Battle Beast will play a role in Invincible Season 3
The villain appeared in the season 3 trailer after his return was confirmed by Robert Kirkman
After an incredibly long wait, Battle Beast will finally be back Invincibleof action, with the warrior appearing in the trailer for season 3. He may have only appeared for a brief moment, but Robert Kirman confirmed Battle Beast and Titan's Invincible returns earlier this year, with the teaser providing further confirmation that they will be involved in the story. Given the villain was able to defeat Mark and the Guardians of the Globe almost single-handedlyThere's no denying that he's one of the most terrifying characters the series has ever shown, making his return a big deal.
Invincible season 3 has already teased its main villains, as Anissa and General Kregg's roles in season 2 suggested that the main heroes will have a difficult task in dealing with the Viltrumites. However, Battle Beast adds another dynamic to the plot by joining an already accumulated list of antagonists. His impressive combat skills and durability look like they will be put to the test once again, but this time, not by Earth's top heroes. Instead, their conflict appears to take place elsewhere, as the short season 3 footage along with the comics gives a glimpse into their upcoming plot.
What could happen to Battle Beast, based on the Invincible comics?
Battle Beast may be involved in Allen and Omni-Man's attempt to escape from prison
Although the series made some adjustments to the source material, Prime Video's version of Invincible closely followed the comics, indicating that Battle Beast's next role will be tied to Omni-Man's escape. In the comics, Battle Beast was captured on a planet conquered by the Viltrumites, meaning he could very well be a prisoner on the same ship as Allen and Omni-Man in the series. Battle Beast also reluctantly joined Allen's prison riot in the source material to feed his thirst for war, and he even helped free Omni-Man before facing a Viltrumite in battle.
Assuming the series adopts a similar story, Battle Beast could actually end up more of a hero than a villain in season three, setting him up as an ally to the main characters later on.

After how brutal his introduction to the series was, audiences may have found it hard to believe that he would end up on the right side of the war, but Battle Beast even helped the Coalition of Planets in the original storywhich means he has an incredibly important future in the TV adaptation unless Invincible makes some big comedic changes next season.
The small glimpse of Battle Beast in the Season 3 trailer suggests this won't be the case, as he appeared to be fighting the same type of enemies that Omni-man faced while aboard the Viltrumite ship, all but confirming that he will be part of of Nolan and Allen's story when the series returns.
How strong is Invincible's battle beast really?
Battle Beast is capable of killing Viltrumites
Battle Beast wiping the floor with the Guardians of the Globe and Mark in Season 1 indicates that he is extremely powerful, but is the character really that strong? Considering Mark was much weaker when he fought the villain than he was at the end of Season 2 alongside the still-inexperienced new Guardians of the Globe, Battle Beast's victory may have seemed more impressive than it actually was, but he shouldn't be underestimated. . He barely broke a sweat during the fight, highlighting that he still has a lot more to offer, and Season 3 could prove his true fighting ability.
He has also managed to kill several Viltrumites in the comics, and given that they are arguably the strongest species in the Invincible universe, your abilities cannot be overlooked. Some characters may be tougher than him, especially certain Viltrumites who haven't been introduced to the TV adaptation yet, but Battle Beast is still among the most intimidating characters in the franchise and could even rival Omni-Man. Therefore, Battle Beast is at the top of the list when it comes to InvincibleThe film's strongest characters, and season three feels like the perfect time to show their true potential against tough opposition.
