I'm pretty sure most if not all traditional superheroes would reject doing something that would erase their child from existence even if it benefited the world/universe more for it.

This is actually a plot point in Endgame, and why the Avengers bring back everyone who died instead of making it that the snap never happened to begin with.

I get this is the Invincible sub reddit, but can we stop acting like everything that happens wouldn't happen in another superhero story or has never been done before?

But isn't this a choice Spider-Man makes in the PS4 game? He effectively sacrifices his aunt to save New York.

I know it's not his child, but it's a similar decision.

Spider-Man sacrificed an old lady. Invincible was asked to change history so his daughter would never have been born.

AN OLD LADY.

Bro, May is his adoptive Mother. His Aunt. His only family left alive. Invincible's choice was way easier than Spider-Man's. He had to choose while watching his last family member die in front of him.

At this point in the story, Invincible is not a hero anymore, but I believe he made the wrong choice. It was the human choice, because I think many would've made the choice he made, but he still sacrificed, thousands, if not millions, so he could keep his daughter.

May was prepared to die, and Invincible himself felt he wasn't fit to be a hero anymore.
