The closest galaxy to the Milky Way isn’t the Andromeda galaxy it is the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy which is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way


* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: In Season 2, Mark is told he will be travelling to a planet that's a couple of galaxies away from Earth. The next episode, when he decides he wants to go back on his own, he's told there are millions of miles between the planet he's on and Earth. Reminder that the closest galaxy to the Milky Way is Andromeda, approximately 2.5 million light years away, and each light year is approximately 5.88 trillion miles.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Basically every single character on the show is clearing struggling with severe psychological trauma, but none of them seek out psychiatric help (beyond Debbie's token attempt to join group therapy). All Cecil can do is put his heroes on temporary leave to get their heads straight, which naturally doesn't work. It's almost as if the concept of therapy simply doesn't exist in the world of ''Invincible''.

* OurClonesAreDifferent: The Mauler Twins are actually the result of a single MadScientist creating a clone of himself with the same memories and personality to act as a partner-in-crime and lab assistant, and whenever one Mauler Twin dies, the surviving Twin (whether they be the original or a clone) uses the cloning technology to [[ExpendableClone create another Mauler Twin]] again. The cloning process involves extracting a blood sample, and Mauler locates a distinct blood cell which he then injects under a microscope, causing the cell to begin replicating. The clone body then grows from the blood sample inside a pod, fed processed meat through a tube to fuel its development. Once the body is fully-formed, it's still braindead, until Mauler uses a separate machine to (painfully) duplicate all his thoughts and memories onto the clone body. [[spoiler:Mauler can also use the technology to clone someone else, to copy the mind of someone other than the clone body's genetic donor into it, and even alter the clone body's physical age from that of its donor; as happens when the Twins create a child clone of Rex's body with Robot's mind]].
