One nutter

Not with the dudes Cecil employs to surveil the family, nor with Omni-Man around her a great deal of the deal and able to get to her easily.

the White House itself can be attacked and broken by random supervillains

1. That was a comic story.

2. The Maulers may be a bit narrow minded, but they're absolutely not random villains.

because poor impulse control and fluid relationships

Again, who would she tell, and how would it service her to any degree. This is not real life, this is a fictional world where super humans are comm place, and a guy like Invincible is small potatoes. No one she would even tell us a threat. Trying to go on the internet with it would be a massive nothing burger that would either be ignored or swept up by Cecil.

Mark's not a "piece of shit" for trying to juggle his responsibilities with a relationship

Yes he is, because he saw very plainly that juggling wouldn't happen at all. He'd always, always, put Amber on hold when he got the call, and he didn't have the balls to either drop the relationship or tell her why that was. That's piece of shit boyfriend behavior.

If this is all you've got, I'm done wasting my time with you.

If Cecil couldn't prevent an attack on the White House, how could he stop someone like the Maulers attacking Debbie in a random spot. He couldn't, and she's much more fragile than the side of the White House.

Invincible is not a nobody. The fact that he’s Omni-Man’s son makes him perhaps the most important person in the planet.

1. This is just a stupid argument. Mark is not even an adult in S1 and you expect him to do everything right. You're insane for thinking that he's a piece of shit for not being able to handle being a super hero, a good student and a good boyfriend at the ripe age of 17. Most people without superpowers can't do this. That doesn't make him a piece of shit, it just makes him inexperienced.

2. You're also insane for thinking just because they're in a relationship, she should be entitled to know his secret identity. That's like giving your 5y old child access to your bank account. Yeah, it's possible they don't do anything with this info. Or they can completly fuck your life over in a moment of poor judgement.

3. Just this season the Mailers escaped, AGAIN. If you really think Debbie isn't in danger because Omni-Man is around I feel like you haven't actually watched the show. Omni-Man himself didn't fuck with Battle Beast. There are clearly people in the universe with more power than Omni-Man. Hell, he almost lost to the fucking tentacle monster.

4. "Again, who would she tell, and how would it service her to any degree. This is not real life, this is a fictional world" is a weird fucking argument. It's a fictional world. You're telling me it's that unbelievable that she could just be mind read? Or just, idk get tricked by a shapeshifter? Or that in this fictional world, there's no way a fictional character could go through drastic and unrealistic change caused by playing with powers outside their control? Surely that had never happened.
