Invincible Season 2 brought Donald back from the dead after Season 1. But with his return, many fans are left wondering how he managed to survive his apparent death after going up against Omni-Man. Is he a clone? Here’s all you need to know about Donald and his backstory from the comics.
Is Donald a clone in Invincible season 2?
No, Donald is not a clone in Invincible Season 2. He is a cyborg.
Invincible Season 2 continues to bring quite a few characters back from the dead including The Immortal and Donald Ferguson. As The Immortal’s name suggests, he keeps returning because he is in fact immortal, and won’t die until his brain is crushed. But fans were left theorizing how Donald had defied death after sacrificing himself in an explosion in Season 1.
Some fans believed that Cecil could have simply introduced a clone of his right-hand man. But that isn’t the case. As per the comics, Donald Ferguson is a cyborg and he is aware of that right from the beginning. However, that storyline has been altered in the Prime Video animated series where Donald is on the verge of finding out about his true origin. He isn’t aware of the fact that he is a cyborg in Season 2 episode 4.
How is Donald alive during Invincible Season 2?
Donald is alive in Invincible Season 2 because he is a cyborg. His endurance as a cyborg possibly allowed him to survive the blast in Season 1.
Viewers saw Omni-Man crush Donald’s backbone right before the latter caused an explosion. But after that, the remains of Donald’s Cyborg body could have been picked up, with Cecil and his team making a few repairs and upgrades to it.
In season 2, Donald has returned with his memory being completely wiped about how he had died in Season 1. But since the animated show is altering his storyline from the comics, another change could be that Donald was originally human and has been turned into a Cyborg post his encounter with Omni-Man. Invincible Season 2 episode 5 will offer more clarity on the Donald situation.
