While Mark Grayson may be making great strides as the superhero Invincible, the teenager may have just gained a cold, calculating rival during a visit to Upstate University.

In an exclusive clip from the next episode of the Amazon Prime Video animated series, Mark and his friends listen to a lecture in their biology class. Audibly unimpressed is classmate D.A. Sinclair, who berates the teacher and his peers for being beneath him. This, in turn, leads to a verbal confrontation between him and Mark's girlfriend Amber Bennett.

Even though Mark has quickly been learning the ropes as a teenage superhero, following in his father's mighty footsteps, the double life he's been leading has begun to take a toll on his personal life, including his relationship with Amber.
