The Infinity Ray Expedition was a profound space event in Invincible, in which, following Nolan's enlistment into the Coalition of Planets, both he and Allen were tasked with retrieving the Infinity Ray of the fabled Space Racer, after learning of its existence, given how it could be an invaluable asset in the final battle against the Viltrum Empire. This was one of three events that signified the dawn of the Viltrumite War, the climactic event between the Coalition and the Viltrum Empire.
Assembly
After departing from Prison Asteroid and entering the Viltrumite Cruiser, Nolan gives Allen a crash course on how the Viltrumites were nearly extinct. Even an emotional, teary Allen stated that the story had touched him in a way that made him glad to have never met his father. Thaedus commissioned General Telia, Allen, and Nolan to discreetly retrieve new weapons. With the help of Captain Pikell, they decided to locate the Infinity Ray. Their task would take a day of traveling, and Allen and Telia wasted no time with each other as if there were no tomorrow.
Vengeful Liberation
The following day, the Venture was able to travel to the location, albeit asteroids, with a happy Pikell assuring they had reached it, but the rest were far from satisfied.
Nolan and Allen decided to take into space and find the Infinity Ray themselves. Discovering a giant asteroid like a cave, Nolan mentions that he "previously" defeated Space Racer and buried the Racer within the asteroid, in hopes the nomad would die of starvation. They found his Infinity Ray, attempting to obtain it, only for the weapon to quickly move on its own.
Nolan and Allen attempt to find its original owner, only to discover his body is not dead after all. After a century, Space Racer still emerges, firing a powerful beam that causes a hole within several asteroids. Nolan was assured Space Racer died, but the Racer corrects him, and a two-on-one brawl ensues. Space Racer is shown to be very nimble and decisive in defeating the Unopan and Viltrumite.
Quickly, Allen stops the fight, declaring at first that they were looking for his weapon, but now, with his help, they can defeat the Viltrumites. Space Racer, enraged, is then convinced to join the efforts after Nolan apologizes, claiming his efforts were a different life. Surprised at the apology, he is convinced to join the efforts for the moment, asking for food in the venture. Allen offers Kanzlok, while Space Racer claims he has been dead for a century, not 100 centuries.
Aftermath
Space Racer then heads to Talescria, where Telia has already alerted the Coalition of his soon-to-be arrival, alongside Thaedus nodding in bolstering new allies for the war efforts.
By the final months of the Viltrumite War, and after the Graysons all vanished, Space Racer participated in many of the events, crippling the Empire's heavy muscle.
