Invincible is an American adult animated superhero television series created by Robert Kirkman for the streaming service Amazon Prime Video, based on the Image Comics comic book series of the same name he co-created with Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley. It is produced by Skybound Entertainment, Wind Sun Sky Entertainment, Point Grey Pictures, and Amazon MGM Studios. The series follows teenager Mark Grayson, a human-alien hybrid, who becomes a crime-fighting superhero known as "Invincible" under the guidance of his father, Nolan / Omni-Man, the most powerful superhero on the planet. As he adjusts to his new powers, Mark struggles to balance his personal life with his superhero duties and is forced to prove that he can live up to his father, unaware of a conspiracy that threatens the world and leading him to question the true nature of his role. Steven Yeun stars in the series as Mark, alongside J. K. Simmons and Sandra Oh as Mark's father and mother, Nolan and Debbie Grayson, respectively, while the remaining cast members have recurring roles.

Invincible premiered its eight-episode first season across March and April 2021, after which Amazon renewed the series for a second and third season. A prequel special, "Invincible: Atom Eve", was released in July 2023. The eight-episode second season was divided into two parts, first released in November 2023, then across March and April 2024. The eight-episode third season was released between February and March 2025. The eight-episode fourth season was released between March and April 2026. A fifth season has been announced ahead of its release.

The series has received widespread critical acclaim, with praise for its action sequences, story, voice performances (particularly Yeun, Oh, and Simmons), faithfulness to the comics, and emotional weight. It has been nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards, two Annie Awards and the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Animated Series.

Premise

Mark Grayson is a seemingly typical teenager whose father, Nolan Grayson, also known as "Omni-Man", is the most powerful superhero on Earth.[2] Shortly after his 17th birthday, Mark begins to develop powers of his own and learns how to wield them in order to fight injustice as "Invincible", with help from his father. However, his father turns out to not be as heroic as he thought, as he hides a dark secret, which starts to slip when he brutally murders the members of the world's greatest superhero team, the Guardians of the Globe.[3]

Doc Seismic breaks out of confinement and kidnaps Earth's superheroes using giant underground creatures. When Mark and Eve fail to save the heroes, Cecil sends in Darkwing and Reanimen to help, with Darkwing recapturing Doc Seismic.

Eve moves back in with her parents, promising not to use her powers at home if they become more accepting of her duties as a hero. Debbie forms a relationship with her colleague Paul and reveals to him Nolan, Mark, and Oliver's secret identities, angering Mark. The Maulers break into a missile silo, planning to launch an EMP device to destroy the world's communication systems, and incapacitate the attacking Guardians. Mark destroys the missile while Oliver, against Mark and Debbie's wishes, kills the Maulers. He reveals to Mark his indifference to killing, believing Nolan may be right, worrying Mark.

Later, while on a date with Eve, Fightmaster and Dropkick forcibly recruit Mark and bring him to their future, believing he can save their Earth from its tyrannical king, the Immortal. Driven mad by his immense power and immortality, he blames Mark for his eventual abandonment of Earth and demands he fight him to the death to bring him peace. Reluctantly, Mark fights and is eventually forced to kill the Immortal. Returning to the present, a shaken Mark finds solace with Eve. Meanwhile, Nolan faces execution until Allen breaks free, liberates their fellow inmates, gains Battle Beast's help in fending off the Viltrumites, and feigns defeat to spur Nolan into action.

Meanwhile, Titan is pressured by Mr. Liu, a fellow crime boss and the leader of a criminal organization called the Order, into breaking out Multi-Paul or Liu will kill his family.

Wishing to take the night off to celebrate William's birthday, Mark ignores Scott while Shapesmith answers his challenge. Scott defeats Shapesmith and flees to his wife Becky and son Jack, fearing GDA retaliation. As Rudy works with Monster Girl to stop her powers from de-aging her body when she uses them, Rae confesses to Rex that she plans to retire from superhero work, which he accepts before they kiss. Amidst a memorial for the Chicago massacre, Scott takes the name "Powerplex" and tries to lure out Mark again, but is defeated and captured by Eve. Nonetheless, Scott escapes and returns to Becky, who suggests he stages her and Jack's kidnapping and use them as bait.

24 7 "What Have I Done?" Haylee Herrick Robert Kirkman March 6, 2025 (2025-03-06)
Angstrom sends his Invincible variants to destroy Earth and tarnish Mark's image. The GDA, the Guardians, and Earth's heroes are overwhelmed and suffer heavy losses. Scott briefly escapes; Eve is incapacitated; Rex sacrifices himself to save Rudy, Monster Girl, and Bulletproof; Darkwing is presumed dead; and the Immortal, Kate, Samson, and Shapesmith are wounded. When the surviving Invincibles turn on Angstrom, he traps them on a desolate Earth before battling Mark. Mark overpowers and nearly kills Angstrom, but he escapes to the Technicians, advanced cybernetic surgeons who previously healed him. Angstrom orders them to fix his wounds, but they refuse, demanding he repay them for all they have done for him. In the aftermath of Angstrom's attack, an aged Viltrumite envoy named Conquest arrives to survey Mark's subjugation of Earth for the Viltrum Empire and is disappointed by his lack of progress. Devastated by the destruction and deaths directed at him, Mark charges at Conquest to vent his rage.
25 8 "I Thought You'd Never Shut Up" Sol Choi Robert Kirkman March 13, 2025 (2025-03-13)
Conquest and Mark fight, destroying cities and maiming each other in the process. Oliver and Eve attempt to intervene, but are injured. Nonetheless, Eve temporarily overcomes her mental blocks, allowing her to reconstruct her body and burn Conquest's skin off before Mark seemingly kills him. Mark awakens in the hospital, where Debbie apologizes for bringing him into this world, though Mark says he does not blame her. At Rex's funeral, Rudy changes his name to Rex to honor him. As the world rebuilds, Rus builds up an army of Sequid-possessed humans, a group of aliens find Battle Beast, and the Technicians fully heal Angstrom before working out a partnership to claim a new world. Cecil reveals to Donald he has captured a comatose Conquest and placed him in an underground prison, intending to interrogate him about the Viltrum Empire. Mark tells Oliver he was right to kill people, promising to do so to anyone who threatens their family. Meanwhile, Darkblood meets with Satan to help reinstate him as Hell's ruler by exploiting a powerful being on Earth.

Production

Development

A live-action film based on the Image Comics comic book series Invincible was revealed in April 2017 to be in development at Universal Pictures, with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who were fans of the comics, hired as the writers and directors. The duo were set to produce the film alongside James Weaver through their company Point Grey Pictures, while Invincible co-creator Robert Kirkman also joined to produce alongside David Alpert, Bryan Furst, and Sean Furst through his company Skybound Entertainment, which had a first-look deal with Universal for the film.[10] However, when the series was announced, the film remained in hiatus, until on January 26, 2021, when it was revealed that the film was still in development and would exist separately from the series.[11][12] In a 2023 interview, Rogen stated that the animated series has had a strong influence on the live-action film adaptation in development at Universal, which is essentially being developed as a live-action version of the animated series.[13]

On August 11, 2017, Kirkman, with his company Skybound Entertainment, signed a deal with Amazon to develop various series for Amazon Prime Video. However, it was revealed that series that were already in production or development with other studios, would not be developed for Amazon.[14] Kirkman revealed that he was interested on developing a series of the Invincible comic series, but that would not be possible at the moment because Universal was developing a film based on the comic series.[15][16]

However, on June 19, 2018, it was announced that Amazon had given a series order to the project for a first season consisting of eight episodes.[17] It was also revealed that the series would be animated and its episodes would be hour-long.[18][19][20] Kirkman chose traditional hand-drawn animation, realizing from the CGI adaptation of Super Dinosaur that 3D modeling's lengthy and costly process would limit the number of new characters per episode.[21] Robert Kirkman and Simon Racioppa serve as co-showrunners, with both also serving as executive producers alongside David Alpert, Margaret M. Dean, Catherine Winder, Seth Rogen, and Evan Goldberg. Helen Leigh and Cory Walker serves as co-executive producers. Production companies involved with the series include Skybound Entertainment.[22][3][23][24][25]

On April 29, 2021, after the release of the final episode of the first season, Amazon renewed the series for a second and third season.[26][27] In April 2023, Kirkman stated that the second season would focus on Angstrom Levy, a supervillain with access to multiple dimensions.[28] In April 2024, Amazon was reported to have renewed the series for a fourth and fifth season, although IGN subsequently reported this was not accurate.[29][30] In May 2024, The Immortal voice actor Ross Marquand said that season 3 "is nearly finished" and would be released in early 2025.[31] In July 2024, Amazon officially renewed the series for a fourth season.[32] In July 2025, it was announced that Amazon renewed the series for a fifth season.[33]

Casting

Lead actors Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh, and JK Simmons

On January 31, 2019, the cast of the series was revealed, with Steven Yeun to portray Mark Grayson / Invincible, J. K. Simmons portraying Nolan Grayson / Omni-Man; Sandra Oh, Mark Hamill, Seth Rogen, Gillian Jacobs, Andrew Rannells, Zazie Beetz, Walton Goggins, Jason Mantzoukas, Mae Whitman, Chris Diamantopoulos, Malese Jow, Kevin Michael Richardson, Grey Griffin and Max Burkholder also joining the cast of the series.[34] On July 18, 2020, Kirkman confirmed the casting in a live video on Twitter.[35][non-primary source needed]

Due to Yeun and Oh both being of Korean descent, Oh's character Debbie Grayson was made to be Korean American in the animated adaptation, with her son Mark Grayson being half-Korean.[36][37] Their Korean identity is not directly mentioned in the show,[36] but a painting featuring Hangul text that reads 안녕 (annyeong; 'hello') is shown in the Grayson home.[38] The decision came from a desire to increase diverse representations in the series. Similarly, Amber Bennett, Mark's ex-girlfriend, was made an African American teenager in the adaptation.[36][37] Originally closeted before coming out midway through the series comic run, the character of William Clockwell, Mark's best friend, is instead made openly gay from the start of the series.[39]

In January 2025, it was announced that Aaron Paul, Simu Liu, Jonathan Banks, Kate Mara, Xolo Maridueña, John DiMaggio, Tzi Ma, Doug Bradley, and Christian Convery would join the voice cast for the third season.[40]

In July 2025, it was announced that Matthew Rhys had been cast as Dinosaurus.[33][41] In October that same year, it was announced that Lee Pace had been cast as Thragg.[42] In January 2026, it was announced that Danai Gurira had been cast as Universa.[43]

Animation and title sequence

When the show was confirmed to be animated, it was confirmed that Wind Sun Sky Entertainment and its partner company, Skybound North, would be animating and co-producing the series.[1][44][45]

Kirkman praised the work of the show's animation studio, Maven Image Platform. Kirkman noted in particular the Guardians' deaths at the end of episode 1, and the fight between Mark and Omni-Man in episode 8.[46] Two additional animation studios were brought on for season 2 according to an interview with Margaret Dean.[47]

The series title sequence is recognized by appearing right where a character would have said "Invincible", typically the first instance in each episode. Throughout the first season, the title sequence becomes progressively bloodier with each episode. Kirkman revealed that he wanted to represent the dark days that lay ahead by using the increasingly bloody title cards. Racioppa revealed that he wanted each episode to be different from the previous ones to convince the audience to not skip it.[48][49] The animation style borrows from the look of Saturday morning cartoons from the early 2000s, and has also been noted for its anime-like visuals and aesthetics.[28]

The second season's title cards feature a similar progression, cracking and shattering to uncover a black-and-blue design underneath, a reference to Invincible's secondary costume worn between issues #51 to #70.[50]

The third season's title cards feature a glitch effect followed by a new color palette from the previous episode, each representing an alternate multiverse version of Invincible and their respective costume.[51]

The fourth season's title cards feature a white and gray background ripping apart to unveil the vacuum of space, before a blinding flash of light changes it to a blue and white background.[citation needed]

Music

John Paesano composes the score to the series.[52]

Release

After Amazon ordered the first season of the series, it was confirmed that it would consist of eight episodes.[53] On January 22, 2021, during a livestream celebrating the 18th anniversary of the first issue of Invincible,[54] Kirkman revealed that the series would debut on March 25, 2021 (midnight EST), with the first 3 episodes.[55][56] The remaining episodes would release weekly thereafter.[57] On January 20, 2023, a teaser trailer was released, in which Steven Yeun and Seth Rogen as Invincible and Allen the Alien respectively discuss the upcoming season.[58] During San Diego Comic-Con on July 21, 2023, a trailer for the second season was shown, and it was announced that part one of the second season would premiere on November 3, 2023,[59] with part two debuting on March 14, 2024.[60] It was also announced that a special episode, called "Invincible: Atom Eve", would release later that day.[61][62][63] The third season premiered on February 6, 2025 with its first three episodes, with the remaining five episodes released weekly.[64][65] The fourth season premiered on March 18, 2026 with its first three episodes, while remaining episodes were released on a weekly basis up until the season finale on April 22.[66]

In other media

The eighth episode of the series' first season spawned a popular Internet meme known as "Think, Mark".[96][97] A 2022 promotional episode of the web series Death Battle! pit Invincible's Omni-Man against The Boys' Homelander,[98] with Amazon Studios' Head of Marketing Adam Bersin having partnered with Rooster Teeth to promote its series, previously including the second season of The Boys, also produced by Amazon.[99] Consequently, both Omni-Man and Homelander were made available as playable characters in the 2023 video game Mortal Kombat 1, with J. K. Simmons reprising his role as the former.[100] In November 2023, a role-playing video game titled Invincible Presents: Atom Eve was released; the game is loosely based on the animated series' continuity with some alterations and a new original story.[101] In February 2024, a mobile game RPG titled Invincible: Guarding the Globe was released.[102] In April 2024, Skybound was revealed to be internally developing an AAA video game based on Invincible. Over 30 employees were reported to be working on the game, which included industry veterans who had worked for Electronic Arts, Activision Blizzard, and AMZ Games, while a fundraiser campaign was also being established.[30] A fighting game based on the series, titled Invincible VS, was released on April 30, 2026.[103]
