Episode 18: “You’re Not Laughing Now”
Summary: Three months after his battle with Angstrom, Mark continues training under Cecil’s supervision to gain enough strength to compete with Viltrumites while avoiding Eve. Mark and Rex try to stop two thieves, Dropkick and Fightmaster, from stealing the Declaration of Independence but are attacked by Kate’s brother, Multi-Paul, who tries to avenge his sister’s death. Kate and the Immortal come out of retirement while Rae returns to the Guardians. William and Rick encourage Mark to confess his feelings and ask Eve out, but warn him against telling her about her future self. However, Mark lets it slip, leading Eve to reject him. Doc Seismic breaks out of confinement and kidnaps Earth’s superheroes using giant underground creatures. When Mark and Eve fail to save the heroes, Cecil sends in Darkwing II and Reanimen to help, with Darkwing II recapturing Doc Seismic. Mark confronts Cecil for lying to him and working with Darkwing II and Sinclair, leading Cecil to trap him in the White Room, which was constructed to keep him safe from Mark. Allen and Nolan bond in prison while the Viltrumites begin testing Allen to determine the source of his newfound strength.

Episode 19: “A Deal with the Devil”
Summary: In a flashback, Cecil objects to his predecessor rehabilitating criminals. In the present, Mark destroys Reanimen deployed to stop him. Cecil activates a device installed in Mark’s head matching the Atlantean kaiju’s roars, causing him intense pain and preventing him from flying. Mark flees to the Guardians for help but Cecil arrives and attacks Mark with more Reanimen, prompting the Guardians to aid him. Rudy jams the signal that is harming Mark while Cecil, realizing his mistake, deactivates the Reanimen. A furious Mark threatens to kill Cecil should he approach him or his family, ending their working relationship. The Guardians break up, with Monster Girl, Rex, Rae, Bulletproof, and Rudy losing trust in Cecil, while the Immortal, Kate, Samson, and Shapesmith remain and are joined by Darkwing II. Cecil later reflects on his first meeting with Nolan and developing his personal code of doing anything to protect Earth while Mark and Eve reconcile and start a relationship.

Episode 20: “You Want a Real Costume, Right?”
Summary: Mark receives a new suit from Rosenbaum. After getting his own suit, Oliver names himself “Kid Omni-Man”, but Mark advises against it, explaining the destruction Nolan caused, before they join forces to stop Titan from breaking out Multi-Paul. Eve moves back in with her parents, promising not to use her powers at home if they become more accepting of her duties as a hero. Debbie forms a relationship with her colleague Paul and reveals to him Nolan, Mark, and Oliver’s secret identities, angering Mark. The Maulers break into a missile silo, planning to launch an EMP device to destroy the world’s communication systems, and incapacitate the attacking Guardians. Mark destroys the missile while Oliver, against his and Debbie’s wishes, kills the Maulers. He reveals to Mark his indifference to killing, believing Nolan may be right, worrying Mark. While talking with Oliver, Mark notices a floating orb-like drone spying on the Grayson household, which detonates in his hand as he catches it. Unbeknownst to him, the drone belongs to Angstrom, who survived his previous encounter with Mark.

Episode 21: “You Were My Hero”
Summary: Mark asks Rudy to analyze the drone, which he determines originated from Earth and was created by someone with vast resources. Mark confronts Cecil, believing he built it, but Cecil denies it. Later, while on a date with Eve, Fightmaster and Dropkick forcibly recruit Mark and bring him to their future, believing he can save their Earth from its tyrannical king, the Immortal. Driven mad by his immense power and immortality, he blames Mark for his eventual abandonment of Earth and demands he fight him to the death to bring him peace. Reluctantly, Mark fights and is eventually forced to kill the Immortal. Returning to the present, a shaken Mark finds solace with Eve. Meanwhile, Nolan faces execution until Allen breaks free, liberates their fellow inmates, gains Battle Beast’s help in fending off the Viltrumites, and feigns defeat to spur Nolan into action. After breaking out, Allen suggests they flee before reinforcements arrive, but Nolan reveals the Viltrum Empire now consists of fewer than fifty pure-blooded members.
