Prime VideoKa-Hor returned briefly during the Invincible War in Season 3, and if you’re wondering what the mummy’s story is in the comics, you’re in the right place.
In Episode 7, Angstrom Levy gathered nearly 20 alternate Mark Graysons from across the multiverse to tear Earth apart and tarnish Invincible’s name.
It didn’t work. Thanks to the efforts of every superhero on the planet (and Angstrom sending them back to the abandoned dimension from the end of Season 2), only… a few million people died.
During the brawl, one variant crashes into a tomb and unwittingly frees Ka-Hor, a mummy that’s popped up a few times in Invincible.
Who is Ka-Hor in Invincible?
Prime VideoKa-Hor doesn’t appear in the Invincible comics. The mummy is a running gag exclusive to the show that illustrates how Mark’s powers and story have unintended effects.
In the first season, Mark flew too low and prevented the resurrected mummy from escaping, and in Season 2 Episode 8, he flies above it so fast that he completely covers the tomb’s entrance, unknowingly dooming the two archeologists to death.
His first appearance in Season 1 Episode 4 baffled newcomers and longtime Invincible fans alike, as it was never referenced again. We saw an explorer finding the tomb, the mummy rising from its sarcophagus and possessing its new host — but just as he’s about to walk out, Mark causes the tomb’s door to slam down and lock him inside.
In the Season 2 finale, two women manage to enter the same tomb, and it’s revealed that one of them is the first man’s daughter. The mummy awakens once more, but pauses his spooky speech when he realizes they’re both female, as he needs a male host for his resurrection. Moments later, rubble starts to fall from the ceiling — and again, Mark’s flight path is so destructive that it causes a massive sandstorm that blankets the tomb.
Prime VideoIn Season 3 Episode 7, Ka-Hor tries to possess the Mark variant after he crashes into the tomb. He escapes, along with the two women inside, leaving Ka-Hor alone again – but now he’s free, so he may be able to find someone else in the fourth season.
Some fans suspect there could be another reason for the mummy’s re-appearance — what if Ka-Hor is the key to lifting Monster Girl’s de-aging curse, or maybe he has something to do with Damien Darkblood’s plot? This seems a little unlikely, but with Season 4 already confirmed, only time will tell.
