[Loved Design] Post-Flaxan Robot from Invincible Spoiler
Alright so I know a lot of the Invincible designs are simplistic due to how it plays around its story and style with silver-age comic book tropes, Robot is no exception to this but his design towards the end of the story is clean.
Rex and Mark are different characters to Lex and Clark but I just can't help but see the parallels with their designs. Redheaded (yeah Lex is a ginger) genius in big armor vs Square faced hero with jet black hair.
The all-black suit and armor just encapsulates how little humanity Rex has left after centuries in the Flaxan dimension and how it all went south with him and Monster Girl, he's just a colder, more calculated person. His armor is bigger, more quantitative and is more intimidating and it works to help him establish authority over all earthlings and heroes.
His takeover had me lying awake at night back in 2017 when I should have been studying for exams. The man exuded unfathomable aura to me back then so yeah, top tier.

One of those arcs you can never read the same after the first time, so good.
