What Happened to D.A. Sinclair in Invincible?

by

Invincible, which was originally created by Robert Kirkman in 2003, is a comic that gained popularity among comic book enthusiasts and TV viewers alike due to Kirkman’s role as one of the producers and creative minds behind “The Walking Dead” TV series. Fans of both Kirkman’s work and actor Steven Yeun eagerly anticipated their reunion in this project, as they once again joined forces to transform a comic book into a successful television show.

The unconquered series has debuted the initial three episodes of its third run, sparking conversations and guesswork among viewers on where the storyline is heading next. Notably, there has been a flurry of questions and theories surrounding one of the show’s intriguing characters – District Attorney Sinclair.

Who Is D.A. Sinclair?

The narrative unfolds around Mark Grayson, portrayed by Steven Yeun, who is the offspring of the world’s most potent superhero. Similar to other superheroes, Mark encounters his share of adversaries and challenges – one of whom is D.A. Sinclair. Sinclair makes his debut in the series towards the end of the first season, appearing in episode 6. Initially, audiences perceive him as a sort of rogue scientist – a common antagonist figure seen in superhero entertainment.

In the debut episode, it’s unveiled that he’s been modifying people into cyborgs, creating beings who are more machine than human. His ambition appears to be eliminating human vulnerability by redesigning them, regardless of the consequences. Unlike most people, he views others as issues to solve or defective entities that he can repair, rather than fellow humans. However, despite his attempts, he and his cyborgs were ultimately overpowered by Invincible in this episode. Yet, D.A. Sinclair’s presence, both for Mark and the viewers, was not limited to just this encounter.

Where D.A. Sinclair Is Now

In the remainder of the first season, D.A. Sinclair was present in episodes 7 and 8. Despite being defeated by Invincible and handed over to Cecil Stedman and the Global Defense Agency, his story didn’t end there. Impressed by Sinclair’s abilities, Stedman chose to utilize him for good rather than imprisoning him. Ultimately, he managed to persuade Sinclair to keep refining his ReAnimen technology so that his cyborgs could be transformed into a powerful and loyal army of soldiers, serving to protect the world from Omni-Man.

Sinclair made a brief appearance in episode 7 of season 2, continuing to work on his experiments. He was reluctant to let Stedman use the ReAnimen against Anissa before they were fully prepared. At this stage in the series, Sinclair had taken more of a supporting role. However, it remains unclear if this will persist in future seasons. During the gap between his departure at the end of Season 1 and his return at the end of Season 2, there was much discussion among fans regarding the whereabouts and reasons for the scarcity of Sinclair’s character.

Why D.A. Sinclair Was Recast

Initially, the character D.A. Sinclair was brought to life on screen by actor Ezra Miller, who is well-known among fans of the show as the live action portrayal of Barry Allen, also known as The Flash, in Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2017). However, over the past five years, Miller’s acting career has been marred by their unpredictable and troubling actions. They have been arrested several times for disturbing public behavior and violent acts. Additionally, they have faced legal issues and public criticism due to an inappropriate relationship with and threatening behavior towards a young activist named Tokata Iron Eyes.

Despite the fact that the charges of grooming and intimidating conduct concerning Tokata were eventually dismissed, there have been numerous instances where Miller’s volatile behavior has come to light. These incidents have not only had a negative impact on their professional life but also made it difficult for others to collaborate with them due to the legal issues they’ve faced as a result of their actions.

It appears that some viewers had worries about a character they believed could significantly enhance the show being underutilized due to the actor’s conduct. However, when Sinclair reappeared at the end of season 2, sharp-eyed viewers spotted a change in the character — the studio had discreetly replaced the role. From season 2 and beyond, the character of D.A. Sinclair has been brought to life by Eric Bauza, an exceptionally skilled actor who has previously worked on shows like X-Men ’97 and Bob’s Burgers. With this fresh recasting, it’s possible that the character will play a more significant role in upcoming episodes.
