Background[]
Cecil fights Knuckleduster.
Originally a field agent working for the G.D.A, Cecil was horrifically scarred while trying to stop Forcefist and Knucklebuster's terrorist attack. Although the GDA was able to restore his skin completely, Cecil chose to keep the scar on the right side of his face (which was the only salvageable part) as a reminder of his failure.
Cecil recovers from the GDA and meets up with his commander: Radcliffe.
Later, during the Lizard League's attack on the Pentagon, Cecil and the Director Radcliffe were saved from Komodo Dragon by none other than Forcefist and Knucklebuster, now revealed to be working for the GDA. Although Radcliffe argues that their talents were too valuable to waste, Cecil is disgusted by this and murders the pair in cold blood, for which he is imprisoned for three years.
Cecil meets with Nolan and tells him that he is member of the Viltrum Empire.
Cecil along with Donald and others on the recent arrival of Nolan.
Despite being incarcerated with supervillains, Cecil brings order to the facility and drastically reduces the mortality rate. For this, he is released and given the position of director of the GDA. Not long after, Omni-Man arrives to Earth, so Cecil goes to treat with him. Although Cecil doesn't believe Omni-Man's claims of benevolent assistance, he pragmatically chooses to allow him to help Earth, while he develops countermeasures against him.
Whenever Donald was killed, Cecil and the GDA would bring him back to life and erase his memory of death at his request.
At another point, Cecil met another agent Brit, who was also friends with Donald.
High Alert[]
In the present era, he and the GDA led an operation to check out the Guardians of the Globe he where they find them all dead, and Omni-Man lays next to them, injured as well. A door opens and invisible agents arrive at the scene, followed by paramedics, who are shocked and disgusted. They find Omni-Man is alive and move the bodies out from the room. Cecil mentions he had never seen anything like it and bangs his fist against a table in a rage.
When Debbie Grayson and Mark make it to Nolan's room, where they see Nolan laying without responding. Cecil introduces himself and tells them that they have no idea who did it. Debbie tells him that he has some nerve, but he tells them that the Guardians had been murdered and they were unable to bring them back with Nolan being the only survivor. Cecil tells them that the news would eventually spread, but he wanted them to know first. Debbie asks for materials and refuses to leave Nolan, mentioning that she had patched him up for twenty years. Donald gets a report that there was an undergoing attack with multiple casualties and Mark leaves to go help out.
The Flaxan Invasions[]
Cecil and Robot realized that the Flaxans had been dying thanks to their rapidly advancing age.
After Teen Team fought the Flaxans, Cecil tells Robot that they had done well, but had not achieved a victory since 338 people had died. Robot reveals that the aliens called themselves The Flaxans and had six ideas as to why they had left. However, he saw a tank that The Flaxans had used and noted that the alloy of which the tank was comprised should take years to corrode and oxidize, which meant that time ran faster where they came from. Cecil asks how Invincible had done, and while Robot thinks that he has promise, he mentions that he seems unprepared. Cecil says that he would need his help, and leaves.
Cecil asks Donald for some good news, but he tells his boss that whoever had killed the Guardians had turned off the cameras and security systems. Cecil complains that what he had said was not good news and tells everybody to get out. He tells the demon detective Damien Darkblood to reveal himself. Darkblood looks around and tells Cecil everything he knows. Cecil tells Darkblood to have at it and let him know if he needs help.
Later, when Allen the Alien visited, Cecil went to Omni-Man and his family and told them that they had seen somebody from Mars approaching Earth. Debbie refused to let Omni-Man do it, so Mark offered to do it himself. Nolan told him to knock some sense into the guy and send him back where he came from.
Nolan told Cecil what he remembered from the night the Guardians were killed, but Cecil remained skeptical.
While Mark fights Allen, Nolan tells Cecil what he remembers from the night the Guardians were killed. He tells him that he had gotten a distress call from the Guardians, but everything seemed fine when he had gotten there. However, the lights had gone out and he fought against the enemy until he passed out. Cecil is not convinced and says that he had never seen Nolan lose like that, but believed that somebody was acting clever.
New Potential[]
At the Guardians' funeral Cecil calls Robot, and told him that he ran a mean superhero team. Robot thanked him, and Cecil offered him a job at the GDA so he could build him a new Guardians of the Globe, only answering to him. Robot asked if Omni-Man would not be the better choice, but Cecil mentioned that after a decade of trying to make him an official Guardian, he still refused to take orders from him.
Amber and Mark have a date, who picks up at book William had brought. Mark nervously introduced himself as a comic fan. Amber asks which his favorite is, so Mark starts talking about them. Amber asks if she can borrow one, which Mark agrees to. Mark's phone rings and he hangs up, but he is called once again, so he turns his phone off. He is surprised when he is called yet again, so he picks up and Cecil pops out from his phone, relieved that Amber had left.
Mark asks Cecil if he had been spying on him, but Cecil tells him that if he wants to be a hero, privacy is not an option. Mark points out that he did not even work for him, but Cecil counters by telling him he never would if he never showed respect or decided if he wanted to be a hero. Mark is forced to decide then, and he says he does want to be a hero. Cecil hands him a comm device and tells him Eve would be there as well. Cecil tells him that he needs to go to Mount Rushmore, which Mark does not know where to find. His boss complains that schools did not teach enough and leaves. Amber walks back in and Mark makes up a lame excuse to leave. As Debbie walked in with snacks, Mark smiled nervously and left.
Invincible and Atom Eve flew towards Mount Rushmore. As they did, Cecil told them that he would not be asking for their help, but Omni-Man was busy and the new Guardians were a shitshow. He tells them their target was Doc Seismic, who was doing things which made no sense. They believe that the gloves causes him a concussion every time he uses them.
Donald tells Cecil that the monster that Omni-Man had taken care of was impressive, since it was not an easy battle and added that the beast might not be dead. Cecil told him to put it on ice.
As Debbie cooked dinner, Nolan threw a piece of the monster, asking if she wanted calamari. She tells him to get it off the counter while laughing and asks if he had called Cecil about putting some protection on the house, but he tells her he had been busy, but would do it later. He told her that he was a badass since he had defeated a kaiju and she told him that she was one as well, since she had sold a house that had a double homicide.
Cecil asks Robot for an update on the team. Robot tells him that they have work to do, but he feels confident on what they had done so far.
Robot is interrupted from watching the Mauler Twin work by Rex, who welcomes him to the new Guardian's new digs. Black Samson mentions it is good to be home again, which annoys Rex since he does not enjoy hearing him say he was an original member of the Guardians of the Globe. Monster Girl tells Robot she is nervous, and Robot tells her that he is as well. Cecil walks in and tells them to not be surprised since it was their job. Rex tells him that he had missed a spot when cleaning blood, but Cecil tells them that he had left that there as a reminder and would get cleaned off when they proved themselves to be worthy of the heroes that had come before. He is radioed, told that Omni-Man wanted to see him, so he leaves. Monster Girl asks Rex if they are cool and he says they are since she had beaten him up in front of assholes. Robot walks up to Rex and tells him not to let his personal life to meddle with his professional one since it was his fault they were alienating Atom Eve and did not want it to happen with Monster Girl. Rex tells him that when he grew a pair, then he could tell him how to swing his. However, Robot mentions that he was giving him an order, patting him on the shoulder with a needle which slightly hurt Rex.
Clues to the Murderer[]
Amber and Mark head back to the former's home. She tells him to plan the date next time, which he likes. The two lean in for a kiss and Mark flies into the sky happily and heads back home. He finds Cecil and his parents talking about NASA's first manned mission to Mars and needed Nolan to shadow the mission so that nothing went wrong, but Nolan would not do it since he needed to train his son and was needed on Earth with the Guardians gone. Cecil tells Nolan that Earth needed a win, but Nolan tells him that nobody would care about Mars if there was an attack on Earth, saying that his priority was his family and the planet.

Mark says yes to the Mars mission
Mark volunteers, saying that the same had happened last time, but Nolan tells him that that was the moon, which hardly counts as space. He added that his responsibilities were bigger than four astronauts. Cecil says that if Mark wanted to go, he would be doing a great favor, so Nolan asked Debbie for support. She says that she does not like Mark missing school, but it would be for a good cause. Mark says that he could go to Mars and back in a second and Nolan mentions that the fact that he did not know how far Mars was was exactly why he should go to school. Cecil tells Mark that it was a two week mission, and Mark agrees with his father, saying that he was not ready and had things going well with Amber. Debbie tells Mark that many people would tell him how to use his powers, but it would be up to him to make those decisions. After that, Mark agrees to go, so Cecil tells him to pack a lunch since he would be leaving the next day.
Cecil teleports into the house in front of the Grayson's, and Donald asks how Mark going would help them with investigating Omni-Man. Cecil simply responds that sending Mark would give them a chance to see what Mark could do and if his heart was in the right place.
In space, Cecil told Invincible that he almost did not make it, but needed him to stay out of sight unless something went wrong and also needed him on the mission for the Martians, who lived underground and kept to themselves.
Back at the Grayson's, an orchid freezes as Damien Darkblood shows up and looks around. He takes notes and sees Cecil is there as well with cops, who point guns at the demon. Cecil tells Darkblood that Nolan had warned them about him.
At the Pentagon, Cecil and the officers took Darkblood through a hallway. Cecil told him that when they had searched his office, they had found dried blood. He tells him that it was planted since he did not try to kill Nolan or the Guardians. Cecil tells him he knows, but had to excise him anyway since he had not dropped the case when he told him to. Darkblood told him he could not do it since he had destroyed the book centuries ago, but Cecil told him they had it once again. Donald starts the ritual and Cecil told him that he needed to not see things so black and white, instead needing to know why Nolan had killed the guardians and how to stop him. Darkblood is grabbed by chains and taken back to hell.
After a devastating battle Invincible and the Guardians faced against Machine Head, GDA doctors look at Mark and mention he was losing too much blood. Cecil arrives at the scene and is horrified by what he sees. He tells the doctors to save him since they needed Invincible, but also tells them to get a blood sample just in case.
Cecil took Machine Head's chip before dragging him away.
Machine Head is dragged away, but before he leaves the room, Cecil opens his head and takes the stolen chip.
Nolan asks Cecil if Darkblood had cracked yet, but Cecil tells him that Darkblood is stubborn. When asked if Darkblood had murdered the Guardians, Cecil says that they do not know, but he wondered why he would even do it in the first place. Omni-Man tells him that Darkblood is a demon. Cecil asks if Mark had not told him that he would be taking on Machine Head by himself and is surprised to see Mark does not listen to Nolan, which is normal for teenagers from Earth.

Cecil and his team arrived.
When Invincible fights D.A. Sinclair, he is thrown around while William tries talking to Rick, remembering how they had had sex before. Sinclair starts cutting William's arm, which makes Rick recognize William and remove part of his helmet, so he could help Invincible. Sinclair tries escaping, but William chases him and punches him in the face repeatedly. When he gets up, Mark punches him again, fracturing his jaw.
Invincible apologizes to Cecil for having punched Sinclair like that, but he understands and tells him he would lock Sinclair up, while doing his best for the humans who had been experimented on.
Throwing all Gauntlets[]
Cecil told Debbie that Mark might be their only hope at stopping Nolan.
Debbie makes it to the GDA, where she asks Cecil why he had kept Nolan's secret from her. Cecil tells her that he could not risk Nolan finding out they knew until they knew what he was doing and how they could stop him. He says that there might be only one person who could fight Omni-Man. He asks her where Mark is, but she tells him it would not happen.
Debbie and Cecil watched the house blow up from the GDA. Debbie realizes Nolan would find Mark and says that she does not know what he will do. Cecil tells her that they needed to find Mark before Nolan did.
Cecil tells the Guardians to be quiet and sit tight until they were called. Rex is desperate and says they needed to know what was happening, which Black Samson agrees with. He asks if Robot can find out, but Robot did not respond. Rex hits the robot on the head until they are approached by the new Robot. He presents himself as Rudolph Connors, saying robot was simply a drone he controlled remotely. Kate asks how they could know he was telling the truth and Robot says they could ask him anything. Rex asks why he looked like him, but Robot told him to wait.
The GDA found that Mark was flying with Eve, but also saw that Omni-Man was six minutes away from Mark's location, which worries Cecil. Debbie asks why he could not use his teleporter, and Cecil explains that they need to wear a bracelet and that it cannot do all of them at once. He says they need to buy some time.
Nolan flies, but is struck down by an enormous beam of light coming from a satellite in space, which manages to bring him down and many animals around him. However, he soon gets up once again, resisting the beam's energy and destroying the satellite. Cecil comments that 400 billion dollars had just been used on a nosebleed. Omni-Man went back to going after Mark and Eve while Cecil told them he would use his teleporter.
Mark and Eve hear the explosion and Eve tells him that they should call Cecil. He tells her that it was not their problem anymore, since she had run away from Rex and being a superhero. However, she tells him that she did not ignore the world when it needed her. He says that the world was fine without him, but she tells him that he should do something to help and leaves.
Cecil tried to slow Nolan down when going on his way to meet Mark.
Nolan is shot at by Cecil. He tries to grab him, but disappears just before Nolan grabs him. Nolan tells him to keep out of it but Cecil says that he could not do that, asking why he had killed the Guardians. He tells him that he never needed their help since they were weak, but Cecil points out that they had been his friends as he had once and suggests that there had to be a reason. He tells her that Debbie deserved an answer and tells Nolan that he had fooled her and all of them during 20 years. He asks Nolan if Mark knows, which worries him, but Nolan realizes Cecil was just wasting his time. Cecil then calls Nolan a lying piece of shit and leaves not before Omni-man gets most of his red tie.
When Cecil leaves, Nolan is attacked by Sinclair's cyborgs, which put up a fight with him as he tries to get them off. He fights the monsters and rips them apart.
Cecil, DA Sinclair and Debbie watch Nolan's fight in horror as he starts ripping the bodies apart. Agents also tell Cecil that Eve and Mark were moving towards Nolan's location, which worries Cecil. When Nolan defeats the fallen soldiers, he places the camera inside their guts which makes people at the GDA retch in disgust and makes Sinclair angry.
While Cecil knew Nolan had already fought the huge monster, he added a few upgrades.
Nolan faces another monster on his way to Mark, which he tells Cecil he had defeated already. Cecil, however, told him the monster now felt no pain and was now juiced up with every drug, enhancement and upgrade available. Two news helicopters went to Omni-Man's fight.
The Guardians say they should help, but Cecil tells them to stay where they are until he told them to move because if nothing went well, they would be their last hope against Omni-Man. Rex is confused, but everybody confirms they heard what he did and they remember what had happened to The Immortal.
Nolan fights the monster, while Debbie tells Cecil to call Eve's phone since she was with Mark again.
As Nolan was about to be eaten, Mark punches the creature and sends it flying. Eve gets called by Debbie and asks what was happening. Nolan awoke and Mark happily told him it was about time they teamed up together. When the creature rose, Cecil tells Eve not to help them and get to Guardians HQ.
Mark and Nolan had a hard time facing the creature sent by Cecil.
Mark and Nolan had a hard time with the creature. Debbie tells him to call it off, but Cecil says he could not do that since Mark could be allies with his father. After that, Debbie mentions that that was why she had always hated him, which Cecil sympathizes with.
Cecil is told that a new object was approaching Omni-Man's location, turning out to be The Immortal, who immediately starts hitting him furiously. Omni-Man catches one of his punches and mentions that he should have stayed dead, sending him back. Soon after, he rips The Immortal apart.
Cecil tracks Nolan and Mark as they fight, and Debbie tells him that they needed to stop them both from killing one another. When asked what they could do, Cecil admits that they could not do much to stop Nolan except distract him until Mark thought of something.
Once the battle finishes, a helicopter reaches Mark's location, where he lies without responding. Debbie and Cecil get off the helicopter as well.
Cecil told Debbie how he and the GDA would help her after Omni-Man's attack.
When Debbie leaves the hospital room, she starts crying until Cecil approaches her, telling her they wanted to keep Omni-Man's secret identity so that she and Mark would be safe. He tells her that Nolan Grayson had died when the house across the street exploded from a gas leak and while Nolan's travel books always sold well, there would be a significant spike after his death, which would leave her and Mark good with money. He tells her that her life and Mark's would go back to somewhat normal, and she tells him that everything he was doing was very kind. He tells her that Nolan had been acting in secret and he had never seen it, so he was trying to make things as right as possible.
Cecil tells Mark he had done a good job and wished it had been a dream, but would let Mark leave in two days. Mark tells Cecil he had seen his father fly away and asks where he had gone. He asks Cecil if he would tell him what had happened, but Cecil told him it depended on whether he wanted to be a hero or not anymore, but Mark did not know the answer.
He follows Cecil into a white room, where he tells Mark that Debbie had heard everything. Mark asks how he could have let his mother hear everything, but admitted she deserved to know the truth. He tells Mark both him and Debbie knew about what Nolan had done to the Guardians, but they were waiting to see if there was a good reason behind it. Nolan asks where they were and Mark finds they are in a lab, where Immortal is being brought back to life. He tells Mark that nobody had the ability to see the things in the room and tells him that they needed a replacement for Omni-Man. However, Mark tells him that he could not do it yet even as Cecil tried to convince him.
Cecil takes Mark and Debbie back home and tells them that he had called their school and work explaining everything, telling them if they needed anything else, to let him know.
Later, Mark gets a call and leaves as Cecil tells him he needs him. Cecil tells him that something was flying towards them from deep space.
Cecil is later overseeing the construction of more upgraded ReAnimen by D.A. Sinclair as a Viltrumite countermeasure.
Chain of Command[]
At Burger Mart, Mark meets up with Cecil who asks him to give him a mission, but Cecil denies it, saying he is in the hot water and must boil down to return back on the field.
Meanwhile Cecil learns the Guardians fail to stop a giant, and bolsters Immortal and Bulletproof into their ranks.
at night Mark meets up with Cecil, making a deal, he will let him make all commands and orders, as long he has can be brought back to mission, luckily he was brought to a new mission, where he learned the Mauler Twins are freed and working with an unknown assailant with a machine.

As the smoke clears, Mark emerges the victor but is still horrified, muttering "not again" upon noticing the corpse of Mauler Twins. Rex Splode along with the guardians arrive, and him of all people remark to Mark that he stopped their plan in a spectular fashion in a way. Mark is also told by Cecil to stop fretting over the Maulers and their assailant's fate and is told to return home, meanwhile Cecil enlists Immortal to begin a clean sweep of the wreckage.

Invincible goes to space with Nuozlot and tells Cecil that he'll back in half a month, but Cecil denies it, being illogical to go with Nuozlot to space, Mark reminds Cecil that this is a chance to save lives, and Cecil orders Mark one last time to listen to him and stay on earth, but Mark says he needs to listen to himself first, with Cecil saying Nolan had said similar, with Mark blowing him off, saying he will check in later and throws his ear piece into the sky. Cecil slams his fist on the wall, irriatated by Mark's decision.
Cecil later meets with Debbie to remove all memories of Nolan, cutting ties with the funding for her family and house from the GDA and Nolan's books, while Debbie claims she doesn't need Cecil's support anymore. Cecil thinks she's making a mistake.
Mark would vanish for 2 months, and Cecil had call upon various heroes to deal with worldwide events, and Cecil would also discover one of the guardians is of Martian origin.
Donald would eventually realize that he was not an actual human and confronted Cecil over it.
Cecil and Donald were forced to put it aside, as reports from the GDA confirmed that the Sequids are inbound to earth, and Cecil summons the guardians and the team discover Shapesmith is a martian and a liar.
Cecil also enlists Mark who has returned to earth, to go help the guardians. However Cecil then summons Rex, Rae, and Kate to stopping the Lizard League who took over a silo.

Donald then decides to also quit, instead having owed him the truth in part to his service, Cecil provided Donald with footage of all of his deaths while serving the GDA; being crushed by a monster, dying in an explosion while trying to rescue survivors, to name a few. Eventually, he came to terms with what he had signed up for and agreed to continue helping Cecil.
Cecil then learns that Anissa a Viltrumite femme fatale, has come to Earth in an attempt to enlist Mark. To see if she is stronger than she looks, he sends Anissa and Mark to take down a kajiu.
Anissa quickly dispatches the kaiju, and learns Mark is not going to obey the Viltrum Empire. Anissa defeats Mark and Cecil gets an idea from Donald to tell Mark that he needs to agree or else but he does not. Anissa does leave and Cecil arrives to the crater, and tells Mark that it was suicide to not say yes, for this punishment, Mark who was given some weeks off of work, is now going to work during those off weeks 24/7.
After the incident by Angstrom Levy, Cecil learns that Debbie is in trouble and hurt, the GDA take her and Oliver to their hospital, where Mark who returns from killing Angstrom and is told by Cecil to come to the hospital and is thanked by Mark for taking care of them.

Post-Assault on the Graysons[]
Rising Tensions[]
Because of certain events with Anissa, and Angstrom Levy, For the next 90 days, Cecil has increased his training and even weight training to make him capable against the next attacks on earth, especially Viltrum's "Mr Ten Times Worse".
Turning Point[]
Cecil is at the central command of the Pentagon and asks for updates on the general situation, he rules out a city with undrinkable water, earthquakes in various locations, noises in some caves heard by children, three subway derailments in New York of unknown origin and finally more than 300 geological events in major cities, Cecil is sarcastic by stating that "the country have taken measles" and then asks about Doc Seismic and it is confirmed that he is locked up, Cecil is about to leave when Donald stops him and reveals something to him, Oliver Grayson, Mark's half-brother, has manifested his viltrumite powers, to which Cecil responds disconcerted by stating to Donald that he should have started from that.

Cecil suggests that Debbie take Oliver to the Pentagon for a few hours a day to monitor his superpowers and help him control them, Debbie is annoyed by Cecil's statement, and says that she will not take Oliver to that "lab", she says that she understands that Cecil has a job to do, but she also knows that everything else is secondary in comparison, and for this reason she cannot trust him with the lives of Mark or Oliver, and Cecil points out that there are others who have sons and daughters less fortunate than his boys, then he receives a call informing him that every superhero in America except Mark and Eve have disappeared.
Invincible's Defection[]
Cecil's trump card.
After defeating Doc Seismic, Darkwing II informs Cecil that Invincible is coming, Cecil waits for Mark in his office, Mark enters angrily asking Cecil if he works with D.A. Sinclair, Cecil asks him to calm down and Mark lists Sinclair's crimes stating that he should be in prison, Cecil states that Sinclair can't fix his mistakes if he's in prison, and neither can Darkwing, he states that Sinclair is a Genius and Darkwing fought crime in Midnight City, he says that talents like that are not wasted, but are reformed, repaired and left to fix their mistakes, Mark doesn't understand however, stating that they killed people and that Rick is still hurting after what Sinclair did to him, Cecil informs that the new ReAnimen are donated bodies and that Darkwing will not kill anymore, having both undergone massive psychological reprogramming, they now save lives and that they are repaying the debt they owe to them, Mark states that this is bullshit, but Cecil points out that he killed Angstrom Levy, and Mark states that he was different and that he feels guilty for it, and that he had tried to kill Debbie and Oliver, Cecil says that Mark was saving lives which is the same thing that is doing so, then asks him to go home and Mark says that he will not go anywhere until Sinclair and Darkwing II are in prison, Cecil is sorry about this and enters a completely white room, Mark follows him and asks him if he understood, Cecil tries to convince him to go home, but Mark does not want to give up until he notices the room, asks where they are and Cecil says that the "White Room" is to protect him, when he asks him from what Cecil replies bitterly "From you Mark. From you", suddenly five ReAnimen appear around him.
Mark is confused and angry, Cecil says that his duty is to protect the planet from threats and asks Mark not to be included in that category, other ReAnimans appear and Mark asks if he uses them to keep Darkwing or Sinclair in line, and Cecil says that they don't have his abilities, Mark replies that he only uses his abilities to help people, Cecil then asks who he would be helping at that moment, then he states that Mark sees things his own way, he leaves no room for other points of view and threatens anyone who disagrees with him, Mark angrily states that he doesn't threaten, but Cecil states that she's pissing him off, Mark states that he's not doing anything and tries to get closer, but is grabbed by the arm by a ReAniman, Mark asks him if he thinks he can shut him up, Cecil tries to talk, but at that moment Mark blows the jaw off of the ReAniman that was holding him back, the other ReAnimans attack him, but he defeats them all while Cecil tries to reason with him, when he has them with everyone defeated, he asks Cecil if it was his best, and Cecil asks him sorry why he asked him that, suddenly the room turns red and hundreds of ReAnimen appear around them, Cecil asks Mark one last time to stop, but Mark is unyielding, Cecil says that he doesn't want to hurt him and Mark threateningly states that he won't be the one to get hurt, Cecil says that Mark had said he wasn't threatening and Mark simply states that people change, Cecil warns Mark not to do it, but Mark launches into the attack, at which point Cecil presses a button and Mark is stunned by a sound, Cecil reveals that the sound is that of the giant lobster that Mark had imprisoned in Atlantis, and that it comes from his earpiece, Mark then tears it off and throws it away, but Cecil reveals that they implanted an earpiece deep into his head when he was in the hospital, Cecil disables the sound and asks Mark to be reasonable and go home, but Mark states that time to be reasonable and finished, so he takes off out of the Pentagon, but is stunned by the sound again and falls down landing near the Pentagon, Cecil informs him that the sound throws off his orientation, preventing him from flying or walking, Mark states in shock that they put a weapon inside him, Cecil states that it was obvious they did that seeing what he could do and what happened with his father, Mark says that he said he wasn't his father, asking him if he really believed it, Cecil says yes and tries to explain himself but Mark takes off again in an unknown direction, Cecil follows him and when he understands where he is going he reactivates the device.

As he thinks back to his past, he is woken up by Donald who asks him what he was saying, he replies that Darkwing will be fine and to forget it, when Donald asks to be invincible, Cecil repeats the line that Radcliffe had told him in prison years before, "We can be the good guys, or we can be the guys who save the world. We can't be both."

After Angstrom returned with numerous evil Invincibles, Cecil and the GDA were put on high alert in order to protect the planet from the new threat. He and Donald were attacked by Flaxan Invincible in the Pentagon, and though both were badly beaten, the ReAnimen provided by Sinclair eventually killed Flaxan Invincible. As the ReAnimen beat the remains, Cecil ordered them to stop while Donald informed him that he believed that not all of the evil Invincibles were strong as theirs before looking back at the carnage wrought. Cecil ordered Donald to get more noise emitters made, but Donald told him that the engineering bay had been destroyed in the attack. He then told him to call the other heroes to help against the threat.
When Omni-Invincible broke Eve's legs, Mark was distracted about tending to her injuries and fighting his evil doppelgangers when several ReAnimen emerged from a portal and began pummeling the duo. Through a drone, Cecil ordered Mark to get Eve to safety, who brought her to a hospital.

Advent of Conquest/Post-Invincible War[]
As the evil Invincibles left as fast as they appeared, Cecil had the GDA collect as many intact bodies they could find, acquiring at least five bodies; Flaxan, Bulletproof Invincible, Mustache Invincible, Long Haired Invincible and Light Invincible, where Sinclair and his team were working to convert them into ReAnimen. Suddenly, reports came in of a Viltrumite warrior fighting Mark, and Cecil ordered the team to hasten their work. Sinclair told them that they were not even close to getting them out on a field test, as their muscles were as dense as rock and they had to make new tools in order to cut through them. Frustrated, Cecil simply told them to continue working before he left.
Cecil and two medics arrived at the battle scene where they found Oliver badly injured after trying to assist Mark in fighting conquest. Cecil quickly ordered his people to prepare the young hero for medical evacuation. His attention was then directed to the ongoing battle between the two Viltrumites, leaving him praying to God for help.
Aftermath[]
Cecil's illogical plan to stop the Viltrumites.
Cecil and a few other heroes later teleported to Mark and Eve's location in the aftermath of the battle. He had Conquest taken deep underground, hoping to interrogate the Viltrumite once he regained consciousness. Mark later asked to see his body and then burn it, but Cecil had managed to acquire a convincing body double.
