About
I Am A Victim Of My Own Success is a catchphrase and series of memes, including image macros, referencing a scene from the Invincible animated series season three finale in which the character Conquest (voiced by Jeffrey Dean Morgan) says, "I am a victim of my own success" during a monologue. The episode was released on March 12th, 2025, and the scene became the subject of memes as early as March 13th in which an image of Conquest saying the line with a bloody nose is attached to funny captions about being the victim of your own success. The line was also compared to DJ Khaled's album, Suffering From Success.
Origin
On March 12th, 2025, season three, episode eight of Invincible, the season's finale, was released. In the episode, Conquest, a high-ranking Viltrumite warrior, arrives on Earth and almost immediately gets in a fight with Mark. At one point in the episode, while he has Mark on the ground, hurt, he begins a monologue about how the other Vviltrumites fear him for his power, saying at one point, "I am a victim of my own success."
On March 13th, the scene was uploaded by YouTuber[1] Gussy, garnering over 400,000 views in four days.
I am so lonely. All the other Viltrumites are scared of me. No one talks to me. No one wants to be my friend, they think I am unstable. They send me from planet to planet committing atrocities in their name. And as I get better at it they fear me more and more. I am a victim of my own success. Conquest; I don't even get a real name, only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and no one sees it. Some days I feel so alone I could cry but I don't. I never do, because what would be the point? Take it to your grave.
That same day, Redditor u/QbicKrash posted an image macro to the subreddit /r/dankmemes[2] using an image from the episode of Conquest standing over Mark with a bloody nose, saying, "I am a victim of my own success," under the caption, "when you dig too deep for that crusty booger blocking your nose and finally get it," garnering over 14,000 upvotes in three days.
