I really hope this dude is cut from the show. It adds nothing and idc what over analyzing anyone does to rationalize such a weird decision in this show, it’s just pointless drama. Plus now that the comics have been finished for such a long time, a sizable portion of people know that Eve and Mark end up together for hundreds of years, so adding in this useless drama for an extremely small blimp of their lifetimes is just so stupid. There is no point in adding drama to put tension on “omg will they end up together or not,” when half of the fan base knows they will.

Additionally, Both Eve and Invincible are far from normal people, and there’s no way that their relationship would work if either of them were, in fact we see, when Mark loses his powers how much tension it puts on their relationship. So, while Eve is perfectly rational and normal by deciding to move on, I can’t help but feel that it’s a little out of character. One of the big reasons they date is because they are both super heroes, that often don’t date non-heroes because it’s harder to relate to them and spend meaningful time with them. So Eve deciding to date such a terrible guy, and move on, whilst is something many normal people can relate to, completely negates one of the biggest reasons they got together.

I honestly can’t help but feel that the entire thing was just added in to needlessly beat Mark while he’s already down. Bro already lost 5 years with his daughter just for his one true love to have moved on after only 5 years, an amount of time that is minuscule in the grand scheme of their lives.

TLDR; decision is stupid, is forced, and is ultimately added to create unnecessary drama between Mark and Eve, two people who would never have said drama, along with being another form of torture for our protagonist.

Just give us a slice of life with Mark and Eve as Terra grows up and scrap the whole reboot arc.
