[Invincible] Question about a certain comic event.

Major comic spoilers, you've been warned.

So I was reading ahead in the Invincible comics, and came across "that" moment. So Mark comes across a female Viltrumite named Anissa, who shows "great interest" in her when they first meet, and later Mark runs into Anissa again after a fight with Atom Eve. Viltrumites had come to Earth to breed with humans to replenish their dwindling populace, but Anissa thinks humans are too weak for her and wants someone strong to father her child, someone like Mark, and let's just say, she wasn't taking no for an answer.

When Eve and Omni-Man catch wind of this, they both seem ready to tear Anissa limb from limb, Omni-Man before he even knew what exactly happened, but Mark stops them from attacking her.

My question ultimately is why Mark felt the need to stand up for the woman who violated him against his will for selfish gain. Is it some form of Stockholm Syndrome or something? Any answers are greatly appreciated.

He doesn't want his father and girlfriend to become killers.

Omniman is, of course, still only recently redeemed from being a genocidal monster. Meanwhile, Eve's greatest regret is choosing punishing her abusers over saving her family, and her powers could easily become weapons of mass destruction if she let loose. Both have a lot to lose, psychologically, from cold blooded killing, no matter how justified it might be.

They're moving away from violence. Everyone is. He doesn't want to be the reason they move back.
