Anissa: A Viltrumite who was infatuated with Invincible to the point that she raped him and gave birth to their son, Marky.

The Lizard League: A group of lizard-themed terrorists, they are parodies of fictional reptile-based villain groups The Serpent Society, HYDRA and Cobra. The Lizard League consisted of lizard-named agents along with an army of human followers. Their secret headquarters lies in the Florida Everglades and bears a striking resemblance to a Cobra Terrordrome. This was not as amazing as I thought it would be. The premise was a tried and tested one: if you've seen it once, you've seen it a million times before, that kind of thing. Half-human, half-alien teenager gets superpowers, dons a spandex suit, joins a team of teenagers (aptly named Teen Team), and saves the world... or just one guy, for now. Coalition of Planets: A group of aliens who came together to prevent the Viltrumites from taking over the universe.The art was pretty bad TBH. I really didn’t dig the art style. I’ll put it this way, I probably could’ve drawn this book... there’s a reason I want to write comics, not draw them. Mark Grayson/Invincible is our superhero main character, son of an ordinary woman and a man who happens to be this world’s “Superman”. Mark is your average teen going to an average high school in a nondescript American town, who one day finds out he’s developed superpowers. He can fly, he has super strength, so he follows in his dad’s footsteps and becomes a superhero too. So, Invincible is a title that's been around for years. Years. This volume collects issues 1-4, first published in 2003. Right now, Kirkman has written 127 issues. Man, that's a long run. I've heard really great comments about this series from people I really trust so I decided to give this a chance. And I liked it, it was a nice introduction to the series. Omni-Man is a playable DLC character in Mortal Kombat 1 (2023), voiced by J. K. Simmons, who is reprising the role. [20] Invincible also cameos in the game.

B. N. Winslow: Mark and William's principal at Reginald Vel Johnson High School, and later dean at Upstate College. Robot: Former leader of the Teen Team and leader of the Guardians of the Globe until replaced by the Immortal. Not an actual robot, but a drone body controlled by a malformed human living in a life-support tank, he cloned a new human body for himself using Rex Splode's DNA with the help of the Mauler Twins. Afterward, Robot would become romantically involved with Monster Girl. In Issue #71, he and Monster Girl disappear into a Flaxan portal and return several issues later. Changed from the time he spent in the Flaxan dimension, he becomes an antagonist to Invincible and other heroes who oppose him. Tether Tyrant: A freelance villain with a vest which houses elastic appendages which can pull and throw victims around. Later merged with the sentient alien vest. 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. Potential. That is the word I would use to describe this collection. My review might be a little skewed because I have watched the first season of the television show. I do know where the first story arc is going. That is why I said "potential" because this first collection doesn't really give us anything. It is an introduction to the characters and the universe. That is really it though. You do get a sense of it being more of a mature take on this genre but there really isn't much drama in this collection. You also get a sense of the drama is going to happen but it doesn't here. As for the artwork it is fine. It fits in with my feelings about this whole collection. Nothing stands out.Mark Grayson is a normal high school senior 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. As a compendium, this volume collects a substantial amount of content, providing readers with a substantial and immersive experience. The inclusion of multiple story arcs and issues allows for a deep dive into the Invincible universe. However, it's worth noting that the size and weight of the compendium may pose a challenge for some readers, and the sheer volume of content can be overwhelming for newcomers to the series.
