that plot hole in "Invincible"

This isn't going to make sense to anyone who didn't watch the Amazon series "Invincible."

The main character of "Invincible" is Mark Grayson, the half-Viltrumite son of super-duper superhero Nolan Grayson, this universe's overpowered analogue for Superman. For the first couple episodes, Mark is a normal teen who doesn't even know he has Viltrumite powers. He has a girlfriend named Amber, and here's the plot hole: Mark, after finally acquiring his powers, eventually comes clean to Amber about being a superhero. Amber, however, tells Mark she's known for a while now.

That in itself isn't nonsensical. Amber isn't a terribly written character, and she seems smart enough to figure important things out for herself, so to me, it's not a surprise when she tells Mark she knows he's a superhero. But all during the time when Amber is pouting about how Mark is never there for her (because he's off superheroing), she gives him a hard time as if she didn't know who he really was. When I wrote my review of Season 1 of "Invincible," I tried to forgive Amber for her confusing behavior, but online, people were having none of her bullshit. Many critics saw Amber as a bitch for torturing Mark: she knows he's a superhero with cosmic obligations, but she selfishly wants Mark by her side at all times. Now, it's true that Mark is cagey about his true identity, and this does lead to his lying about his activities, so to that extent, Amber has a right to be upset about Mark's discomfort with the truth. There are trust issues at play here. But if she had truly figured out who Mark was weeks earlier, why did she have to torture him emotionally? I tend to think the TV version of Amber (I don't know about the comic-book version as I haven't read the comic) wasn't as well written as she could have been, but online, people seem content just to think Amber is a bitch.

So that's the context for Long Beach Griffy's comic sketch.
