Sinclair has reformed, and Darkwing sacrificed his life stopping one Evil Invincible. Mark even begins to see Cecil's side in things- D.A. However, almost as quickly as this occurs, there's a re-combining of forces- the "Invincible War" devastates much of the planet almost right away, leading to Cecil convincing the Guardians to form up yet again. He even reveals that he's placed a sonic-device painful to Viltrumites in Mark's ear (SURGICALLY!), which causes Robot and most of the Guardians of the Globe to quit on him as well.
