Invincible season 3's ending saw Mark and Eve take down Conquest and live to fight another day, proving how strong both characters really are. While it was already obvious that the protagonist was one of the toughest characters in the series and capable of holding his own against powerful Viltrumites, "I Thought You'd Never Shut Up" offered a glimpse of Eve's true capabilities, and I was shocked by her strength.

Not only was she essentially able to resurrect herself, but Eve even emitted a powerful blast that seriously wounded Conquest, which proved to be the turning point in the showdown. Atom Eve's new regeneration powers were also a sign that she is one of the most durable heroes in the franchise, making it clear how important she is to defending Earth from the Viltrumites. Unfortunately, her mental block means Eve's showing in the season 3 finale won't be a sign of things to come, and Invincible also teased some issues with her abilities, making her future even more challenging.

Atom Eve's Full Potential Means She's Arguably Invincible's Strongest Hero

Without Her Mental Block, Atom Eve Could Arguably Defeat Any Other Invincible Character

Were it not for Atom Eve's mental block, there is no doubt she would be among Invincible's most powerful characters. Season 3's finale finally explored why she has such significant limitations, as she told Mark that mental blocks were put on her, hence why she can't change sentient matter. From a narrative perspective, it makes perfect sense to restrict Eve's powers as it prevents her from being able to easily defeat every villain while allowing Mark to remain Earth's strongest hero, but if she were to reach her full potential, it's hard to imagine anyone matching Eve's strength.

The fact that trauma is able to override her mental block shows that she is capable of impressive features like healing herself while facing certain death alongside producing powerful blasts of energy. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. She also managed to alter the air density during her fight with Conquest, and if she had absolutely no restrictions, Eve could simply tweak her opponents' matter to defeat or kill them, depending on her desired intentions.

Currently, the filters on her powers may make her seem a little weak and naive at times, but as she continues to master them, she will get stronger and more versatile. Sadly, the true potential of her abilities may never be shown on screen though, as Eve would simply become too overpowered for the story to remain interesting since she could essentially kill every Viltrumite within seconds, highlighting just how strong an unrestricted Atom Eve would be.

Invincible Has Never Done Atom Eve & Her Powers Justice

Season 3's Finale Was The First Proper Glimpse Of Eve's Full Potential

Despite having the most potential on the show, Invincible has never given Atom Eve's powers a true chance to shine outside the season 3 finale. She has had small instances of showing off her skills, like during her battle with Killcannon and her previous encounters against Doc Seismic, but considering she could wipe the floor with pretty much any villain in the entire franchise, the lack of memorable fights has been a little disappointing. Ironically, Eve's best battle happened in her special episode when she was just a child, but it remains one of the best demonstrations of her powers.

As the seasons roll on and she becomes even more critical to the plot, Invincible will hopefully allow Eve to use her abilities a little more freely and effectively.

As the seasons roll on and she becomes even more critical to the plot, Invincible will hopefully allow Eve to use her abilities a little more freely and effectively. She deserves the chance to have a high-stakes fight where she comes out on top, which would help cement her as a top-tier hero that her powers suggest she is capable of being. Sadly, this opportunity doesn't look like it will arrive any time soon, as Atom Eve's powers faced problems during Invincible season 3's ending, which looks destined to have a major impact on her throughout season 4.

Invincible Season 4 Is Unlikely To Reverse The Trend After Season 3's Ending

Invincible's Latest Finale Suggests Eve Will Face Difficulties With Her Powers Going Forward

While her big moments during the Conquest fight may feel like a tease that Eve will get stronger in season 4, the weird glow regarding her powers in season 3's finale suggests the opposite. As Mark and Eve were getting intimate, the camera panned to Mark's clothes - which Eve had removed through her powers - showing a strange glow trailing from the Invincible costume. This appears to be a sign that Eve is pregnant, as the comics revealed this bombshell at a similar point in the source material, and her powers also began acting up as a result.

Rather than learning how to overcome her mental block, it seems like season 4 will focus on Eve struggling to control her powers, making her less effective than usual while in combat. Her pregnancy will naturally deter her from getting into any major confrontations in the near future, but with her powers also having unexpected side effects, it could be a while before Invincible explores more of Atom Eve's true potential, meaning the trend of her being undervalued looks set to continue when the show returns.
