Levy's Paradise Lost was a misunderstood event, yet it leads to an ongoing crusade for Angstrom Levy in Invincible, where Invincible attempts to thwart a pacifist's plan to save all of reality. This results in Angstrom's transformation into an unstable monstrous villain, leading him to devise a senseless plan to kill Invincible.
The Plan[]
The Warehouse Harbor..
Angstrom Levy discovered of other realities of himself and began a plan to acquire the knowledge within their minds of different experiences to save all of reality. To do this he needed the help of the Mauler Twins, he tracked down the Mauler Twins and freed them from prison to aid him in transferring the unique knowledge his alternate selves possessed about each of their home dimensions in order to pool medical, technological, and philosophical knowledge for the benefit of all, as the Mauler Twins had knowledge of cloning which far exceeded any of Angstrom's alternate selves. In his time with the twins he considered himself an ethical person, as well as a pacifist, and blessed them with the knowledge of different realities, as well as their own designs of powerful devices from these different realities to complete his goal. The Mauler Twins were convinced to help Levy with a guarantee he would bring them to a new reality of their choosing.
All Wrong[]
By night, the machine was done, but around this time Cecil and the GDA learn that Mauler Twins are out of Prison, and the machine they are building for Levy is supposedly dangerous, he sends Mark who now officially works for Cecil to stop the Mauler Twins upon making a deal. All of the Levys from different realities are all placed in their chairs, and the Twins who are in the process of transferring the memories into Angstrom.
Invincible finds himself in a situation.
Invincible arrives and fights the twins. Angstrom takes notice of this, despite his pleas to stop, Mark attacks the twins and nearly defeats them, Invincible unconvinced by Angstrom's pleas, forces him to summon alternate Mauler Twins.
Invincible is overwhelmed!
Invincible faces against the Mauler army, and at first is successful in defeating most of them, however the Female Mauler Twin leads an attack, that follows by a grotesque Mauler uppercutting him and a cyborg Mauler kicking him, while he's down.
The fools have sealed their fate.
More Maulers assist the Cyborg Mauler, the main Angstrom watch and warn to not get carried away, but Mohawk Mauler tells him to shut up. The Maulers begin to brutalize Invincible, as Angstrom is horrified he urges them to stop, but the Maulers ignore him, as Mark spews up blood. Angstrom, had enough removes his helmet. The Maulers notice this and try to stop them, but the fools instigate their own death as Angstrom deactivates the machine and kills them and his alternative selves.
The Maulers (and Angstroms) die!
As the machine implodes, the Maulers turn into skeletons, and the warehouse implodes, as Mark watches and tries to shield himself.
The rest of the Guardians of the Globe arrive, while Rex Splode and Cecil Stedman reassure Invincible that he was fighting an unprecedented threat, while the latter laments on the outcome of the fight, and believes he think the Maulers shouldn't had died either but Cecil rebukes it and tells Mark he did good as the others in the harbor did this to themselves. Invincible is told to head home while the guardians scope out the wreckage.
The Birth of a Villain[]
One problem solved, only to spit out another.
The GDA continues to search admits the destroyed harbor warehouse and amidst the rubble, one of the original Mauler Twins survives, albeit disfigured. Mauler enraged by Angstrom for removing the helmet, and finds Angstrom who terminator the process early only to horrifically mutated his own body, with his mind currently unable to distinguish between memories. Angstrom, blaming Invincible for his condition, all while remembering the killing sprees that the alternate Invincible's carried out, swears vengeance and leaves through a portal. Mauler is left behind who mutters to Angstrom wherever he is, of the sacrifice he made for his new look, he leaves the wrecked warehouse swearing to never work for anyone else ever again.
Angstrom double-crosses Invincible.
In an alternate reality, a mutated and vengefully embittered Angstrom arrives to an Earth where another evil Mark is placed in a reinforced metal shackle bond by the alternate GDA he asks Marks questions about his current predicament, (unaware that he is gaining information on how to defeat his own alternate selves once and for all). The GDA agents along with different versions of Cecil and Donald arrive to stop Angstrom, but he does not come for a fight, and merely leaves, leaving the Evil Mark hysterically demanding his presence to return.
Mauler kills King Mauler.
Elsewhere, the Mauler Twin from Angstrom's warehouse, returns to his old stomping ground and reconstitutes a clone; the clone calls him "King Mauler" and discretely assassinates King Mauler by poisoning his lemonade, claiming that the clone theory should always remain.
