[[folder:Invincible]]
!!Invincible (Mark Grayson)
[[quoteright:345:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_invincible.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/StevenYeun
->"''It's about time.''"
\\
The eponymous hero and main character. Mark starts as a 17-year old young man who, after finally gaining his long-awaited powers, discovers the realities of being a superhero.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Not to say the source material didn't have any but this version gets hit with this early after he experiences an alien invasion for the first time. He also reveals that he's [[WellDoneSonGuy desperate to prove himself to his dad]]. [[spoiler: In episode 6 and 7 Mark becomes frustrated and agitated that his relationship with Amber has been tarnished due to refusing to tell the truth to her as well as attempting to reveal his secret identity only for it to fall flat when she reveals that she already knew. Mark starts to blow off William's advice and when he talks to Eve starts to act self-centered and self-loathing over his mistakes and actions, and only snaps out of it once he thinks his father is in danger.]]
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While comic!Mark was a good guy, he also was a lot more indifferent toward the collateral damage, including loss of life, that came up in his early hero days. Seeing one of his classmates blow up wasn't even worth a mention in the comics, where in the show seeing someone die or failing to save someone causes him quite a bit of trauma to the point he questions if he even should be a hero.
* AdaptationalWimp:
** Mark has a much steeper learning curve than in the comics, where superhero-ing was so easy for him that it gave him a false sense of security in the job.
** His strength at the beginning of the story in the show is lesser than what it was in the comic, which was exactly what gave Mark a false sense of security in the first place, Mark in the show is taking a lot more damage from his earlier foes.
* CivvieSpandex: In his first foray into the superhero life. He dons very garish outfit, with only goggles and a bandana over his mouth to hide his identity.
* ClothingDamage: Just like in the source material, sometimes Mark's costume takes as much of a beating as he does. Makes you wonder how much Art has his work cut out for him.
* FingerlessGloves: His ''Invincible'' superhero costume has a yellow pair of these, that go to his forearms. Hard to tell if they're a part of the suit or a separate article of clothing.
* InformedFlaw: Everyone says that Invincible's time management skills are terrible given that he stands up Amber a few times for training or hero duty, and that [[spoiler:his refusal to tell her the truth ends their relationship]]. Except...he's not running the training sessions, his dad is. Given [[spoiler:Nolan's ulterior motives and his disdain for all humans except Debbie and Mark]], it's hinted that Nolan is stalling Invincible on purpose to sabotage his relationship with Amber or is being InnocentlyInsensitive about it. Cecil seems to be doing the same thing by insisting that Invincible always answer the call of duty, while not [[DoubleStandard holding Atomic Eve to the same ones]] when she quits the Teen Team, refuses to join the new Guardians, and processes her own existential crisis. Not to mention that Invincible may be a new hero, but he's made a few enemies already and we all know the trope of a villain going after the love interest. Mark messed up by the fact that the adults in his life are putting too much pressure on him to be like his dad.
* TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife: Mark is constantly late to, canceling, or just missing plans he makes with Amber because of his work as Invincible. She clearly loves him, but is frustrated that he doesn't seem to be taking their relationship seriously. Mark considers telling her that he is Invincible at several points but doesn't. [[spoiler:This comes to a head in episode 6 when Mark has to become Invincible to fight the Reanimen attacking the college he, Amber and William are visiting, he tries to keep his cover by giving Amber the old "I-ran-to-get-help" excuse, but as far as Amber is concerned he ran away when his friends and girlfriend where attacked. The next episode reveals that Amber actually figured out his secret identity a while ago. Her problem with him is the fact that, from her perspective, he never trusted her enough to tell her]].
* OriginsEpisode: The first episode plays this straight as it shows him gaining his powers, his hero name inspired by a speech they're given, and his final scene is his first official fight as Invincible.
* PubertySuperpower: His father tells him that he will get his powers during puberty, although he is a late bloomer, getting them at 17.
* RaceLift: He's half-Korean thanks to his mother's change in race.
* SpiderManSendUp: {{Downplayed}}; he lacks any arachnid powers (due to being the son of the local SupermanSubstitute), but his personality is modeled after the younger incarnations Peter Parker.
* SupermanSubstitute: Well, more like a ComicBook/{{Superboy}} substitute.
* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler: For a few moments in Episode 7, has Mark become more self-centered and rude towards William and Eve after failing to win Amber back. He even contemplates quitting being a hero and ignoring pleads for help until he sees his father supposedly in danger.]]

[[folder:Omni-Man]]
!!Omni-Man (Nolan Grayson)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_omniman.PNG]]
!!! '''Voiced by''': Creator/JKSimmons

Mark's father, Debbie's husband, and Earth's strongest hero. Born on the planet Viltrum, a race of superpowered aliens, Nolan came to Earth over 20 years prior to the series to be its protector.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: [[spoiler: In the comics, he only realized how much he genuinely cared about his family and how much he enjoyed the life he had built on earth in retrospect, long after the Viltrumite Invasion and his part in it. In the show, he comes across as a lot more aware of just how much he enjoys his life on earth and as such, much more conflicted about his actions.]]
* AdaptationExpansion: Due the entire plot thread about what exactly happened with the Guardians of the Globe being expanded into a full long lasting mystery in the show, Nolan is tangentially in events he was never part of in the comics. [[spoiler:Such as being around when Mark decided to help Titan and watching Mark getting crushed by Battle Beast]].
* AdaptationalJerkass: [[spoiler:He was EvilAllAlong in the comics, but he kept that part of himself completely hidden until his direct confrontation with Mark over the matter. Here, after Mark develops his powers, he becomes progressively colder and more domineering, culminating in him refusing to stop a dragon rampage out of spite for Cecil and refusing to step in when his son is being beaten close to death by Battle Beast]].
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: [[spoiler:On the other hand, he doesn't seem to initially dismiss Debbie as a nothing more than a pet like he did in the comics. When trying to rehearse how he's going to confess to Mark that he murdered the original Guardians of the Globe, he says "I love you ''and'' your mother".]]
* AdaptationalWimp: [[spoiler:He kills the Guardians with little to no effort in the comics, but the cartoon shows them holding their own before their inevitable end.]]
* AbusiveParents: Before his son gets powers, he acts like a fairly conventional father. After he gets his powers, he begins to train his son rigorously, and is angry when his son doesn't listen to him. [[spoiler:Seeing his son to be beaten within an inch of his life by Battle Beast and not lifting a finger to help cements him as this.]]
* AffablyEvil: A genuinely loving husband and father [[spoiler:who doesn't hesitate to murder and destroy on an absolutely massive scale]].
* AmbiguousSituation: Why did he suddenly decide to [[spoiler:brutally murder the other Guardians of the Globe]]? He offers no explanation for it during the act itself and the show doesn't hint at anything that might have prompted it. It takes until episode 7 for him to say [[spoiler: he only killed them because it was his 'responsibility', albeit in a practice confession meant for Mark.]]
* AmbiguousSyntax: [[spoiler:His PreMortemOneLiner to the whole Flaxan race is "You don't seem to understand. Earth isn't ''yours'' to conquer." It would sound like a standard DeclarationOfProtection if it wasn't for the emphasis for the "yours"...]]
* BaitTheDog: He comes off as a well-meaning father to Mark as well as husband to Debbie, [[spoiler:before he ends the first episode bringing together the Guardians of the Globe and violently murdering them]].
* BewareTheSuperman: [[spoiler: He's a pretty obvious SupermanSubstitue, as a human-looking nearly all-powerful alien who chooses to protect and fight for earth as a super-hero. However, the series gradually reveals him as a cold-blooded murderer who is not afraid to commit planet-wide genocide. And who moight or might not be planning to conquer earth.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of Season 1.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He presents himself as the heroic savior of the world despite [[spoiler:being a murderous psychopath. After the funeral of the Guardians of the Globe where he calls them his friends, he acts callous and claims they were just his co-workers]].
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: His wife is less than pleased to find out he murdered the Guardians of the Globe]].
* ConflictingLoyalty: [[spoiler:There are hints dropped that he knows how much he does care about his life on Earth, which makes it difficult for him to commit to whatever scheme he's planning, even when both start intersecting in ways that compromise said plan. It comes to a head after Debbie finds concrete evidence that he murdered the Guardians of the Globe. Though he could easily kill her, he instead punches through a wall after she leaves and slumps down in a chair, possibly unsure if he could actually go through with it]].
* ConsummateLiar: [[spoiler:Goes around giving half-truths to Debbie and Mark, all but {{Gaslighting}} them.]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** [[spoiler:For all the measures Nolan took to fake having been the SoleSurvivor of an alleged attack in his killing the rest of the Guardians, he totally goofed and forgot to dispose of his damaged suit from the incident - the suit ''covered'' with signs of damage and injury from the other Guardians. Debbie asks Art to look it over and they realize he killed the Guardians himself, much to Nolan's chagrin.]]
** [[spoiler: Trying to pin the Guardians’ murders on Darkblood ends up making Cecil certain that he’s the one who actually did it. It was an extremely stupid move to accuse the person actively investigating and suspicious of him of the crime.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:As increasingly erratic and cold as he has been around them, ''We Need To Talk'' shows that Nolan does actually love his family, even though that leads him to suffering a crisis due to his ConflictingLoyalty. He's utterly appalled to find out that Cecil's men had been spying on them, and he spends a portion of his fight with the Immortal actually trying to help Mark fight the kaiju]].
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:Possibly...]]
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:During his second fight with the resurrected The Immortal, before he splits him in half, the latter forces his thumbs into his eyesockets. While he doesn't lose them due to being a Viltrumite, it does leave him with bleeding bloodshot eyes.]]
* FlyingBrick: He is super strong and can fly super fast.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: When his murder of the Guardians comes to light for both Debbie and Cecil, this is his excuse. The fact that he doesn't go beyond that is clearly NotHelpingHisCase.]]
** Similarly, [[spoiler: his rehearsal for confessing to Mark has him mentioning it was his 'responsibility' to do it and that he didn't want to do it. He peters out before he can say anything more though.]]
* InkSuitActor: Resembles a younger J.K. Simmons much more than his comic book counterpart does.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: He refuses to stop a dragon from running rampage in Rome to send Cecil a message, even when his wife is begging him to stop it.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: He annihilates the Flaxans and their planet which is very horrific as it may seem, however, the Flaxans committed many war crimes and invasions of other planets before Earth, so we shouldn't feel that bad that Omni-Man killed them all.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler: Hinting at his true nature, he casually brushes off the lives lost in battles and his loved ones' pained reactions towards them, opting to get something to eat after his recovery and after Mark learned an old woman he saved died from her injuries.]]
* LightningBruiser: He levels the Flaxxans' cities through sheer speed alone.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Trying to defeat [[spoiler: the Guardians, he wastes no time in cold-bloodedly murdering them, exchanging no words and focusing on killing as many as he can. In the episode after, he commits a total genocide on the Flaxans to eliminate their threat to his plans without wasting any time.]]
* OneManArmy: Takes on [[spoiler: the Guardians, other superheroes who outnumber him, and holds his own and kills them all.]] Later, he proves this again to the Flaxans, taking it UpToEleven— he's not just a walking army, he's a ''[[PersonOfMassDestruction walking planet killer]]''.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:As he demonstrates when he decimates the Flaxxan civilization, destroying their cities just by flying through them fast enough and leaving a trail of destruction visible from orbit.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:He is left with red bloodshot eyes after his second fight with The Immortal, which considering he also just split said Immortal in half right before his son's (and everyone who witnessed it) very eyes. Understandably leaves Mark very confused and scared of what his father might actually be.]]
* StockSuperheroDayJobs: Nolan is a writer, but it is such a minor part of his life (and Debbie seems to be the main breadwinner anyway) that's probably more of a hobby. The audience can easily miss any reference to it.
* SupermanSubstitute: His looks and powers are clearly based on the Man of Tomorrow. He's got a similar personality too, [[spoiler:[[BewareTheSuperman or so it seems...]]]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: A well respected defender of the planet who [[spoiler:delivered the eulogy of the funeral of the Guardians who he himself brutally murdered.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: From the ending of the first episode onwards, it’s hard to talk about him without going into [[spoiler:him murdering the Guardians and being colder to his family as well as not being as heroic as he has made the public think.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler:Brutally kills War Woman and Green Ghost. Not to mention the female Flaxans that he most likely killed when committing genocide.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Debbie Grayson]]
!!Debbie Grayson
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_debbie_grayson.PNG]]
!!! '''Voiced by''': Creator/SandraOh

Mark's mother and Omni-Man's wife. Debbie is a realtor who has become quite adjusted to being married to a superhero that the usual adventures don't bother her anymore.
----
* AdaptationalIntelligence: [[spoiler:In the comics, Debbie does not realize Nolan is bad news until he attacks Mark. Here, she begins putting together the clues even before Damien Darkblood gives her a push. Eventually she finds out the complete truth with the help of Art and even confronts Nolan about it.]]
* AdaptationalJobChange: In the comics she was a housewife who became a realtor later in the run. Since SocietyMarchesOn and pure housewives are more uncommon these days, she is now a realtor from the start and seems to be the main breadwinner for the family.
* AdultFear: [[spoiler:Your husband of twenty years has been lying to you the entire time and murdered seven of his colleagues, including your friend's partner. Worse, he is planning on swaying your son to his side.]]
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: In episode 6. [[spoiler:"Fuck you, Nolan".]]
* HiddenDepths: In episode 6, when she and Art [[spoiler:go over the damaged Omni-Man suit from the slaughter of the Guardians, she's able to easily recognize every sign of another Guardian's weaponry or methods inflicted upon Nolan besides Red Rush's inflicted friction burns. It implies that for a mere civilian, she's all too familiar with her husband's colleagues and work enough to recognize their weapons and habits.]]
* MoralityPet: When Nolan first came to Earth, he was an entitled asshole who thought Debbie should worship the ground he walked on. After they broke up and got back together, Debbie taught him human customs and he became a more considerate, empathetic person. [[spoiler:Or so she thought. Granted, it's later implied that Omni-Man does legitimately love her, and notably, even after she found out that he murdered the Guardians of the Globe, he doesn't ever consider murdering or even threatening her]].
* NervesOfSteel: She's not afraid to tell off her husband if he steps out of line. [[spoiler:Directly confronting Nolan, who can easily break her like a twig, about his murder of the Guardians of the Globe qualifies her as this]].
* PrecisionFStrike: [[spoiler: And in arguably one of the most badass scenes in the show. When she discovers that Nolan murdered the Guardians and tries to dismiss her confrontation as her being drunk, Debbie gives a pretty good one to him, despite him being ''the most powerful being on the planet''.]]
--> [[spoiler: [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu Fuck you, Nolan.]]]]
* RaceLift: Is Korean rather than her Caucasian comic counterpart.
* SeenItAll: She is unfazed when the White House is destroyed and when her husband gets trapped in an alternate dimension. Twenty years with the Earth's premiere superhero will do that to you. [[spoiler: Harshly subverted when she finds out he killed other heroes he had teamed up with for years.]]
[[/folder]]

!!The Guardians of the Globe

!!!Original

[[folder:In General]]
* AdaptationExpansion: We actually get to see Omni-Man and the Guardians of the Globe in action with a sequence at the White House [[spoiler:before he kills them all]].
* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler:They actually put up a fight against Omni-Man and though he wins, he ends up passing out afterward from his injuries.]]
* CurbStompCushion: [[spoiler:Omni-Man's fight with them plays out differently in the Amazon adaptation. He still kills them all, but the team puts up a much better fight, managing to injure Omni-Man to the point that he's hospitalized for a short period of time following their battle.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of the ComicBook/JusticeLeague, given most of them are expies of DC heroes.
* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: [[spoiler:At the end of the first episode, they're all killed by none other than Omni-Man.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: They all lead their own lives and have their own stories, but as far as ''Invincible'' goes, [[spoiler:this is their end.]]
* MassOhCrap: At the end of the first episode, when [[spoiler:Omni-Man]] tries to attack Immortal. ''Then'' [[spoiler:Red Rush dies, and they realize he really ''is'' trying to kill them.]]
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:They all die at the end of the first episode to reveal that [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope this is not your typical superhero story]], showing what the stakes would be if Superman could wipe out the entire Justice League in only a couple of minutes and the only ones left to protect the Earth are the Teen Titans.]]
* SuperTeam: Duh.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's really hard to talk about them without mentioning [[spoiler:their gruesome demise against Omni-Man]].
* WeHardlyKnewYe: They only appear in the first episode before [[spoiler:they are taken out by Omni-Man]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Immortal]]
!!The Immortal
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_the_immortal.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/RossMarquand

The leader of the Guardians and has been for decades.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: [[spoiler:In the comics, he and Omni-Man have a mutual HiddenDisdainReveal. In the show, he seemed to have legitimately considered Omni-Man a close ally before his betrayal and is visibly ''much angrier'' when he's brought back from the dead and faces the Viltrumite a second time]].
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics Omni-man easily defeated him in both their confrontations, but in the show while the outcome is the same, he at least gets to give Nolan an epic beat down before he loses.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
** Zigzagged. In the comic, he condescendingly speaks down to Bi-Plane before casually chucking him into space, whereas in the show, he immediately does it without exchanging any words with him. Regardless, [[GoodIsNotNice he acts smug both times and he doesn't think much about just killing his villains.]]
** Played straight in that in the comic, he has a HiddenDisdainReveal about Omni-Man before [[spoiler:being killed by him]]. Here, he's much less of a dick, to the point that [[spoiler:he instead believes Omni-Man is being mind-controlled and that he would otherwise never betray them.]]
* AllLovingHero: Unsurprisingly, he's this, [[spoiler:trying to rationalize Omni-Man's violent betrayal as him being mind-controlled and wanting to non-lethally neutralize him. Sadly, it costs him and the rest of the team their lives, assuming he was holding back.]]
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Has existed since the ancient stone age era and has taken part in various wars during his lifetime.
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Apparently [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln Honest Abe]] was an immortal Celtic warrior whom survived his assassination and became a super hero.]]
* CameBackWrong: Subverted, while it appears that there might have been something wrong with him [[spoiler:after the Mauler twins bring him back to life with a mind control collar attached. He actually just woke up unbelievably pissed at Omni-man's betrayal and subsequent murders of the Guardians.]]
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: {{Inverted}}; he's a heroic version of ComicBook/VandalSavage if he had FlyingBrick powers.
* {{Determinator}}: {{Justified Trope}}, considering his powers, but in his [[spoiler: second encounter with Omni-Man, (mere minutes after getting revived by the Maulers) with his arsenal dry and Omni-man’s fist through his chest, Immortal resorts to [[EyeScream trying to gouge Nolan’s eyes out with his thumbs before dying.]] ]]
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:After getting his guts punched out by Omni-Man, he can only quietly mutter, "Why? ''Why?!"'', before receiving [[OffWithHisHead his coup de grâce]].]]
* FlyingBrick: His powerset. [[spoiler:While it does allow him to actually fight Omni-man, it sadly doesn't mean he's a match for a Viltrumite.]]
* GoodIsNotSoft: In a moment of BlackComedy, he throws one of his villains into space and jokes after the fact that it's a sure way to get rid of them permanently.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:How Omni-Man defeats him a second time, another hole in his stomach and cut in half by his bare hands. Although just before that he gives Omni-man one [[EyeScream last parting gift]] before he's defeated.]]
* HealingFactor: A very strong one, its not super accelerated or anything, but given time and just a little help [[spoiler:he will even heal from being beheaded.]]
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: [[spoiler:In his tremendously long life, he was many historical figures, one of which was UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln himself; Honest Abe in modern times is now a traditional costumed superhero]].
* {{Immortality}}: Of TheAgeless variety, having been around since the Stone Age [[spoiler: but was still killed by Omni-Man like the rest of the Guardians. Episode 7 reveals he also has ressurective immortality, as he can be killed but given time (and a little help) he can heal and revive]].
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Gets his head chopped off by Omni-Man after getting his guts punched out.]] [[spoiler:It later gets reattached by the Mauler Twins, enabling him to come back to life and try to get his [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge revenge on Omni-Man]].]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:When the Mauler twins bring him back to life, he's so overcome by revenge that he just straights up guns for Omni-Man without any hesitation. Not even caring the fact that he's fighting a Kaiju with another superhero.]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Once he finally finds Omni-Man again, he doesn't hesitate to immediately gun for the Viltrumite and try to beat the absolute crap out of him.]]
* ScreamingWarrior: [[spoiler: When he's resurrected by The Mauler Twins, the first thing he does when he remembers Omni-Man's attack is fly after him. When he does find him, Immortal ''ignores'' the giant monster and instead targets Omni-Man while screaming that they were once brothers in arms and asking (via screaming) why Omni-Man killed them all.]]
* SupermanSubstitute: While not as blatant as Omni-man, he has shades of this. Due to having FlyingBrick powers and being the leader of a famous superhero team. In fact during one of the flashbacks when [[spoiler:Mauler twins bring him back to life, his first superhero costume looks like an exact duplicate of Superman's debut costume.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: He's definitely got a lot of Spoileriffic stuff about him.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: Immortal is erratic in his rematch against Omni-Man and demands to know why Omni-Man killed him and his friends.]]

[[folder:Darkwing]]
!!Darkwing
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_darkwing.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/LennieJames

A gadget using detective and co-benefactor of the Guardians.
----
* BadassNormal: Compared to his superpowered teammates, he's this.
* CaptainErsatz: An obvious ComicBook/{{Batman}} knock-off.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:He tries attacking Omni-Man from above, only for him to grab Darkwing and ragdoll him, slamming him against the walls and floor.]]
* CurbStompBattle: What ''do'' you expect when a BadassNormal tries to fight a literal '''SupermanSubstitute''' up close?
* IronicDeath: For being based on an iconic BadassNormal superhero who's ''known'' for [[BatmanGambit Batman Gambits]] and obvious "Brain vs Brawn" strategies against superpowered foes, [[spoiler:Darkwing dies trying to fight Omni-Man ''up close'' after flanking him]].
* MetronomicManMashing: [[spoiler:Omni-Man grabs him by the ankle and slams him into the floor twice. The first slam turns his face into a bloody ruin, while the second busts apart his ribcage and splatters his brains across the floor.]]
* RaceLift: Was a white guy in the comics, as the full Batman analogue that he is; [[spoiler:it was his protege, and eventual replacement, that was a black young man]].
* TheTeamNormal: The only member without superpowers. Instead, he compensates with his intelligence, wealth, and gadgets.
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Really, it says a lot that he tries to ambush Omni-Man by ''straight-up falling right on top of him'' after flanking him with explosives. {{Justified|Trope}} as even if he doesn't do that, Darkwing would've still ended up getting killed since he has no contingency plan or KryptoniteFactor to use against Omni-Man.]]
* YourHeadAsplode: [[spoiler:His head turns into chunks once Omni-Man slams his head a second time into the floor.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: Was nothing but a gag character in the comic. Here, he's an effective superhero in his own right,[[spoiler: not that it saves him.]]

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/LaurenCohan

A powerful warrior and co-benefactor of the Guardians.
----
* AdaptedOut: The show changed her civilian life scene from the comics, which was very fanservice laden, so unless you read them you wouldn't know she was a lesbian. She was also being chased by her DarkAndTroubledPast, implied to have fled from her home realm to escape her controlling mother.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Her comic book counterpart is a lesbian, and her solo scene in the comics focuses on her relationship with her girlfriend. The show focuses more on her career as a businesswoman and leaves out the more risque parts of her comic debut, but whether or not this means that her sexuality is unchanged has not been confirmed.
* BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler:She vomits up a mouthful of blood on her cape after Omni-Man [[NeckSnap snaps her neck]] into a complete 180°]].
* CarryABigStick: Her main weapon of choice is a large round-headed mace.

----
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: {{Subverted|Trope}}. [[spoiler:He doesn't knock out or kill Omni-Man after breaking both his wrists from his DefiantToTheEnd RapidFisticuffs, but it was enough to weaken the latter for the others to be able to get some hits in.]]
* CaptainErsatz: Of ComicBook/TheFlash if he were Russian.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Getting his head crushed by Omni-Man is painful enough, but his SuperReflexes only makes it more agonizing as he perceives time much slower than everyone else. His eye is squeezed out of it's socket and his jaw is dislocated with a sickening pop as Omni-Man applies pressure to his skull.]]
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:Even with his hands broken, he keeps punching Omni-Man's chest as the latter crushes his head, managing to at the very least damage Omni-Man's costume, and possibly cause internal bleeding, in his death throes.]]
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:His left eye slowly pops out as Omni-Man crushes his head]].
* LightningBruiser: Horrifically averted. The Flash he is only but a lesser expy, best shown in the fight against [[spoiler:Omni-Man]] — he rushes to get teammates out of the way of attacks, which would've continued to be useful had he not decided to attack the aggressor himself. Although he does hurt [[spoiler:Omni-Man]] somewhat so that it's partly why he doesn't walk away from the battle unscathed, [[spoiler:it still comes at the cost of his and the team's lives]].

!!!New Team

[[folder:In General]]

* FailureHero:
** Compared to the original Guardians, Robot's version of the team is a bit of a disaster from the get-go, with them barely tolerating each other to be a proper team. So far their track record hasn't been kind to them even when they "win." Episode 5 goes into this when Black Samson and Robot chew the team out for celebrating defeating the Lizard League, but ignoring the fact there were SIGNIFICANT civilian casualties in this fight, the two going into detail (with holographic reference) on the numerous ways they could have minimized civilian casualties. It's telling that neither Cecil nor Omni-Man have much faith in the team.
** [[spoiler:The team sort of gets their act together when coming to Invincible and Titan's rescue, eventually defeating Machine Head's hired supervillains. However, they do end up being severally brutalized in the fight, with Monster Girl and Black Samson being maimed and in critical condition. However, despite this being a victory, in the grand scheme of things this makes the team appear even more incompetent, as they almost died to what was (in essence) a "street-level" threat, and only survived because the most dangerous member of Machine Head's thugs simply got bored and left, and the Guardians are *literally* supposed to be the first and last defense against world ending threats.]]
* GenderEqualEnsemble: When it started out it had three men (Robot, Rex Splode, Black Samson) and three women (Monster Girl, Dupli-kate, and Shrinking Rae).
* InadequateInheritor: Compared to the first Guardians of the Globe, Robot's version of the team is considerably underwhelming in comparison, both in overall power level and ability to work as a team.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Robot's team is is prone to infighting and compared to [[spoiler:The late previous Guardians of the Globe]] they are woefully underequipped to deal with the foes and emergencies the Guardians are expected to handle, but when they come together, they are a more than capable superhero team.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_robot.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/ZacharyQuinto and [[spoiler:Creator/RossMarquand]]

A self-aware machine and the new leader of the Guardians; formerly the leader of the Teen Team before their membership merged into the new Guardians.
----
* TheAce: He's TheLeader, TheSmartGuy, and also strong, durable, and has powerful weapons.
* AdaptationDistillation: [[spoiler:In the comics Robot shows the reader his plans to give himself a new healthy body and find a way to cure Monster Girl’s aging condition roughly at the same time; the show has Robot solely focused on his new body on Season 1, he only vaguely hints about his plan to help Amanda when he tries to explain himself to the team]].
* AmbiguouslyEvil: He's a hero who leads the Teen Team and later the new Guardians yet [[spoiler: arranges for The Mauler Twins to escape custody though with no casualties aside from a security guard and one of the twins themselves. He also steals a sample of Rex’s blood for phase one of a plan of his.]] [[spoiler: ''We Need To Talk'' finally establishes that while his actions are potentially unethical and sometimes illegal, his goals are not sinister though slightly disturbing. His end goal was to simply put an end to the suffering he has endured all his life and have a normal body. He still resolves to put the Twins in jail once their business is over.]]
* BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler:His secretive operations are framed in an ominous way, like someone who presents himself as a hero but is doing potentially evil behind everyone’s back, with that image doubled in effect since the show has it happen concurrently with whatever Omni-man is doing at first; however, all of that as questionable and unethical as it was, truly had no evil intents, Robot just wanted a new healthy body to live the life he never could before, Rudy remains a hero more or less]].
* BodyHorror:[[spoiler:Episode 4 ends with the reveal of his true body and it definitely doesn't look pretty, being nothing more than a fetus made out of a blob of flesh and wires. Which is why he seeks out the Mauler twins to help him gain a new body which is successfully achieved in ''We Need To Talk''.]]
* CommonalityConnection: Attempts this with [[OlderThanTheyLook Monster Girl]] about how people have difficulty looking past one's appearance. [[SubvertedTrope It falls flat]] as [[InnocentlyInsensitive she doesn't get his meaning, asking how a robot could understand]]. That said, she grows to appreciate it after Robot goes through several lengths to help her when she's severely wounded by Battle Beast.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: He didn't think that secretly taking Rex's DNA, conspiring with the Mauler Twins to create a child clone of him, then showing up to his team as said clone would raise too many questions.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:The cloning process duplicates his consciousness rather than transfers it. This means his original body still exists in the painful state. He asks for the Rex clone to let him die to end his suffering.]]
* JustAMachine: His biggest obstacle to leading the new Guardians is the fact that many view him as being less than a person due to his mechanical nature, undermining his authority. [[spoiler: Then its revealed in the fourth episode that the physical bot we've seen has been remote controlled by the ''real'' Robot, [[BodyHorror who is pretty much a blob of flesh more or less]].]]
* MachineMonotone: Speaks in a monotone voice with a robotic effect, befitting his mechanical nature.
** Subverted later on, where he sometimes speaks with more emotion.
* OlderThanTheyLook: The [[spoiler: original]] Robot [[spoiler: looks like a fetus. The clone that Robot copies his mind into looks a similar age to Monster Girl despite Robot's mind being 30 years old. Also overlaps with YoungerThanTheyLook since the clone was just created but looks like a pre-teen.]]
* RaceLift: [[spoiler:Automatically done by virtue of making himself a perfect copy of Rex, who is vaguely of greek descent in the show]].
* ReplacementGoldfish: Not wanting to [[spoiler: live in his mutated body anymore,]] he [[spoiler: creates a clone of Rex and copies his consciousness and memories into the new body. The new body then kills the old one at his request and lives the life Robot always wanted to.]]
* {{Technopath}}: [[spoiler:In his original body Robot controlled his droids remotely through his advanced machinery; in his new human body Rudy controls his creations with his mind, thanks to the implant in his brain]].

[[quoteright:345:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_rex_splode.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/JasonMantzoukas

A superhero who can charge potential energy to turn anything he touches into bombs; formerly of the Teen Team selected to join the new Guardians roster. He is naturally incorrigible and hostile with Invincible.
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: While he always was kind of a douche in the comics, the animation makes Rex way more abrasive and on the nose, paving way for any comeuppance for his bad behavior feel more justified.
* ButtMonkey: Episode 3 is just one long HumiliationConga for him [[HoistByHisOwnPetard all caused by his own choices]] [[SmugSuper and general personality]]:
** First, his girlfriend catches him in the shower with their teammate believing something was going on between Eve and Invincible. He realizes his mistake and tries to say it doesn't mean anything in ''front'' of said teammate. [[HopeSpot Then he gets into the new Guardians of the Globe...]]only to get his ass beaten to a pulp after [[BullyingADragon making fun of another of the new members]] [[{{Jerkass}} for no reason other]] [[BadassAdorable than she appeared to be a little girl]]. Invincible has to step in to stop the fight; [[AesopAmnesia Rex doesn't learn his lesson]] and ends up antagonizes the other members of the team, leaving disliked by everyone on the team. [[DownerEnding Then Eve finalizes their break-up and repeats she won't be joining the Guardians leaving him all alone.]]
** In the following episode, he buries the hatchet with Monster Girl only to be told to stay away from her thanks to his obvious bad choices last episode, blamed entirely for alienating Eve from the team. [[spoiler: Then Robot pinches his shoulder, taking a blood sample that is phase one of some larger plan.]]
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Of ComicBook/{{Gambit}}, with his charm and suave replaced with jerkassery and anger issues.
* CurbStompBattle: He received a severe beatdown from Monster Girl.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: During one of his snide (jealous) remarks at Invincible its mentioned he didn't ever got to go to school. His girlfriend snarks [[InsultBackfire that much]] [[DumbMuscle is obvious]]. He also remarks that his childhood sucked when [[spoiler:calling out Robot for creating a clone of his kid-self without his knowledge]].
--> '''Rex''': You're ruining my childhood, and that's hard, because it already SUCKED!
* DefeatMeansFriendship: When he first meets Monster Girl, he makes fun of her for being too young and she makes fun of his dick and then beats him up. Despite this they reconciled and are seen fist-bumping each other in episode 5.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: The entire reason he cheats of Eve is because he assumed that she was seeing Mark just because they come to the base together, despite her explaining that its because they go to the same school together. Not once does he actually try to talk to his girlfriend or follow them to see if it was true or not.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** Rex claims to be entitled to date any girl he wants thanks to his hero status, but draws the line on Monster Girl because her PowerAtAPrice makes her younger with each transformation, resembling a young teen.
** [[spoiler: Rex is also justifiably disturbed by how Robot make a young clone of himself to use as a body, even remarking how looking at reminds him of bad times.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: He's egotistical, condescending, and bad-tempered. Not to mention he cheats on his girlfriend.
* HavingABlast: Rex has the power charge potential energy to turn anything he touches into bombs.
* HiddenDepths:
** He ''really'' doesn't want to be such a {{Jerkass}} SmugSuper CowardlyLion and Eve says [[UsedToBeASweetKid that he wasn't always like this]]. Demonstrated in his powers as well when, after two episodes using them solely for combat, he uses them to create a brilliant fireworks display over the city.
** When Cecil tells the new team that [[spoiler:the latest Guardians of the Globe are the last hope against Omni-man, he quickly manages to deduce what happened to the previous team.]] Showing that he isn't completely as dumb as he acts.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Although he's rude to "Monster Girl", he has a point that she seems too young to join the team. He would soon learn the hard way that she's actually an adult who has a HulkingOut ability.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: After the two bury the hatchet and joke around a bit, Robot tells him that Rex better not make any moves on Monster Girl. Rex points out that she's "like 14" [[OlderThanTheyLook not knowing her real age]] and [[CasanovaWannabe claims that as a Guardian he has his pick of women now]].
* PersonalityPowers: It really can't be a coincidence that Rex Splode has [[HavingABlast the power to make charge objects with explosive energy]] and seems to [[HairTriggerTemper have some serious anger issues]].
* RaceLift: Most likely of Greek descent, as he's voiced by Jason Mantzoukas, and WordOfGod says they wanted all ethnicities of the characters to match the actor that was cast for them.
* TookALevelInKindness: He's noticeably friendlier (if still pretty obnoxious) in ''We Need To Talk''. [[spoiler:Seeing his entire team nearly get beaten to death by Battle Beast might've had something to do with it]].
* TheToothHurts: Monster girl knocks several of his teeth out when pummeling him, and he's seen still missing them later on. Funny enough in a mildly literal case of this trope, he actually tries to use the knocked out teeth against Monster Girl by using his powers on them.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: {{Downplayed}}. When Eve calls him an asshole for cheating on her with Dupli-Kate, she makes a comment he wasn't always like this, though when he asks how she doesn't say.

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/MaleseJow

A self-replicating superheroine; formerly of the Teen Team selected to join the new Guardians roster. She was Eve's friend before ruining that friendship by cheating with Rex.
----
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Apparently it didn't occur to Kate to even talk to Eve before hooking up with Rex, if not out of common courtesy then to double-check his story.
* ExpendableClone: Her primary defensive move is to quickly spawn a clone to tank a deadly hit on her behalf, and Dupli-Kate clones [[GoodThingYouCanHeal are frequently butchered just to show how serious the fights are]]. That said, it is implied that she can ''feel'' what her clones feel, or at least affected by their death. When one of Machine Head's cohorts kills one of Kate's clones, she almost passes out.
* {{Expy}}: She's a gender-flipped ComicBook/MultipleMan. Her preference of making three of herself also brings to mind Triplicate Girl of the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperheroes.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Due to her ability to spawn an endless number of clones, every major fight sees Dupli-Kate taking many more outright-lethal attacks than anyone else. She even complains that the Flaxans are killing her almost as fast as she can clone herself.
* KarmaHoudini: When Robot chastises Rex for cheating on Eve last episode which led to Eve not joining the Guardians, no mention is made how Kate played a part as well. Eve also forgives Kate much more easily for the whole affair than Rex. Downplayed in that Rex had apparently told Kate beforehand that Eve was dating Invincible, so the whole thing could be attributed to a misunderstanding, and Kate's just as angry with Rex as Eve is once she learns the truth.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Has a foursome with Rex before Eve catches them.
* SelfDuplication: Her superpower which is to make duplicates of herself. According to her, the clones ''are'' her while still an apparent difference between the original "Kate" and the copies.
* SympatheticAdulterer: She only has sex with Rex because she believed Eve (his then-current girlfriend) had broken up with him for Invincible, and she's clearly remorseful once Eve confronts her about it.
* YouAreNumberSix: Somehow, the number on her suit changes to represent which number clone is which with "1" being the original.

A de-powered superhero who now uses a special combat suit of armor. Once he was a member of the original Guardians of the Globe before losing his powers, he has since been selected by Robot to join the new incarnation he formed.
----
* BrutalHonesty: He doesn't even attempt to hide that he is disappointed in The New Guardians poor team ability not even attempting to do damage control.
* CameBackStrong: After his near-death experience thanks to Battle Beast. [[spoiler:He manages to regain his powers after the doctors defibelirate him several times to bring him back to life.]]
* DePower: Rex Splode mentions a NoodleIncident that stripped Black Samson of his superpower.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Black Samson (the person who's basically a regular human without his power armor)thought charging Battle Beast [[spoiler:(the thing that just beat Invincible to the brink of death)]] with his bare hands was a good idea. [[spoiler: Battle Beast proceeded to show him [[UsefulNotes/LiteralDisarming why this was a ''bad'' idea.]] ]]
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/IronMan. Visually his suit also bears a resemblance to the one used by ComicBook/LexLuthor.
* FantasticRacism: He claims that Robot is not fit to be a leader because he's just "ones and zeroes".
* JerkassHasAPoint: When the other Guardians all want to celebrate their most recent victory, he instead has Robot bring up footage of the battle and points out the mistakes they all made, saying they acted as cocky individuals instead of a team, and civilians got hurt because of it. When he and Rex Splode get into an argument over it, Dupli-Kate steps in and tells Rex that Black Samson is not wrong.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a bit of an old hardass but he's serious about being a hero. [[spoiler:While ultimately futile, after seeing Battle Beast nearly kill Invincible and Monster Girl, makes him lose it and try to fend off Battle Beast to try and save them.]]
* PowerArmor: Uses a suit of this to compensate for his lack of powers. During the fight against Machine Head and his hired supervillains. It gets badly damaged to the point that he has to discard it.
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:He is the only member of the Guardians to not be lured in and killed by Omni-Man]].
* TranquilFury: When Rex Splode mocks his lack of powers and how he would’ve been useful in saving the Guardians [[spoiler: from their deaths]] if he still had them, Samson calmly tells him that if he makes a joke like that again he’s going to kick his ass until Rex goes back to calling him “Dad” as an insult.

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/GreyGriffin (Amanda), Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson (Monster)

A cursed 24-year old who de-ages with each use of her powers to become a Troll man. She begins the series as an apparently 12-year-old.
----
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: The show has Amanda a little more composed compared to her character in the comic, there she was desperate to maintain more adult behavior and vices even in her child's body, such as being a serial flirt and smoking; here this is all reduced to Amanda wanting to drink beer still. [[spoiler:This results in Robot's body choice coming off as less on point in the show, in the comics it was clear why he choose Rex, Amanda was dangerously flirty with the guy, quite literally gazing at his butt]].
* AdaptationalWimp: Slightly, in the comics her healing factor was a lot stronger and any damage done while in monster form was undone just by changing back. Case in a point in a scene that appears in both the comic and the show, Invincible hitting her at the tryouts, in the comic she was fine after changing back but in the show she was still hurt, though not badly, after changing back.
* AgeLift: In the comics Amanda says she is a 29 years old woman trapped in a child's body, the animation has her be 24 years old; a rather inconsequential change, since her predicament remains the same.
* BerserkButton: By her admission to Invincible, being called a kid is this. She apologizes for lashing out at him for trying to stop her beatdown on Rex.
* BlessedWithSuck: Can transform into a hulking green monster, but it makes her younger each time. This makes her potential love life next to impossible, and is unable to train often.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: While the show has Amanda comment on how terrible it feels to have the desires of a grown woman while stuck in a child’s body, feeling she will never be answered by a man without it being from either a pedophile or an actual prepubescent boy, the show heavily tones down how flirty Amanda could be with her team mates in the comics, being very upfront about how much she longed for intimacy before Robot called her out on it. It doesn't stop her from drinking beer as long as she reminders them that she's an adult.
* DeadpanSnarker: Her first lines start with her roasting Rex.
* DontYouDarePityMe: When Robot tries to empathize with Amanda’s issue of others judging them for their appearance, thinking less of them for it, by pointing out they are the same in this regard she brushes Robot’s words off by saying he is just a Robot, he wouldn’t understand what it is like, thus doing the exact same thing others have done to her, judging by appearances alone. [[spoiler:That hurts Robot on the double, for Amanda couldn’t sympathize with him thinking he is just a robot, and she was unknowingly insensitive to his real human self as well]].
* FacialHorror: Battle Beast uses two stone blocks to crush her face, tearing half the skin off in episode 5.
* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: Her trash-talking of Rex, namely that his bad attitude is CompensatingForSomething, comes across as this. Subverted because she's actually an adult in a de-aged body.
* GenderBender: Female as a human, male as a monster.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's a smartass and a bit snappy about her condition, but she's quick to apologize to Invincible for lashing out at him for a moment. And even makes amends with Rex, despite being justified in kicking his ass.
* IShallTauntYou: In full force when Rex starts making fun of her.
* LighterAndSofter: Due Amanda being more composed in the show, her proximity with Rex after their initial squable is that of friends who engage in friendly banter, without Amanda casually flirting with him like it was in the comics; [[spoiler:however, this lighter proximity still inspires Robot to take Rex's body as the base for his new one, in order to impress Amanda]].
* NoSmoking: One way the comics used to visually convey Amanda was an older woman in a kid’s body was her smoking to relieve stress early in the series, in the show she shows no interest in cigs, focusing solely on beer instead.
* OlderThanSheLooks: In her first episode, she claims to be 24 despite having a prepubescent body.
* PaedoHunt: According to her, her curse makes having a relationship difficult. If it isn't with those just entering puberty, it's others "popping up on sex offender registries".
* SuperToughness: Rex's explosives don't even leave a scratch on her.
* TheWorfEffect: She is the strongest and toughest member of the Guardians, but Battle Beast easily thrashes her around and rips her face off. Ironically, Battle Beast is voiced by Michael Dorn who played Worf.

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/GreyGriffin

A size-manipulating superheroine, who worked solo before being asked to join the new Guardians roster.
----
* ActionGirl: Quite the badass compared to her more useless source material self.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comic, it's a bit of a running gag just how useless Ray is. In fact, he frequently misses the fight completely. Rae, on the other hand, is very efficient at using her powers in a fight, doing things like shrinking while she has her opponent in a headlock to tighten the constriction, or climbing into her opponent's inner ear to induce nausea.
* AdaptationalNameChange: Very {{Downplayed}}. Was "Shrinking Ra'''y'''" in the comics.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Her voice is fairly husky.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] superheroine Doll Girl. She also has a bit of the Atom to her.
* GenderFlip: She was a man in the comics.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: She knows how to use her shrinking powers well. Like getting inside someones inner ear to induce nausea and shrinking while having her arms wrapped around her opponent's neck really tight.
* IWorkAlone: Her comment about not working with a team before indicates she was working as a solo hero before joining the new Guardians.

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/GillianJacobs

A matter/energy manipulating superheroine; formerly of the Teen Team selected to join the new Guardians roster. She is Invincible's guide into the particulars of superheroes, and first-superhero friend.
----
* AdaptationalModesty: A very minor change but it’s still there, Eve in the animation has the lower part of her hero costume be like sport mini-shorts, unlike in the comics where she wears a LeotardOfPower; other than that her outfit is the same between the two mediums.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Slightly so. In the beginning of the comic storyline, Eve acted more like a stereotypical girl-next-door with frequent emotional outbursts and silent longing, whereas her animated counterpart is much more mature and composed from the get-go. Case in point; after Rex cheats on her in the comics, she's extremely upset and vents her feelings to Mark, even breaking down in hysterical tears. In the show, she's still justifiably furious when she discovers the affair, but she gets over it much more quickly (though she still doesn't forgive Rex).
* ClarkKenting: Takes advantage and acknowledges this trope, saying it's simply a case of psychology.
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson but with ComicBook/GreenLantern Doctor Manhattan-esque powers.
* FieryRedHead: Has a bit of a temper, but she controls it very well and doesn't let it get the better of her most of the time.
* GoodFeelsGood: After striking out on her own, Eve is shown doing a bunch of humanitarian efforts, such as stopping natural disasters and helping crops grow. She returns home thoroughly exhausted but more happy then she has ever been just punching villains of the week.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Mark initially had an interest in her only to learn about her and Rex, making him quickly back off. This didn't stop Rex [[NotWhatItLooksLike from thinking something was going on]] and to cheat on Eve with Dupli-Kate.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She's clearly upset to see Mark kissing Amber in "Who You Calling Ugly?", but she smiles as she flies away and says "Good for you, Mark" in a sincere tone. "That Actually Hurt" shows her being friendly towards Amber, harboring no jealousy and encouraging her to stay with Mark.
* LoveTriangle: She develops an interest in Mark after Rex cheated on her, but unfortunately he's already in a relationship with Amber.
* NiceGirl: While a bit high-strung, she's a good friend to Mark, Amber and a few others. Greatly appreciating them and trying her best to help them out.
* PinkIsFeminine: Her costume which, as she explains to Dr. Seismic when he critiques it as being forced on her by TheMan, was designed by Eve herself.
* ProneToVomiting: She admits that back in her rookie days, she would StressVomit "Like a fire-hydrant" before every mission.
* RoseHairedSweetie: Minor example. She's a NiceGirl who patiently talks Invincible through his first steps as a superhero and has red hair with a pink super suit.
* SmallStepsHero: She decides to start using her powers to stop environmental crises like drought, wildfires, rockslides, etc., rather than fighting villains.
* StayInTheKitchen: On the receiving end of this from her own parents. "That Actually Hurt" reveals her parents were only okay with her being a hero as long as she was on a team with her boyfriend. Finding out she is now independent freaks them out because as they say, Rex isn't around to protect her, which is pretty laughable given Eve is ''a lot'' more powerful then him. Her father outright says she shouldn't be a hero at all, and a couple times has to stop himself from saying misogynistic stuff including almost telling his daughter "to stop acting like a bitch."
* {{Transmutation}}: The true scope of her abilities, in a tense argument with her parents over her break-up with Rex, Eve lashes out when her father says she can’t do anything alone, including this hero business, she rebukes by saying she can, in fact, do ''everything'', and that is shaping matter to her will like ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} as she manipulated the room they are in by warping its size, then leaving the house through a door she created.

[[folder:Damien Darkblood]]
!!Damien Darkblood
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_damien_darkblood.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ClancyBrown

A demon detective who escaped Hell and works to bring justice for others to prolong his stay on Earth by whatever margin. A sudden cold in the ambient temperature precedes his presence.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler:The comic version was more of a joke as it took him forever to realize Omni-Man killed The Guardians of the Globe LONG after the truth about Omni-Man was revealed. Here he's suspicious of Omni-Man from the get-go and by episode 4, he has figured out that Omni-Man is the culprit.]]
* TheAtoner: Damien earns a longer reprieve from Hell by solving cases and achieving justice for the dead, with the hopes of eventually saving his own soul. Though it remains ambiguous if he's merely doing this out of self-interest or if he has a genuine desire for penance and regrets whatever deeds damned him.
* BloodMagic: Cecil calls it "demon magic" but admits he doesn't know a lot. One of his powers is to see the aftermath of the [[spoiler: Guardians' death. Its also what helps him determine only them and Omni-Man were present at the scene, meaning one of them had to be the killer.]]
* BoxedCrook: PlayedWith. Damien Darkblood apparently escaped hell somehow and according to Omni-Man, Damien gets a few years reprieve for every case he solves and sees justice done.
* CassandraTruth: He outright tells Cecil that the only people at the scene of the Guardian's murder was the team and Omni-Man, heavily implying he had something to do with it. The GDA Director outright tells the demon, if he tells his "idiotic thoughts" to anyone, Cecil will send the demon to hell himself [[spoiler:which he does the next episode]].
** Somewhat {{Justified}} as Cecil points out that there are literally ''hundreds'' of supervillains that wanted the Guardians dead and don't leave a trace. [[spoiler: Furthermore, it's revealed he actually does believe Darkblood, he just wants to learn more about the case rather than tipping off Nolan.]]
* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: Wears a [[BadassLongcoat trench coat]] and [[NiceHat fedora]] making him out to be a demonic detective straight out a {{Noir}} Detective story.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's a demon who works a detective. Admittedly, it is suggested his reasons for doing heroic deeds aren't completely altruistic.
* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler: Gets exorcised back to Hell in episode 4]].
* {{Expy}}: He is modeled after ComicBook/TheQuestion and [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Rorschach]] with a ComicBook/{{Hellboy}} aesthetic. He also shares ComicBook/JohnConstantine's status as TheFriendNobodyLikes, and having vaguely selfish reasons for getting justice for others. [[spoiler: And like Rorschach he's removed from the board to prevent him from exposing a conspiracy but leaves behind his notes for someone to find.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Gets sent back to Hell in episode 4, which Donald thinks is worse than death.]]
* GhostlyChill: The temperature drops whenever he appears with people suddenly being able to see their breath. It's how Cecil knows he's there and how [[spoiler: Omni-Man comes to suspect the demon was in the hero's house.]]
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He figures out that Omni-Man murdered the Guardians as part of the role of the "Demon Detective"...[[spoiler: only for Cecil to use a reconstructed spell to send him back to hell where he can't do anything about it.]]
* NoOntologicalInertia: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. His GhostlyChill lingers a while after he leaves an area.
* NoSocialSkills:
** He admits that human nuances are lost on him, appearing in the Grayson's home uninvited and frightening Debbie, before more or less telling her Omni-Man's story doesn't make sense.
** His speech pattern is also often direct and blunt, speaking with a sort of pidgin reminiscent of Rorschach.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: It's mentioned that he has a soul and can save it by seeking justice for others after escaping hell.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: [[spoiler: Damien is exorcised back to Hell by Donald and Cecil in Episode 4, in order to not interfere with the latter's plans]].

----
* BigBrotherIsWatching: According to Cecil, this is the price of being a superhero as at anytime the [=GDA=] may need to contact them for a crisis and as well as protect their love ones. They're shown to have set up in a house across the street from the Graysons following the [[spoiler: Guardians' murders.]]
* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: And if necessary, the Director himself will appear in your bedroom while your dates in the next room to give a lecture on why you answer your god-damn phone if you want to be a superhero.
* {{Expy}}: Regarded as a knock-off of ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} with Cecil Steadman and Donald Ferguson filling the roles of ComicBook/NickFury and ComicBook/MariaHill respectfully.
* InvisibilityCloak: [=GDA=] infantry have protective armor that turns them invisible; the only time they appear is when they ''already'' have you surrounded.
* UsefulNotes/ThePentagon: Where the organization is based out of in the U.S. or possibly just the D.C area with others across the country. [[spoiler: It also acts as the temporary headquarters for the new Guardians of the Globe while the murders of the original team are investigated.]]

[[folder:Cecil Stedman]]
!!Cecil Stedman
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_cecil.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/WaltonGoggins

The director of the GDA, he oversees all operations relating to the world of superheroes helped by his ability to teleport, and ropes in Invincible once he starts as a hero. After the death of the Guardians of the Globe, he begrudgingly lets Damien Darkblood investigate for him.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Relatively speaking. Compared to his comic iteration, Cecil is much more conflicted and regretful about some of the things he has to do. But he still does them. [[spoiler: Mixed with AdaptionalJerkass when it comes to his recruiting DA Sinclair, as he treats the MadScientist with the contempt he deserves and it ''seems'' that the situation is closer to a prison job with a side of TeethClenchTeamwork than what its comic equivalent was.]]
* BadassNormal: Doesn't have any powers to speak off, but he's more than willing to put himself in danger [[spoiler:to stall Omni-man in the field. Such as using some kind of energy rifle to get Omni-man's attention (even knowing it won't hurt him) and wasting his time by using a teleportation device to dodge his attacks.]]
* BaldOfAwesome: Or Balding of Awesome anyway.
* BigBrotherIsWatching: [[CassandraTruth He dismisses Damian Darkblood's claim]] that the [[spoiler: killer of the Guardians of the Globe (who is Omni-Man) had to be one of them]]. He places the Graysons under surveillance regardless, [[MetaphoricallyTrue the justification being that the killer was still out there]].
** In the following episode though, he tells Mark that this trope is standard practice and is the price of being a superhero.
** [[spoiler: In episode 4, it's revealed that he does know Omni-Man killed the Guardians but wants to know why and how to stop him.]]
* CoolOldGuy: The director of the local ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} {{Expy}} and everything that entails. He's calm, collected and quite mysterious. [[spoiler:He shows off this coolness even further by straight up going in the field and stalling Omni-man himself. He fully knows he can't win especially after seeing a good amount of his men killed but he still does it.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: He's ruthless in his dedication to protecting humanity from any and all threats, and will not hesitate to cross any line he deems necessary to do so. But he makes it known under no uncertain terms that he's incredibly disgusted by D.A. Sinclair and his creations. [[spoiler: Which only goes to show how desperate he is when he decides to call on Sinclair to try and stop Nolan when the latter goes looking for Mark. Understandably it's clear that he is not enjoying it every one bit.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of the classic ComicBook/NickFury minus the eyepatch and a whole lot more older looking.
* GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler: Crossed at least twice, in an attempt to stop Nolan, and potentially kill him, before he could get to Mark. The first time, he sent some of Sinclair's undead Reanimen after Nolan, later remarking just even talking to Sinclair made him feel dirty. The second, he sent the Kaiju, Nolan fought in a previous battle, only with every enhancement injected into the creature he could think of to bolster it's strength.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: He is far from the nicest individual and does a lot of shady stuff to protect the planet.
* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler: He sent Damien Darkblood back to Hell because he didn't want him to interfere with the investigation, saying that he needs to keep things calm until he finds out why Nolan killed the Guardians and how to stop him.]]
## [[spoiler: Considering how Nolan killed the Guardians (6 of them having superpowers/inhuman abilities and Darkwing being a regular human who reached his peak physical condition), Cecil needs to be smart about handling Nolan.]]
## [[spoiler: The audience also knows that Nolan has either committed genocide or near-genocide on the Flaxan homeworld, so keeping Nolan placid should be Cecil's top priority until he knows how to bring him to justice.]]
## [[spoiler: Nolan has made it clear to Darkblood that he knows about the investigation and he will kill him if he goes anywhere near his family again. Since Nolan also warned Cecil about Darkblood, then more problems will be on the way if Darkblood sticks around.]]
* LeanAndMean: Heroic shade of this trope.
* MenInBlack: Mark, the son of a superhero, had never heard of them until they brought him and his mother to their base. Donald Ferguson tells him that's the point and it's implied that they deal with a number of threats daily that the public has no clue about.
* PetTheDog: In episode 6, after Invincible apologizes for mangling Sinclair's jaw in a rage, Cecil gently tells him that he doesn't have to and that he probably would've done the same thing in his position.
* TeleportSpam: His personal teleporter device can be used in this manner. He also showcases impressive reflexes when using it since without them [[spoiler: Omni-Man would've reduced him to a fine paste immediately and even then he only barely missed.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: In Episode 7, Cecil makes it clear that [[spoiler:Omni-man's murder of the Guardians]] isn't just a slight against him on a professional level, but a ''personal'' one. He shows a rare righteous anger toward [[spoiler:Nolan]] and even says that [[spoiler:Debbie and him both have being hurt by Nolan's betrayal in common]].

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/ChrisDiamantopoulos

A GDA high ranking agent who serves directly under Cecil Stedman.
----
* ApologeticAttacker: Rather, apologetic and secret protector. [[spoiler:He reveals that he sent armed soldiers to the house, ready to fire on Nolan if he tried to attack Debbie, and evacuates her, along with the rest of the neighborhood, to a secure location. Donald apologizes for the intrusion, orders his people to stand down once Nolan is gone, and stays to monitor Nolan's response if and when he returns]].
* CowardlyLion: Omni-Man calls him a coward yet [[spoiler:his final moments are spent distracting him long enough to let his fellow agents escape by shooting him on the face, dodging some of his attacks and finally, blowing himself up.]]
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: When [[spoiler:Nolan busts them for spying on him, Donald grabs a BFG and shouts at his subordinates to ''run'', and that's an order! He then manages to hold off Nolan briefly to buy them time, and hits the self-destruct button despite Omni-Man breaking his spine. Not only did he go out on his terms, but also ensured that Omni-Man wouldn't go after his crew]].
* {{Expy}}: He's the ComicBook/MariaHill and Phil Coulson to Stedman's Nick Fury.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: After being [[spoiler:mortally wounded by Omni-man (via said Viltrumite digging his fingers into his back and grabbing his spinal cord), he says these as his last words before initiating an instant self-destruct inside of the house to stall Omni-man. Cecil shares these sentiments and clearly grieves for him.]]
* NumberTwo: He acts as Cecil's right-hand man overseeing various operations such as the [[spoiler: forensic investigation for the Guardians' murder, surveillance of the Graysons, and the status of a {{Kaiju}} that Omni-Man defeated.]]
* OpaqueLenses: His glasses have these.
* SenselessSacrifice: Zigzagged. [[spoiler:While blowing the house he was in up, doesn't really do anything to faze Nolan. The fact the Omni-man in the first place was already out for blood and willing to murder him, doesn't really mean he'll come out of the fight alive anyhow. At least he went out in his terms.]]

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/SethRogen

Initially believed by Mark to be some recurring threat he is sent to fight, Allen is an evaluation officer for the [[TheFederation Coalition of Planets]] whose job is to assess the security of member worlds.
----
* AllPlanetsAreEarthLike: And have similar-sounding names apparently. [[AliensSpeakingEnglish With the English alphabet.]] Allen came to Earth because "Urath" asked for an evaluation of their defenses, confusing the two planets. Not helped by the fact that Urath has very similarly shaped continents to Earth, if the tablet was anything to go by.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: After getting into a brief fight with Mark, he eventually learns that he's gone to the wrong planet. He was supposed to be inspecting Urath and leaves since he might be fired over this blunder.
* PoorCommunicationKills: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]], as Mark is given no explanation of who Allen is or why he's coming to Earth. Doing so actually allows him to honestly tell the alien he [Mark] doesn't know what's going on, using his "time out" to get an explanation and clear up the confusion.
* {{Telepathy}}: One of his powers as part of his ComboPlatterPowers, he uses it to "speak" to Mark while they're fighting in space.

!!Mauler Twins
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_mauler_twins.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson

Blue-skinned hyper-powerful superhumans, and long-time adversaries to the Guardians. Both proclaim to be the original while stating the other is a clone.
----
* AffablyEvil: They're not outright malicious for the most part, with one of the Twins apologizing to the guard giving them their food before knocking him out and using his hand to escape. [[spoiler:Even willing to work with and doing their best when they are hired by Robot to make him a new body. Outright adjusting their BrainUploading machine when it's clear that it has the possibility of killing his original body before the procedure could succeed.]]
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Both have blue skin for unknown reasons, it's unknown if it's because of the fact that they're clones or it came alongside their powers.
* AmbiguousCloneEnding: It was never made clear if the original died by the time of the escape or even '''way''' before that. In fact it's hard to tell if both of the current and past Mauler's are clones.
* BrainUploading: The cloning process creates a new body with no mind. The surviving twin copies his mind into the body, with another device. They have to completely copy the mind in order to not let the recent clone know that ''they'' are said clone.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: The white portions of their costumes form a subtle "M" shape on the front of their bodies, and the black portions of their costumes form a subtle "T" shape on the back of their bodies.
* ChainsawGripBFG: They both carry around what appears to be miniguns when assaulting the White House.
* CloningBlues: Pun aside, they both argue over who is the clone and who is the original. Neither one knows for certain. When explaining this to [[spoiler:to the Robot's new clone body]], one of the twins states that they actually purposefully rig their brain uploading tech so that neither one remembers who started the cloning process, otherwise things would get ugly.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: They lack any form of footwear, but considering the size of their feet and strong build, they don't have much of a need for shoes.
* ExpendableClone: One of them treats the other this way, using his body as a shield, and claiming he can just make another one. Then again it's ambiguous whether he's the original or the clone or even how many times this has happened.
* EyeScream: One of the Mauler's get a bullet in his eye thanks to taunting Steve at point blank range. He spends the rest of the fight with the Guardians having that eye closed and bleeding.
* GeniusBruiser: They both have super strength and toughness but are also skilled biologists and engineers, being able to create not only a cloning device but also a BrainUploading device. Which is why [[spoiler:Robot breaks them out and collaborates with them to give himself a new clone body.]]
* HiddenDepths: They are shown to have some knowledge of ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'', even citing differences between the novel and the movie adaptations.
* IgnoranceIsBliss: They purposefully live like this regarding their clone status, the Maulers rig the cloning process in order for them to never know who in fact is the clone, with both of them playfully playing up this ongoing rivalry of accusing the other of being a copy; all of this to protect their sanity and to generate a feeling of simultaneous validation, they are both equally replaceable and irreplaceable, as long as one of them live there's always a possibility of the twins being perpetual.
* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: One of the Maulers runs around wearing a labcoat in later episodes, most likely to differentiate himself from the other.
* LaughablyEvil: Their overall banter of which one is the real clone is this, and in general are quite casual and snarky.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Most of the time they are accompanied with songs by ''Music/RunTheJewels''.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Or the cloning equivalent of it. According to them, the constant bickering that comes from their cloning process is preferable to having them be aware of who is or isn't the original.
* OhCrap: The two are understandably very scared when [[spoiler:the newly ressurected The Immortal is not only insanely pissed off, but straight up destroyed the mind-control collar in a fit of rage, while screaming at them where's Omni-man. Only has them backing away with their hands up.]]
* PetTheDog: When they [[spoiler: clone Robot a new body, they warn him that the process would both be painful and only copy his consciousness, not transfer it. They also do their best to save him when a complication arises from his abnormal brain structure. They also show understanding when the clone of Robot realizes the full ramifications of their mind-transferal technology, with one of them even tearing up when the two Rudolph's say goodbye to one another]].
* RunningGag: The twins have constant banter over whom is the original. But due to both of them being completely identical clones, that usually leaves them confused over who was cloned from whom. In fact, it's the only thing that keeps them working harmoniously together.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: They dig up the Immortal's body, reattach his head, put a mind control collar on him and revive the hero with the intent of siccing him on the new Guardians of the Globe. Not only does the Immortal smash their device, he flies off in a rage to get revenge on Omni-Man. This results in a fight where Omni-Man bisects him on live TV and in front of his son, showing Omni-Man's true nature to the world.]]
* SuperStrength: They're at least strong enough to be able to chuck tanks.
* SuperToughness: They are also both extremely durable. They can survive being shot in the face and have to use a drill to get past their tough skin to draw blood.
* ThoseTwoGuys: They're technically the same person, but no matter how hard they banter. The two are usually inseparable, [[spoiler:although it doesn't mean they don't consider each other [[ExpendableClone expendable]]]].

----
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:He happily stops Invincible from saving him from falling in lava and [[TakingYouWithMe even tries to kill him as well]], only failing due to Atom Eve.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a little loopy thanks to the constant concussions his gloves give him. Doesn't mean he's a pushover as his fight with Atom and Invincible shows that he can handle his own very well.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: The show adds the detail that he's a feminist who took courses in women's studies when getting his undergraduate degree.
* FamousLastWords:
--> '''Doc Seismic''': Ah god damn it, I should've spent more time on the jetpack-!!! ''[Falls to his death]''
* HiddenDepths: This version shows that he's a bit of a feminist. He also minored in African dance.
* LaughablyEvil: He's a little bit on the silly side,.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Has a Ph. D in seismology, which he used to create gauntlets that can make earthquakes which he uses for eeeeeeevil.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Used as a joke in his first episode that he specialized in many fields, although in humanities rather than hard sciences.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: Rails against the founding fathers for being oppressors and studied feminist theory. Still a bad guy.

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/MahershalaAli

A criminal enforcer who generates a stone skin armor at will. A masked Mark first meets him before attaining his name Invincible.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: The show adds more layers to his moral compass and gives him a family to make his actions more understandable, while in the comics [[spoiler:his plan to take over Machine Head’s place was more of a lone belief to make things better]].
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While most of his initial arc remains the same [[spoiler:with him tricking Invincible into helping him take down his boss Machine Head just to take his place, they add more nuance to his character, showing that he was truly stuck as Machine Head's henchmen first due to repaying a debt and then under threat against his family, with him taking over simply to look out for "his own," and implying he intends to be a less ruthless crime lord than Machine Head. His entire opening scenes of the episode show that, while he's still capable of brutal murder, he's not without mercy and does feel somewhat bad about the things he was forced to do as Machine Head's enforcer.]]
* AffablyEvil: His next appearance shows him actively sparing people's lives while pulling out jobs.
* AntiVillain: He does bad things for his family, and avoids killing people when he doesn't have to.
* BadassBaritone: Creator/MahershalaAli, baby.
* BadassInANiceSuit: [[spoiler: Wears a black suit after taking over Machine Heads' empire.]]
* ClothingDamage: While his armor is very tough and it can take quite the beating [[RealityEnsues his clothes don't]]. Whenver he goes to work he usually makes sure to take off his grey hoodie, although due to still needing pants he keeps those on himself. By the time his job is done it's usually peppered by bullet holes.
* DoWellButNotPerfect: He worked his ass off to pay off his debt to Machine Head as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, that made him Machine Head's top earner and far too valuable to let go. Machine Head threatens Titan's family to keep him working.
* ElementalArmor: His main superpower is to cover himself in a protective layer of stone.
* EnemyMine: He asks for Invincible's help to take down Machine Head.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He has a wife and daughter that he cares for very much and seeks to make their lives better.
* {{Expy}}: While in the comic he was mostly a version of Spider-Man foe Tombstone, in the show he comes across as a more morally gray Luke Cage.
* InTheHood: Dons a grey zip-up hoodie to help keep himself incognito.
* KlingonPromotion: Zig-Zagged. [[spoiler: He manipulated Mark to attempt to kill Machine Head in order to take his place and, while Machine Head was just captured in the end, Titan assumed the position as the new crime lord around as soon as Machine Head was out of the picture either way.]]
* PetTheDog: He is shown to be merciful to a few innocent civilians while carrying out Machine Head's orders. When he burns down an apartment people stayed in, he gives them enough cash to find somewhere else to live, and he allows one guy another 48 hours to repay what he owes instead of killing him like he was ordered after seeing a photo of his daughter. He also seemed genuinely apologetic when Mark was greatly injured while helping him, saying he wished it didn't turn out like that.
* PunchClockVillain: He's only doing criminal activity to support his family financially, and is shown to frequently spare people caught in the crossfire of his work. Or even targets and security guards.
* StarterVillain: The first villain Mark faces.
* TheStoic: He only ''slightly'' loses his cool after a kid he spares shoots him in the face, but still commits to mercy with a stern "Go!".
* SuperStrength: Not on Invincible's level, but still enough to toss a fork lifter and cave in people's skulls with thrown objects.
* SuperToughness: His stone skin is thick enough to protect him from gun fire, but concentrated shots or higher caliber bullets will destroy some parts of it and make him take cover.
* TrappedInVillainy: Machine Head considers him to be too good of an asset to be allowed to quit, and threatens his family to keep him working under him. As a result, Titan starts an alliance with Invincible to take him down.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Whenever he armors up, though mostly to prevent his hoodie from getting messed up.
* TheWorfEffect: Episode 5 spent most of it's opening showcasing how dangerous and powerful Titan is around regular humans and run of the mill gangsters. However, when Machine Head sics his hired supervillains on him and Mark he is very quickly taken out without providing much to the fight.

A crime lord that has a machine for a head.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In paper only, the show has Machine Head state his new implant gives him quantum seer powers, [[PrescienceByAnalysis which through complex probability calculations he can predict a certain future]], which was Titan and Invincible going after his neck, in the comics he was just coasting on being prepared for any attack in his office after Titan was giving off signs of betrayal.

* IHaveYourWife: Claims to know where Titan's family lives, which is why Titan can't leave him.
* PragmaticVillainy: One of the reasons he doesn't let Titan off the hook after he pays off his debt. Good help is hard to come by and Titan is too useful to simply let go, where a potential competitor could recruit him or worse, he becomes a hero and thus, a thorn in Machine Head's side.
* PrescienceByAnalysis: The chip Titan steals for him grants Machine Head the ability to predict the future through sheer quantum computing power, enabling him to anticipate Titan's betrayal and prepare accordingly.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: He sports this mentality against superheroes.

* VillainHasAPoint: Though he delivers it in a condescending manner, Machine Head isn't entirely wrong when he points out that Titan's powers are ill-suited for normal life and that he puts them to better use as his enforcer. He's also right that Titan's status as his enfourcer will make getting a normal job almost impossible.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: Unlike some of the cast who look different than their comics version due to ethnicity changes, Isotope looks completely different while still being a white dude. His comics self was based after one of Kirkman’s friends who happened to be a comic shop owner, the show likely didn’t want to be bind under that reference.

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/EzraMiller

A mad scientist in college, abducting people to turn into cyborgs called "Reanimen" due to an obsession with "improving" humanity.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: The two-piece suit he wears in the comics is black, where in the show, it's colored mauve.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Cecil notes that the cyborgs he made were impressive enough on their own, even though they were created in a sewer, implying that he could be more useful in an actual lab.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Has pale skin and jet black hair, and is also a deranged mad scientist.
* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: He lobotomizes and put chips in the brains of the Reanimen to take away their free will.
* ForScience: He is completely self-absorbed in his Reanimen project, seeing it as an actual benefit to humanity as a whole, incapable of perceiving any wrong with abducting people, mutilating and brainwashing them as horrific cyborgs.
* InsufferableGenius: He is known for thinking he's smarter than everyone else and calls everyone in the college idiots.
* {{Jerkass}}: Is straight up called a jerk by Amber and to say nothing of how he makes his Reanimen
* LaserGuidedKarma: While he doesn't suffer the same fate he puts through his Reanimen, Mark and William do give him a good idea of how his test subjects feel when they get mangled by him. Via a beat down and a very broken jaw courtesy of a very pissed off human and half-Viltrumite. By the second time he appears he's still healing and looks pretty ridiculous while he's at it.
* MadDoctor: He kidnaps people and replaces their limbs and organs with machines.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: He has the same name as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_A._Sinclair David A. Sinclair]], an Australian scientist who has done research on aging and regeneration. Just like ''Invincible's'' Sinclair he believes aging can be overcome.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Genuinely sees nothing wrong with UnwillingRoboticisation and forced augmentation, believing that it's the future of humanity, and that he's doing people a favor.
* PsychopathicManChild: Basically throws a tantrum after seeing Omni-man destroy his second iteration of Reanimen.
* RecruitingTheCriminal: [[spoiler: He may have been recruited by the [=GDA=] for his cutting edge work in cybernetics (largely due to the emergency situation created by Omni-Man), but Cecil makes it very clear that he's on a ''very'' short leash.]]
* SharpDressedMan: He wears a mauve two-piece suit and tie which especially makes him stand out amongst the other more casually dressed college students. His choice to dress in a more formal manner than his fellow students also symbolizes how he views them all as being beneath him.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: He starts to work for the [[spoiler: Global Defense Agency from Episode 7 onwards, but Cecil makes it clear that he can't stand him and that feeling seems to be mutual.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He believes that what he is doing is improving humanity and increasing one's lifespan. No matter how horrifying and incredibly evil it is.

* FeelNoPain: Cecil had his people remove her pain center to allow her to better combat Omni-Man.
* GodzillaThreshold: She is released to fight Omni-Man after the space lasers and Reanimen fail to keep him back. Doing this causes their teleporter to stop working due to how big she is.
* HijackingCthulhu: Cecil kept her alive and teleported her to fight Omni-Man. They also juice her up on painkillers so she would keep fighting.
* {{Kaiju}}: Is called one in the show, and is a ginormous monster.

[[folder:The Flaxans]]
!!The Flaxans
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_flaxans.PNG]]
A warrior race from another dimension who use their technology to capture slaves from other dimensions.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, they mostly just showed up every once in a while to fulfill the typical "alien invasion" plot common to most comic books. Here, they very nearly take out the entirety of the Teen Team on their ''second'' invasion attempt, and by the third, they've just straight up found a way to nullify the temporal effects of interdimensional travel and are only beaten by timely interference by Omni-Man.
* AllThereInTheManual: The Flaxan Commander is named Slash due to his scar according to the X-Ray available when the video is paused when the Commander is on-screen.
* CanonForeigner: The Commander is original to the animated series to give the invading army more of a personality.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Its implied the reason the Commander kept leading his army back to Earth after decades is because of the wound Invincible gave him in their first battle. [[NeverMyFault A wound he got for trying to shoot an unarmed old woman]][[ForTheEvulz ...for kicks]].
* EvilEvolves: Thanks to the YearInsideHourOutside rules of their home dimension, they have decades to improve their technology and conquer whatever weakness defeated them the previous time, until they're eventually impossible for the Teen Team to defeat.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Their commander. Courtesy of Creator/DjimonHounsou.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: One of them gets a nasty scar on his face from getting punched by Invincible.
* RapidAging: Their weakness whenever they try to invade. They at least found a way to circumvent it.
* ItsPersonal: We don't know what he's saying, but it's clear through the commander's expressions and actions that he has a grudge against Invincible for scarring him.
* PoweredArmor: On their third attack, the Commander dons a large power suit that lets him beat down Invincible. [[spoiler: It doesn't do much for him against Omni-Man though.]]
* PrepareToDie: The one word Slash ever says in english while pummeling Mark:
-->"''Die''".
* SociopathicSoldier: They have no issue immediately gunning down human civilians every time they appear. Slash in particular ''really'' likes killing people.
* TheUnintelligible: They speak a language no one understands. Robot later figures out their language from recordings.

----
* BloodKnight: Absolutely adores fighting and wants to find worthy opponents.
* {{Bloodlust}}: He licks Invincible's blood off of his face after he opens his arms out and let's the hero's blood splattered against him from the impact of Battle Beasts' mace.
* BossInMooksClothing: He is given no special introduction like the rest of Machine Head's mooks. It's only until he beats the hell out of Invincible and most of the new Guardians that the ''massive'' power gap is made apparent.
* BraidsOfBarbarism: Has twin braids and is ''very'' barbaric.
* CarryABigStick: Carries a mace, which he puts to good use on Invincible's stomach.
* CatsAreMean: He's a lion-like alien and a ruthless bloodthirsty combatant.
* CurbStompBattle: Does this to Invincible and the ''entire'' Guardians of the Globe.
* GreatWhiteFeline: Is a white lion-like alien and is the most formidable foe Invincible faced so far.
* TheJuggernaut: He beats the hell out of Invincible and the new Guardians without even a scratch. They survived only because he left, calling their fight a disappointment.
* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: After crushing most of the heavy hitters of the Guardians of the Globe, he decides to leave as he feels they're too easy to fight.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: What his fight with the Invincible and the Guardians amounted to. Invincible, Monster Girl, and Black Samson got the ''gruesome'' worst of it and end up hospitalized.
* NoSell: The heroes' attacks only barely scratch him.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His suit is mostly black with red gloves.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Battle Beast is an Omni-Man level alien warrior that was hired as security for Machine Head. He annihilated Mark, then nearly killed Monster Girl and Black Samson all the while tanking through ''every'' attack thrown his way.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Was much more delicate and submissive in the comics.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's got an incredibly dry wit.
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/GwenStacy, although only when it comes to her role as a LoveInterest. They're both the first love interest of the protagonist, both have an attiude, but Mark later goes to the red-headed heroine. This is less noticeable in the adaptation due to Amber's RaceLift, as she heavily resembles Gwen in the original comic, not to mention of Amber not dying.
* InkSuitActor: She's drawn to look like Zazie Beetz.
* RaceLift: Amber is a blonde, white girl in the comics. She is black in the show.
* SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Deconstructed. She secretly figured out Mark's identity as Invincible fairly early on but is more hurt by the fact that he never trusted her enough to reveal it to her himself, which was the real reason why she broke up with him]].
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Mark attracts her attention by coming to her aid against a bully's advances. She doesn't even mind that he got beat up, in fact, it's what draws her to him.

----
* {{Blackmail}}: Todd's third appearance is to apologize to Mark: not because he felt bad or anything, but because Amber threatened him with old photos of him that she'd delete if he apologized. To top it with a cherry, [[LaserGuidedKarma it's implied she made]] ''[[CasanovaWannabe him]]'' [[LaserGuidedKarma give Mark her number as coup de grace]].
* TheBully: He's introduced hassling Amber for a date despite her clear disinterest and twice punches Mark for standing up for his classmate. The second time he ties to hurt Mark is after the gets his powers and NoSell his hits, freaking him out.
* BullyBrutality: Both times he attacked Mark was in a school hallway, in full view of witnesses, [[AdultsAreUseless yet no teachers appeared or reprimanded him afterwards]] and [[BystanderSyndrome no student apparently reported it]]. Luckily the second, more brutal beating comes after Mark has his powers and [[NoSell no sells]] his hits rightfully freaking him out.
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: He represents the classic depiction of Spider-Man's high-school bully Flash Thompson, except lacking his more redeeming traits and actually attacking Mark twice, something that Flash never did sans the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel and movie versions.

----
* AdaptationalJerkass: As much of a bizarre caricature of a overzealous father that occasionally said some really misogynistic things that Adam is, he didn’t try to make Eve go back to Rex once she broke-up with him after he cheated, in fact Adam in the comics didn’t like the fact Eve started dating Rex behind his back in the first place.
* BumblingDad: He is quite sexist and it's clear that his daughter doesn't respect him one bit.
* CurseCutShort: He just barely stops himself short of calling his own daughter a "bitch" because she won't forgive Rex for cheating on her.
* FantasyForbiddingFather: He greatly objects to Eve being a superhero.
* FatBastard: He is chubby and a sexist idiot.
* HateSink: He is sexist, controlling, and overall disrespectful towards his daughter. He claims she should forgive her ex-boyfriend for cheating on her and then says learning that she has powers was the worst day of her life, the latter of which brings her to tears.
* ImAManICantHelpIt: Claims this is the case, which is why Eve should forgive Rex for cheating on her.

[[spoiler: In episode 6 and 7 Mark becomes frustrated and agitated that his relationship with Amber has been tarnished due to refusing to tell the truth to her as well as attempting to reveal his secret identity only for it to fall flat when she reveals that she already knew.

[[Characters/Invincible2021Superheroes Superheroes]]
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While comic!Mark was a good guy, he also was a lot more indifferent toward the collateral damage, including loss of life, that came up in his early hero days. Seeing one of his classmates blow up wasn't even worth a mention in the comics, where in the show seeing someone die or failing to save someone causes him quite a bit of trauma to the point he questions if he even should be a hero.
[[Characters/Invincible2021Supervillains Supervillains]]
* AdaptationalWimp:
** Mark has a much steeper learning curve than in the comics, where superhero-ing was so easy for him that it gave him a false sense of security in the job.
** His strength at the beginning of the story in the show is lesser than what it was in the comic, which was exactly what gave Mark a false sense of security in the first place, Mark in the show is taking a lot more damage from his earlier foes.
* CivvieSpandex: In his first foray into the superhero life. He dons very garish outfit, with only goggles and a bandana over his mouth to hide his identity.
* ClothingDamage: Just like in the source material, sometimes Mark's costume takes as much of a beating as he does. Makes you wonder how much Art has his work cut out for him.
* FingerlessGloves: His ''Invincible'' superhero costume has a yellow pair of these, that go to his forearms. Hard to tell if they're a part of the suit or a separate article of clothing.
* InformedFlaw: Everyone says that Invincible's time management skills are terrible given that he stands up Amber a few times for training or hero duty, and that [[spoiler:his refusal to tell her the truth ends their relationship]]. Except...he's not running the training sessions, his dad is. Given [[spoiler:Nolan's ulterior motives and his disdain for all humans except Debbie and Mark]], it's hinted that Nolan is stalling Invincible on purpose to sabotage his relationship with Amber or is being InnocentlyInsensitive about it. Cecil seems to be doing the same thing by insisting that Invincible always answer the call of duty, while not [[DoubleStandard holding Atomic Eve to the same ones]] when she quits the Teen Team, refuses to join the new Guardians, and processes her own existential crisis. Not to mention that Invincible may be a new hero, but he's made a few enemies already and we all know the trope of a villain going after the love interest. Mark messed up by the fact that the adults in his life are putting too much pressure on him to be like his dad.
* TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife: Mark is constantly late to, canceling, or just missing plans he makes with Amber because of his work as Invincible. She clearly loves him, but is frustrated that he doesn't seem to be taking their relationship seriously. Mark considers telling her that he is Invincible at several points but doesn't. [[spoiler:This comes to a head in episode 6 when Mark has to become Invincible to fight the Reanimen attacking the college he, Amber and William are visiting, he tries to keep his cover by giving Amber the old "I-ran-to-get-help" excuse, but as far as Amber is concerned he ran away when his friends and girlfriend where attacked. The next episode reveals that Amber actually figured out his secret identity a while ago. Her problem with him is the fact that, from her perspective, he never trusted her enough to tell her]].
* OriginsEpisode: The first episode plays this straight as it shows him gaining his powers, his hero name inspired by a speech they're given, and his final scene is his first official fight as Invincible.
* PubertySuperpower: His father tells him that he will get his powers during puberty, although he is a late bloomer, getting them at 17.
* RaceLift: He's half-Korean thanks to his mother's change in race.
* SpiderManSendUp: {{Downplayed}}; he lacks any arachnid powers (due to being the son of the local SupermanSubstitute), but his personality is modeled after the younger incarnations Peter Parker.
* SupermanSubstitute: Well, more like a ComicBook/{{Superboy}} substitute.
* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler: For a few moments in Episode 7, has Mark become more self-centered and rude towards William and Eve after failing to win Amber back. He even contemplates quitting being a hero and ignoring pleads for help until he sees his father supposedly in danger.]]

[[folder:Omni-Man]]
!!Omni-Man (Nolan Grayson)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_omniman.PNG]]
!!! '''Voiced by''': Creator/JKSimmons

Mark's father, Debbie's husband, and Earth's strongest hero. Born on the planet Viltrum, a race of superpowered aliens, Nolan came to Earth over 20 years prior to the series to be its protector.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: [[spoiler: In the comics, he only realized how much he genuinely cared about his family and how much he enjoyed the life he had built on earth in retrospect, long after the Viltrumite Invasion and his part in it. In the show, he comes across as a lot more aware of just how much he enjoys his life on earth and as such, much more conflicted about his actions.]]
* AdaptationExpansion: Due the entire plot thread about what exactly happened with the Guardians of the Globe being expanded into a full long lasting mystery in the show, Nolan is tangentially in events he was never part of in the comics. [[spoiler:Such as being around when Mark decided to help Titan and watching Mark getting crushed by Battle Beast]].
* AdaptationalJerkass: [[spoiler:He was EvilAllAlong in the comics, but he kept that part of himself completely hidden until his direct confrontation with Mark over the matter. Here, after Mark develops his powers, he becomes progressively colder and more domineering, culminating in him refusing to stop a dragon rampage out of spite for Cecil and refusing to step in when his son is being beaten close to death by Battle Beast]].
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: [[spoiler:On the other hand, he doesn't seem to initially dismiss Debbie as a nothing more than a pet like he did in the comics. When trying to rehearse how he's going to confess to Mark that he murdered the original Guardians of the Globe, he says "I love you ''and'' your mother".]]
* AdaptationalWimp: [[spoiler:He kills the Guardians with little to no effort in the comics, but the cartoon shows them holding their own before their inevitable end.]]
* AbusiveParents: Before his son gets powers, he acts like a fairly conventional father. After he gets his powers, he begins to train his son rigorously, and is angry when his son doesn't listen to him. [[spoiler:Seeing his son to be beaten within an inch of his life by Battle Beast and not lifting a finger to help cements him as this.]]
* AffablyEvil: A genuinely loving husband and father [[spoiler:who doesn't hesitate to murder and destroy on an absolutely massive scale]].
* AmbiguousSituation: Why did he suddenly decide to [[spoiler:brutally murder the other Guardians of the Globe]]? He offers no explanation for it during the act itself and the show doesn't hint at anything that might have prompted it. It takes until episode 7 for him to say [[spoiler: he only killed them because it was his 'responsibility', albeit in a practice confession meant for Mark.]]
* AmbiguousSyntax: [[spoiler:His PreMortemOneLiner to the whole Flaxan race is "You don't seem to understand. Earth isn't ''yours'' to conquer." It would sound like a standard DeclarationOfProtection if it wasn't for the emphasis for the "yours"...]]
* BaitTheDog: He comes off as a well-meaning father to Mark as well as husband to Debbie, [[spoiler:before he ends the first episode bringing together the Guardians of the Globe and violently murdering them]].
* BewareTheSuperman: [[spoiler: He's a pretty obvious SupermanSubstitue, as a human-looking nearly all-powerful alien who chooses to protect and fight for earth as a super-hero. However, the series gradually reveals him as a cold-blooded murderer who is not afraid to commit planet-wide genocide. And who moight or might not be planning to conquer earth.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of Season 1.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He presents himself as the heroic savior of the world despite [[spoiler:being a murderous psychopath. After the funeral of the Guardians of the Globe where he calls them his friends, he acts callous and claims they were just his co-workers]].
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: His wife is less than pleased to find out he murdered the Guardians of the Globe]].
* ConflictingLoyalty: [[spoiler:There are hints dropped that he knows how much he does care about his life on Earth, which makes it difficult for him to commit to whatever scheme he's planning, even when both start intersecting in ways that compromise said plan. It comes to a head after Debbie finds concrete evidence that he murdered the Guardians of the Globe. Though he could easily kill her, he instead punches through a wall after she leaves and slumps down in a chair, possibly unsure if he could actually go through with it]].
* ConsummateLiar: [[spoiler:Goes around giving half-truths to Debbie and Mark, all but {{Gaslighting}} them.]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** [[spoiler:For all the measures Nolan took to fake having been the SoleSurvivor of an alleged attack in his killing the rest of the Guardians, he totally goofed and forgot to dispose of his damaged suit from the incident - the suit ''covered'' with signs of damage and injury from the other Guardians. Debbie asks Art to look it over and they realize he killed the Guardians himself, much to Nolan's chagrin.]]
** [[spoiler: Trying to pin the Guardians’ murders on Darkblood ends up making Cecil certain that he’s the one who actually did it. It was an extremely stupid move to accuse the person actively investigating and suspicious of him of the crime.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:As increasingly erratic and cold as he has been around them, ''We Need To Talk'' shows that Nolan does actually love his family, even though that leads him to suffering a crisis due to his ConflictingLoyalty. He's utterly appalled to find out that Cecil's men had been spying on them, and he spends a portion of his fight with the Immortal actually trying to help Mark fight the kaiju]].
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:Possibly...]]
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:During his second fight with the resurrected The Immortal, before he splits him in half, the latter forces his thumbs into his eyesockets. While he doesn't lose them due to being a Viltrumite, it does leave him with bleeding bloodshot eyes.]]
* FlyingBrick: He is super strong and can fly super fast.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: When his murder of the Guardians comes to light for both Debbie and Cecil, this is his excuse. The fact that he doesn't go beyond that is clearly NotHelpingHisCase.]]
** Similarly, [[spoiler: his rehearsal for confessing to Mark has him mentioning it was his 'responsibility' to do it and that he didn't want to do it. He peters out before he can say anything more though.]]
* InkSuitActor: Resembles a younger J.K. Simmons much more than his comic book counterpart does.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: He refuses to stop a dragon from running rampage in Rome to send Cecil a message, even when his wife is begging him to stop it.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: He annihilates the Flaxans and their planet which is very horrific as it may seem, however, the Flaxans committed many war crimes and invasions of other planets before Earth, so we shouldn't feel that bad that Omni-Man killed them all.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler: Hinting at his true nature, he casually brushes off the lives lost in battles and his loved ones' pained reactions towards them, opting to get something to eat after his recovery and after Mark learned an old woman he saved died from her injuries.]]
* LightningBruiser: He levels the Flaxxans' cities through sheer speed alone.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Trying to defeat [[spoiler: the Guardians, he wastes no time in cold-bloodedly murdering them, exchanging no words and focusing on killing as many as he can. In the episode after, he commits a total genocide on the Flaxans to eliminate their threat to his plans without wasting any time.]]
* OneManArmy: Takes on [[spoiler: the Guardians, other superheroes who outnumber him, and holds his own and kills them all.]] Later, he proves this again to the Flaxans, taking it UpToEleven— he's not just a walking army, he's a ''[[PersonOfMassDestruction walking planet killer]]''.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:As he demonstrates when he decimates the Flaxxan civilization, destroying their cities just by flying through them fast enough and leaving a trail of destruction visible from orbit.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:He is left with red bloodshot eyes after his second fight with The Immortal, which considering he also just split said Immortal in half right before his son's (and everyone who witnessed it) very eyes. Understandably leaves Mark very confused and scared of what his father might actually be.]]
* StockSuperheroDayJobs: Nolan is a writer, but it is such a minor part of his life (and Debbie seems to be the main breadwinner anyway) that's probably more of a hobby. The audience can easily miss any reference to it.
* SupermanSubstitute: His looks and powers are clearly based on the Man of Tomorrow. He's got a similar personality too, [[spoiler:[[BewareTheSuperman or so it seems...]]]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: A well respected defender of the planet who [[spoiler:delivered the eulogy of the funeral of the Guardians who he himself brutally murdered.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: From the ending of the first episode onwards, it’s hard to talk about him without going into [[spoiler:him murdering the Guardians and being colder to his family as well as not being as heroic as he has made the public think.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler:Brutally kills War Woman and Green Ghost. Not to mention the female Flaxans that he most likely killed when committing genocide.]]

[[folder:Debbie Grayson]]
!!Debbie Grayson
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_debbie_grayson.PNG]]
!!! '''Voiced by''': Creator/SandraOh

Mark's mother and Omni-Man's wife. Debbie is a realtor who has become quite adjusted to being married to a superhero that the usual adventures don't bother her anymore.
----
* AdaptationalIntelligence: [[spoiler:In the comics, Debbie does not realize Nolan is bad news until he attacks Mark. Here, she begins putting together the clues even before Damien Darkblood gives her a push. Eventually she finds out the complete truth with the help of Art and even confronts Nolan about it.]]
* AdaptationalJobChange: In the comics she was a housewife who became a realtor later in the run. Since SocietyMarchesOn and pure housewives are more uncommon these days, she is now a realtor from the start and seems to be the main breadwinner for the family.
* AdultFear: [[spoiler:Your husband of twenty years has been lying to you the entire time and murdered seven of his colleagues, including your friend's partner. Worse, he is planning on swaying your son to his side.]]
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: In episode 6. [[spoiler:"Fuck you, Nolan".]]
* HiddenDepths: In episode 6, when she and Art [[spoiler:go over the damaged Omni-Man suit from the slaughter of the Guardians, she's able to easily recognize every sign of another Guardian's weaponry or methods inflicted upon Nolan besides Red Rush's inflicted friction burns. It implies that for a mere civilian, she's all too familiar with her husband's colleagues and work enough to recognize their weapons and habits.]]
* MoralityPet: When Nolan first came to Earth, he was an entitled asshole who thought Debbie should worship the ground he walked on. After they broke up and got back together, Debbie taught him human customs and he became a more considerate, empathetic person. [[spoiler:Or so she thought. Granted, it's later implied that Omni-Man does legitimately love her, and notably, even after she found out that he murdered the Guardians of the Globe, he doesn't ever consider murdering or even threatening her]].
* NervesOfSteel: She's not afraid to tell off her husband if he steps out of line. [[spoiler:Directly confronting Nolan, who can easily break her like a twig, about his murder of the Guardians of the Globe qualifies her as this]].
* PrecisionFStrike: [[spoiler: And in arguably one of the most badass scenes in the show. When she discovers that Nolan murdered the Guardians and tries to dismiss her confrontation as her being drunk, Debbie gives a pretty good one to him, despite him being ''the most powerful being on the planet''.]]
--> [[spoiler: [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu Fuck you, Nolan.]]]]
* RaceLift: Is Korean rather than her Caucasian comic counterpart.
* SeenItAll: She is unfazed when the White House is destroyed and when her husband gets trapped in an alternate dimension. Twenty years with the Earth's premiere superhero will do that to you. [[spoiler: Harshly subverted when she finds out he killed other heroes he had teamed up with for years.]]

!!The Guardians of the Globe

!!!Original

[[folder:In General]]
* AdaptationExpansion: We actually get to see Omni-Man and the Guardians of the Globe in action with a sequence at the White House [[spoiler:before he kills them all]].
* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler:They actually put up a fight against Omni-Man and though he wins, he ends up passing out afterward from his injuries.]]
* CurbStompCushion: [[spoiler:Omni-Man's fight with them plays out differently in the Amazon adaptation. He still kills them all, but the team puts up a much better fight, managing to injure Omni-Man to the point that he's hospitalized for a short period of time following their battle.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of the ComicBook/JusticeLeague, given most of them are expies of DC heroes.
* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: [[spoiler:At the end of the first episode, they're all killed by none other than Omni-Man.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: They all lead their own lives and have their own stories, but as far as ''Invincible'' goes, [[spoiler:this is their end.]]

[[folder:The Immortal]]
!!The Immortal
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_the_immortal.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/RossMarquand

The leader of the Guardians and has been for decades.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: [[spoiler:In the comics, he and Omni-Man have a mutual HiddenDisdainReveal. In the show, he seemed to have legitimately considered Omni-Man a close ally before his betrayal and is visibly ''much angrier'' when he's brought back from the dead and faces the Viltrumite a second time]].
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics Omni-man easily defeated him in both their confrontations, but in the show while the outcome is the same, he at least gets to give Nolan an epic beat down before he loses.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
** Zigzagged. In the comic, he condescendingly speaks down to Bi-Plane before casually chucking him into space, whereas in the show, he immediately does it without exchanging any words with him. Regardless, [[GoodIsNotNice he acts smug both times and he doesn't think much about just killing his villains.]]
** Played straight in that in the comic, he has a HiddenDisdainReveal about Omni-Man before [[spoiler:being killed by him]]. Here, he's much less of a dick, to the point that [[spoiler:he instead believes Omni-Man is being mind-controlled and that he would otherwise never betray them.]]
* AllLovingHero: Unsurprisingly, he's this, [[spoiler:trying to rationalize Omni-Man's violent betrayal as him being mind-controlled and wanting to non-lethally neutralize him. Sadly, it costs him and the rest of the team their lives, assuming he was holding back.]]
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Has existed since the ancient stone age era and has taken part in various wars during his lifetime.
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Apparently [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln Honest Abe]] was an immortal Celtic warrior whom survived his assassination and became a super hero.]]
* CameBackWrong: Subverted, while it appears that there might have been something wrong with him [[spoiler:after the Mauler twins bring him back to life with a mind control collar attached. He actually just woke up unbelievably pissed at Omni-man's betrayal and subsequent murders of the Guardians.]]
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: {{Inverted}}; he's a heroic version of ComicBook/VandalSavage if he had FlyingBrick powers.
* {{Determinator}}: {{Justified Trope}}, considering his powers, but in his [[spoiler: second encounter with Omni-Man, (mere minutes after getting revived by the Maulers) with his arsenal dry and Omni-man’s fist through his chest, Immortal resorts to [[EyeScream trying to gouge Nolan’s eyes out with his thumbs before dying.]] ]]
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:After getting his guts punched out by Omni-Man, he can only quietly mutter, "Why? ''Why?!"'', before receiving [[OffWithHisHead his coup de grâce]].]]
* FlyingBrick: His powerset. [[spoiler:While it does allow him to actually fight Omni-man, it sadly doesn't mean he's a match for a Viltrumite.]]
* GoodIsNotSoft: In a moment of BlackComedy, he throws one of his villains into space and jokes after the fact that it's a sure way to get rid of them permanently.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:How Omni-Man defeats him a second time, another hole in his stomach and cut in half by his bare hands. Although just before that he gives Omni-man one [[EyeScream last parting gift]] before he's defeated.]]
* HealingFactor: A very strong one, its not super accelerated or anything, but given time and just a little help [[spoiler:he will even heal from being beheaded.]]
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: [[spoiler:In his tremendously long life, he was many historical figures, one of which was UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln himself; Honest Abe in modern times is now a traditional costumed superhero]].
* {{Immortality}}: Of TheAgeless variety, having been around since the Stone Age [[spoiler: but was still killed by Omni-Man like the rest of the Guardians. Episode 7 reveals he also has ressurective immortality, as he can be killed but given time (and a little help) he can heal and revive]].
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Gets his head chopped off by Omni-Man after getting his guts punched out.]] [[spoiler:It later gets reattached by the Mauler Twins, enabling him to come back to life and try to get his [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge revenge on Omni-Man]].]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:When the Mauler twins bring him back to life, he's so overcome by revenge that he just straights up guns for Omni-Man without any hesitation. Not even caring the fact that he's fighting a Kaiju with another superhero.]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Once he finally finds Omni-Man again, he doesn't hesitate to immediately gun for the Viltrumite and try to beat the absolute crap out of him.]]
* ScreamingWarrior: [[spoiler: When he's resurrected by The Mauler Twins, the first thing he does when he remembers Omni-Man's attack is fly after him. When he does find him, Immortal ''ignores'' the giant monster and instead targets Omni-Man while screaming that they were once brothers in arms and asking (via screaming) why Omni-Man killed them all.]]
* SupermanSubstitute: While not as blatant as Omni-man, he has shades of this. Due to having FlyingBrick powers and being the leader of a famous superhero team. In fact during one of the flashbacks when [[spoiler:Mauler twins bring him back to life, his first superhero costume looks like an exact duplicate of Superman's debut costume.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: He's definitely got a lot of Spoileriffic stuff about him.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: Immortal is erratic in his rematch against Omni-Man and demands to know why Omni-Man killed him and his friends.]]

* CurbStompBattle: What ''do'' you expect when a BadassNormal tries to fight a literal '''SupermanSubstitute''' up close?
* IronicDeath: For being based on an iconic BadassNormal superhero who's ''known'' for [[BatmanGambit Batman Gambits]] and obvious "Brain vs Brawn" strategies against superpowered foes, [[spoiler:Darkwing dies trying to fight Omni-Man ''up close'' after flanking him]].

* AmbiguouslyGay: Her comic book counterpart is a lesbian, and her solo scene in the comics focuses on her relationship with her girlfriend.

!!!New Team

[[folder:In General]]

* FailureHero:
** Compared to the original Guardians, Robot's version of the team is a bit of a disaster from the get-go, with them barely tolerating each other to be a proper team. So far their track record hasn't been kind to them even when they "win." Episode 5 goes into this when Black Samson and Robot chew the team out for celebrating defeating the Lizard League, but ignoring the fact there were SIGNIFICANT civilian casualties in this fight, the two going into detail (with holographic reference) on the numerous ways they could have minimized civilian casualties. It's telling that neither Cecil nor Omni-Man have much faith in the team.
** [[spoiler:The team sort of gets their act together when coming to Invincible and Titan's rescue, eventually defeating Machine Head's hired supervillains. However, they do end up being severally brutalized in the fight, with Monster Girl and Black Samson being maimed and in critical condition. However, despite this being a victory, in the grand scheme of things this makes the team appear even more incompetent, as they almost died to what was (in essence) a "street-level" threat, and only survived because the most dangerous member of Machine Head's thugs simply got bored and left, and the Guardians are *literally* supposed to be the first and last defense against world ending threats.]]
* GenderEqualEnsemble: When it started out it had three men (Robot, Rex Splode, Black Samson) and three women (Monster Girl, Dupli-kate, and Shrinking Rae).
* InadequateInheritor: Compared to the first Guardians of the Globe, Robot's version of the team is considerably underwhelming in comparison, both in overall power level and ability to work as a team.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Robot's team is is prone to infighting and compared to [[spoiler:The late previous Guardians of the Globe]] they are woefully underequipped to deal with the foes and emergencies the Guardians are expected to handle, but when they come together, they are a more than capable superhero team.

!!Robot [[spoiler:(Rudolph Connors)]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_robot.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/ZacharyQuinto and [[spoiler:Creator/RossMarquand]]

A self-aware machine and the new leader of the Guardians; formerly the leader of the Teen Team before their membership merged into the new Guardians.
----
* TheAce: He's TheLeader, TheSmartGuy, and also strong, durable, and has powerful weapons.
* AdaptationDistillation: [[spoiler:In the comics Robot shows the reader his plans to give himself a new healthy body and find a way to cure Monster Girl’s aging condition roughly at the same time; the show has Robot solely focused on his new body on Season 1, he only vaguely hints about his plan to help Amanda when he tries to explain himself to the team]].
* AmbiguouslyEvil: He's a hero who leads the Teen Team and later the new Guardians yet [[spoiler: arranges for The Mauler Twins to escape custody though with no casualties aside from a security guard and one of the twins themselves. He also steals a sample of Rex’s blood for phase one of a plan of his.]] [[spoiler: ''We Need To Talk'' finally establishes that while his actions are potentially unethical and sometimes illegal, his goals are not sinister though slightly disturbing. His end goal was to simply put an end to the suffering he has endured all his life and have a normal body. He still resolves to put the Twins in jail once their business is over.]]
* BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler:His secretive operations are framed in an ominous way, like someone who presents himself as a hero but is doing potentially evil behind everyone’s back, with that image doubled in effect since the show has it happen concurrently with whatever Omni-man is doing at first; however, all of that as questionable and unethical as it was, truly had no evil intents, Robot just wanted a new healthy body to live the life he never could before, Rudy remains a hero more or less]].
* BodyHorror:[[spoiler:Episode 4 ends with the reveal of his true body and it definitely doesn't look pretty, being nothing more than a fetus made out of a blob of flesh and wires. Which is why he seeks out the Mauler twins to help him gain a new body which is successfully achieved in ''We Need To Talk''.]]
* CommonalityConnection: Attempts this with [[OlderThanTheyLook Monster Girl]] about how people have difficulty looking past one's appearance. [[SubvertedTrope It falls flat]] as [[InnocentlyInsensitive she doesn't get his meaning, asking how a robot could understand]]. That said, she grows to appreciate it after Robot goes through several lengths to help her when she's severely wounded by Battle Beast.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: He didn't think that secretly taking Rex's DNA, conspiring with the Mauler Twins to create a child clone of him, then showing up to his team as said clone would raise too many questions.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:The cloning process duplicates his consciousness rather than transfers it. This means his original body still exists in the painful state. He asks for the Rex clone to let him die to end his suffering.]]
* JustAMachine: His biggest obstacle to leading the new Guardians is the fact that many view him as being less than a person due to his mechanical nature, undermining his authority. [[spoiler: Then its revealed in the fourth episode that the physical bot we've seen has been remote controlled by the ''real'' Robot, [[BodyHorror who is pretty much a blob of flesh more or less]].]]
* MachineMonotone: Speaks in a monotone voice with a robotic effect, befitting his mechanical nature.
** Subverted later on, where he sometimes speaks with more emotion.
* OlderThanTheyLook: The [[spoiler: original]] Robot [[spoiler: looks like a fetus. The clone that Robot copies his mind into looks a similar age to Monster Girl despite Robot's mind being 30 years old. Also overlaps with YoungerThanTheyLook since the clone was just created but looks like a pre-teen.]]
* RaceLift: [[spoiler:Automatically done by virtue of making himself a perfect copy of Rex, who is vaguely of greek descent in the show]].
* ReplacementGoldfish: Not wanting to [[spoiler: live in his mutated body anymore,]] he [[spoiler: creates a clone of Rex and copies his consciousness and memories into the new body. The new body then kills the old one at his request and lives the life Robot always wanted to.]]
* {{Technopath}}: [[spoiler:In his original body Robot controlled his droids remotely through his advanced machinery; in his new human body Rudy controls his creations with his mind, thanks to the implant in his brain]].

!!Rex Splode (Rex Sloan)
[[quoteright:345:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_rex_splode.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/JasonMantzoukas

A superhero who can charge potential energy to turn anything he touches into bombs; formerly of the Teen Team selected to join the new Guardians roster. He is naturally incorrigible and hostile with Invincible.
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: While he always was kind of a douche in the comics, the animation makes Rex way more abrasive and on the nose, paving way for any comeuppance for his bad behavior feel more justified.
* ButtMonkey: Episode 3 is just one long HumiliationConga for him [[HoistByHisOwnPetard all caused by his own choices]] [[SmugSuper and general personality]]:
** First, his girlfriend catches him in the shower with their teammate believing something was going on between Eve and Invincible. He realizes his mistake and tries to say it doesn't mean anything in ''front'' of said teammate. [[HopeSpot Then he gets into the new Guardians of the Globe...]]only to get his ass beaten to a pulp after [[BullyingADragon making fun of another of the new members]] [[{{Jerkass}} for no reason other]] [[BadassAdorable than she appeared to be a little girl]]. Invincible has to step in to stop the fight; [[AesopAmnesia Rex doesn't learn his lesson]] and ends up antagonizes the other members of the team, leaving disliked by everyone on the team. [[DownerEnding Then Eve finalizes their break-up and repeats she won't be joining the Guardians leaving him all alone.]]
** In the following episode, he buries the hatchet with Monster Girl only to be told to stay away from her thanks to his obvious bad choices last episode, blamed entirely for alienating Eve from the team. [[spoiler: Then Robot pinches his shoulder, taking a blood sample that is phase one of some larger plan.]]
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Of ComicBook/{{Gambit}}, with his charm and suave replaced with jerkassery and anger issues.
* CurbStompBattle: He received a severe beatdown from Monster Girl.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: During one of his snide (jealous) remarks at Invincible its mentioned he didn't ever got to go to school. His girlfriend snarks [[InsultBackfire that much]] [[DumbMuscle is obvious]]. He also remarks that his childhood sucked when [[spoiler:calling out Robot for creating a clone of his kid-self without his knowledge]].
--> '''Rex''': You're ruining my childhood, and that's hard, because it already SUCKED!
* DefeatMeansFriendship: When he first meets Monster Girl, he makes fun of her for being too young and she makes fun of his dick and then beats him up. Despite this they reconciled and are seen fist-bumping each other in episode 5.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: The entire reason he cheats of Eve is because he assumed that she was seeing Mark just because they come to the base together, despite her explaining that its because they go to the same school together. Not once does he actually try to talk to his girlfriend or follow them to see if it was true or not.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** Rex claims to be entitled to date any girl he wants thanks to his hero status, but draws the line on Monster Girl because her PowerAtAPrice makes her younger with each transformation, resembling a young teen.
** [[spoiler: Rex is also justifiably disturbed by how Robot make a young clone of himself to use as a body, even remarking how looking at reminds him of bad times.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: He's egotistical, condescending, and bad-tempered. Not to mention he cheats on his girlfriend.
* HavingABlast: Rex has the power charge potential energy to turn anything he touches into bombs.
* HiddenDepths:
** He ''really'' doesn't want to be such a {{Jerkass}} SmugSuper CowardlyLion and Eve says [[UsedToBeASweetKid that he wasn't always like this]]. Demonstrated in his powers as well when, after two episodes using them solely for combat, he uses them to create a brilliant fireworks display over the city.
** When Cecil tells the new team that [[spoiler:the latest Guardians of the Globe are the last hope against Omni-man, he quickly manages to deduce what happened to the previous team.]] Showing that he isn't completely as dumb as he acts.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Although he's rude to "Monster Girl", he has a point that she seems too young to join the team. He would soon learn the hard way that she's actually an adult who has a HulkingOut ability.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: After the two bury the hatchet and joke around a bit, Robot tells him that Rex better not make any moves on Monster Girl. Rex points out that she's "like 14" [[OlderThanTheyLook not knowing her real age]] and [[CasanovaWannabe claims that as a Guardian he has his pick of women now]].
* PersonalityPowers: It really can't be a coincidence that Rex Splode has [[HavingABlast the power to make charge objects with explosive energy]] and seems to [[HairTriggerTemper have some serious anger issues]].
* RaceLift: Most likely of Greek descent, as he's voiced by Jason Mantzoukas, and WordOfGod says they wanted all ethnicities of the characters to match the actor that was cast for them.
* TookALevelInKindness: He's noticeably friendlier (if still pretty obnoxious) in ''We Need To Talk''. [[spoiler:Seeing his entire team nearly get beaten to death by Battle Beast might've had something to do with it]].
* TheToothHurts: Monster girl knocks several of his teeth out when pummeling him, and he's seen still missing them later on. Funny enough in a mildly literal case of this trope, he actually tries to use the knocked out teeth against Monster Girl by using his powers on them.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: {{Downplayed}}. When Eve calls him an asshole for cheating on her with Dupli-Kate, she makes a comment he wasn't always like this, though when he asks how she doesn't say.

!!Dupli-Kate (Kate Cha)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_duplikate.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/MaleseJow

A self-replicating superheroine; formerly of the Teen Team selected to join the new Guardians roster. She was Eve's friend before ruining that friendship by cheating with Rex.
----
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Apparently it didn't occur to Kate to even talk to Eve before hooking up with Rex, if not out of common courtesy then to double-check his story.
* ExpendableClone: Her primary defensive move is to quickly spawn a clone to tank a deadly hit on her behalf, and Dupli-Kate clones [[GoodThingYouCanHeal are frequently butchered just to show how serious the fights are]]. That said, it is implied that she can ''feel'' what her clones feel, or at least affected by their death. When one of Machine Head's cohorts kills one of Kate's clones, she almost passes out.
* {{Expy}}: She's a gender-flipped ComicBook/MultipleMan. Her preference of making three of herself also brings to mind Triplicate Girl of the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperheroes.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Due to her ability to spawn an endless number of clones, every major fight sees Dupli-Kate taking many more outright-lethal attacks than anyone else. She even complains that the Flaxans are killing her almost as fast as she can clone herself.
* KarmaHoudini: When Robot chastises Rex for cheating on Eve last episode which led to Eve not joining the Guardians, no mention is made how Kate played a part as well. Eve also forgives Kate much more easily for the whole affair than Rex. Downplayed in that Rex had apparently told Kate beforehand that Eve was dating Invincible, so the whole thing could be attributed to a misunderstanding, and Kate's just as angry with Rex as Eve is once she learns the truth.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Has a foursome with Rex before Eve catches them.
* SelfDuplication: Her superpower which is to make duplicates of herself. According to her, the clones ''are'' her while still an apparent difference between the original "Kate" and the copies.
* SympatheticAdulterer: She only has sex with Rex because she believed Eve (his then-current girlfriend) had broken up with him for Invincible, and she's clearly remorseful once Eve confronts her about it.
* YouAreNumberSix: Somehow, the number on her suit changes to represent which number clone is which with "1" being the original.

!!Black Samson (Markus Grimshaw)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_black_samson.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/KharyPayton

A de-powered superhero who now uses a special combat suit of armor. Once he was a member of the original Guardians of the Globe before losing his powers, he has since been selected by Robot to join the new incarnation he formed.
----
* BrutalHonesty: He doesn't even attempt to hide that he is disappointed in The New Guardians poor team ability not even attempting to do damage control.
* CameBackStrong: After his near-death experience thanks to Battle Beast. [[spoiler:He manages to regain his powers after the doctors defibelirate him several times to bring him back to life.]]
* DePower: Rex Splode mentions a NoodleIncident that stripped Black Samson of his superpower.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Black Samson (the person who's basically a regular human without his power armor)thought charging Battle Beast [[spoiler:(the thing that just beat Invincible to the brink of death)]] with his bare hands was a good idea. [[spoiler: Battle Beast proceeded to show him [[UsefulNotes/LiteralDisarming why this was a ''bad'' idea.]] ]]
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/IronMan. Visually his suit also bears a resemblance to the one used by ComicBook/LexLuthor.
* FantasticRacism: He claims that Robot is not fit to be a leader because he's just "ones and zeroes".
* JerkassHasAPoint: When the other Guardians all want to celebrate their most recent victory, he instead has Robot bring up footage of the battle and points out the mistakes they all made, saying they acted as cocky individuals instead of a team, and civilians got hurt because of it. When he and Rex Splode get into an argument over it, Dupli-Kate steps in and tells Rex that Black Samson is not wrong.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a bit of an old hardass but he's serious about being a hero. [[spoiler:While ultimately futile, after seeing Battle Beast nearly kill Invincible and Monster Girl, makes him lose it and try to fend off Battle Beast to try and save them.]]
* PowerArmor: Uses a suit of this to compensate for his lack of powers. During the fight against Machine Head and his hired supervillains. It gets badly damaged to the point that he has to discard it.
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:He is the only member of the Guardians to not be lured in and killed by Omni-Man]].
* TranquilFury: When Rex Splode mocks his lack of powers and how he would’ve been useful in saving the Guardians [[spoiler: from their deaths]] if he still had them, Samson calmly tells him that if he makes a joke like that again he’s going to kick his ass until Rex goes back to calling him “Dad” as an insult.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote: Click here to see her monster-form]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_monster_girl.PNG[[/labelnote]]]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/GreyGriffin (Amanda), Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson (Monster)

A cursed 24-year old who de-ages with each use of her powers to become a Troll man. She begins the series as an apparently 12-year-old.
----
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: The show has Amanda a little more composed compared to her character in the comic, there she was desperate to maintain more adult behavior and vices even in her child's body, such as being a serial flirt and smoking; here this is all reduced to Amanda wanting to drink beer still. [[spoiler:This results in Robot's body choice coming off as less on point in the show, in the comics it was clear why he choose Rex, Amanda was dangerously flirty with the guy, quite literally gazing at his butt]].
* AdaptationalWimp: Slightly, in the comics her healing factor was a lot stronger and any damage done while in monster form was undone just by changing back. Case in a point in a scene that appears in both the comic and the show, Invincible hitting her at the tryouts, in the comic she was fine after changing back but in the show she was still hurt, though not badly, after changing back.
* AgeLift: In the comics Amanda says she is a 29 years old woman trapped in a child's body, the animation has her be 24 years old; a rather inconsequential change, since her predicament remains the same.
* BerserkButton: By her admission to Invincible, being called a kid is this. She apologizes for lashing out at him for trying to stop her beatdown on Rex.
* BlessedWithSuck: Can transform into a hulking green monster, but it makes her younger each time. This makes her potential love life next to impossible, and is unable to train often.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: While the show has Amanda comment on how terrible it feels to have the desires of a grown woman while stuck in a child’s body, feeling she will never be answered by a man without it being from either a pedophile or an actual prepubescent boy, the show heavily tones down how flirty Amanda could be with her team mates in the comics, being very upfront about how much she longed for intimacy before Robot called her out on it. It doesn't stop her from drinking beer as long as she reminders them that she's an adult.
* DeadpanSnarker: Her first lines start with her roasting Rex.
* DontYouDarePityMe: When Robot tries to empathize with Amanda’s issue of others judging them for their appearance, thinking less of them for it, by pointing out they are the same in this regard she brushes Robot’s words off by saying he is just a Robot, he wouldn’t understand what it is like, thus doing the exact same thing others have done to her, judging by appearances alone. [[spoiler:That hurts Robot on the double, for Amanda couldn’t sympathize with him thinking he is just a robot, and she was unknowingly insensitive to his real human self as well]].
* FacialHorror: Battle Beast uses two stone blocks to crush her face, tearing half the skin off in episode 5.
* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: Her trash-talking of Rex, namely that his bad attitude is CompensatingForSomething, comes across as this. Subverted because she's actually an adult in a de-aged body.
* GenderBender: Female as a human, male as a monster.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's a smartass and a bit snappy about her condition, but she's quick to apologize to Invincible for lashing out at him for a moment. And even makes amends with Rex, despite being justified in kicking his ass.
* IShallTauntYou: In full force when Rex starts making fun of her.
* LighterAndSofter: Due Amanda being more composed in the show, her proximity with Rex after their initial squable is that of friends who engage in friendly banter, without Amanda casually flirting with him like it was in the comics; [[spoiler:however, this lighter proximity still inspires Robot to take Rex's body as the base for his new one, in order to impress Amanda]].
* NoSmoking: One way the comics used to visually convey Amanda was an older woman in a kid’s body was her smoking to relieve stress early in the series, in the show she shows no interest in cigs, focusing solely on beer instead.
* OlderThanSheLooks: In her first episode, she claims to be 24 despite having a prepubescent body.
* PaedoHunt: According to her, her curse makes having a relationship difficult. If it isn't with those just entering puberty, it's others "popping up on sex offender registries".
* SuperToughness: Rex's explosives don't even leave a scratch on her.
* TheWorfEffect: She is the strongest and toughest member of the Guardians, but Battle Beast easily thrashes her around and rips her face off. Ironically, Battle Beast is voiced by Michael Dorn who played Worf.

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/GreyGriffin

A size-manipulating superheroine, who worked solo before being asked to join the new Guardians roster.
----
* ActionGirl: Quite the badass compared to her more useless source material self.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comic, it's a bit of a running gag just how useless Ray is. In fact, he frequently misses the fight completely. Rae, on the other hand, is very efficient at using her powers in a fight, doing things like shrinking while she has her opponent in a headlock to tighten the constriction, or climbing into her opponent's inner ear to induce nausea.
* AdaptationalNameChange: Very {{Downplayed}}. Was "Shrinking Ra'''y'''" in the comics.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Her voice is fairly husky.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] superheroine Doll Girl. She also has a bit of the Atom to her.
* GenderFlip: She was a man in the comics.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: She knows how to use her shrinking powers well. Like getting inside someones inner ear to induce nausea and shrinking while having her arms wrapped around her opponent's neck really tight.
* IWorkAlone: Her comment about not working with a team before indicates she was working as a solo hero before joining the new Guardians.

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/GillianJacobs

A matter/energy manipulating superheroine; formerly of the Teen Team selected to join the new Guardians roster. She is Invincible's guide into the particulars of superheroes, and first-superhero friend.
----
* AdaptationalModesty: A very minor change but it’s still there, Eve in the animation has the lower part of her hero costume be like sport mini-shorts, unlike in the comics where she wears a LeotardOfPower; other than that her outfit is the same between the two mediums.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Slightly so. In the beginning of the comic storyline, Eve acted more like a stereotypical girl-next-door with frequent emotional outbursts and silent longing, whereas her animated counterpart is much more mature and composed from the get-go. Case in point; after Rex cheats on her in the comics, she's extremely upset and vents her feelings to Mark, even breaking down in hysterical tears. In the show, she's still justifiably furious when she discovers the affair, but she gets over it much more quickly (though she still doesn't forgive Rex).
* ClarkKenting: Takes advantage and acknowledges this trope, saying it's simply a case of psychology.
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson but with ComicBook/GreenLantern Doctor Manhattan-esque powers.
* FieryRedHead: Has a bit of a temper, but she controls it very well and doesn't let it get the better of her most of the time.
* GoodFeelsGood: After striking out on her own, Eve is shown doing a bunch of humanitarian efforts, such as stopping natural disasters and helping crops grow. She returns home thoroughly exhausted but more happy then she has ever been just punching villains of the week.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Mark initially had an interest in her only to learn about her and Rex, making him quickly back off. This didn't stop Rex [[NotWhatItLooksLike from thinking something was going on]] and to cheat on Eve with Dupli-Kate.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She's clearly upset to see Mark kissing Amber in "Who You Calling Ugly?", but she smiles as she flies away and says "Good for you, Mark" in a sincere tone. "That Actually Hurt" shows her being friendly towards Amber, harboring no jealousy and encouraging her to stay with Mark.
* LoveTriangle: She develops an interest in Mark after Rex cheated on her, but unfortunately he's already in a relationship with Amber.
* NiceGirl: While a bit high-strung, she's a good friend to Mark, Amber and a few others. Greatly appreciating them and trying her best to help them out.
* PinkIsFeminine: Her costume which, as she explains to Dr. Seismic when he critiques it as being forced on her by TheMan, was designed by Eve herself.
* ProneToVomiting: She admits that back in her rookie days, she would StressVomit "Like a fire-hydrant" before every mission.
* RoseHairedSweetie: Minor example. She's a NiceGirl who patiently talks Invincible through his first steps as a superhero and has red hair with a pink super suit.
* SmallStepsHero: She decides to start using her powers to stop environmental crises like drought, wildfires, rockslides, etc., rather than fighting villains.
* StayInTheKitchen: On the receiving end of this from her own parents. "That Actually Hurt" reveals her parents were only okay with her being a hero as long as she was on a team with her boyfriend. Finding out she is now independent freaks them out because as they say, Rex isn't around to protect her, which is pretty laughable given Eve is ''a lot'' more powerful then him. Her father outright says she shouldn't be a hero at all, and a couple times has to stop himself from saying misogynistic stuff including almost telling his daughter "to stop acting like a bitch."
* {{Transmutation}}: The true scope of her abilities, in a tense argument with her parents over her break-up with Rex, Eve lashes out when her father says she can’t do anything alone, including this hero business, she rebukes by saying she can, in fact, do ''everything'', and that is shaping matter to her will like ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} as she manipulated the room they are in by warping its size, then leaving the house through a door she created.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ClancyBrown

A demon detective who escaped Hell and works to bring justice for others to prolong his stay on Earth by whatever margin. A sudden cold in the ambient temperature precedes his presence.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler:The comic version was more of a joke as it took him forever to realize Omni-Man killed The Guardians of the Globe LONG after the truth about Omni-Man was revealed. Here he's suspicious of Omni-Man from the get-go and by episode 4, he has figured out that Omni-Man is the culprit.]]
* TheAtoner: Damien earns a longer reprieve from Hell by solving cases and achieving justice for the dead, with the hopes of eventually saving his own soul. Though it remains ambiguous if he's merely doing this out of self-interest or if he has a genuine desire for penance and regrets whatever deeds damned him.
* BloodMagic: Cecil calls it "demon magic" but admits he doesn't know a lot. One of his powers is to see the aftermath of the [[spoiler: Guardians' death. Its also what helps him determine only them and Omni-Man were present at the scene, meaning one of them had to be the killer.]]
* BoxedCrook: PlayedWith. Damien Darkblood apparently escaped hell somehow and according to Omni-Man, Damien gets a few years reprieve for every case he solves and sees justice done.
* CassandraTruth: He outright tells Cecil that the only people at the scene of the Guardian's murder was the team and Omni-Man, heavily implying he had something to do with it. The GDA Director outright tells the demon, if he tells his "idiotic thoughts" to anyone, Cecil will send the demon to hell himself [[spoiler:which he does the next episode]].
** Somewhat {{Justified}} as Cecil points out that there are literally ''hundreds'' of supervillains that wanted the Guardians dead and don't leave a trace. [[spoiler: Furthermore, it's revealed he actually does believe Darkblood, he just wants to learn more about the case rather than tipping off Nolan.]]
* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: Wears a [[BadassLongcoat trench coat]] and [[NiceHat fedora]] making him out to be a demonic detective straight out a {{Noir}} Detective story.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's a demon who works a detective. Admittedly, it is suggested his reasons for doing heroic deeds aren't completely altruistic.
* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler: Gets exorcised back to Hell in episode 4]].
* {{Expy}}: He is modeled after ComicBook/TheQuestion and [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Rorschach]] with a ComicBook/{{Hellboy}} aesthetic. He also shares ComicBook/JohnConstantine's status as TheFriendNobodyLikes, and having vaguely selfish reasons for getting justice for others. [[spoiler: And like Rorschach he's removed from the board to prevent him from exposing a conspiracy but leaves behind his notes for someone to find.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Gets sent back to Hell in episode 4, which Donald thinks is worse than death.]]
* GhostlyChill: The temperature drops whenever he appears with people suddenly being able to see their breath. It's how Cecil knows he's there and how [[spoiler: Omni-Man comes to suspect the demon was in the hero's house.]]
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He figures out that Omni-Man murdered the Guardians as part of the role of the "Demon Detective"...[[spoiler: only for Cecil to use a reconstructed spell to send him back to hell where he can't do anything about it.]]
* NoOntologicalInertia: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. His GhostlyChill lingers a while after he leaves an area.
* NoSocialSkills:
** He admits that human nuances are lost on him, appearing in the Grayson's home uninvited and frightening Debbie, before more or less telling her Omni-Man's story doesn't make sense.
** His speech pattern is also often direct and blunt, speaking with a sort of pidgin reminiscent of Rorschach.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: It's mentioned that he has a soul and can save it by seeking justice for others after escaping hell.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: [[spoiler: Damien is exorcised back to Hell by Donald and Cecil in Episode 4, in order to not interfere with the latter's plans]].

The director of the GDA, he oversees all operations relating to the world of superheroes helped by his ability to teleport, and ropes in Invincible once he starts as a hero. After the death of the Guardians of the Globe, he begrudgingly lets Damien Darkblood investigate for him.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Relatively speaking. Compared to his comic iteration, Cecil is much more conflicted and regretful about some of the things he has to do. But he still does them. [[spoiler: Mixed with AdaptionalJerkass when it comes to his recruiting DA Sinclair, as he treats the MadScientist with the contempt he deserves and it ''seems'' that the situation is closer to a prison job with a side of TeethClenchTeamwork than what its comic equivalent was.]]
* BadassNormal: Doesn't have any powers to speak off, but he's more than willing to put himself in danger [[spoiler:to stall Omni-man in the field. Such as using some kind of energy rifle to get Omni-man's attention (even knowing it won't hurt him) and wasting his time by using a teleportation device to dodge his attacks.]]
* BaldOfAwesome: Or Balding of Awesome anyway.
* BigBrotherIsWatching: [[CassandraTruth He dismisses Damian Darkblood's claim]] that the [[spoiler: killer of the Guardians of the Globe (who is Omni-Man) had to be one of them]]. He places the Graysons under surveillance regardless, [[MetaphoricallyTrue the justification being that the killer was still out there]].
** In the following episode though, he tells Mark that this trope is standard practice and is the price of being a superhero.
** [[spoiler: In episode 4, it's revealed that he does know Omni-Man killed the Guardians but wants to know why and how to stop him.]]
* CoolOldGuy: The director of the local ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} {{Expy}} and everything that entails. He's calm, collected and quite mysterious. [[spoiler:He shows off this coolness even further by straight up going in the field and stalling Omni-man himself. He fully knows he can't win especially after seeing a good amount of his men killed but he still does it.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: He's ruthless in his dedication to protecting humanity from any and all threats, and will not hesitate to cross any line he deems necessary to do so. But he makes it known under no uncertain terms that he's incredibly disgusted by D.A. Sinclair and his creations. [[spoiler: Which only goes to show how desperate he is when he decides to call on Sinclair to try and stop Nolan when the latter goes looking for Mark. Understandably it's clear that he is not enjoying it every one bit.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of the classic ComicBook/NickFury minus the eyepatch and a whole lot more older looking.
* GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler: Crossed at least twice, in an attempt to stop Nolan, and potentially kill him, before he could get to Mark. The first time, he sent some of Sinclair's undead Reanimen after Nolan, later remarking just even talking to Sinclair made him feel dirty. The second, he sent the Kaiju, Nolan fought in a previous battle, only with every enhancement injected into the creature he could think of to bolster it's strength.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: He is far from the nicest individual and does a lot of shady stuff to protect the planet.
* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler: He sent Damien Darkblood back to Hell because he didn't want him to interfere with the investigation, saying that he needs to keep things calm until he finds out why Nolan killed the Guardians and how to stop him.]]
## [[spoiler: Considering how Nolan killed the Guardians (6 of them having superpowers/inhuman abilities and Darkwing being a regular human who reached his peak physical condition), Cecil needs to be smart about handling Nolan.]]
## [[spoiler: The audience also knows that Nolan has either committed genocide or near-genocide on the Flaxan homeworld, so keeping Nolan placid should be Cecil's top priority until he knows how to bring him to justice.]]
## [[spoiler: Nolan has made it clear to Darkblood that he knows about the investigation and he will kill him if he goes anywhere near his family again. Since Nolan also warned Cecil about Darkblood, then more problems will be on the way if Darkblood sticks around.]]
* LeanAndMean: Heroic shade of this trope.
* MenInBlack: Mark, the son of a superhero, had never heard of them until they brought him and his mother to their base. Donald Ferguson tells him that's the point and it's implied that they deal with a number of threats daily that the public has no clue about.
* PetTheDog: In episode 6, after Invincible apologizes for mangling Sinclair's jaw in a rage, Cecil gently tells him that he doesn't have to and that he probably would've done the same thing in his position.
* TeleportSpam: His personal teleporter device can be used in this manner. He also showcases impressive reflexes when using it since without them [[spoiler: Omni-Man would've reduced him to a fine paste immediately and even then he only barely missed.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: In Episode 7, Cecil makes it clear that [[spoiler:Omni-man's murder of the Guardians]] isn't just a slight against him on a professional level, but a ''personal'' one. He shows a rare righteous anger toward [[spoiler:Nolan]] and even says that [[spoiler:Debbie and him both have being hurt by Nolan's betrayal in common]].

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_donald.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/ChrisDiamantopoulos

A GDA high ranking agent who serves directly under Cecil Stedman.
----
* ApologeticAttacker: Rather, apologetic and secret protector. [[spoiler:He reveals that he sent armed soldiers to the house, ready to fire on Nolan if he tried to attack Debbie, and evacuates her, along with the rest of the neighborhood, to a secure location. Donald apologizes for the intrusion, orders his people to stand down once Nolan is gone, and stays to monitor Nolan's response if and when he returns]].
* CowardlyLion: Omni-Man calls him a coward yet [[spoiler:his final moments are spent distracting him long enough to let his fellow agents escape by shooting him on the face, dodging some of his attacks and finally, blowing himself up.]]
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: When [[spoiler:Nolan busts them for spying on him, Donald grabs a BFG and shouts at his subordinates to ''run'', and that's an order! He then manages to hold off Nolan briefly to buy them time, and hits the self-destruct button despite Omni-Man breaking his spine. Not only did he go out on his terms, but also ensured that Omni-Man wouldn't go after his crew]].
* {{Expy}}: He's the ComicBook/MariaHill and Phil Coulson to Stedman's Nick Fury.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: After being [[spoiler:mortally wounded by Omni-man (via said Viltrumite digging his fingers into his back and grabbing his spinal cord), he says these as his last words before initiating an instant self-destruct inside of the house to stall Omni-man. Cecil shares these sentiments and clearly grieves for him.]]
* NumberTwo: He acts as Cecil's right-hand man overseeing various operations such as the [[spoiler: forensic investigation for the Guardians' murder, surveillance of the Graysons, and the status of a {{Kaiju}} that Omni-Man defeated.]]
* OpaqueLenses: His glasses have these.
* SenselessSacrifice: Zigzagged. [[spoiler:While blowing the house he was in up, doesn't really do anything to faze Nolan. The fact the Omni-man in the first place was already out for blood and willing to murder him, doesn't really mean he'll come out of the fight alive anyhow. At least he went out in his terms.]]

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/SethRogen

Initially believed by Mark to be some recurring threat he is sent to fight, Allen is an evaluation officer for the [[TheFederation Coalition of Planets]] whose job is to assess the security of member worlds.
----
* AllPlanetsAreEarthLike: And have similar-sounding names apparently. [[AliensSpeakingEnglish With the English alphabet.]] Allen came to Earth because "Urath" asked for an evaluation of their defenses, confusing the two planets. Not helped by the fact that Urath has very similarly shaped continents to Earth, if the tablet was anything to go by.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: After getting into a brief fight with Mark, he eventually learns that he's gone to the wrong planet. He was supposed to be inspecting Urath and leaves since he might be fired over this blunder.
* PoorCommunicationKills: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]], as Mark is given no explanation of who Allen is or why he's coming to Earth. Doing so actually allows him to honestly tell the alien he [Mark] doesn't know what's going on, using his "time out" to get an explanation and clear up the confusion.
* {{Telepathy}}: One of his powers as part of his ComboPlatterPowers, he uses it to "speak" to Mark while they're fighting in space.

!!Mauler Twins
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_mauler_twins.PNG]]
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson

Blue-skinned hyper-powerful superhumans, and long-time adversaries to the Guardians. Both proclaim to be the original while stating the other is a clone.
----
* AffablyEvil: They're not outright malicious for the most part, with one of the Twins apologizing to the guard giving them their food before knocking him out and using his hand to escape. [[spoiler:Even willing to work with and doing their best when they are hired by Robot to make him a new body. Outright adjusting their BrainUploading machine when it's clear that it has the possibility of killing his original body before the procedure could succeed.]]
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Both have blue skin for unknown reasons, it's unknown if it's because of the fact that they're clones or it came alongside their powers.
* AmbiguousCloneEnding: It was never made clear if the original died by the time of the escape or even '''way''' before that. In fact it's hard to tell if both of the current and past Mauler's are clones.
* BrainUploading: The cloning process creates a new body with no mind. The surviving twin copies his mind into the body, with another device. They have to completely copy the mind in order to not let the recent clone know that ''they'' are said clone.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: The white portions of their costumes form a subtle "M" shape on the front of their bodies, and the black portions of their costumes form a subtle "T" shape on the back of their bodies.
* ChainsawGripBFG: They both carry around what appears to be miniguns when assaulting the White House.
* CloningBlues: Pun aside, they both argue over who is the clone and who is the original. Neither one knows for certain. When explaining this to [[spoiler:to the Robot's new clone body]], one of the twins states that they actually purposefully rig their brain uploading tech so that neither one remembers who started the cloning process, otherwise things would get ugly.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: They lack any form of footwear, but considering the size of their feet and strong build, they don't have much of a need for shoes.
* ExpendableClone: One of them treats the other this way, using his body as a shield, and claiming he can just make another one. Then again it's ambiguous whether he's the original or the clone or even how many times this has happened.
* EyeScream: One of the Mauler's get a bullet in his eye thanks to taunting Steve at point blank range. He spends the rest of the fight with the Guardians having that eye closed and bleeding.
* GeniusBruiser: They both have super strength and toughness but are also skilled biologists and engineers, being able to create not only a cloning device but also a BrainUploading device. Which is why [[spoiler:Robot breaks them out and collaborates with them to give himself a new clone body.]]
* HiddenDepths: They are shown to have some knowledge of ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'', even citing differences between the novel and the movie adaptations.
* IgnoranceIsBliss: They purposefully live like this regarding their clone status, the Maulers rig the cloning process in order for them to never know who in fact is the clone, with both of them playfully playing up this ongoing rivalry of accusing the other of being a copy; all of this to protect their sanity and to generate a feeling of simultaneous validation, they are both equally replaceable and irreplaceable, as long as one of them live there's always a possibility of the twins being perpetual.
* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: One of the Maulers runs around wearing a labcoat in later episodes, most likely to differentiate himself from the other.
* LaughablyEvil: Their overall banter of which one is the real clone is this, and in general are quite casual and snarky.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Most of the time they are accompanied with songs by ''Music/RunTheJewels''.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Or the cloning equivalent of it. According to them, the constant bickering that comes from their cloning process is preferable to having them be aware of who is or isn't the original.
* OhCrap: The two are understandably very scared when [[spoiler:the newly ressurected The Immortal is not only insanely pissed off, but straight up destroyed the mind-control collar in a fit of rage, while screaming at them where's Omni-man. Only has them backing away with their hands up.]]
* PetTheDog: When they [[spoiler: clone Robot a new body, they warn him that the process would both be painful and only copy his consciousness, not transfer it. They also do their best to save him when a complication arises from his abnormal brain structure. They also show understanding when the clone of Robot realizes the full ramifications of their mind-transferal technology, with one of them even tearing up when the two Rudolph's say goodbye to one another]].
* RunningGag: The twins have constant banter over whom is the original. But due to both of them being completely identical clones, that usually leaves them confused over who was cloned from whom. In fact, it's the only thing that keeps them working harmoniously together.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: They dig up the Immortal's body, reattach his head, put a mind control collar on him and revive the hero with the intent of siccing him on the new Guardians of the Globe. Not only does the Immortal smash their device, he flies off in a rage to get revenge on Omni-Man. This results in a fight where Omni-Man bisects him on live TV and in front of his son, showing Omni-Man's true nature to the world.]]
* SuperStrength: They're at least strong enough to be able to chuck tanks.
* SuperToughness: They are also both extremely durable. They can survive being shot in the face and have to use a drill to get past their tough skin to draw blood.
* ThoseTwoGuys: They're technically the same person, but no matter how hard they banter. The two are usually inseparable, [[spoiler:although it doesn't mean they don't consider each other [[ExpendableClone expendable]]]].

A supervillain who can create powerful disruption waves that cause earth-shattering damage.
----
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:He happily stops Invincible from saving him from falling in lava and [[TakingYouWithMe even tries to kill him as well]], only failing due to Atom Eve.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a little loopy thanks to the constant concussions his gloves give him. Doesn't mean he's a pushover as his fight with Atom and Invincible shows that he can handle his own very well.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: The show adds the detail that he's a feminist who took courses in women's studies when getting his undergraduate degree.
* FamousLastWords:
--> '''Doc Seismic''': Ah god damn it, I should've spent more time on the jetpack-!!! ''[Falls to his death]''
* HiddenDepths: This version shows that he's a bit of a feminist. He also minored in African dance.
* LaughablyEvil: He's a little bit on the silly side,.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Has a Ph. D in seismology, which he used to create gauntlets that can make earthquakes which he uses for eeeeeeevil.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Used as a joke in his first episode that he specialized in many fields, although in humanities rather than hard sciences.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: Rails against the founding fathers for being oppressors and studied feminist theory. Still a bad guy.

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/MahershalaAli

A criminal enforcer who generates a stone skin armor at will. A masked Mark first meets him before attaining his name Invincible.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: The show adds more layers to his moral compass and gives him a family to make his actions more understandable, while in the comics [[spoiler:his plan to take over Machine Head’s place was more of a lone belief to make things better]].
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While most of his initial arc remains the same [[spoiler:with him tricking Invincible into helping him take down his boss Machine Head just to take his place, they add more nuance to his character, showing that he was truly stuck as Machine Head's henchmen first due to repaying a debt and then under threat against his family, with him taking over simply to look out for "his own," and implying he intends to be a less ruthless crime lord than Machine Head. His entire opening scenes of the episode show that, while he's still capable of brutal murder, he's not without mercy and does feel somewhat bad about the things he was forced to do as Machine Head's enforcer.]]
* AffablyEvil: His next appearance shows him actively sparing people's lives while pulling out jobs.
* AntiVillain: He does bad things for his family, and avoids killing people when he doesn't have to.
* BadassBaritone: Creator/MahershalaAli, baby.
* BadassInANiceSuit: [[spoiler: Wears a black suit after taking over Machine Heads' empire.]]
* ClothingDamage: While his armor is very tough and it can take quite the beating [[RealityEnsues his clothes don't]]. Whenver he goes to work he usually makes sure to take off his grey hoodie, although due to still needing pants he keeps those on himself. By the time his job is done it's usually peppered by bullet holes.
* DoWellButNotPerfect: He worked his ass off to pay off his debt to Machine Head as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, that made him Machine Head's top earner and far too valuable to let go. Machine Head threatens Titan's family to keep him working.
* ElementalArmor: His main superpower is to cover himself in a protective layer of stone.
* EnemyMine: He asks for Invincible's help to take down Machine Head.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He has a wife and daughter that he cares for very much and seeks to make their lives better.
* {{Expy}}: While in the comic he was mostly a version of Spider-Man foe Tombstone, in the show he comes across as a more morally gray Luke Cage.
* InTheHood: Dons a grey zip-up hoodie to help keep himself incognito.
* KlingonPromotion: Zig-Zagged. [[spoiler: He manipulated Mark to attempt to kill Machine Head in order to take his place and, while Machine Head was just captured in the end, Titan assumed the position as the new crime lord around as soon as Machine Head was out of the picture either way.]]
* PetTheDog: He is shown to be merciful to a few innocent civilians while carrying out Machine Head's orders. When he burns down an apartment people stayed in, he gives them enough cash to find somewhere else to live, and he allows one guy another 48 hours to repay what he owes instead of killing him like he was ordered after seeing a photo of his daughter. He also seemed genuinely apologetic when Mark was greatly injured while helping him, saying he wished it didn't turn out like that.
* PunchClockVillain: He's only doing criminal activity to support his family financially, and is shown to frequently spare people caught in the crossfire of his work. Or even targets and security guards.
* StarterVillain: The first villain Mark faces.
* TheStoic: He only ''slightly'' loses his cool after a kid he spares shoots him in the face, but still commits to mercy with a stern "Go!".
* SuperStrength: Not on Invincible's level, but still enough to toss a fork lifter and cave in people's skulls with thrown objects.
* SuperToughness: His stone skin is thick enough to protect him from gun fire, but concentrated shots or higher caliber bullets will destroy some parts of it and make him take cover.
* TrappedInVillainy: Machine Head considers him to be too good of an asset to be allowed to quit, and threatens his family to keep him working under him. As a result, Titan starts an alliance with Invincible to take him down.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Whenever he armors up, though mostly to prevent his hoodie from getting messed up.
* TheWorfEffect: Episode 5 spent most of it's opening showcasing how dangerous and powerful Titan is around regular humans and run of the mill gangsters. However, when Machine Head sics his hired supervillains on him and Mark he is very quickly taken out without providing much to the fight.

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/JeffreyDonovan
A crime lord that has a machine for a head.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In paper only, the show has Machine Head state his new implant gives him quantum seer powers, [[PrescienceByAnalysis which through complex probability calculations he can predict a certain future]], which was Titan and Invincible going after his neck, in the comics he was just coasting on being prepared for any attack in his office after Titan was giving off signs of betrayal.
* {{Cyborg}}: He has a machine for a head.
* DullSurprise: When Invincible and Titan burst into his office, he simply says a bored "Hello Invincible, Titan".
* ElectronicSpeechImpediment: His voice has a very slight autotuning effect on it.
* EvilIsHammy: Tends to get loud and cheesy, especially when his Italian furniture is destroyed.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He's called Machine Head... for exactly the reason you think he is.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Black Mask]], a fellow sharply dressed crime lord whose face is concealed by a unique mask, though in Machine Head's case, said mask ''is'' his face.
* IHaveYourWife: Claims to know where Titan's family lives, which is why Titan can't leave him.
* PragmaticVillainy: One of the reasons he doesn't let Titan off the hook after he pays off his debt. Good help is hard to come by and Titan is too useful to simply let go, where a potential competitor could recruit him or worse, he becomes a hero and thus, a thorn in Machine Head's side.
* PrescienceByAnalysis: The chip Titan steals for him grants Machine Head the ability to predict the future through sheer quantum computing power, enabling him to anticipate Titan's betrayal and prepare accordingly.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: He sports this mentality against superheroes.
--> '''Machine Head''': Invincible's right, I'm out of my league. Except I've got money!
* VillainHasAPoint: Though he delivers it in a condescending manner, Machine Head isn't entirely wrong when he points out that Titan's powers are ill-suited for normal life and that he puts them to better use as his enforcer. He's also right that Titan's status as his enfourcer will make getting a normal job almost impossible.

* {{Teleportation}}: His main ability.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Unlike some of the cast who look different than their comics version due to ethnicity changes, Isotope looks completely different while still being a white dude.

A mad scientist in college, abducting people to turn into cyborgs called "Reanimen" due to an obsession with "improving" humanity.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: The two-piece suit he wears in the comics is black, where in the show, it's colored mauve.

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Has pale skin and jet black hair, and is also a deranged mad scientist.
* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: He lobotomizes and put chips in the brains of the Reanimen to take away their free will.
* ForScience: He is completely self-absorbed in his Reanimen project, seeing it as an actual benefit to humanity as a whole, incapable of perceiving any wrong with abducting people, mutilating and brainwashing them as horrific cyborgs.
* InsufferableGenius: He is known for thinking he's smarter than everyone else and calls everyone in the college idiots.
* {{Jerkass}}: Is straight up called a jerk by Amber and to say nothing of how he makes his Reanimen
* LaserGuidedKarma: While he doesn't suffer the same fate he puts through his Reanimen, Mark and William do give him a good idea of how his test subjects feel when they get mangled by him. Via a beat down and a very broken jaw courtesy of a very pissed off human and half-Viltrumite. By the second time he appears he's still healing and looks pretty ridiculous while he's at it.
* MadDoctor: He kidnaps people and replaces their limbs and organs with machines.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: He has the same name as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_A._Sinclair David A. Sinclair]], an Australian scientist who has done research on aging and regeneration. Just like ''Invincible's'' Sinclair he believes aging can be overcome.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Genuinely sees nothing wrong with UnwillingRoboticisation and forced augmentation, believing that it's the future of humanity, and that he's doing people a favor.
* PsychopathicManChild: Basically throws a tantrum after seeing Omni-man destroy his second iteration of Reanimen.
* RecruitingTheCriminal: [[spoiler: He may have been recruited by the [=GDA=] for his cutting edge work in cybernetics (largely due to the emergency situation created by Omni-Man), but Cecil makes it very clear that he's on a ''very'' short leash.]]
* SharpDressedMan: He wears a mauve two-piece suit and tie which especially makes him stand out amongst the other more casually dressed college students. His choice to dress in a more formal manner than his fellow students also symbolizes how he views them all as being beneath him.

* HijackingCthulhu: Cecil kept her alive and teleported her to fight Omni-Man. They also juice her up on painkillers so she would keep fighting.
* {{Kaiju}}: Is called one in the show, and is a ginormous monster.

[[folder:The Flaxans]]
!!The Flaxans
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_flaxans.PNG]]
A warrior race from another dimension who use their technology to capture slaves from other dimensions.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, they mostly just showed up every once in a while to fulfill the typical "alien invasion" plot common to most comic books. Here, they very nearly take out the entirety of the Teen Team on their ''second'' invasion attempt, and by the third, they've just straight up found a way to nullify the temporal effects of interdimensional travel and are only beaten by timely interference by Omni-Man.
* AllThereInTheManual: The Flaxan Commander is named Slash due to his scar according to the X-Ray available when the video is paused when the Commander is on-screen.
* CanonForeigner: The Commander is original to the animated series to give the invading army more of a personality.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Its implied the reason the Commander kept leading his army back to Earth after decades is because of the wound Invincible gave him in their first battle. [[NeverMyFault A wound he got for trying to shoot an unarmed old woman]][[ForTheEvulz ...for kicks]].
* EvilEvolves: Thanks to the YearInsideHourOutside rules of their home dimension, they have decades to improve their technology and conquer whatever weakness defeated them the previous time, until they're eventually impossible for the Teen Team to defeat.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Their commander. Courtesy of Creator/DjimonHounsou.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: One of them gets a nasty scar on his face from getting punched by Invincible.
* RapidAging: Their weakness whenever they try to invade. They at least found a way to circumvent it.
* ItsPersonal: We don't know what he's saying, but it's clear through the commander's expressions and actions that he has a grudge against Invincible for scarring him.
* PoweredArmor: On their third attack, the Commander dons a large power suit that lets him beat down Invincible. [[spoiler: It doesn't do much for him against Omni-Man though.]]
* PrepareToDie: The one word Slash ever says in english while pummeling Mark:
-->"''Die''".
* SociopathicSoldier: They have no issue immediately gunning down human civilians every time they appear. Slash in particular ''really'' likes killing people.
* TheUnintelligible: They speak a language no one understands. Robot later figures out their language from recordings.

* {{Expy}}: Of Starro the Conqueror.
* PuppeteerParasite: Able to take control of any organism unless the organism can shapeshift (like the Martians). Viltrumites also seems to be immune.

A lion-like alien that was employed by Machine Head who wanted to seek worthy combatants.
----
* BloodKnight: Absolutely adores fighting and wants to find worthy opponents.
* {{Bloodlust}}: He licks Invincible's blood off of his face after he opens his arms out and let's the hero's blood splattered against him from the impact of Battle Beasts' mace.
* BossInMooksClothing: He is given no special introduction like the rest of Machine Head's mooks. It's only until he beats the hell out of Invincible and most of the new Guardians that the ''massive'' power gap is made apparent.
* BraidsOfBarbarism: Has twin braids and is ''very'' barbaric.
* CarryABigStick: Carries a mace, which he puts to good use on Invincible's stomach.
* CatsAreMean: He's a lion-like alien and a ruthless bloodthirsty combatant.
* CurbStompBattle: Does this to Invincible and the ''entire'' Guardians of the Globe.
* GreatWhiteFeline: Is a white lion-like alien and is the most formidable foe Invincible faced so far.
* TheJuggernaut: He beats the hell out of Invincible and the new Guardians without even a scratch. They survived only because he left, calling their fight a disappointment.
* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: After crushing most of the heavy hitters of the Guardians of the Globe, he decides to leave as he feels they're too easy to fight.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: What his fight with the Invincible and the Guardians amounted to. Invincible, Monster Girl, and Black Samson got the ''gruesome'' worst of it and end up hospitalized.
* NoSell: The heroes' attacks only barely scratch him.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His suit is mostly black with red gloves.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Battle Beast is an Omni-Man level alien warrior that was hired as security for Machine Head. He annihilated Mark, then nearly killed Monster Girl and Black Samson all the while tanking through ''every'' attack thrown his way. He trounced the Guardians so easily that he just left as he felt they were unworthy.

----
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: In the comic, William is gay, but he was in the closet for a long time in real life years - to the point Mark didn't even know until Will entered a relationship, and then opened up to Mark and revealed he was always attracted to him. In the animated show, he's openly gay from the first episode, and doesn't seem to be attracted to Mark.

----
* AdaptationDyeJob: She has blonde hair in the comics. In the show, her hair is black.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Was much more delicate and submissive in the comics.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's got an incredibly dry wit.
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/GwenStacy, although only when it comes to her role as a LoveInterest. They're both the first love interest of the protagonist, both have an attiude, but Mark later goes to the red-headed heroine. This is less noticeable in the adaptation due to Amber's RaceLift, as she heavily resembles Gwen in the original comic, not to mention of Amber not dying.
* InkSuitActor: She's drawn to look like Zazie Beetz.
* RaceLift: Amber is a blonde, white girl in the comics. She is black in the show.
* SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Deconstructed. She secretly figured out Mark's identity as Invincible fairly early on but is more hurt by the fact that he never trusted her enough to reveal it to her himself, which was the real reason why she broke up with him]].
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Mark attracts her attention by coming to her aid against a bully's advances. She doesn't even mind that he got beat up, in fact, it's what draws her to him. [[spoiler:Conversely, it's his lack of honesty with her regarding his identity as Invincible that ends up leading her to break up with him]].

A [[{{Jerkass}} jerk]] and [[TheBully bully]] who attends the same high school as Mark, Amber, and Eve.
----
* {{Blackmail}}: Todd's third appearance is to apologize to Mark: not because he felt bad or anything, but because Amber threatened him with old photos of him that she'd delete if he apologized. To top it with a cherry, [[LaserGuidedKarma it's implied she made]] ''[[CasanovaWannabe him]]'' [[LaserGuidedKarma give Mark her number as coup de grace]].
* TheBully: He's introduced hassling Amber for a date despite her clear disinterest and twice punches Mark for standing up for his classmate. The second time he ties to hurt Mark is after the gets his powers and NoSell his hits, freaking him out.
* BullyBrutality: Both times he attacked Mark was in a school hallway, in full view of witnesses, [[AdultsAreUseless yet no teachers appeared or reprimanded him afterwards]] and [[BystanderSyndrome no student apparently reported it]]. Luckily the second, more brutal beating comes after Mark has his powers and [[NoSell no sells]] his hits rightfully freaking him out.
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: He represents the classic depiction of Spider-Man's high-school bully Flash Thompson, except lacking his more redeeming traits and actually attacking Mark twice, something that Flash never did sans the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel and movie versions.

----
* AdaptationalJerkass: As much of a bizarre caricature of a overzealous father that occasionally said some really misogynistic things that Adam is, he didn’t try to make Eve go back to Rex once she broke-up with him after he cheated, in fact Adam in the comics didn’t like the fact Eve started dating Rex behind his back in the first place.
* BumblingDad: He is quite sexist and it's clear that his daughter doesn't respect him one bit.
* CurseCutShort: He just barely stops himself short of calling his own daughter a "bitch" because she won't forgive Rex for cheating on her.
* FantasyForbiddingFather: He greatly objects to Eve being a superhero.
* FatBastard: He is chubby and a sexist idiot.
* HateSink: He is sexist, controlling, and overall disrespectful towards his daughter. He claims she should forgive her ex-boyfriend for cheating on her and then says learning that she has powers was the worst day of her life, the latter of which brings her to tears.
* ImAManICantHelpIt: Claims this is the case, which is why Eve should forgive Rex for cheating on her.
* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Likely believes this, as he doesn't want his daughter to be a superhero, and says she needs to be protected by a man, even though her ex, Rex Splode is arguably less powerful than her.
* StayInTheKitchen: He believes that women need to be protected, and was upset to learn that Eve broke up with Rex Splode, even though she is more than capable of protecting herself.

I honestly cannot say whether treating someone who performed often-fatal human experimentation on kidnapped college kids with the appropriate contempt when circumstances force him to work with the bastard, makes him an Adaptional Nice Guy or an Adaptional Jerkass, but it certainly deserves a mention.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the comic, it's a bit of a running gag just how useless Ray is. In fact, he frequently misses the fight completely. Rae, on the other hand, is very efficient at using her powers in a fight, doing things like shrinking while she has her opponent in a headlock. Which is a lot more dangerous than it sounds.

Alright, I'm fixing this. Expy means "it's the same character but with a difference", and I'm afraid Debbie doesn't count as a Lois Lane expy because they share nothing in common; Green Ghost has too many entries, meaning she is not an expy of one character (like Invincible, who is not Peter Parker nor Superboy, But if Peter Parker was Superboy, kinda; Robot is a Zero Context Example, and it doesn't explain why he's an expy of Vision or the other character; Monster Girl is another X meets Y example, so she is not an expy;Damien Darkblood is clearly a parody of many characters, but is not an expy. I'm hiding him for the time being, as the entry is technically correct; I think William's entry is a shoehorned, as it doesn't talk on why he's an expy beyond "he's the best gay friend of the pro", which doesn't really apply to the comic book version either, so they only share the trope; I'm familiar with Amber, so I can add context myself; Art entry is a shoehorn, as other than the role, he has nothing in common with Edna Mode. Might as well say that any mentor character is an Obi Wan clone. That's all for now, cleaning up the entry a bit.
