CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE
Invincible: The Blood-Stained Inheritance
MARK GRAYSON THOUGHT it would be simple. His dad was a superhero. One day, he’d get powers too. He’d fly. Save lives. Wear a cool suit. The usual.
Then the powers came. And everything else fell apart.
Being the son of Omni-Man wasn’t a gift. It was a curse. Because Nolan wasn’t just a hero, he was a ticking time bomb. And Mark didn’t just inherit his strength. He inherited the burden of truth.
Invincible was never about glory. It was about survival. Mark trained while getting his ass kicked. He made mistakes that got people killed. He watched teammates die. He watched cities fall. And every time he thought he’d caught his breath, the next hit came even harder.
His father beat him nearly to death. His best friend became a monster. His girlfriend broke under the weight. His mentors lied. His wins came at impossible cost.
And still, he got up.
Mark wasn’t the strongest. He wasn’t the smartest. But he kept standing. Because the real power wasn’t flight or strength or laser eyes, it was heart. It was the refusal to become what his father was. It was looking at a future built on violence and saying, “No”.
He wore the name Invincible. But that was never about his body.
It was about his will.
