Angstrom Levy is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Robot) of Robert Kirkman's Image Comics series Invincible. He is the arch-nemesis of Mark Grayson, aka Invincible. Once an altruist who only desired to help people, he was driven to madness after an altercation with the hero left him physically deformed and mentally scarred. He swore vengeance on Invincible ever since.
He initially only had the ability the open portals into different universes, and outside that, he was normal man of average strength. However, after receiving some enhancements from a handful of surgeons in a different universe, his strength and durability allowed him to go toe-to-toe with Invincible himself.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- Even before his accident he was perfectly willing to do some morally dubious activities in order to fulfill his dream of creating a utopia. This included releasing the Mauler Twins from prison, recklessly conducting a dangerous experiment without any authorization, and sending several alternate versions of the Mauler Twins to incapacitate Invincible.
- After his experiment went wrong and he was left looking like a monster, he blamed everything on Invincible despite it being his own fault for running the experiment in the first place and causing it to fail by taking off his equipment too early. Even one of the Mauler Twins called him out on this. As well, by taking off his equipment too early, he accidentally killed all of the alternate versions of himself, the Mauler Twins and their doppelgängers (leaving only one alive but disfigured).
- He kidnapped Debbie and Oliver Grayson, threatening to murder them if Invincible didn't come to fight. When Debbie hit Levy with a vase, he broke her arm and threatened Oliver.
- He sent Invincible to several different universes before attempting to kill him himself. However, Invincible accidentally used too much strength in their fight and was believed to have killed Angstrom. If the future variants of the Guardians of the Globe did not rescue him, Invincible would have been stuck there for the rest of his life.
- Upon being reconstructed, he gathered dozens of evil Mark Grayson variants and promised them anything they wanted in return for them creating as much destruction as possible on the main universe's Earth. This led to millions of deaths, including Invincible's friend and fellow hero Rex Splode.
- He betrayed the alternate Invincibles' and stranded them in the wasteland dimension, leading to them cannibalizing each other to stay alive.
- After causing so much death and misery, he was the person who finally pushed Invincible to kill villains, when necessary, possibly making him indirectly responsible for the darker path the hero went down when teaming up with Dinosaurus.
- He kidnapped a pregnant Atom Eve and used her as bait to lure in Invincible and once again sent him to the wasteland dimension where he was left to fight a cannibalistic version of himself.
- While he behaves fatherly towards his drones, this isn’t preventing considering the drones aren’t confirmed to be sentient. He also made them, so his treatment of them is attributable to his own ego.
- His actions posthumously left his son to become equally vengeful and seek to avenge his father’s death in the future, a conflict that remained inconclusive by the time the comic ended.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He is genuinely tragic due to the physical and psychological deformities he received from his failed experiment. Before the accident, he was a good person who only wanted the best for his fellow humans. While his predicament was partly his own fault for being so reckless with his experiment, it was set up with good intentions, and the only reason it failed was that he interfered with it in an attempt to save Invincible from the Maulers.
- He has moral agency issues since his mind is a chaotic amalgam of all the memories of his alternate-universe counterparts, many of whom had experiences with a villainous version of Invincible. This makes his hatred of the hero, while misplaced, somewhat understandable as his interpretation of him is heavily warped.
- When Eve calls him out for wasting so much time getting revenge on Invincible instead of helping people, along with reminding him of the person he used to be when he saved Mark’s life, he feels remorse for his crimes and attempts to surrender before being abducted by Mohawk Mark after he tried to send him home.
- This would later lead to his redemption as, after rediscovering his humanity, he refused to give the evil Mark Grayson access to other dimensions to conquer despite being tortured for it relentlessly.
- His torture at the hands of Mohawk Mark and death via Robot were played for sympathy. Even the Mainline Invincible was horrified when he saw what had become of Angstrom.
