Atom Eve & Rex Splode In
Invincible Presents: Atom Eve (collected as
Invincible Presents: Atom Eve & Rex Splode Volume One), Samantha Eve Wilkins, later known as Atom Eve, was the result of a top-secret government experiment designed to create a superhuman with unparalleled abilities. Her biological mother, Polly, was unknowingly subjected to genetic experimentation while pregnant under the supervision of Dr. Elias Brandyworth, a government scientist. Brandyworth's experiment aimed to enhance the unborn child's intelligence and molecular manipulation abilities, granting her an innate understanding of biological and chemical sciences at a subatomic level. After Polly gave birth to Eve, the government sought to take control of her as a potential weapon. However, Dr. Brandyworth, recognizing the dangers of allowing the government to exploit her, decided to intervene and smuggled the newborn away from the government's grasp, ensuring she would be raised in a normal environment. To protect her, Brandyworth switched Eve with a stillborn baby at the hospital, allowing her to be placed with Betsy and Adam Wilkins, an unsuspecting couple in Chicago, Illinois. After Polly seemingly died during childbirth (actually kept alive and experimented on by the government), Dr. Brandyworth went into hiding to protect Eve, who remained hidden for many years, growing up without knowledge of her true origins. The Wilkins family, completely unaware of her extraordinary heritage, raised her as their own daughter. From an early age, Eve displayed an extraordinary intellect and an innate ability to understand complex scientific concepts without formal education. Her adoptive parents, noticing her advanced skills, struggled to comprehend them, imposing strict rules and expectations, hoping to mold her into what they believed was a normal, disciplined child. During her teenage years, Eve attended Reginald Vel Johnson High School, where she excelled academically while struggling with the constraints of her home life. Her parents maintained a strict and controlling approach, often dismissing her curiosity about the world and her own identity. This tension deepened as Eve became more aware of her abilities and questioned why she felt so different from those around her. Eve eventually learned the truth about her origins when she encountered a dying Dr. Brandyworth, who revealed the full extent of the experiment that created her, before she witnessed a still-alive Polly, her biological siblings (created by the government using Polly) and Dr. Brandyworth all be killed by the government, she unknowingly installed a mental block restricting her own powers. Armed with this knowledge, Eve embraced her abilities and chose to use them for good, adopting the superhero identity Atom Eve. In
Invincible Presents: Atom Eve & Rex Splode Volume Two, how Eve began dating
Rex Splode is explored, secretly keeping him living with her in her bedroom all through the duo's teenage years.
Invincible As a superhero, Atom Eve often uses her powers to help people, sometimes clashing with the traditional concept of heroism. She takes a break from crime-fighting to focus on humanitarian efforts, using her abilities to create resources for those in need. However, she is repeatedly drawn back into battle, facing threats such as the Viltrumite invasion and various supervillains. Her abilities allowed her to transmute objects, enabling her to perform feats such as transforming one substance into another and healing injuries by rearranging molecular structures. Eve's partnership with fellow superhero
Invincible (Mark Grayson) evolved over time from comrades-in-arms to a deep romantic relationship. Their bond faced numerous challenges, including battles against formidable foes and personal struggles. Eventually, they married and had a daughter named Terra, balancing their responsibilities as parents with their duties as superheroes. Eventually, she breaks her previous mental limits and her powers are bolstered to nigh-
omnipotent levels, though she retains the discipline to not utilize it on other beings. Breaking her limits allows her to match Mark's Viltrumite powers, and grow back her leg years after losing it. Sick of Earth after the utopian reign of Robot renders crime obsolete, she and Mark move to an alien planet with their daughter. After Mark is sent to an alternate past for years, Eve moves on and begins dating again, raising their daughter alone; on Mark's return, she joins him in facing off against the children of former Viltrumite leader
Thragg, before Mark assumes his throne as Emperor Markus Grayson I of the Viltrumite Empire, Emperor of the Universe, with Eve as his Empress Consort. Decades later, on Eve's deathbed, she suddenly rejuvenates to her youth, and realises she is immortal, and so can be with Mark forever due to his eternal longevity. 500 years later, Eve lounges as Mark thinks back fondly on his father's words of "What will you have after 500 years?".
