Doc Seismic vs Invincible & Atom Eve Fight Scene | The Invincible Season 1 Episode 3 (2021)

Invincible and Adam Eve take down Doc Seismic

Minor spoilers, but much later in the comic Doc makes a comeback, and I legitimately thought for a few pages that the work of Doc Seismic was done by a Viltrumite or some other absurdly powerful entity in the Invincible canon.

He didn’t want to alienate a huge portion of his voter base. And even if he said that truthfully, doesn’t mean he deserved to die after all he did end up doing.

[@Mythos_Thunder]

As someone that thinks up superhuman abilities and characters just for the fun of it, I absolutely love characters with niche tech and unique abilities like Doc Seismic's gauntlets. They're incredible because the fundamental force behind their operation is simply vibration. By knocking them together, he generates a small amount of kinetic energy that reverberates through the components, then some mechanism inside them amplifies that tiny little wave into immense Destructive shockwaves. On their own, they're only bracelets that make really loud bass boost noises, but with a little creativity, Doc Seismic shows just how powerful something as simple as a soundwave can become. Amplifying them to Geologically devastating explosions or regulating them to create lift so he can hover. Granted, in reality, he would have obliterated his hands on his first try at using them, since they sort of service to direct the shockwaves where he wants them, and being that they're just above the epicenter of these incredible bursts of kinetic energy, they'd have no chance at withstanding it. Unless somehow he's managed to direct the waves around his hands and not through them. But still, the fact that this incredible fight scene is possible because a madman harnessed the power of just being really loud excites the creative part of my mind.

[@Mythos_Thunder]

AND THEN THEY BREAK. AND YOU GET TO SEE THE THINGS REACTING TOO SENSITIVELY TO THE IMPACTS HIS HANDS MAKE ON ANYTHING. THE FORCE IS NO LONGER FOCUSED PROPERLY, AND THE SYSTEMS WITHIN AMPLIFY LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO, BUT WITH TOO LITTLE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO TRIGGER THE AMPLIFICATION OF THE ENERGY. THE GAUNTLETS ARE STILL DOING WHAT THEY'RE DESIGNED TO, JUST INCORRECTLY, RATHER THAN EXPLODING OR CRUMBLING TO SCRAP LIKE MOST CARTOON TECH TENDS TO.

[@Mythos_Thunder]

TL;DR: Bass Boost Gauntlets are cool as shit and they would take a genius to use so effectively without destroying the user in one shot.

[@agenericguy1014]

Despite being a rather filler fight,it sure was fun as hell to watch. I really loved this scene cuz of how cool,badass yet entertaining it was. Dr.Seismic is a funny,goofy yet kinda cool villain. We get to see Mark and Eve team up with just the 2 of them and they make a great team together. 3:08 Also,love the animation of Mark spinning like a drill to save the civilians,such a cool,smooth and satisfying animation to watch

You say that as if woke cultists wouldn't act like this if they could amd that they don't to the extent that they're able. They're political and social authoritarians who don't believe in bad tactics, only bad targets.

[@jordanloux3883]

1. He's acting like that for a joke. 2. He gets a concussion every time he uses his bracelets so it's fair to say he's not all there anymore.

[@estebanpineros9409]

@@jordanloux3883 Yup, agree there. Plus, I kind of find it funny, I mean, just because you're a villain doesn't mean you can't have a few choice opinions on other matters. To me it makes him actually better, since it gives him more depth than the average villain since he's got more thoughts in him than just 'I'm EVIL!!!!'.

[@ok.5985]

yea that was clean af

[@alejosssdo]

for those who didn't catch what this whole thing was about. there's this whole trend of making the bad guy a dude who has a good point or who has a genuinely good motive (more often than not with leftist ideals) only for the writers to turn him into a monster out of nowhere so you stop being on his side (like in TFATWS where the bad guys are anarchists who kill people and who are also terrorists, or when hellcat and iron man beat up that one guy who was against big pharma and who condemned the american health system as "a crime") robert kirkman was making fun of the whole concept by making this mad scientist a dude with an education in sociology and gender studies who called out the founding fathers as racists and slavers (which they were) only to "die" later

@@napalmblaziken wasn't lincoln going to send black people back to africa?

[@napalmblaziken]

@@alejosssdo Yes, but context is important. The US, both the north and the south, was filled with white supremacists. Lincoln wanted to find a way to free the slaves, but also placate white supremacists. It was the constant struggle in his presidency. Many felt at the time (and still do sadly) that an integrated society was impossible. It doesn't change the fact that he felt that black people deserved the opportunity to improve their lives and live happily.

Best villian in the series. I love this guy. Not wrong about Lincoln being racist, btw. Dude was was quite candid that the only reason he freed the slaves was to prevent another civil war. He would have been fine preserving the institution if it did not threaten the union.
