**Angstrom Levy** is a supervillain in *Invincible* and the main antagonist of Season 2. He is a human who has the ability to traverse through different dimensions, seeing all the possible realities the multiverse held, he wanted to innovate and save his reality by gaining the knowledge from his alternate selves. His plan would go south as Invincible intervened, disfiguring him, and gaining memories from all his alternate selves.

## Background

### Background Information

The Angstrom Levy of the main universe in which Invincible mainly exists was born with the ability to open traversable portals between his own reality and others, making him unique amongst all of his alternate selves across the multiverse. For possibly months or years, he discovered there were different universes in which he existed, he would travel and bring those different versions of him to his universe, and also discovered many realities where Invincible joined forces with his father and took over earth.

### Man of Many Talents

    He would eventually track down the Mauler Twins to aid him in transferring the unique knowledge his alternate selves possessed about each of their home dimensions in order to pool medical, technological, and philosophical knowledge for the benefit of all. In his time with the twins he considered himself an ethical person, as well as a pacifist, and somewhat blessed them with the knowledge of different realties, as well as their own designs of powerful devices from these different realities to complete his goal. The Mauler Twins were convinced to help Levy, and in return he would guarantee them a new reality of their choosing.

At night the machine was done, and when they started the process, Invincible (not knowing Levy's goals) tries to stop him. Levy did try to reason with Mark, however his pleas fell on deaf ears, and he was forced to summon more Mauler twins from other universes to help. Upon getting the upper hand, they attempt to bludgeon Invincible to death against Levy's wishes. Levy removes the helmet linking him to the memory transfer device and his alternate selves, stating he "will not build his utopia in blood". This action inadvertently causes the machine to explode spectacularly, killing all of the Maulers and Angstroms that came from different realties within the building, leaving only Invincible alive.

### Angstrom's Vendetta

    However, the Angstrom attached to the machine is shown to have made it upon being unearthed by Mauler who is surprised by his survival. According to the Mauler Twins earlier, if the helmet was removed before the connection was finished, severe brain damage would be the least worrying problem. This proves to be the case, as the premature disconnection also affected his mental state, causing him to be unable to distinguish his own memories from those of his alternate selves, as well as failing to remember his choice to disconnect from the machine and his grand plan to save all of reality. This, along with his disfigurement (a grotesquely enlarged cranium presumably due to holding so many memories) leads him to swearing vengeance against Invincible for the deaths of his alternate selves as well as the deaths of their collective loved ones at Invincible and Omni-Man's hands in their respective alternate dimensions.

Following this, he decided travel to another reality and met another Invincible to ask him questions about his defeat and capture at the hands of Cecil and the GDA, promising his freedom in return. He told Angstrom of his imprisonment and that his father was killed by quantum bombs, but as different versions of Cecil and Donald arrived, Angstrom left to parts unknown, leaving the Evil Mark Grayson in the hands of the GDA.

## Personality

At first, Angstrom Levy of the main universe was more of a pacifist, as he said to the Mauler Twins prior to his disfigurement. His chosen method to save worlds, not just his own, may have been a tad extreme, having gathered alternate versions of himself and then opting to use the Mauler Twins' memory transferal technology to transfer the Angstrom alternates' memories into himself despite one of the Maulers giving the opinion that Levy could simply just ask his duplicates for whatever knowledge he sought.

    He did not condone destruction and murder, and nearly gave his life and sacrificed his grand plan to save Invincible from dying at the hands of the alternate Mauler Twins. He considered his ability to transport to other realities a gift, and wanted to save the multiverse by using the knowledge from his other selves - one universe, therein, at a time. He would also give the Mauler Twins their own reality as a reward for their service showing his good faith towards people he aligned himself with. Despite that, he is shown to be desperate at times of completing his goals like using the twins, who are certified villains, to build a machine for his "utopia", noting that "no one else" qualifies, then also summoning other villainous Mauler Twins from other realities in hopes of delaying Invincible's destruction of the machine.

After his disfigurement, Levy's mind became unstable and due to the new memories clouding his mind, he blamed Invincible for the accident. He has countless memories of different Invincibles slaughtering people, no longer being able to tell the difference between the memories from his alternate counterparts and his own. His new goal becomes to destroy Invincible wherever he exists. The new Angstrom is also shown to be deceptive, such as when he traveled to another reality where the Graysons were defeated to meet its Invincible. He negotiated by offering to save him from his predicament with the GDA, speaking in a similar speech pattern to before his accident, but after learning how he was defeated and imprisoned, Angstrom showed his true colors and left the trapped Invincible to his fate. It's interesting to note that prior to the accident, one of the alternate universe Angstroms had despised Invincible and expressed hatred of him and his father as well. His goal was identical to the final Angstrom's, wishing to bring justice down on the Viltrumite "tyrant". This same Angstrom is shown reacting with anger to the main Invincible when he arrives to stop the machine, being unaware that this Mark Grayson is a hero, and somewhat foreshadowing the views of the final amalgamated Angstrom.

## Appearance

After his accident, most of his hair was burned off, and the entirety of his skull and back had enlarged with a pinkish vein in the middle of his head and spinal area. In the following episode, he was seen wearing a dark cloak with cybernetic enhancements, such as a machine to support his spine and a nasal cannula, all of which most likely act as a life support system.

## Powers & Abilities

### **Powers**

* **Dimensional Travel**: Angstrom was born with the ability to open traversable portals between his own dimension and parallel realities.

### **Abilities**

* **High Intelligence**: Levy is incredibly intelligent; his intellect is on par with, or perhaps in excess of, most of Earth's brightest minds, including Rudolph Conners. However, admits there are limits to his intellect prompting him to recruit the maulers.

## Weaknesses

* **Limited Reach**: Despite being able to traverse dimensions, he is unable to open portals with a terminus that leads to the the same dimension that he's currently in.
	+ **Spatial Limitation**: Additionally, Angstrom is only able to open portals to different versions of the space he's occupying, showcased when he broke the Mauler Twins out of prison using a universe where the Global Defense Agency was destroyed.
* **Mental Instability:** Due to an incident, Angstrom now has the memories of over one-hundred versions of him. This has caused him to think more irrationally, being unable to differentiate what are and aren't his memories.
