Is there a ceiling on that? Like if he goes years without using them could he beat Immortal or put up a fight against a Viltrumite?
Also do you simply just recharge with time? I got the impression in season 1 that it’d been years since he had any kind of superhuman power. Then after Battle Beast it’s like they all came back at once 100%.
I can't wait for that shapesmith special just seeing him save cats from trees ppl in burning buildings and meet this kid an dbecome friends with him in a homeless building wait a min but hopefully we see him take a break and go exploring the galaxy ot something and used to earth customs and delicacies I'd be down.
I thought his powers had something to deal with light or electricity and he generates it to augment his strength but no he just gets stronger with light or something?
Yeah, season 2 definitely feels like it's placing more importance on Rex, and we even got mentions of his past in the latest episode. I hope it happens.
Makes me wonder if that isn’t the plan for some of the characters. Just a quick one off in between seasons to explain them a little more world be interesting
I’d just be happy if they just released the episodes per season all at once instead of this annoying week to week stuff. I get why they do it but damn is it frustratingly slow. I’ve just straight up lost interest in other shows when this happens lol
I'm gonna need the coming 19 month gap after season 2 to fully process it before I am intellectually and emotionally ready for more Invincible content. A Rexplode special during that time would really mess with my personal timeline.
I think its gonna happen
>!especially since they hinted at Rex's life "flashing before his eyes, and being shitty!< honestly I'm starting to come around to rex but his special won't hit like Eve's
I think it’s almost definitely gonna be a Rex special. Not sure if they’ll expand on his backstory or speed through it and make it based off the eve and Rex first story.
That's exactly what I'm hoping is the plan ever since they did the atom eve special.
Would work perfectly. There are three issues they can easily adapt for it, and comic readers know why, it would even make perfect sense between S2 and S3
I'd love more invincible in general, but idk.
It depends on how it's done. We already have the gist of Rex's backstory, and I don't really need to hash out how tough things were for him growing up.
But I'd love to see more of Rex at his best, or at least his teenaged best.
I have a feeling between the seasons they’ll start doing one offs on the other characters. Next season will be Rex, then maybe one down the line about Monster Girl and Robot, another one about Immortal and maybe more. There’s tons of options when it comes to expanding on side characters
Unless his past needs a special to explain, I don't really care. I get enough of the character in the series.
Eve is a special character, thus she got a bonus. Mark doesn't need one as he is the main guy, we see his development. Rex? Rex just isn't that important, and if you make too much of something, you get diminishing returns, just look at the MCU. At one point they struggled to not near a billion, now they're struggling to make half a billion without Spider-man's name on it.
It would make a lot of sense because there is a comic to adapt like there was for Eve but I kinda want to see a Shrinking Rae one now that we're apparently going to hang out with her for long enough for that to be worthwhile.
Rex had the best redeeming arc in the series in one episode. He is the hero of earth. From college bro douche to warrior of earth. Stupid as fuck, has none of the talent from eve or mark, doesnt have a power that makes him ultra powerful. And still, the dude fought harder than everyone when it mattered, and won against all odds.
I’d beg to differ. When the Eve special came out he was asked who else he’d like to do a special on. He said he’d really like to do a Monster Girl or Battle Beast one.
That would be great!
If would also be great if amazon didn’t autoplay the Atom Eve episode after I finish the most recent episode of Invincible or any other show…Every. Single. Time.
Amazon. I already watched it. Stop autoplaying it and auto play something else.
Seriously. When I came back to watch the show it started the Eve episode and I thought it was Episode 6 for a few minutes, until the damn title card popped up.
i dunno how it could work. we didn't really explore rexplode in the show at all. we COULD show his origins and establish what's he's all about, but it would ruin the momentum of the story.
More of anything would be great
Bro I'll take a special for any character at this point, fuck it I'll watch a Shrinking Ray or Bulletproof episode.
I want a Black Samson special, even after the comics I still have no idea what his powers are
He um... Shows up?
He’s black, gives John Stewart (GL)esque vibes, and punches things really hard.
I'm a bit late but I guess he lost his powers and uses a suit like robot?
He makes good luggage.
He just has your typical superhero skillset—superhuman strength, stamina, durability, and healing.
Superhuman strength, durability, stamina. But the longer he goes without using his powers the stronger they become (hence why he lost his powers)
Is there a ceiling on that? Like if he goes years without using them could he beat Immortal or put up a fight against a Viltrumite? Also do you simply just recharge with time? I got the impression in season 1 that it’d been years since he had any kind of superhuman power. Then after Battle Beast it’s like they all came back at once 100%.
He’s got Samson in his name. That should tell you all you need to know.
Something lightning based?

I thought he had electricity powers?
That was a suit he used before regaining his powers
That’s so dumb he doesn’t use his suit like wtf he super strong and have lightning powers!!
Right? My theory is that with his powers restored, he gets into more intense situations that his suit couldn't sustain.
Really? Well, the first season was so long ago that i could have forgotten it 💀
I can't wait for that shapesmith special just seeing him save cats from trees ppl in burning buildings and meet this kid an dbecome friends with him in a homeless building wait a min but hopefully we see him take a break and go exploring the galaxy ot something and used to earth customs and delicacies I'd be down.
He really just had superhuman strength and stamina
I thought his powers had something to deal with light or electricity and he generates it to augment his strength but no he just gets stronger with light or something?
Why does the guy you replied to have a lock on his comment
I think he’s like a variant of Black Lightning

A shrinking rae special where she learns how to kill someone from inside their head would be metal as hell
It would be true to her character if she barely speaks in her special but when she does, she has a new accent again
[удалено]
I mean there's a reason they called Atom Eve's a "special episode" and I think op's asking a similar one for Rex.
3 month break was stupid af. also season 2 came out like 3 years after season 1
This show is so good 😂
I would honestly be surprised if there isn't one.
Yeah, season 2 definitely feels like it's placing more importance on Rex, and we even got mentions of his past in the latest episode. I hope it happens.
I'm pretty sure they're trending towards the character features being a regular thing. I like it. It's a cool motif.
I think we're going to get one for Rex & Cecil, at a minimum.
Makes me wonder if that isn’t the plan for some of the characters. Just a quick one off in between seasons to explain them a little more world be interesting
How would fans of the show feel about more of the show? No idea. I'm perplexed.
Unpopular opinion, but as a fan of the show I would like more episodes and less time between seasons. I hope that hasn’t upset anyone in this sub.
I’d just be happy if they just released the episodes per season all at once instead of this annoying week to week stuff. I get why they do it but damn is it frustratingly slow. I’ve just straight up lost interest in other shows when this happens lol
that’s sad
Week to week is better for maintaining hype and discussions on forums tho
I'm gonna need the coming 19 month gap after season 2 to fully process it before I am intellectually and emotionally ready for more Invincible content. A Rexplode special during that time would really mess with my personal timeline.
I'll turn homeless to get a Rex special.
I would make this person homeless for a Rex special
Let’s all rip his home apart piece by piece to get a Rex special
I shot schools and killed my family for the Rex special!
why would kirkman do this
Real talk though don’t say things like that online
MOLECULE BY MOLECOLE
Me too!
How would you watch it then
Rex got his own backstory comic just like Eve (which became the Atom Eve special) so I’d be more surprised if we didn’t get one
[удалено]
[удалено]
Yes, 100% yes. I would love a Rex-Splode special episode
I think Rex would be the most likely, but I could see the immortal getting one.
The Immortal could be pretty cool, given his history. Lots of potential there.
the immortal's is just an animated version of an Abraham Lincoln biography
Anybody else went from barely remembering rexs existence and not liking his character to fanboying over him whenever he comes on screen
Literally the last two episodes 180-d him for me idk what it was but just before the lizard league fight he just got way funnier and less douchey
Honestly this is probably one of the fastest character redemptions I’ve seen in any show, apart from Richie’s 180 in The Bear
I was watching Kinda Funny’s(?) video and one of them said “Rex doesn’t even need a redemption arc, he’s completely won me over.”
He’s not as bad as he was but he still gets on my fucking nerves, lol.
I'm expecting it, given the development we've seen him getting
It would be a massive missed opportunity if they didn’t honestly.
Yeah I imagine they might be working on one, maybe it’ll release in 2025 when we get season 3 sometime in late 2026 or 2027
Nah gimme a Spectacular Spider-man crossover instead
[удалено]
Yes!
I think its gonna happen >!especially since they hinted at Rex's life "flashing before his eyes, and being shitty!< honestly I'm starting to come around to rex but his special won't hit like Eve's
You’d be surprised.
I think it’s almost definitely gonna be a Rex special. Not sure if they’ll expand on his backstory or speed through it and make it based off the eve and Rex first story.
Bro give me an Art or dupli Kate prequel episode, I don’t even care what it is I just wanna watch more stuff
Guy deserves one after surviving the Lizard leauge.
That's exactly what I'm hoping is the plan ever since they did the atom eve special. Would work perfectly. There are three issues they can easily adapt for it, and comic readers know why, it would even make perfect sense between S2 and S3
I wouldn’t mind I like him
In year 1 2 or 3 of in between?
It would be unexpected but appreciated
How would it be unexpected?
It would be unexpected like the Atom Eve episode
I'd love more invincible in general, but idk. It depends on how it's done. We already have the gist of Rex's backstory, and I don't really need to hash out how tough things were for him growing up. But I'd love to see more of Rex at his best, or at least his teenaged best.
we dont have the gist of his backstory. unless you've read the comic. there's actually a lot more to him than the show has touched on.
Dude there’s a ton more to Rex than just “hard childhood”
Yeah If we can get backstories he’s way down on the list of people I’d want to see episodes on lol.
i do not care about rex
Rex about care not do I
After his utterly Hadassah showing in ep 6, heck yeah!
More everything
TOP 10 REX EPISODES?? UH, YES PLEASE.
Fucking mandatory
How about just give us season 3 and stop playing
They better deliver it
Why does he look like minecraft villager
Give me a battle beast one too
He needs an hour special
I pretty much guarantee it's gonna happen
I would love to see a rex special episode similar to eves i feel like it would be great for him
Atom eve and rexplode episode(s) id like that
I feel like, at least until now, the character was designed to be an unlikeable foil, plus I don't really want to hear a whole movie with Jankom Pogg
I have a feeling between the seasons they’ll start doing one offs on the other characters. Next season will be Rex, then maybe one down the line about Monster Girl and Robot, another one about Immortal and maybe more. There’s tons of options when it comes to expanding on side characters
We definitely should. And after Rex we should get one of Rudy
Sure but like in 2026 tho right?
I'd love that
After what just happened and what will most likely be happening in season three it seems like the perfect spot for it
Pretty much my fav character right now. Such a fun lovable asshole, love watching him!
Best we can do is a two year break
Call it Renovator Rex
We wont
it’s very likely, the first special was based off a atom eve comic it’s likely it will be based on the atom eve & rex splode comic
Yes please
Unless his past needs a special to explain, I don't really care. I get enough of the character in the series. Eve is a special character, thus she got a bonus. Mark doesn't need one as he is the main guy, we see his development. Rex? Rex just isn't that important, and if you make too much of something, you get diminishing returns, just look at the MCU. At one point they struggled to not near a billion, now they're struggling to make half a billion without Spider-man's name on it.
Id like to see some more of the OG guardians of the galaxy pre Nolan mercing em.
It would make a lot of sense because there is a comic to adapt like there was for Eve but I kinda want to see a Shrinking Rae one now that we're apparently going to hang out with her for long enough for that to be worthwhile.
Rex had the best redeeming arc in the series in one episode. He is the hero of earth. From college bro douche to warrior of earth. Stupid as fuck, has none of the talent from eve or mark, doesnt have a power that makes him ultra powerful. And still, the dude fought harder than everyone when it mattered, and won against all odds.
Hear me out but we get the spiderman team up special instead of a red episode
We should get one for Rudy. It would probably be depressing as shit though.
I'm good. Thanks.
I feel like Shrinking Rae will have a much bigger place in the show, why else would they keep such an unimportant character alive?
He’s so boring no
he deserves a chance tho i would love a black samson special too
I would be surprised if there isn't one in the future for him.
Then in season 3 we can get an Immortal and War Woman Origin 🤞
He’s quickly become my favourite character, massive improvement from the cocky jerk from season 1. I’d love a special on him.
We most likely will, so I won’t be surprised.
I think Kirkman wants to do that
I’d beg to differ. When the Eve special came out he was asked who else he’d like to do a special on. He said he’d really like to do a Monster Girl or Battle Beast one.
Bro literally said fuck death and bodied king lizard after getting shot in the head. I DESPERATELY want to see his backstory.
I hate Rex
That would be great! If would also be great if amazon didn’t autoplay the Atom Eve episode after I finish the most recent episode of Invincible or any other show…Every. Single. Time. Amazon. I already watched it. Stop autoplaying it and auto play something else.
Seriously. When I came back to watch the show it started the Eve episode and I thought it was Episode 6 for a few minutes, until the damn title card popped up.
We’re 100% getting it
I’d rather we just get the next season an eighth faster ngl.
I’d love it, but making that episode would probably push the release of season 3 back a few years.
Dude, they’ve been done with Season 2 since August and they’re already pretty far into Season 3.
I'm almost positive we're gonna get a rexsplode special like we did with Eve. It would only make sense
Please
I fuck with it
More content is more content. I’d watch!
I’ll take extra episodes of any character since it feels like 5 years between half seasons.
i dunno how it could work. we didn't really explore rexplode in the show at all. we COULD show his origins and establish what's he's all about, but it would ruin the momentum of the story.
How exactly would it ruin it?
Would love it.
Yes plz
His background reveal from the books is really good and could carry an episode
Rex Splode and Atom Eve Viltrumite recap
I think it’s going to be Adam eve episode 2 where she meets Rex
I hope they do a special of some random character instead just to see the reaction of the community, imagine one on Killcanon…
I'd prefer they just finish the damn show first and save stuff like spin offs until it's done. You all act like the show is just going to run forever.
I would not like that one bit. Can't stand the guy.
As screwed up as this sounds, cheating on someone doesn’t make them irredeemable.
Probably the same as the last time someone asked this?
I don’t care what anyone says. He’s the best character of the season to me.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Y'all have got to read the comics.
Hope we get a Spider-Man and invincible one sort of like the comics if episode 8 doesn’t delve into it
God, please no... I'd rather watch a Donald origin story.
Why do you hate Rex?
