Thoughts on Powerplex

I heard some hype about Powerplex before getting into the eps 6 but was thoroughly disappointed.

Powerplex being mad at Invincible for something that literally wasn’t even his fault was really annoying, and the lack of sense he and his wife had about the situation was frustrating to watch. First of all they literally tunnel vision on this blind revenge that just seems really excessive. Then they proceed to use their son as bait, knowingly putting their child in an environment where he could get hurt.

He finally confronts Invincible and he's clearly remorseful and guilty about how things played out even knowing the victims he's mad about by name, but he continues his excessive blind fit of rage.

Then Powerplex’s wife has the audacity to spit in Invincible’s face while he’s trying to help them get to safety. So I couldn’t help but feel like she deserved to get cooked alive. It’s sucks that the kid died too, but his parents put him in that situation.

And somehow, after Powerplex cooks his whole family trying to fight someone who wanted nothing to do with him, it’s still supposed to be Invincible’s fault? Really? Just a shitty villain imo. Maybe he’s portrayed better in the comics I’m about to catch up now and see for myself.

What do you all think? Did I miss something...? or is Powerplex just kind of a silly dude?

Btw i thought the title card for this eps was cool lol
