Over the course of Invincible, Allen the Alien's true power-level is gradually revealed, with Issue #55 establishing he can take on the Viltrumites.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT From his first appearance in Invincible #2, Allen the Alien was always portrayed as a formidable character – but it wasn't until Issue #55 of the series that the full extent of his strength became clear. Rescuing Omni-Man moments before his execution by the Viltrumite authorities, the pair fight their way to freedom, with Omni-Man shocked to find his counterpart's strength rivals his own.
Invincible #55 – written by Robert Kirkman, with art by Ryan Ottley – made it clear that Allen the Alien is completely capable of taking on a full-blooded Viltrumite warrior, something he meekly confirms to a stunned Omni-Man. The pair quite literally have the blood of a Viltrumite on their hands – really, splattered all over themselves – in the wake of their escape from a Viltrumite detention facility, where only moments before Omni-Man was set to be executed for treason. Certainly still in shock at his own survival, the true extent of Allen the Alien's physical capability amazes him.
A member of the Unopian race, Allen the Alien knew first-hand the strength and brutality of the Viltrumites, who subjugated and destroyed his people along with many of the races of the galaxy.
Given the duration of its run, and the overall arc of its narrative, Invincible can be said to have a three-act structure, with the acts roughly analagous 45-50 issues of the series. Invincible #55 set the course for the series' second act, as Omni-Man and Allen subsequently went off on a two-person war of attrition against the Viltrumites, which in turn lead into the chain of storyline events that propel the comic book to its climax.
