danger. 

Elsewhere, Conquest awakens in captivity but easily breaks free and leaves Earth.
