Invincible fans are scared of what’s next after spotting Anissa in trailer
Invincible fans excited for Season 2 Part 2 noticed the Viltrumite warrior Anissa in the comics, and they’re terrified of what that means is coming to the show.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the second half of Invincible Season 2, witha Part 2 trailerrecently hitting YouTube.
There’s plenty of action to be found in the trailer, with Mark and the Guardiansfacing off against Angstrom Levy and a Squid invasion. But the big tease is obviously the promise of the upcoming Viltrumite invasion.
Invincible fans aren’t really worried about that, though. Instead, they’re reacting to a very specific and infamous character from the comics who appears in the trailer.
Invincible comic fans know what Anissa’s arrival in Invincible means
Eagle-eyed fans noted what appears to be Mark in a fight with Anissa, a character who appeared in several issues of Invincible.
While fans unfamiliar with the comics may not know her, those who do had a notably shocked reaction.

First showing upInvincible #44, Anissa is a Viltrumite warrior who is sent to Earth to check Mark’s progress in preparing for invasion. However, she becomes much more infamous with fans later in the run.
After the Viltrumite War arc of the comics, Anissa eventually joins with Nolan, whom she and other Viltrumites view as their new emperor. However, she also begins to display an increasing attraction to Mark, eventually sexually assaulting him. The event is incredibly traumatic for Mark, who spends much of Invincible’s later issues haunted by the rape.
It’s revealed after a five-year time skip that Anissa had Mark’s son, Marky, and has been working to earn redemption for her actions as a Viltrumite soldier. Though Nolan encourages Mark to forgive her, she is nonetheless killed by Mark’s then-wife, Atom Eve.
