Plot synopsis

Mark Grayson is a normal high school freshman with a normal part-time job whose father, Nolan Grayson, is an extraterrestrial of the planet Viltrum (with humanoid forms similar to Kryptonians) known as Omni-Man, the most powerful superhero on the planet. At age seventeen, Mark begins to display super powers as a result of his Viltrumite ancestry. According to Nolan, the Viltrumite race pioneers the entire cosmos on a mission of benevolence and enlightenment.

Initially the first three volumes focus on Mark as Invincible, who begins working as a superhero with his father acting as his mentor, and meeting other heroes (including Robot, Rex Splode, Dupli-Kate and Atom Eve). His exploits range from discovering that his physics teacher has been turning his students into human bombs, to foiling a plan by the Mauler Twins to make an army of robots. Meanwhile, Omni-Man is kidnapped by aliens and taken to another dimension. He returns after what seems to be only a few days but was actually eight months to him.

The story explores various arcs such as when Mark travels to alternate dimensions and when he fights Thragg to determine the fate of Earth.

Publication history

Ryan Ottley, Robert Kirkman, and Cory Walker at Lucca Comics & Games 2018

While Kirkman has been the sole writer of the series, Walker and Ottley have contributed the art. Walker cocreated the book and provided art from #1 to #7 as well as #127–132. Ottley assumed art duties with issue #8 and drew all other issues. Kirkman has provided back-up space for a few aspiring comic creators, most notably Benito Cereno and Nate Bellegarde. The series is known for its extreme graphic violence despite its colorful nature and visuals.

The series ended with issue #144, with Ryan Ottley "coming back to the book" for the final twelve-issue sequence. The double-sized final issue was released on February 14, 2018. In April 2022, it was announced that a Battle Beast story would be published in Skybound X #25, with Kirkman and Ottley reuniting for the story; it was published on July 20, 2022. In October 2022, it was announced that, in celebration of the series's 20th anniversary in 2023, its first issue would be getting a reprinted facsimile edition reprint and a deluxe edition reprint, compendiums 1-3 would be getting comic shop exclusive hardcover versions, and there would be a reprint of the series in a new 6"x9" graphic novel format with new covers from Cory Walker and Dave McCaig, an Invincible Universe compendium, and a secret announcement in January 2023 (which was later revealed to be a teaser for season two of the animated show).

Characters

Grayson family

• Mark Grayson: A 17-year-old high school student and a Viltrumite/human hybrid who becomes the superhero Invincible.
• Nolan Grayson: Mark's father, Debbie's husband, and formerly the greatest superhero of Earth known as Omni-Man. He was originally sent by the Viltrumites to prepare the Earth to be conquered by them, but has a change of heart and begins showing compassion for others after nearly killing Mark after his secret is revealed. He works together with Mark, Allen, and his second son Oliver to combat the upcoming threat of the Viltrumites before he is crowned their new emperor when it's revealed he was the son of Emperor Argall.
• Debbie Grayson: Mark's mother, Nolan's wife, and stepmother of Oliver Grayson.
• Lord Argall: The former emperor of the Viltrumites and the father of Omni-Man and grandfather of Invincible and Oliver Grayson. He was revealed to have been killed by Thadeus which plunged Viltrum into a civil war.
• Oliver Grayson: Mark's alien half-brother. The result of a relationship between Nolan and a member of the Thraxans named Andress, who have short life spans, growing at a rapidly increased rate compared to humans, though his father's DNA is slowing his aging over time. Although his mother is an insectoid, he resembles a Viltrumite/human with purple skin (later fades to pink). Andressa tells Mark to take Oliver to Earth, so that he can have a life with the people there, because their lifespan is longer than her people's and he gets adopted by Debbie. He first takes the sobriquet of Kid Omni-Man and then Young Omni-Man as he attempts to rehabilitate the memory of Omni-Man in the general public. Kid Omni-Man was later killed by Thragg.
• Terra Grayson: The daughter of Atom Eve and Mark Grayson who would go on to become the third Invincible.
• Markus Murphy: Also known as Marky, he is the son of Mark and Anissa after the latter raped the former. He would go on to become Kid Invincible.

Superheroes

• Atom Eve: Samantha Eve Wilkins is a former classmate of Mark's and member of the Teen Team. Eve was created as a result of a government experiment to create a human super-weapon for the military. She was born with an extensive knowledge of biological and chemical sciences and can manipulate all matter on a molecular level, although a neural mental block was implanted while she was a fetus that stops her from manipulating living animals and other beings. In the event of a severe enough or near-fatal trauma she is able to break her mental block and her powers are bolstered to nigh-omnipotent levels for a few seconds. Eventually, she and Mark realize their true feelings for each other and the pair start dating, fall in love, and get married after Eve gives birth to their daughter Terra.
• Allen the Alien: Previously a Champion Evaluation Officer who worked for the Coalition of Planets, he tested the skills of various powered heroes on each planet in order to determine if there was a suitable "champion" who could defeat a Viltrumite. He was born in a breeding program after his race was almost eradicated by the Viltrumites. He was bred to hopefully be able to defeat a Viltrumite and was the only successful child born of the program. He was later promoted to leader of the Coalition of Planets after the death of Thadeus by Thragg during their failed sneak attack on Viltrum and led the Coalition of Planets in the war against Thragg and his Thraxan/Vilturm hybrid army.
• The Guardians of the Globe: A superhero team. The original incarnation was brutally murdered by Omni-Man. A second incarnation was formed led by Robot until he went off to fight the Flaxans and then a third incarnation was formed that lasted until Robot's coup.
  • The Immortal: Unkillable leader of the Guardians of the Globe and currently married to Dupli-Kate. He can resurrect himself as long as most of his body parts are near each other. It is suggested in flashbacks that one of his past identities was in fact Abraham Lincoln. In the present storyline, he is alive and was briefly beheaded by Omni-Man. The Mauler Twins dug up his body and reattached his head causing The Immortal to live again. Revealed to rule the world as a mad tyrant in the far alternate future, he is killed by a time-travelling Invincible at The Immortal's behest, and his body parts are separated and buried far away from each other blocking his ability to resurrect. Invincible prevents the future The Immortal from going mad in his own timeline by giving The Immortal the assistance of Robot's brain to rule with suggestive guidance after Invincible leaves him in charge of Earth following Robot's downfall.

He lost his hand and was shot in the head while fighting the Lizard League. After recovering, he matured emotionally and later sacrificed himself to kill a hostile alternate-dimension Invincible by charging his own skeleton to explode.
  • Dupli-Kate: Kate Cha is a former member of the Teen Team and the Guardians of the Globe who can create an army of duplicates of herself. She eventually becomes the Immortal's wife and has children with him.
  • Bulletproof: Zandale Randolph is a superhero with abilities similar to Invincible, but nowhere near as powerful. Bulletproof gains membership to both second and third iterations of the Guardians of the Globe, where he remained until the team was dissolved following Robot's coup. On a related note, Bulletproof was one of the proposed names for the title character before the series saw print. Bulletproof later becomes the second Invincible to fill in for Mark when the latter temporarily loses his powers, but continues to use Invincible's costume design even after Mark recovers. He eventually betrays the Guardians to side with Robot when the latter took over the world. His face was scarred when The Immortal activated a bomb hidden inside himself to stage a prison break.
  • Shrinking Ray: Former member of the Guardians of the Globe who had the ability to shrink his body. He was consumed by Komodo Dragon of the Lizard League.
  • Monster Girl: Amanda is a girl who was cursed by a gypsy, now able to shapeshift into a large ogre-like creature with superhuman strength and invulnerability. A side effect is that with each change into monster form, her normal self becomes younger physically. Her boyfriend, Robot, however figures out a solution that halts the side-effects of the curse, allowing her to develop normally. She follows Robot into the portal to fight the Flaxans where they become trapped for almost a year in their home dimension, but nearly a millennia in the Flaxan dimension where time works differently. By the time she returns to her home dimension her body has only aged by 12 years. She rebels against Robot when she finds out he tried to have her son, whom she had previously not been aware of, executed.
  • Shapesmith: A Martian disguised as human astronaut Rus Livingston who uses his metamorphic powers to change his shape.

A reformed Darkwing joined the Guardians of the Globe. He can teleport himself and others via the Shadow-verse using any shadow large enough to envelop him. During the battle with extra-dimensional Invincibles, he drags one into the Shadow-verse and gets trapped. Decades later he is able to escape from the Shadow-verse.
• Fightmaster and Drop Kick: Two time-traveling martial arts masters who were dispatched to find items in the past that could be used to kill their mad tyrant king, The Immortal, who turns out had been trying to secretly orchestrate his assassination with all attempts failed.

Enemies

In an attempt to amass a huge amount of knowledge about the multi-verse that he believes he'll be able to use to better his world, he builds a machine with the aid of the Mauler Twins that will connect him to and access the minds of every Angstrom Levy in every universe. The experiment gets aborted mid-process causing the machine to explode and creating a chain reaction that wipes out every Angstrom Levy in every universe except his own. He is horribly disfigured and goes mad from having so many Angstrom Levy minds collected in his own and becomes obsessed with torturing and killing Invincible, as Levy blames him for the accident. Angstrom uses his ability to travel to other universes to heal and strengthen himself while also trying multiple times to attack Invincible using his portals to disorient and tire out Invincible, he also threatens and hurts Debbie, Oliver, and Eve, and in one attempt ports several evil Invincibles from alternate universes to cause destruction and havoc across his Invincible's world. Mark becomes equally obsessed with stopping Levy leading to rash decisions with harsh consequences for Mark. Levy regains his sanity thanks to Eve, but is then abducted by one of the few surviving evil alternate-universe Invincible's and taken to that Invincible's universe where he is tortured.

Several of Kirkman's superheroes. Cover art by Ryan Ottley

In 2003 and 2004, Image and Robert Kirkman published several other superhero series: Tech Jacket pencilled in a manga style by E. J. Su (cancelled at #6), the 3-issue Capes Inc. series drawn by Mark Englert and three oneshots starring Brit, the first two with artwork from Tony Moore and the third with artwork by Cliff Rathburn.

In 2007, Brit was launched as an ongoing full-color series written by Bruce Brown, with artwork by Cliff Rathburn. The series was overseen and edited by Robert Kirkman. In late 2007, a two issue mini-series starring Atom Eve was released.

Tech Jacket was first collected as a digest-sized, black and white graphic novel and later reissued in regular sized, full color and a cover scheme similar to Kirkman's other trade paper backs. Capes was collected as a trade paperback in summer 2007, and the three Brit one-shots were colored by Val Staples and published as a collection in 2007, as well.

At first shown to barely coexist in the same universe, the characters have since been integrated into Invincible's book. Tech Jacket was an ongoing series that tied into Invincible #27, and the character has been seen in the background of various battles during the series. The characters from Capes have also been supporting characters seen mainly in large superhero battles Invincible participates in, and the series ran as a back-up in the Invincible book starting with #27. Brit has had an even less substantial role, appearing a couple of times in the aforementioned brawls (understandable considering that after the last book Brit was somewhat-retired). Brit later went on to become the leader of the Guardians of the Globe and was featured heavily in comic spin-offs Guarding the Globe and Invincible Universe. In The Astounding Wolf-Man, Art, Invincible's tailor, appeared, designing the title character's costume. Wolf-man has also appeared in Invincible #48 & 49.
