The fight rages on and Mark is overpowered several times, with Conquest constantly goading Mark by saying that he simply enjoys unmitigated violence. Mark is eventually aided by his brother Oliver, Omni-Man’s rapidly aging son of Invincible Season 2, who was badly wounded and almost killed.

Conquest seemingly kills Eve, causing Mark to fly into a storm and repeatedly headbutt the Wiltrumite until he is killed.
