“No, I’m the one who should be apologizing to you, Oliver. The past few weeks, I’ve been training you…I think I’ve learned more than you have. I scolded you…I yelled at you—thought I knew better. I thought you were misguided, naïve—I was wrong. You were right the whole time—but I’ve learned my lesson. Someone tries to hurt my family—someone I love—if there’s another villain out there putting lives in danger—who’s just keep coming at me until they finally succeed…I won’t hesitate to kill them

Synopsis for "Conquest: Epilogue"
After three days, Mark wakes up from his coma after being patched up from having his forearm broken, hand broken, skull fractured, and leg broken. Eve visits him, relieved to see him awake. She asks if he remembers what happened. The thought of it makes him cry, and he thought she died.
Eve reveals to Mark that with emotional trauma, she can use her powers on living, organic matter, overriding the mental blocks installed in her brain by the government. She reveals that it happened to her before. Mark notices the incident has increased Eve's bust size, leading to an intimate moment. Meanwhile, under the Pentagon, Cecil rushes D.A. Sinclair to finish the Invincible Reanimen to ready for battle.
Mark and Eve's intimate moment is interrupted by Debbie and Paul interrupting. Eve wipes her lips and apologizes. Debbie sees Mark and begins to cry, telling Mark that he doesn't need to be a superhero anymore. Debbie leaves with Paul, and Cecil enters. He asks Mark to talk, and Mark asks where is Conquest. Cecil shows him the dead body. Mark sees the body and goes back to Eve. Mark goes to see Oliver, but Eve tells him she can't go with him. Eve informs him that Rex's funeral is happening. Mark asks to come along, and she accepts. Mark, Eve, and various Image Comics superheroes, including
Robot, Bulletproof, Brit, Capes, Inc, The Immortal, Dupli-Kate, Savage Dragon, SuperPatriot, Donald Ferguson, Black Samson, and various others. They look on in grief as many of them had befriended Rex. Robot gives a speech about how he was initially annoyed by Rex but would idolize him for his confidence. He also changes his name to "Rex" to honor his deceased friend. A concerned Amanda tells Rex she loves him after seeing him give a heartfelt speech.
He offers Eve to give a speech. Eve tells the crowd how she feels about Rex but is overcome with grief. After the funeral, Mark goes to see Eve. Eve tells Mark she regrets how she treated Rex and that he started maturing. Eve reveals that she loved Rex and started liking Mark while she was with Rex. Mark listens to Eve talk and smiles, glad she is okay—the duo kisses.
Mark and Eve head to the Wilkens house and become intimate with each other, but in mid-intercourse, after Eve disrobes, Mark states that it will be awkward to conjugate with her due to his body casts. Eve then uses her powers to remove Mark's clothes, neatly folding them and placing them on the side of the bed, much to his surprise. Mark and Eve then resume their sexual intercourse. It was shown that Eve's transmutation powers didn't work correctly, and Mark's costume had a mixture of stones, liquid, and plants.
Meanwhile, another dimension, Angstrom Levy, is given another cybernetic hand. He asks the med team what they want from him. The trio insists they will use Angstrom, stating that this is only the beginning. It is revealed that the Sequids possess more people in their plot to take over Earth.
Donald would go with Cecil to an outpost in a remote location in the Mojave Desert. It is revealed that Cecil constructed a fake body of Conquest, and he is alive. Conquest is healing and is placed in a 400-ton prison below the Earth. Cecil plans to interrogate him after he heals, wishing to learn about what the Viltrumites pose to Earth.
Mark goes to visit Oliver, and they talk about the events. Oliver reveals that he will be out in a few days, and Mark tells him that Eve's powers aren't working correctly. Mark screams in anger for not being able to protect him. Oliver apologizes, and Mark tells Oliver that he should be the one who's sorry. He says that if someone threatens his family or the world, he won't think twice about killing them.
