!!Invincible (Markus Sebastian "Mark" Grayson)
[[quoteright:223:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/i2.png]]

->''"Yeah... I can fly."''

The titular Invincible. A young man new to the superhero scene, but nonetheless [[JumpedAtTheCall enthusiastic about doing good in the world]].
----
* AchillesInHisTent: He stayed out of super-heroics following [[spoiler:Robot's takeover on the grounds that he's a father now and his responsibility is to his daughter]]. This ends when Thragg demonstrates that he's going to come for him anyway, killing [[spoiler: Oliver]], trying to kill [[spoiler: Terra]], and practically killing Eve and Mark -- who're only saved by Eve's emergency organic manipulation abilities.
* ActionDad: [[spoiler:To his daughter by Eve, Terra.]]
* ArchEnemy: Considers Angstrom Levy to be his.
* BadassMustache: Does not have one, despite his [[HalfHumanHybrid Viltrumite heritage]], though he can and does grow one as part of a BadassBeard as part of months in a coma. [[spoiler:Becomes a DefiedTrope at the end of the series, due to Mark believing the moustaches represent the old ways of the Viltrumites.]]
** Several of Mark's evil alternates have Viltrumite-style moustaches.
* BaddieFlattery: Does this a bit.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: See BerserkButton above and NoHoldsBarredBeatdown below.
* BloodLust: Constantly has to deal with this in later issues [[spoiler:due to his Viltrumite DNA.]]
* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:He and Eve are torn apart in the ambush that killed Oliver. When Eve's powers kick in and revive him, she also used the opportunity to increase his power so he can better fight Thragg.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Mark starts out full of idealism and WrongGenreSavvy -- he thinks he's in a simple world of right and wrong. [[spoiler:As the series has gone on, numerous personal catastrophes and GrayAndGreyMorality choices are forced on him. Nevertheless, he ultimately maintains a strong sense of right and wrong, and by the end of the series he manages to bring peace to both the Earth and a large segment of the galaxy as Emperor of the Viltrumite Empire, emphasizing the new main quality of the Empire -- mercy.]]
* ClassicalAntiHero: In later issues, Mark finds himself frequently making mistakes which cost the lives of millions of people all over the world, and as such becomes plagued with self-doubt over his own sense of judgement and morality.
* ChubbyChaser: When he sees the recently plumped-up [[spoiler:Eve put on her costume again,]] he's quite pleased.
* ClarkKenting: His mask has a pair of goggles but lets the bottom half of his face bare and it even lets his hair out, not to mention it gets torn often. [[SubvertedTrope Most people]] [[RealityEnsues see right through it.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Either gives these out or is on the receiving end of one. [[spoiler:Notable ones on which he is on the business include [[FaceHeelTurn his father Omni-Man]], [[NighInvulnerable Conquest]]... [[HowMuchMoreCanHeTake and basically the entire Viltrumite War storyline]].]]
* DadTheVeteran: His father Nolan is Omni-Man, the world's premier superhero and [[spoiler:a high ranking soldier in the Viltrumite Empire's army.]] [[spoiler:He's since become this to his own children.]]
* DisappointedByTheMotive: [[spoiler:Although Thragg can't hear him, he gives an awesome ReasonYouSuckSpeech to him about how pathetic he is for fighting over petty vengeance over not being the Grand Regent anymore.]]
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: [[spoiler:Averted. His rape by Anissa is so traumatizing that he's unable to bring it up to his father and, until he confesses what happened to Eve, he's unwilling to be intimate with her -- and even then, it takes a little time.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: '''Yes.''' Despite starting as an optimistic hero, Mark had to face the darkest events anyone could ever hope to, including the death of friends, his ideals being proven wrong, being raped, [[spoiler: losing many years with his daughter, and then the death of his brother and father, he had a happy ending with Eve as the king of the redeemed Viltrumites, whose powers avert the problem with the Viltrumites being long-living.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/{{Superboy}} with [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Peter Parker's]] personality.
* FailureHero: Closer inspection of his actions and their consequences in the story reveal Invincible to be this. He often makes reckless decisions and ends up paying for them later, costing the lives of millions of innocent people and making himself more disliked than he already was. [[spoiler:Examples include his interference with Levy Angstrom's experiment which turned the man to supervillainy and eventual genocide via alternate reality Invincible clones, blindly making deals with Cecil Stedman, rescuing Dinosaurus in attempt to use his evil intellect for good which caused millions to drown from melted ice caps after it didn't work it, making deals with Thragg to have him and remaining Viltrumites live on Earth, frequently changing his kill and no-kill stances, and eventually deciding to not even try to stop his hero-turned-tyrant comrade Robot from taking over the Earth. Even when he tries to leave Earth for a quiet life with his family, his bad decisions once again catch up with him when Thragg tries to have him and his family killed]]. Ultimately, however, he averts this once he becomes OlderAndWiser, as [[spoiler: new Emperor of the Viltrumite Empire]].
* FingerlessGloves: A design choice that goes on and off his different costumes. When he finally puts it back on his costume again. Eve wonders why he even went back to it but Mark replies that he though it was [[RuleOfCool cool and unique]].
* FlyingBrick: His powerset. [[RunningGag He has to constantly remind people that he doesn't have super senses, though]].
* GoodIsNotDumb: He has tried to come up with non-violent solutions to problems before resorting to punching. It's also implied early on that he is (at least) a decent student.
* TheGoodKing:[[spoiler:Eventually becomes the Viltrumite emperor and (as the final issues of the series shows) he is EXTREMELY good at it. When he faces a rebellion, he puts them down, but also picks them back up and helps them become better than ever, to tremendous success. He breaks away from self-destructive traditions and shows his people a better way, which leads to the Empire becoming celebrated all across the universe.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: Half human, half Viltrumite; although truth to form, Mark has much more Viltrumite in him than human, not only are Viltrumite genes dominant over any other species, they are a great match to human DNA, with human/Viltrumite hybrids ending up just a step away from being a pure blood Viltrumite.
* HappilyMarried: To Atom Eve, [[spoiler:500 years later, they're still this.]]
* HeroesWantRedheads: Has this with Atom Eve.
* HeroicBuild: [[spoiler:Eventually by the epilogue of the series, where Mark is likely on his fifties and then hundreds, he becomes as muscular as any veteran Viltrumite, like his father was]].
* KnightInSourArmor: As the series wears on and he continuously is beaten upon with the harsh realities of the universe's cruelty, he never quite stops being a hero but certainly stops playing nice when shit hits the fan yet again. When he [[spoiler:sees Thragg morally wound Oliver and responds by decapitating Thragg's son]], his words say it all:
-->'''Invincible''': [[spoiler:Being a hero is bullshit.]]
* LightningBruiser: Shares this trope with his father and the rest of the [[spoiler:Viltrumites.]] He is stronger, faster, and tougher than most people on Earth.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Adopts this line of thought once the extremely dangerous and completely unreasonable foes start appearing, with them killing or attempting to kill everyone he loves; although before Mark loses sight of himself he pulls the brakes a little, only considering killing as a last resort, trying to reach a common understanding with foes who are open to dialogue. [[spoiler:At the end of the series, as the Viltrumite emperor it seems Mark and his people have stopped killing altogether, with mercy being being pursued at every turn, since their collective strength is enough to make aggressors think twice]].
* PapaWolf: Towards [[spoiler:Terra.]]
* PowerOfFriendship: In the [[spoiler:final battle against Thragg, Robot decides to help his old friend one last time and sends Mark his exoskeleton. This protects Invincible from the heat of the sun for a valuable few minutes while Thragg continues to burn.]]
* PrecisionFStrike: Sums up being [[spoiler:left in an alternate universe by Robot after Angstrom Levy is killed, his alternate self (the emperor of that Earth) is brutally murdered in front of him, and Robot announces his intentions of conquering the main Earth.]]
-->'''Invincible''': Holy fuck.
* Really700YearsOld: [[spoiler:In the final pages of the series’ epilogue Mark is in his five hundreds, with his appearance settling at a very muscular and well preserved man in his forties]].
* RetiredBadass: [[spoiler:After his daughter is born]].
* RightfulKingReturns: [[spoiler:Mark is the grandson of Argall, the former Viltrumite king before his assassination and the civil war that led to Thragg taking over. At the end of the comic, Mark becomes the new Emperor of the Viltrumites.]]
* SupermanSubstitute: He's more or less a {{reconstruction}} of the trope.
* TotallyRadical: [[spoiler:After finding out Eve is technically immortal.]]
-->'''Invincible''': Rad.
* UnevenHybrid: Due the absurd dominance of Viltrumite genes over any known species, and how greatly it matches with humanity, Mark is actually more of a Viltrumite than human, he nor any human/Viltrumite hybrid are even, they will always be almost entirely Viltrumite.
* UseYourHead: He uses this tactic a ton. '''Especially''' when he's pissed off.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:After seeing Thragg mortally wound his brother, Mark decapitates Thragg's son right in front of him.]]
* YouAreInCommandNow: [[spoiler:When his father dies in Issue 141, Mark becomes the leader of his people]].

!!Omni-Man (Nolan Grayson)
[[quoteright:236:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/i1.png]]

[[caption-width-right:236:[[labelnote:Click here to see his Post-Reboot? Appearance]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_193.png[[/labelnote]]]]

Mark's father, and an alien from the planet Viltrum. Was once a secret advance scout for a Viltrumite invasion, but has since become a completely changed man.
----
* AFatherToHisMen: After becoming [[spoiler:the Viltrumite Emperor]], he is quite protective of his people and helps them remake themselves from the monsters they made themselves into.
* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler:As of Issue 141]].
* AwesomeByAnalysis: [[spoiler:Figured out that Anissa raped Mark.]] All from seeing how they act together.
* BadassMustache: All Viltrumite men have one. It's their most defining trait after their powers.
* {{Expy}}: Starts out as an Expy of Franchise/{{Superman}} (but ten issues in, [[spoiler:his plot becomes BewareTheSuperman]]).
* BelatedLoveEpiphany: [[spoiler: Ironically happens not only after he is married to Debbie for years and has been a father to Mark, but after he nearly kills Mark and openly declares that Debbie means ''nothing'' to him. He later realizes that it was all a lie and that [[BecomingTheMask he had truly fallen in love with Debbie and Mark]] but his ConflictingLoyalty made him say and do awful things.]]
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"You're (Mark) going to lead our people to great heights. You're going to show them your ways...your '''compassion'''...you're going to...you're...'''Mark'''. You changed '''me'''. Change '''them'''."]]
* FlyingBrick: His powerset.
* TheGoodKing: [[spoiler:Once he reclaimed his rightful throne, Nolan became a just ruler, far better than Thragg ever was. He led the Viltrumites away from Thragg's murderous crusade and set them on the path of reforming and rebuilding themselves as something better, which Mark continued and finished when he succeeded him.]]
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He started out as a spy, then fell in love, then relapsed into his role. Then turned traitor, then came back and took over. Then died as a hero.
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: Killed the Guardians of the Globe to ensure that the Viltrumite invasion won't be thwarted by them, the Immortal is the only one who survived due to his regenerative powers.]]
* HumanAliens: He is a Viltrumite, an alien race that closely resembles humans.
* HumanityIsInfectious: When Nolan first confronts Mark about what the Viltrumites really are and what Mark should do now (that is, helping him conquer Earth), he goes to great lengths to tell why humanity is worthless, but even back then small glimpses of Nolan truly coming to care about Mark and Debbie are apparent with him not killing a defiant Mark, going away from Earth in tears. [[spoiler:That paves way for Nolan and Mark’s reconciling later, and then Nolan with Debbie, by the end in his deathbed Nolan tells Mark he has truly changed him, and now he should do the same for the remaining Viltrumites as their emperor]].
* MayflyDecemberRomance: He is thousands of years old and romances Debbie who is a normal human. Taken UpToEleven when he later dates a sentient praying mantis alien who only lives for 9 months.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Nolan's decision to let Thragg live and banish him into space allowed Thragg to find the planet where Nolan once sired Oliver, impregnate scores of females, and birth legions of babies to create a new Evil Viltrumite Empire under his rule. That's not even taking into account that Thragg kills Oliver and attempts to kill him and his family. It culminates in him being mortally injured and nearly ripped in two by Thragg.]]
* NighInvulnerable: He's nearly impossible to harm, much less kill, due to his Viltrumite physiology. However, even he has his limits. [[spoiler:During the Viltrumite War, Thragg punched through his torso and it nearly killed him. Near the end of the comic, it took having nearly his entire torso obliterated and being nearly ripped in two to ultimately kill him, and he still managed to live long enough to outlive Thragg and have one last talk with Mark.]]
* PapaWolf: Goes ballistic whenever he even ''suspects'' that Mark is being hurt. He also held his son while he cried into his shoulder after he figured out [[spoiler:Anissa raped him.]]
* Really700YearsOld: The first character in the series to bring up the fact Viltrumites live for thousands of years, while trying to tell Mark his time on Earth was only a fraction of his life, a meaningless footnote; Nolan already has white hair then, later in the series it is stated Nolan has had many world conquering accolades under his belt before he came to Earth, he is definitely over thousands of years old.
* RoyalBlood: [[spoiler:Nolan is the son of Argall, the previous Viltrumite emperor. His past was hidden from him by Thragg to protect him from Thaedus, his killer. He eventually takes his rightful throne after he rediscovers his heritage and Thragg is exiled.]]
* SupermanSubstitute: At first, anyway.
* WalkingSpoiler: Oh Nolan. [[spoiler:His role as being one of the first major villains in the series first few arcs. Then followed by his HeelFaceTurn later. Most recently his ascension to become Emperor of the Viltrumites.]]
* WorldsStrongestMan: During his time as a superhero, he was described by many, including Cecil, to be the Earth's most powerful superhero and strongest individual. It's not until many years later that Mark is able to match Nolan's strength. Even among the Viltrumites, only Thragg is shown to be stronger.
** An issue of the Erik Larson run of ''ComicBook/{{Supreme}}'' has Omni-Man battle the Creator/RobLiefeld incarnation of the character [[spoiler:and win. Supreme was unable to do any meaningful damage to him and their fight ended in a DoubleKnockout]].

[[folder:Debbie Grayson]]
!!Deborah "Debbie" Grayson
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deborah_grayson.jpg]]

Mark's mom and Nolan's wife. A rather average woman desensitized to the crazy and superpowered world around her.
----
* AlcoholicParent: She becomes this soon after hearing the recordings of Nolan and Mark's fight, realizing she's been married to someone who intended to invade Earth, enslave humanity, and claims he never saw her as more than just a "pet."
* BadassNormal: While not a fighter, she's heavily involved in both her families' adventures.
* DrowningMySorrows: [[spoiler:During Nolan's FaceHeelTurn, he claims that he [[BlatantLies thought of her as nothing]], which drove her to drink. She got better when Oliver came into her life.]]
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:She is heartbroken and distraught by Nolan's FaceHeelTurn. She eventually tries to move on and dates someone else. But upon seeing Nolan her feelings for him bubble up again. Nolan begs for forgiveness from Debbie and swears he will never lie to her again. Debbie tearfully does go back to Nolan.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/LoisLane.
* InterspeciesRomance: She is a human woman who married Nolan, an alien Viltrumite man.
* PromotedToParent: She has experience in being a mother already through her son Mark, but she is later basically forced to take care of Oliver due his biological mother having no way of raising him past 9 months, as that was her entire lifespan, and their planet became a dangerous place; even if reluctant at first she warms up to Oliver and raises him like her own son.
* SeenItAll: She isn't bothered by most of the super heroics around her, especially the early revelation her son has superpowers. Mainly because she was expecting it to happen at some point.
* TeamMom: Of both her family and as a surrogate mom for many superheroes.

!!Kid Omni-Man/Young Omni-Man (Oliver Grayson)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_8600.jpeg]]

Mark's half-brother, Oliver was born to Nolan and Andressa (a mantis-like alien whose species, the Thraxans, have an extremely short lifespan, but learn and develop ''very'' quickly). As such, he is a gifted boy with Viltrumite powers who grew from infancy to adolescence in just a few years.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:During his first fight with Thragg, the mad regent punched his lower jaw off and ripped his left arm off. Oliver surived, but was left out of commision for a while.]]
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Mark, though he grows out of it.
* AntiHero: Initially, he's very willing to kill and doesn’t hold back half as much as his half-brother. Also hates Earth, and would betray the world a 100 times over if it means to protect his family. However, he still has some morals, and is at least willing to give being hero a shot. He grows up to be a much better, more honourable, and balanced man -- though he still prefers living off-Earth.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Played with. Despite only being an infant to toddler for most of his stay on his native world, he picked up a great chunk of the Thraxans unique conceptions of morality that’s colored by their short lifespans. He views death as a natural stage of life and not something to be particularly sad or afraid of inflicting upon others (as they’ll be dead one way or another) and thinks individual life as a whole doesn’t have any particular worth, but still views it valuable enough in greater numbers to be worth fighting for. At same time his Viltrumite heritage and influences from his human family and mentors has engrained in him a deep love for his family and friends, whose lives he puts above just about anyone else’s and would die for them if need be. In essence he sees life as only just as valuable as he personally gives it meaning unless the numbers are high enough, which is usually relegated to those he cares about on a personal level.
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/{{Robin}}, specifically Jason Todd and Damian Wayne.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Subverted. At the end of #127, he seems to be secretly in league with Thragg. It turns out he's actually a double-agent, spying on Thragg for Allen, something that ultimately gets him killed.]]
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"Terra, No!"]]
* HappilyAdopted: Despite Oliver having clear memories of his biological mother Andressa, he warms up to Debbie as his stepmother pretty easily as she ends up raising him, referring to her as his mom no problem.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Thragg kills him by punching through his chest.]]
* InstantExpert: Not of his powers (although he did pick them up way faster than Mark did) but of just about anything else. Thraxans can essentially learn any skill and pick up anything once they try it once, which carried over to Oliver as he blazes through his private tutors lesson plans and was years ahead of what his approximate age group was in about every subject. By the time he’s in his late teens he claims to have learned just about everything there is to know about human knowledge and culture.
* InterspeciesRomance: One of the reasons he had trouble connecting to humans was that he wasn't attracted to them, or even other Viltrumites. He grows up suspecting he's asexual, but after he moves in with Allen on a planet that has LoadsAndLoadsOfRaces he discovers that he's specifically only attracted to [[InsectoidAliens sentient arthropods]] and nothing else will turn him on. He confesses this to Nolan and says it only makes sense given that he was raised by [[BigCreepyCrawlies Thraxans]] and saw his mother as the ideal woman. He later ends up having kids with Haluma, who is basically a giant space shrimp.
* TheMole: [[spoiler:He's working for Thragg, but no one in his family, especially Mark, knows this. It turns out that he's really spying on Thragg for Allen.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:After accidentally infecting Mark with the Scourge virus when trying to poison those hiding on Earth even knowing it could possibly kill a massive amount of the human population.]]
* NonhumanHumanoidHybrid: Half Viltrumite, half Thraxan. Although beyond his unique skin pigmentation (which faded with age) and his accelerated aging you’d be hard pressed to tell thanks to dominant Viltrumite heritage.
* ObviouslyEvil: This was played up pretty strongly when he first started fighting alongside Mark, but whatever plot thread this was leading to seems to have been dropped and he's been pretty normal since then.
* RapidAging: Thraxians are an extremely short lived people with only a 9 month average life span. For Oliver, who is half Thraxan, this means he went from an infant to a full on adult in only a few years. Luckily his Vitrumite lineage massively slows this down the older he gets so not much of a childhood but he'll be in his thirties for a few hundred years.
* SociopathicHero: Early on, he has no problem killing his opponents if he feels it's for the greater good, and also displays a startling lack of empathy or care for any of his actions. He even tried to help Allen spread a virus that would kill all the Viltrumites on Earth while most likely killing all the humans as well on the grounds that the few he cared about wouldn't be on it. In his mind, as long as his loved ones are safe, everyone else could die -- though the MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment makes him really stop and think.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: As a byproduct of his mother's species, he aged extremely rapidly prior to hitting adulthood.

[[folder:Atom Eve]]
!!Atom Eve (Samantha Eve Wilkins)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_573.jpeg]]

->''"You remember? We were changing into our costumes behind the dumpster at school? Remember? You asked, 'How do we fly out of here without being spotted?" I told you that these people never look up. That's just how it is. These people- they're blind to our world- what we do- how we live- the stress- the pressure. They don't want to be in our world."''

A relatively experienced superhero in her own right at the start of the series, and a classmate of Mark's, they become good friends and heroic partners, before eventually getting together.
----
* ActionMom: [[spoiler:To Terra, her daughter by Invincible.]]
* BigBeautifulWoman: [[spoiler:Eventually. That said, during a stressful period in her pregnancy, she loses most of the weight.]]
* ChildProdigy: Subverted. Whilst Sam was born with an inherent understanding of science, able to recite the molecular structure of objects even as a baby, but this superpowered intelligence did not pass over into other subjects. This made school difficult because despite being accepted by a presitigious school she was unable to keep up in any subject unconnected to her molecular powers.
* DesperationAttack: An unusual example. Her powers can't alter living organic matter [[spoiler:unless she's near death, but it mostly just seems to regenerate her and those around her, such as Mark.]]
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Averted. [[spoiler: Seems upset at Mark after he confesses about this happening to him, but shortly after, having had a little think about it and realizing how stupid her previous attitude was, comforts him, tells him to stop blaming himself for not fighting hard enough and says that she's there for him.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson and/or ComicBook/GwenStacy, with a costume similar to [[Characters/GLStarSapphireCorps Carol Ferris as a Star Sapphire]], and her powers are a combination of ComicBook/GreenLantern's and ComicBook/{{Firestorm}}'s.
* FieryRedhead: She's can be short-tempered, impatient, violent, and aggressive and loving and warm within the span of a few pages.
* LeotardOfPower: A pink long-sleeved one.
* LoveMartyr: Atom becomes this for Mark due to the stresses of his superhero life and his reckless personality. Though the trope is deconstructed when it eventually causes her to have a breakdown and attack Mark while flat out yelling at him for ruining their relationship with some new disaster or arch-villain that he keeps getting himself involved in.
* MoralityChain: For Mark. According to Angstrom Levy, many dimensions where Mark turned evil was because she was hurt or killed and he snapped as a result. She often has to engage in kissing/passionate sex and spit platitudes of ''[[IDidWhatIHadToDo You Did What You Had To Do]]'', ''YouDidEverythingYouCould'', ''You Shouldn't Blame Yourself'' and ''It's Not Your Fault'' to mitigate the blame Mark feels for his actions to prevent him from caving into full depression.
* MyGreatestFailure: Revealed in her mini-series. When she was still a young hero starting out, the secret government agency that created her killed her birth father right in front of her, after revealing they had cruelly experimented on her birth mother. This enraged Atom Eve so much it briefly overrode her RestrainingBolt, allowing her to alter living molecules. When she comes back down, she's horrified that she used that brief window to enact revenge on the agency -- instead of ''saving her family''.
* NecessaryDrawback:
** The mental locks placed on Eve made her a more grounded super powered being who must decide carefully on how to use her powers, if not she would be exactly like [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Dr. Manhattan]], automatically becoming the strongest character in the series by far; that limited Eve to only use the best of her abilities, bypassing the lock, only through extreme mental and physical trauma forced on her.
** Her powers draw from matter within her body, but when she's pregnant, that can mean that her powers either take away nutrients from the unborn or use the unborn itself as fuelf for her powers, which means that she can't use her powers during pregnancy without risking wellbeing of the unborn.
* PregnantHostage[=/=]ImperiledInPregnancy: When she was pregnant, she couldn't use her powers against [[spoiler:Robot holding her hostage to get Mark and her during his conquest of the world]] because using power during pregnancy would endanger her unborn child (see "NecessaryDrawback" entry). She had to use her powers anyway to escape, lost [[AnArmAndALeg a leg in the process]] and had to stay in the hospital for while after giving birth (her child, Terra, wasn't harmed in course of the ordeal, though, and was born healthy).
* PersonOfMassDestruction: The scientist who "created" her said mental limits that prevented her from fiddling with organic matter were put on her because if not her immense matter manipulation powers would've made her virtually omnipotent.
* RealityWarper: Has the ability to transmute things into other objects, though mostly limits it to a GreenLanternRing effect because of the toll it takes.
* Really700YearsOld: [[spoiler:In the final pages of the series’ epilogue it is shown Eve cannot die even by natural aging, with that she resets her life cycle to that her younger twenties self, being able to live alongside Mark to his five hundreds and beyond]].
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: She subverts this by realizing that her matter-warping powers would be better used to stop famines than fight bank robbers. She does eventually go back to superheroing because using her powers to try to stop famines, and essentially change the world, takes a serious toll on her body, and the effects tend to be temporary at best. Because of that, this trope is eventually played straight.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: [[spoiler:Whenever she's dead or dying, her powers resurrect her. This even applies to dying of old age -- when she dies in the final issue, she immediately comes back young and revitalized.]]
* SlapSlapKiss: Eve and Mark’s relationship goes through many ups and downs over the course of the series, with both hurting each in several ways, Mark’s many hasty decisions blowing up on his face and forcing him away from being there for Eve; while Eve does not make it easy for Mark to repent for some of the situations it was completely out of his control. [[spoiler:Only by the very final stretch of the series Mark and Eve become a truly solid couple, and one that indeed lives together forever]].
* SwitchedAtBirth: Dr Brandish -- the scientist behind the project funded to experiment on Sam in utero and raise her to be a weapon -- switched her with the Wilkins' dead baby so she'd have a chance to lead a normal life.
* SuperpowerLottery: Immortality from natural death, the ability to create energy weapons, force fields and flight.
* {{Transmutation}}: Atom Eve's power. As long as she knows an object's molecular make up, she can change it into something else. And since she was created with a deep understanding of chemistry and molecular structure, her abilities are only limited by her imagination. She can change living and non-living matter, make atoms obey her will, create new atoms and form complex forms of life out of non-living matter, fly, create force-fields, shape energy to make any object she can visualize, turn intangible by passing her atomic particles through the spaces between the atoms of the object through which she is moving and augment normally unhealthy food such as cakes into nutritious foods. One major downside of her ability is that any unused atoms are absorbed into her body, which are then removed as waste. She has claimed that when she uses her powers a lot she has to "go to the bathroom" six or seven times a day.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: For Mark. She put the smackdown on Anissa, who in the past had [[spoiler:raped Mark]], and even challenged [[FlyingBrick Thragg]] [[TheDreaded of all people]] when she thought he harmed Mark, and did surprisingly well.

* BrattyTeenageDaughter: For a while. She grows out of it and becomes a very responsible lady.
* CuteBruiser: Unlike her father, Terra starts developing her Viltrumite powers at a young age, as it is expected of hybrid Viltrumites who aren't late bloomers; she learns her first steps in flight before she is ten, and clearly has a level of super strength already.
* CheerfulChild: Very happy, and loving child.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: At some point Mark catches her with a boy who either had duplication powers, or was ''very'' frisky. When Mark scolds her, she doesn't exactly see it his way;
--->'''Mark''': That boy was beneath you.
--->'''Terra''': And beside me and on top of me and behind me!
--->'''Mark''': That's not what I meant!
* DaddysGirl: She's noted to be one from the start, but it really shows [[spoiler: in Issue 127 when she instantly forgives Mark for him [[DisappearedDad being absent for the first five years of her life.]] It helps that it was most certainly not out of choice. Not to mention, earlier, she ''asked'' him if he was her father...]]
--> '''Terra (while hugging a crying Mark):''' It's okay, daddy. I still love you.
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:Mark was gone for 5 years of her life. This is because an alien force time travelled him back to when he was younger and made him spend half a decade in present time there. She forgives him, though.]]
* HumanMomNonHumanDad: Her mom is a human with transmutation powers, her dad is half-human, half-Viltrumite.
* MeaningfulName: Terra is named after Earth.
* ShesAllGrownUp: [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/33188c2fef1b3526be4a5f067db8b1b7/tumblr_p459avZyNf1rk0k4co1_1280.png This]] is Terra after 500 years.
* TechnicalPacifist:
** [[spoiler:She joins the galactic equivalent of the Peace Corps, but is not afraid of fighting, just does not like killing. When she is forced to fight, she blocks the opponent's blade, shattering it, with her opponent surrendering.]]
** [[spoiler: She absolutely refuses to join in the War against the Coalition of Planets because even if after decades of galactic peace it had become little more then a way for more advanced planets to exploit smaller less developed planets, her father initiated the war instead of talking it out. Its implied that she hadn't talked to her parents for years because of it.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: 500 years of training and fighting helps her become nearly as strong as her father.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Terra's Viltrumite powers awakened when Onaan tried to kill her by dropping her to the ground from high up in the air.
* UnevenHybrid: The same as her father, despite being born out of a hybrid Viltrumite father and a superpowered human, Terra still has a great amount of Viltrumite genes in her; an alien doctor even only classified her as just Viltrumite once, in the grounds of refusing to treat her as a baby.

Marky is Anissa's son.

* AlliterativeName: Markus Murphy.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Preteen Terra certainly considers him this.
* BastardAngst: Eventually gets this. He is full of self-hatred over being a [[spoiler:ChildByRape]] and envious of Terra being born out of love. He and his dad patch things up, eventually, with his dad assuring him that he doesn't hold it against him.
* ChildByRape: He's the product of [[spoiler:Anissa raping Mark]].
* {{Foil}}: To Terra. Both are Mark's kids born from two women he knows. Terra is the daughter of the human woman he loved and wanted to marry, Marky is the son of a Viltrumite woman [[spoiler:who raped him after he refused to be her mate]]. Terra grew up for a few years without her father due to time travel, Marky was raised by a stepfather and was unaware of his true heritage until [[spoiler:after his mother's death]].
* HistoryRepeats: [[spoiler:At some point, his idolization of his father turns to hatred, leading to them fighting each other -- though he's suggested to be the one who initiated it, and it's much less brutal and destructive. Much like with Mark's own father, it is implied they eventually talk it out]].

!'''Global Defense Agency'''

[[folder:In General]]
!!In General

A secretive government agency that helps organize and coordinate the various super heroes around the world. They are located somewhere deep below the Pentagon. There is [[RunningGag parking in the rear of the building.]]
----
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Cecil Stedman]]
!!Cecil Stedman
[[quoteright:267:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_4992.png]]

Director of the Global Defense Agency working at the Pentagon, Cecil has employed Mark at various times and oversees the Guardians of the Globe.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: For years he has done things that Mark has not agreed with with, and even threatened to kill him. [[spoiler:But even he thought he didn't deserve to die the way he did]].
* BigGood: Theoretically; Mark and others have considered him evil in the past and his actions can be taken as such -- at the very least, he makes a number of ''very'' dubious choices.
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: He has a tendency to make deals with superhumans deemed as incredibly dangerous or immoral because of their expertise that could provide great assistance and aid to his organization and the country. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Unfortunately, this behavior has led him to resurrect Conquest to find more information on the Viltrumites and hide the fact he knew Omni-Man was not loyal to Earth before his infamous betrayal because he wanted to use his services]]. This was a behavior he inherited from his former boss, whom at first Cecil also disagreed with but later came around to his way of thinking. [[spoiler:Both the Immortal and Monster Girl seemingly adopt this policy as well after they are put in charge]].
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Has his head crushed by Robot/Rex during his takeover]].
* {{Expy}}: For the first third of the comic he seems like he's ComicBook/NickFury if he just barely managed to keep his eye. However, by the time of #50 its pretty clear he's actually a lot more similar to [[spoiler:ComicBook/AmandaWaller]].
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Back when he was just an agent, he was horrifically injured and lost several of his men to a supervillain duo. Years later, he learnt that rather than being in custody the Global Defense Agency had given them freedom in exchange for their services. He so strongly disagreed with this that he murdered the villains and went to prison. When he was released and rejoined the Agency he ended up becoming the director and [[spoiler:employed the very same methods, letting terrible people go unpunished in exchange for their services, which inevitably led to a breakdown in his relationship with Invincible]].
* LonelyFuneral: [[spoiler:Unlike Black Samson and other super heroes's funerals which were attended by many people, nobody except Mark and Eve was present during Cecil's burial...]]
* MyGreatestFailure:
** As Omni-Man's handler, he views not knowing about his true intentions to be this and devotes a lot of time, money, and effort to ensuring Deborah and Mark will be financially stable and guiding Mark so he won't end up like his father. He's one of the Grayson family's most supportive allies... at first.
** His origin story reveals an even bigger one in his early history. He lead seventeen of his men into a trap laid by a supervillain duo and was the SoleSurvivor but was so badly injured that he had to have artificial skin grafted to his entire body. The only piece of skin that was salvageable was a horrid twisted mess near his mouth which he deliberately kept as a reminder of his mistake.
* TheSpook: As far as the law is concerned he doesn't exist. He claims that he's so high up the chain of command that he doesn't even have a rank and that most of America's governmental officials don't know he's real.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: When Mark is working for him, more or less.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He prefers to work with heroes and do things aboveboard, when he can. Unfortunately, once he's past the GodzillaThreshold, he stops being picky. At all. He even commits some incredibly unethical and reckless choices like [[spoiler:reanimating Conquest to gain answers from him]] and constantly lying to his subordinates, which begs the question if his intentions justify anything he does.

Cecil's right hand man.
----
* NumberTwo: He is this to Cecil, and Cecil absolutely trusts him in return.
* RoboticReveal: On a mission to Egypt to stop a Omni-Man level threat, his human body was destroyed while on a mission and replaced with a robotic one. Only 98% of his body is machine.
-->'''Rex Splode''': Donald!! You're a robot?!
-->'''Donald''': Pretty much.
* TomatoInTheMirror: His reveal as a cyborg was as much a surprise for readers as it was for him. It took him years to recover his emotions and reconcile with his ex-wife and son.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: While originally human, he questions if he still has any humanity left.
-->'''Donald''': I didn't have access to my emotions for some time and my memories were doctored so I didn't remember my death. I didn't even ''know'' I was an android for ''years''. I lost my wife over it.

* CutLexLuthorACheck: After creating zombie cyborgs underneath his university, he is enlisted by Cecil to create the cyborgs for the GDA. Though initially forced to do by Cecil, he accepts as it provides funding for his projects.
* KarmaHoudini: A rather blatantly enforced one. Due to his expertise, he gets a new job working with superheroes and GDA, a new place to work where he can explore all of his ideas, and eventually a new girlfriend to boot. All of this despite being a serial killer and murderer who kidnapped, mutilated, and killed dozens of his fellow students and random homeless people to turn into Reanimen for his experiments.
* MadScientist: He was willing to work on hobos and runaways for research. He would cut their vocal cords to stop them from screaming.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: His Reanimen are robotic zombie super soldiers created from still living people. Later Reanimen came from the alternate evil Invincible corpses.

One of Earth's oldest and most powerful heroes. Unfortunately for him, he's still no match for a Viltrumite.
----
* BeenThereShapedHistory: He's served in several historical wars and was even ''UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln'' at one point.
* CameBackWrong: Subverted. The first time we see him resurrect, he seems to be a screaming incoherent mess. But when he faces Nolan, it becomes clear he simply woke up pissed off as hell.
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Inverted; he's a heroic version of ComicBook/VandalSavage.
* DeathSeeker: The Immortal will eventually become this in the distant future. Invincible travels to the future and finds that The Immortal has created a utopia on Earth but is now purposefully killing innocents and acting tyrannical in an attempt to instigate his own murder and encourage rebels to plot against him. He forces Invincible to finally put him down.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When an old villain of his, Bi-Plane, threatens to kill everyone, the Immortal tosses him into the atmosphere to suffocate. If it helps, Bi-Plane was dying of terminal cancer anyway.
* GoodIsNotNice: He's known and called out by many, especially in the hero community, for being a Grade-A Jerkass. Even Cecil, who usually tolerates such behavior, calls him such. However, he is one of the most morally righteous characters in the series.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Is prone to several gory injuries and deaths, but always comes back good as new thanks to his power.
* TheGoodKing: [[spoiler:After destroying Robot's human body, Invincible gives the Immortal effective rulership of the world with Robot's brain to act as advisor]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The initial emphasis is on the 'Jerk' part, though the 'Heart of Gold' becomes much more apparent over time.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Has one with Dupli-Kate, who becomes the mother to his children.
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:How Omni-Man initially killed him. He gets better. It's also how a time-travelling Invincible will kill him in the far future.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: Takes one when he starts dating Dupli-Kate, explaining that the majority of his {{Jerkass}} attitude is because he found it hurt too much to keep losing people and tried to distance himself from everyone else.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: One of his main issues. Invincible's trip to the future sees him as an insane but reluctant tyrant, having finally snapped under the pressure of his longevity.

* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/IronMan and Black Lightning.
* DePower: At the very start of the series he is forcibly retired from the Guardians of the Globe after he somehow lost his powers. Despite later getting a suit that allowed him to continue superheroics it is made clear that it is a hardly comparable to the power he once held.
* PoweredArmor: He wears one due to losing his powers before the start of the series. Later, his natural powers return and said armor retired after Monster Girl destroyed it in combat.

The Teen Team was a band of super-powered teenagers. Together they fought crime and global menaces until the team was disbanded in a cloud of drama and ambition.

* InadequateInheritor: The opinion of Cecil and Donald. Although very much success by and large, their response time, inability to keep collateral damage down and failure to handle the real heavy hitter threats as well as they’d like makes them this in their eyes. As the years go on though and the roster grew and evolved they eventually come to subvert this, being even more effective then their predecessors.

Robot is, to all appearances, exactly what his name implies. He's actually a mutated scientist using a remote-controlled robot body. He later transfers his mind to a clone of Rex Splode, and later still pays tribute to Rex's HeroicSacrifice by taking his name.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: One specific thing about Robot's fate at the end of the series is only given at the fan-mail session of the same final issue: [[spoiler:one perceptive reader noted that The Immortal ending up as the leader of the world at the end is his exact same fate as in the terrible alternate universe shown early in the series where The Immortal goes crazy and villainous as the centuries goes by; Kirkman confirms that The Immortal of that world went crazy because Robot was also his advisor in that universe, but the key difference is that Mark was not present anymore in the alternative universe, with that said Kirkman wonders who Mark will find in charge of Earth if he stops checking by periodically]].
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:He spends the rest of his days as a BrainInAJar and while other people will listen to his ideas, that is about the full extent of it]].
* AffairBlameTheBastard: After he finds out that Monster Girl had an affair with Zall Zaxal, he orders the Zaxal family line to be exterminated, including the unborn child of Zall. He is upset that the child, Monax, survived.
* BaitAndSwitch: For a while Robot’s plan to make a clone of himself without any of his deformities was a framed in mystery, as if he was actually a villain planning something nefarious, turns out he just wanted a better life for himself; [[spoiler:then all went south he grows more and more antagonistic later in the series due crucial events that made Robot more cynical, planning world domination to enact his own views of world peace]].
* BrainInAJar: [[spoiler:His fate after Mark defeats him in #142. He is kept alive in this state so he can give advice to the Immortal, whom Mark has tasked with watching over the world. Robot admits that while he is very lonely, maybe this is for the best]].
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler:After his StartOfDarkness, he can't stop screwing over people. This is especially evident in the WhamShot at the end of #141, where he had an entire blockade of robots blocking off the returning heroes after Thragg's defeat]].
* ControlFreak: [[spoiler: Not at first but his time in the Flaxan dimension definitely made him one. He usually dresses it up with a lot of Logos and some well placed Pathos, but at the end of the day he’s a man whose bitter that his intellect and leadership skills aren’t as valued and respected as he’d like when compared to the comparably more inept world, so he’d rather rule it and make it as moral and functional as possible...and death to anyone who thinks otherwise and would pose a threat. His entire purge of the superhero community being driven by this, as he needed to remove those he’d figured would be the biggest obstacle or hardest to control in his grand schemes, and whenever that failed he’d manipulate them into being in his employ via talking them into believing his ideas and skills as being for the benefit of the world and offering hollow gestures of Apology and recompense for his actions.]]
* {{Cuckold}}: While he was in the Flaxxan dimension, Monster Girl had an affair with Zall Zaxal, which to twist the knife futher was an enemy of Robot who belonged to a dynasty that imprisoned him.
* {{Did Not Think This Through}}: [[spoiler: He decides to kidnap any of the children who are part-Viltrumite, but clearly did not think that their parents will most likely go against him since they care about and love those children. He also did not think that those who sided with him will still have standards since those who agreed with him and sided with him turn against him, and this ends up causing him to be taken care of by Mark who turns him into a {{Brain in a Jar}} since he does have knowledge that will be helpful to everyone else, but as punishment he will end up spending the rest of his life in a jar so he does not do any more harm.]]
* 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 kill him to end his suffering.]]
* DrunkWithPower: [[spoiler: One of the things that pushed him towards his FaceHeelTurn, as it left him with a urge for complete control and authority that was only distracted by his work and relationship. His time in the Flaxan dimension as its ruler pushed him to greater moral and ethical law than Monster Girl ever thought possible, essentially turning the once ruling class into second class citizens at best, driven by his belief that given the chance they’d seize power from him and undermine all his work. Once that did come to pass thanks to Monster Girl, he abandons any scruples of seeing them as people and, once they topple the regime and plan to head home, has his loyalists dedicate themselves to wiping out the entire bloodline with extreme prejudice behind Monster Girls back, largely motivated by her affair with Zall Zaxal and their constant undermining of his authority. He gets over this once he gets back to Earth, but over time gets fed up with his lack of control and yearns for the days he was in charge and doing this his way.]]
* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:He uses upgraded black armour instead of his usual reddish while executing his takeover.]]
* {{Expy}}: Initially of [[ComicBook/DoomPatrol Robotman]], then [[spoiler:of ComicBook/LexLuthor and [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Ozymandias]] after his FaceHeelTurn]].
* FutureMeScaresMe: In ''Reboot?'', Robot's past-self infers what Mark is carefully ''not'' saying about his future self, and observes that [[spoiler:he's always been scared of detaching himself from humanity like that and becoming a monster]].
* HappinessInSlavery: Essentially his ultimate fate. [[spoiler:He ends up a BrainInAJar, able to use his great intellect to assist the planet in becoming a utopia but with his ideas filtered through somebody with a much better moral compass. He admits that he actually feels relief at the burden of constantly struggling to do the right thing when he can't understand morality being taken off him.]]
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Managed to rack up a large killcount which consisted of a majority of the world's heroes in [[FaceHeelTurn his attempt to take over the world]] and [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans make it a better place]]. He not only succeeds but to pour salt on the wound, he actually makes an appearance in their ''funerals'']].
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Something always on Robot's mind. Robot is a superhero who is genuinely trying to help people and make the world a better place, but he constantly worries that his lack of humanity would eventually cause him to perform actions just as terrible as the villains he fights to achieve his goals. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, he's right.]]
* HumongousMecha: Robot sometimes uses much larger suits and drones for situations that need that much power.
* InvincibleVillain: [[spoiler:Seems to become this when he took over the world, everything works in his favor. He killed off most of the superheroes and super villains without much resistance and successfully took over the world, and rather than hate him the people of the Earth ''support'' him for solving their problems. Even Mark Grayson and Allen don’t do anything to prevent it.]] [[spoiler:In Issue 141, however, he overplays his hand by kidnapping all the part-Viltrumite children on Earth as security against their parents, reasoning that Mark, now ruler of the Viltrumites, would come after him. This makes even those who had previously sided with him turn against him, and he ends up as a BrainInAJar, courtesy of Mark.]]
* KissOfDeath: [[spoiler:Gives one to Monster Girl before having her thrown into outer space]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:After killing a majority of both superheroes, supervillains and associates of such, he was finally stripped of his rule, and reduced to a brain. Now with no way to escape, and being constantly watched over to make sure he tries nothing. Probably his only consolation is the fact that he can still help mankind using his knowledge]].
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: His default move whenever the more direct approach of violence doesn’t work out for him. Always using a combination of his admittedly good ideas, his targets known wants and needs and any trick in the book to reframe the narrative from him being the aggressor to a necessity that needed to be taken, and that he should be forgiven and even applauded for the good it will lead to. To his credit it usually works, as his plans do see the world become much better place and he wins over most of the superhero and villain community he didn’t kill, but when he tries this on Mark one last time (after many other attempts in their history) after he kidnapped the Viltrumite children to turn the empire against him, Mark decides to just turn him into a brain in a jar and not give him the chance to play this card on his allies.]]
* MercyKill: [[spoiler:The original Rudolph orders the new one to kill him to end his suffering.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Briefly has one after murdering many of his friends and taking over Earth. This doesn't stop him from continuing with his plans, and he does them so successfully that most of his enemies agree that he was right -- at first, anyway]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:After changing to the clone body. Even more so after spending hundreds of years in the Flaxan dimension, where time moves at a much slower pace]].
* PostFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Though he's fought after Thragg, he's quickly defeated by Mark and his allies.]]
* PoweredArmor: [[spoiler:After getting his cloned human body, he often wears a suit version of the original Robot, uh, robot]].
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: ''Literally,'' After he and [[spoiler:Monster Girl]] spend [[spoiler:seven hundred years in the Flaxan dimension]].
* RefugeInAudacity: It takes a very special kind of bastard to [[spoiler:appear in the funerals of the heroes ''you'' killed for no reason.]]
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:Not wanting to live in his mutated body anymore, he 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.]]
* SharpDressedMan: Starts wearing a fancy suit after [[spoiler:he takes over the world, taking quite a bit of tips from the kate Cecil]].
* TheSmartGuy: As one of the most intelligent characters in the series, he is this to any group he works for.
* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Deconstructed, while yes Robot has made a utopia after taking over the world, and spends a majority of his time trying to convince everyone, especially Mark that he's right. And several heroes surrender to agree with him, with even Allen's allies not attacking Earth because they also agree. With finally even Mark agreeing by Issue #142... before he punches a hole through him and reducing him to a brain in a jar. Mark rightfully calls out that while Robot does have brilliant ideas, the biggest issue is his morality or lack thereof. Thus they need to be filtered and implemented by someone with a strong sense of morals and a conscience, such as the Imortal. Who, abrassive personality aside, is one of the most consistently righteous characters in the series]].
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: After his FaceHeelTurn, [[spoiler:he's made himself out to be a good man to the entire world (which he effectively takes over), having convinced all but a few that he is a good man]]. This all comes tumbling down when he crosses the MoralEventHorizon in Issue 141, however, with even his allies turning on him.
* WalkingSpoiler: Just about everything to know about him came ''after'' the big reveal.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:He becomes this during and following his time spent in the Flaxan dimension]].
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:When Thragg's forces attack Earth, the Viltrumites loyal to Nolan join him to fight the madman. While they're doing that, Rex kidnaps their children from their human parents to blackmail the Viltrumites into not attacking afterwards, under Mark's leadership, or on their own initiative]]. This turns out to be a horrible mistake.

[[folder:Rex Splode]]
!!Rex Splode (Rex Sloan)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_199.jpeg]]

A cocksure young hero with explosive powers. Anything but popular due to his difficult behavior.
----
* CharacterDevelopment: He grows up a great deal and becomes kinder and wiser, encouraging Eve, his ex, to go for it with [[spoiler: Mark]], before his HeroicSacrifice. However, not everyone recognised this, as his bad first impression lingered.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: His family was poor and broke, forcing him to steal for the family for their survival. His family happily sold him off for food, his new father figure trained him as a Tykebomb to his do his bidding, and when the government found out that he killed him accidently, he was hunted down.
* {{Expy}}: of ComicBook/{{Gambit}}.
* FreudianExcuse: Rex has a lot of reasons for being a huge asshole, including [[spoiler:the fact that his family sold him away to a black ops government program and never thought about him again]] and [[spoiler:being used as an assassin by his evil father figure]].
* HavingABlast: His powers allow him to turn inert objects into grenades.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Detonated his entire skeleton in an attempt to kill the Viltrumite he was battling]].
* ImprovisedWeapon: Thanks to his powers, ''everything'' is a weapon to Rex. His preferred choice being batons, coins and various odds and ends he carried around. Later when gets his robot arm he has a arm cannon installed that shoots coins he charges internally before firing. [[spoiler: He even improvises his own skeleton as a weapon, dying in the process to kill one of the evil alternate Invincibles.]]
* JerkAss: While he does have an excuse for this, he still arrogant, self-important and confrontational to many. He grows up, and became a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, then... cue HeroicSacrifice.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's brash, shallow in his interests, and self-centered in most in what he does. He is still a hero, and those who can see past his flaws make good friends with him.
* OddFriendship: Despite both liking the same girl and thinking the other is a jerk, Rex and Mark actually manage to eventually become something akin to VitriolicBestBuds. It's notable since Mark doesn't really spend much time in a personal sense with any of the Guardians of the Globe beyond Rex, throws less dangerous villains Rex's way to boost his self-esteem, and visits Rex whenever he ends up in the hospital.
* ReplacementGoldfish: When he finally found his parents again they were living happily with two new kids and held no remorse over abandoning him.
* SimpleStaff: His primary weapons are simple nightsticks, which he usually charges before throwing.
* {{Tykebomb}}: What his new father figure trained him to be, a loyal weapon that kills off any enemy international or within the states, or any threats to his organization.

Having come from a cursed bloodline, Kate Cha suddenly began creating clones of herself at a young age. Years later, she gained control of her powers and decided to use them to fight evil as Dupli-Kate.
----
* DisappearedDad: Lost his mind trying to take care of his ever-fluctuating number of kids.
* {{Expy}}: She's a gender-flipped ComicBook/MultipleMan.
* HereditaryCurse: The indirect source of Kate's powers. One of Kate's ancestors, the Warlord Fung Cha, was cursed by the dying breath of the Emperor of China that "The seventh generation after Cha's seventh grandchild would be burdened with a family too large to care for... and it would drive him mad." That grandchild would be Kate's father, Tsing Cha, and the curse was fulfilled by giving Kate and her brother Paul [[MesACrowd duplication]] powers. Taking care of hundreds of children by yourself can apparently be ''really'' stressful.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: With the Immortal, even becomes the mother to his children.
* MissingMom: Her mother died in childbirth, leaving her poor father to raise her, her brother, and all their duplicates by himself.
* MesACrowd: Her powerset. her dupes have "1", "2", "3" etc on their uniforms. The original one, "0", always stays at a safe house in case the rest of her duplicates are killed.

[[folder:Monster Girl]]
!!Monster Girl (Amanda)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_810.jpeg]]

A charter member of the second Guardians of the Globe, Monster Girl can turn into a giant monster at will, but ages backward with each transformation due to a curse. She is also Robot's longtime girlfriend.
----
* BigBreastPride: [[spoiler:During her time in the Flaxan dimension she physically matures to adulthood and is quite proud of her chest. [[BuxomIsBetter She jokes that she would have suspected that Robot was only interested in her physically if they had not known each other for so long]]]].
* BlessedWithSuck: Her curse to transform into a monster causes her to grow younger, so even though she was chronologically an adult, she was in the body of an adolescent. [[spoiler:Later Robot is able to cure the curse via a belt that “rebuilds” her body correctly on the cellular level, instead of the faulty method her curse was doing it]].
* ChivalrousPervert: A rare female example, it would seem being trapped in the body of a teenager/pre-teen for about thrity years has left her with some serious frustration and little restraint when it comes to openly appreciating the attractiveness of the male superheroes around her. Because of her appearance this, understandably, makes those she's leering at incredibly uncomfortable.
* GypsyCurse: This is the source of her powers. When she was young she fell in love with a man whose grandmother disapproved of their relationship, so she cursed her to turn into a monster. Apparently, Monster Girl never figured this out and initially assumed she'd contracted some sort of disease whilst traveling.
* HulkMashUp: She's the resident Hulk analog of the series.
* InterspeciesRomance: Had an affair with a Flaxian woman named Zall, and with her monster form even sired a child with her.
* MonsterModesty: Originally her monster form only wore trunks, but since then it's been decked out in something like a lycra cycling suit.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She's around thirty but has the appearance of a pre-teen, [[spoiler:until Robot devises a cure for her condition. Taken even further after spending hundreds of years in another dimension]].
* PowerAtAPrice: Her curse may transform her into an incredibly strong monster that allowed her to become one of the world’s greatest heroes, but it also reduces her age with each use until she was reduced to prepubescent age. [[spoiler: Interestingly, her curses power is inversely proportional to her age, the older she is the weaker her monster form (as she observed in the Flaxan dimension as she reached her twenties) and the younger she is the stronger it is (an alternate dimension version of her, who had been reduced to baby age, transformed into a city-sized behemoth capable of massacring Viltrumites and was so strong their best strategy for dealing with her was just waiting for her to get tired and transform back on her own).]]
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:After her time in the Flaxian dimension with Robot]].
* ShipSinking: [[spoiler:The last issue makes it clear she wants nothing to do with Robot anymore]].
* SpoiledBrat: She came from a very wealthy family and is prone to lashing out at people due to looking like a child.
* SuperGenderBender: Her monster form is unambiguously male; she even [[spoiler:fathered a child in monster form]].

An artist and old associate of the Green Ghost who eventually got into crimefighting. [[spoiler: After Mark heads off to fight in the Viltrum War, he temporarily fills in as Invincible.]]
----
* AbusiveParents: His parents made it clear that they valued his brother more than him. When they learned that he impersonated his brother after his death [[DeathByOriginStory (caused by]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard his attempt to use Zandale as a guinea pig to test how to get out superpowers, empowering Zandale and killing him in the process)]], they refuse to believe him, assuming he murdered his brother. Indeed, they outright attack him, and he accidentally kills them.
* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler: While his father is strangling his girlfriend, Zandale pulls him off her a little too hard and breaks his neck.]]
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: [[spoiler:To Invincible.]]
* AscendedExtra: Went from one-off character, to good friend of Invincible, Guardian of the Globe, and even [[spoiler: putting in some time as Invincible]].
* BashBrothers: With Invincible.
* CompulsiveLiar: He has cheated on Carla in the past, gotten caught, and claims to have changed his ways while he continues to hit on seemingly any woman he's alone with. Then there's the matter of [[spoiler: impersonating his dead twin brother Tyrone for their parents' benefit. And later covering up his parents' death after accidentally killing them in the ensuing chaos when they learned the truth.]]
* FlyingBrick: His powerset is largely the same as other bricks, but with the ability to absorb kinetic energy.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:Of his [[EvilTwin evil]] [[MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe twin brother]]]].
* FaceHeelTurn: Of the WellIntentionedExtremist variety. [[spoiler:Joins Robot in his world conquest, though he does try to make his friends be imprisoned rather than be killed,]] and he accepts his new scarred, two-faced appearance as representing what he is now.
* HandsomeLech: Despite having a girlfriend, he hits on more then a few female heroes.
** {{Irony}}: Later has half his face burned off, preventing him from using his looks.
* TheScapegoat: [[spoiler: When reveals the secrets of his origin, Zandale's parents do not believe his twin brother was an evil MadScientist that unwillingly tested on his artsy, less ambitious twin brother. Instead, they convince themselves [[TheUnfavourite Zandale]] killed his brother after receiving powers and assumed his identity ''out of jealousy''.]]
* SelfMadeOrphan: Accidentally. [[spoiler: He and his girlfriend kill both his parents when they lash out at him in a fit of favoritism-fueled grief]].
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Very attractive, tall, and African-American.
* TheUnfavourite: To his parents, who consciously favor his more academic twin over him -- though they're implied not to have paid too much attention to what his twin was like, either.
* TwoFaced: [[spoiler:What he becomes after Robot's uprising. He refuses to get surgery out of guilt]].
* YouShouldHaveDiedInstead: [[spoiler: Told this by his parents after revealing the fate of his brother, complete with threatening to see him executed for his involvement -- which, let it be said, was as the victim of PlayingWithSyringes]].

[[quoteright:231:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_7823.jpeg]]

A Martian, disguised as human astronaut Rus Livingston, who uses his metamorphic powers to change his shape.
----
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/PlasticMan and ComicBook/MartianManhunter.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Rather unceremoniously and almost spontaneously killed by Robot.]]
* ForTheLulz: Pretty much why he became a hero, eventually becoming more noble and a bit more serious.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Downplayed. He isn't openly narcissistic or anything, but when push comes to shove he'll do what's best for him. On the small scale, he'll trick Art into designing a new suit for him... then just shapeshifts the suit himself so he doesn't have to pay for it. On a much larger scale, he'll jeopardise the safety of the entire Martian race to the sequid invasion to secure a better life for himself.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He was one of the Martians who wrongly believed the Sequids enslaved by the Martians are the victims and freed them, which he then made worse by leaving Rus on Mars and taking his place, which gave the Squids the host they needed to conquer the planet. He exiled himself to Earth after his people threatened to execute him for his mistake.
* ShapeShifting: His main gimmick as a hero and a species wide trait. He’s particularly adept at though, capable of holding a human form for days at a time and essentially dawns his human persona indefinitely once he settled on being a hero.

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shrinking_ray_001.jpg]]

Shrinking Ray is a member of the Guardians of the Globe who had the ability to shrink to small sizes. This power allowed him to be able to escape traps quite easily.
----
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/AntMan and ComicBook/TheAtom.[[note]]Although his ability to shrink to only a few inches high and lack of proportional increase in strength make him more an expy of Golden Age superhero Doll Man.[[/note]]
* PunnyName: Shrinking Ray... shrink ray.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: He can shrink to a few inches high.
* SwallowedWhole: While shrunk, he is eaten by Komodo Dragon in one bite.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: His main power is to shrink to only a few inches high, which does allow him to sneak around mostly undetected. There is no proportional increase in strength, unlike his expies Ant-Man and the Atom, nor do we see the extent of his shrinking to subatomic levels.
** That said, he does appear to be able to enter opponents' ear canals and disrupt them that way, as he is seen emerging from Magmaniac that way.

After the death of his mentor, he would inherit the previous Darkwing's legacy and become the new Darkwing.
----
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:After many years (both in real time and in-universe) of believed to be dead, surprisingly re-emerges from the Shadowverse he was trapped in, still alive but much older.]]
* CastingAShadow: His superpower is using shadows as instantaneous travel portals through something called the Shadowverse. It comes with a cost, considering the dark dimension he travels through is filled with dangerous predators.
* {{Expy}}: Has a backstory and costume akin to ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}, the morality of ComicBook/ThePunisher, and the powers of Cloak of ComicBook/{{CloakAndDagger}}.
* GoodIsNotNice: Actively kills criminals, unlike his predecessor, to the point he was more like a serial killer than a superhero.
* HeelFaceTurn: While not a villain, his recruitment to the Guardians of the Globe is met with great concern from Mark due to his past acts of murder.
* KidSidekick: Formerly Nightboy.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Not long after turning over a new leaf, he takes an evil Invincible from an alternate Earth into the shadow dimension. He is assumed dead [[spoiler:until the finale when he re-emerges from the Shadowverse.]]

!'''Introduced in Guarding The Globe'''

[[folder:Best Tiger]]
!!Best Tiger
A Hong Kong vigilante described by Robot as "a supercomputer with guns".

----
* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Invincible Universe'' #4 follows Best Tiger as he systematically hunts down the Guardians of the Globe. [[spoiler: Except not really, because it's all a fantasy sequence to occupy the Insomniac who's trying to mind control him into killing the other Guardians.]]
* AntiHero: He's motivated mostly by his pursuit of a challenge and he's not above killing or seriously wounding his enemies, but he's firmly a good guy and makes it quite clear he will ride or die for the Guardians.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Tiger's specialty, but the most ridiculous instance of this trope is when he [[spoiler: figured out that Outrun was being possessed purely from the ''the way she shaved her armpits'', which he only noticed because of the '''sound the wind passing through her armpits made when she ran'''.]]
* BadassBoast: Three-quarters of his dialogue is nothing but this.
-->'''Hunter:''' I know the brain trust at the G.D.A. calculated that once the secret police got their hands on a super hero they'd bring them to their super hero factory-- but they could have just shot you in a ditch at any time.\\
'''Best Tiger:''' Them? Kill Best Tiger? Hunter makes joke.
* BlindWeaponmaster: Subverted; his eyes work just fine, he just wears the blindfold because that's the only way combat holds any real challenge for him.
* ChallengeSeeker: His primary concern is finding the toughest opponents around and dueling them to the death.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He's surrounded by ninjas and he's down to one bullet, so what does he do? Remind his attackers that one bullet's always enough for him and fire a trick shot that cuts through the assassins like a hot knife through butter while he deals with everybody that didn't get shot shortly afterwards.
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} with a little bit of Bullseye thrown in.
* InexplicablyAwesome: What's his origin story? How do his powers work? Does he even ''have'' powers? He's Best Tiger, that's all the answer you need.
* NervesOfSteel: Tiger's response to getting subjected to electric torture? Trick the chief torturer into getting too close and then bite down on his lip.
* OneManArmy: Doesn't matter if they're fully human mooks, robots, or alien invaders, they won't last two minutes against him.
* PinballProjectile: His shots are usually these. He even managed to use his ''gun'' as one when he got captured by North Koreans.
* PsychicStatic: [[spoiler: Played with; he can't prevent people from reading his mind, but due to the way his brain works, he ''can'' tell when someone's actively digging around inside of it and how to subvert their control, as the Insomniac found out the hard way.]]
* SuperSenses: Kind of a prerequisite for someone who fights without bothering to use his eyes.
* YouNoTakeCandle: English is pretty clearly his second language. Not that it prevents him from coming across as any less threatening, mind you.

----
* BadassBoast: When she's the last hero standing against Set:
-->"Odds of my success: 0.0001%. Odds of my surrender: 0.0001%."
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: After she gets infested by a body-snatching alien parasite, she fights off it's influence long enough to overload her nuclear core and ensure it never leaves her body.]]
* ImprovisedWeapon: Thanks to her ability to upgrade any technology, anything she gets her hands on can be a serious weapon. In one scene, she turns a pair of parking meters into automatic rifles that fire coins.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Inverted; he's a heroic stand-in for Captain Boomerang.
* GloryHound: Downplayed; his primary motivation for joining the Guardians was to make more of a name for himself, having done everything he can in his home country.
* MindOverMatter: He's revealed to be a low-level telekinetic, which he mostly uses to make his throws more accurate. [[spoiler: ''Invincible Universe'' #12 throws the 'low-level' part out the window when he uses his powers to defuse bombs that have been scattered across the world.]]
* NiceGuy: He's the kind of guy who'd take you out for a pint and offer to be the designated driver.
* OfficialCouple: With Outrun.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: It's all in the name. Emphasis on the guided part thanks to his telekinesis.

[[folder:Outrun]]
!!Outrun
The Guardians' new speedster from South Africa.

----
* AmbiguouslyBi: She sleeps with Bulletproof, Shapesmith, Kaboomerang, and ''Le Bruiser'', and tries to make a move on Knockout (who rebuffs her). While that could easily be explained away as [[spoiler: a result of her getting possessed]], earlier in the series she also expresses a noticeable...interest in Bulletproof's nude paintings.
* BestialityIsDepraved: Let us reiterate: she slept with a ''French bulldog''.
* OfficialCouple: With Kaboomerang.
* SuperSpeed: She's fast enough to cross the Atlantic Ocean in the time it takes for her to make a call to Cecil.
* WhatTheHellHero: After [[spoiler: being freed from Embrace's control]], she promptly reads the heroes she slept with the riot act for not bothering to stop and question if she was the type of person to sleep around with anyone she makes eye contact with.

* TheAlcoholic: By the time he's recruited, he's practically living out of the bottle, which ends up [[spoiler: getting Cast Iron killed and getting him temporarily kicked off the team]]. Thankfully, he eventually sobers up.
* {{Expy}}: The alcoholism and claws make him a pretty clear stand-in for ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}.
* IronicEcho: During his meeting with Milos' father, Francisco tries to explain he's an alcoholic, only for Mr. Stojakovic to reply there are no alcoholics where he lives, only "those who drink and those who are weak". Later, when [[spoiler: the Stojakovics are being taken into custody]], Francisco tosses the bottle back at him, claiming he's "too weak for it".
* WeakButSkilled: During his fight with [[spoiler: the Stojakovics]], Francisco's completely outmatched physically as he himself admits, so he swipes some explosives from their armory, tricks them into following him to their dam, blows it wide open, and then just waits for them to surface again to take them out.

[[folder:Allen the Alien]]
!!Allen the Alien
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_186.jpeg]]
A Unopan Champion Evaluation Officer who worked for the Coalition of Planets.
----
* AdaptiveAbility: Whenever he is beaten to near death and survives, his body becomes even stronger than before (think the Zenkai Boosts, Saiyans get from ''Franchise/DragonBall''). It got to the point he became strong enough to kill Viltrumites by himself.
--> '''Viltrumite Woman:''' "What the HELL, Unopan!? My ex-husband couldn't hit that hard!"
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: After the Viltrumite War and [[spoiler: Thaedus' death]] he becomes leader of the Coalition of Planets.
* BreakoutCharacter: He went from sorta of associate of Mark, to friend and recurring character of the cast. It got to the point he was so beloved in real life that the creator himself admitted to liking him and promised that he wouldn't die before the series ended. He even jokingly toyed with a spin off series.
* CameBackStrong: Similar to Saiyans from ''Franchise/DragonBall'', every time he nearly dies and comes back, he comes back way stronger. Case in point, he went from painfully below adult Viltrumites when he started off, to stronger than most adult Viltrumites at the end of the war.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Averted. Instead of fighting Allen over a pointless misunderstanding, Mark tries talking ''first.'' [[spoiler: When they do eventually go to war, they end up as friends again.]]
* FlyingBrick: Similar powers to most Viltrumites: Super strength, durability, speed, endurance, reflexes, and agility.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Allen has been critically hospitalized at least twice, but manages to come back as good as ever.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Allen has his own vaguely Green Lantern-like career and adventures, of which we only see a few snippets.
* HumanoidAlien: A [[TopHeavyGuy burly]] cyclops with only three digits per hand.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Was willing to use the Viltrumite virus on Earth to kill off the remaining population, even though it might kill the humans instead. He ends up regretting his actions but this leads to a rift between him and Mark.
** He also [[spoiler:manipulated Oliver -- then working as a double agent for him -- into pushing Thragg for a personal meeting, knowing how Thragg would react, in order to involve Mark once more. Mark, unsurprisingly, tries to kill him, though he later accepts his reasoning]].
* LetsYouAndHimFight: He repeatedly ran through this scenario with Mark's dad until Mark actually tried talking to him and found out his attacks were a mistake -- there were still meant to be fights, but he was just supposed to be the equivalent of a fight trainer to make sure that the relevant planet's champion was up to standard.
* ManipulativeBastard: Eventually has to become this as the Leader of the Coalition of Planets, though he's not necessarily happy about it -- especially when it leads to the death of [[spoiler: Oliver, his friend]]. Mark is severely displeased, but (eventually) understands the reasoning and necessity.
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:He blames himself for what he did to return Mark to heroics, namely convincing Oliver to meet with Thragg and revealing the location of Mark's family, as it got Oliver killed and deeply angered Mark during his funeral, to the point he went ballistic and fought him relentlessly until Eve stopped them. When he revealed the truth to both of them, Eve nearly crushed him to death in retribution.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: What he is as the leader of the collection of planets, he always try to make the best decision and when he is wrong is fully willing to acknowledge his mistakes.

* CloningBlues: Brit is subjected to this, with several clones made that believe they are the real Brit.
* CoolOldGuy: Brit is easily one of the oldest human characters, and fits the definition of being a cool old guy: he is viewed as reliable by most heroes and led the second version of the Guardians of the Globe.
* DeathOfTheHyponestuse: The third ''Brit'' one-shot shows the death of Brit's ex-wife, Susan, during the alien invasion that took place in ''Invincible'' #16. It should be noted previously to this, Brit had told Jessica he didn't have romantic feelings for Susan anymore, but Jessica was still jealous.
* HappilyMarried: Brit is married with Jessica, his wife, and they had Brittany, Jr., their son.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Brit was featured in his own series, which showed him meeting his wife and her giving birth to their son, among other adventures. Of note, the third ''Brit'' one-shot shows the alien invasion that took place during ''Invincible'' #16 and how it was actually stopped.

[[folder:The Mauler Twins]]
!!Mauler Twins
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_130.jpeg]]

A pair of verbose scientists who specialize in mind-transfer and cloning. Their supervillianous exploits are motivated by their ongoing game of one-upsmanship, in which each tries to prove to the other that they are the original and their opposite is the clone.
----
* CloningBlues: The cloning process for them is so perfect that neither can remember which is the original and which is the clone.
* GeniusBruiser: They may look like your typical dumb bruiser, but they are certainly not someone to judge on appearance alone. Not only do they have vast knowledge in many science fields, super geniuses Angstrom Levy and Robot specifically recruited them for both their brain and their brawn.
* HeelFaceTurn: Once they accomplish their goals, they decide to use their genius to help out. Possibly put on Robot's payroll.
* RunningGag: Both them are identical clones, but that doesn't stop them from being confused over who was cloned from whom. In fact, it's the only thing that keeps them working harmoniously together, as the one time they managed to figured out who was the original resulted in said Mauler becoming the dominant of the two, lording over the clone until said clone had enough and poisoned him to death.
* StarterVillain: While not the first villains Invincible fights, they are the first to give him any trouble.
* SuperStrength: Have Massive amounts of strength, being able to overwhelm Invincible when he started out.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Technically the same guy but still. They are Never seen apart and always treated as a unit.

[[folder:The Flaxans]]
!!The Flaxans
[[quoteright:319:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_178.jpeg]]

A species of extradimensional aliens that constantly invade only to be repelled.
----
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: While there are a few minor Flaxans that want peace their species as a whole ''without fail'' always defaults to becoming conquering tyrants no matter what happens. [[spoiler: Robot and Monster Girl spend CENTURIES trying to alter their culture to be more peaceful - through both soft/subtle means and outright executing any Flaxan that steps out of line and shows violent tendencies. The process takes so long and their culture keeps resetting so many times that it tears apart Robot and Monster Girl's relationship. Robot's outlook permanently alters to see a "greater good" violence/tyranny as the default and easiest solution to societal problems, while Monster Girl ends up falling for a member of the tyrannical ousted Flaxan imperial family and believes they should cut their losses and that trying to transform the Flaxans into a peaceful species has become so barbaric that it's better to just let them stay jerks.]]
* RapidAging: Happens to them when outside their home dimension. They use ever progressing technology to counter the effect and are forced to retreat when the tech is destroyed.
* RunningGag: They appear early on every couple of issues, only to quickly be beaten back.
* YearInsideHourOutside: Because time in their dimension flows much faster, each time they appear their weapons are more advanced. A side effect is they suffer from RapidAging outside of their home dimension. [[spoiler: humans suffer the opposite, instead of rapid aging in their dimension they stay the same age for decades at the time, taking almost several decades to age a few months at most.]]
* ZergRush: While they are technologically advanced, Earth's defending superheroes are still much stronger than them. The Flaxans main advantage is their larger army whenever they invade and the fact they can appear just about anywhere at any time, making it hard to prepare for them when they do show up.

[[folder:Angstrom Levy]]
!!Angstrom Levy
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2647.jpeg]]

Essentially Invincible's ArchEnemy. Once a man born with the ability to open portals to other dimensions but lacked the knowledge to navigate them effectively. He gathered countless extra-dimensional versions of himself (who all had the different universal ability of having genius level intellect of their respective dimensions) and the Mauler twins to download their memories into him in hopes of mastering his abilities. After the project failed, he blamed Invincible for his hideously mutated appearance, willing to go to whatever lengths necessary to have his revenge.
----
* ArchEnemy: Invincible’s first and most impactful. Starting out as some random guy Mark stopped since he was working with the Mauler Twins, which, after a handful of ever escalating encounters, turned into a blood-feud that jaded Mark’s stance on killing the most and made him obsess over him whenever he came back on the scene. The feeling is more than mutual as every act Angstrom does post accident is dedicated to killing, humiliating and/or ruining Invincible in the most devastating level. Hence his pension for targeting his family.
* BodyHorror: Levy's brain has grown so large that it now takes up not only his head, but most of his shoulders and some of his back.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Angstrom Levy was an amoral but harmless scientist who sought to perfect his technologies through less than legal means... until Invincible accidentally turned him into a freak with brains bulging out of his head and shoulders. It was, in fact, largely Levy's fault: the accident happened because Levy tried to stop the Mauler Twins, who he'd employed for his experiments, from killing Invincible. When Mark points this out, Levy refuses to believe it, because by that point he's too insane to realize there was ever a time that he ''didn't'' want Invincible dead. [[spoiler: It took him nearly a year of him believing Invincible was dead, living a normal life and Eve talking with him about his backstory and demented mindset for him to give his blood-feud up, committing himself to redemption...before one of the evil alternate Mark’s he betrayed snatches him up and tortures him to near death for his actions against him.]]
* DimensionalTraveler: His main power, allowing him to open portals to any dimension. Later the accident that gave him his mutated appearance enhanced this even further, fusing all the memories of countless alternate dimensional selves he collected into his brain. This had the effect of increasing his intellect hundreds fold and giving him the ability to create portals to any desired dimension at will twitch full knowledge of everything he would need to know. A side effect of the accident was he was erased him from the multiverse by killing his alternate selves as a result. Meaning if he dies, he's dead '''in all dimensions'''.
* DisproportionateRetribution: A good way to describe his antagonistic acts towards Invincible, when he one ups Angstrom he has to answer ten fold. Accidentally cause you to destroy your own project and mutate you horrifically? Time to kidnap and torment your mother and toddler brother while trapping you in hellish dimensions for months on end till your weak enough that I can beat you to death! Get near killed when said plan fails? Time to recruit almost 20 evil, extra-dimensional copies of Mark to RAZE the most famous cities to the ground and kill as many heroes and people as possible to ruin his reputation forever before killing him! With his only real justification for such acts being Invincible started it and can’t justify it otherwise beyond calling Mark’s character into question.
* {{Expy}}: Of the original classic ComicBook/LexLuthor, as well as ComicBook/TeenTitans villain Psimon. In his later appearances, he bears a very strong resemblence to [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Samuel Sterns/The Leader]] in particular.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Atom Eve [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath convinces him]] that Invincible is a good guy and it was a delusion that the explosion was his fault, finally making him remember that the explosion was caused by him trying to ''save'' Mark...then one of the evil alternate Invincibles drags him to another dimension and an unpleasant fate. However, this turns into a DefiedTrope as Mark immediately vows to track him down and rescue him... then Robot murders him to trap Mark on that Earth.]]
* ItsPersonal: One of the very few villains to have a personal quarrel with Invincible, and the ''only'' one for whom the feeling is mutual on Invincible's part.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Was finally killed off for good once he was decapitated by Robot when he accompanied Invincible to rescue Angstrom from another dimension.]]
* MeaningfulName: An "angstrom" is a microscopic unit of measurement. Levy is -- or starts out as -- an experimental physicist.
* MyBrainIsBig: Much to his dismay. Angstrom's brain is hideously enlarged, bulging from his head, shoulders and upper back as a result of a lab experiment gone wrong. He hates the way he looks, and hates Invincible for, as he believes, giving him his horribly mutated brain.
* NeverMyFault: His first thought when something goes wrong is blame Invincible.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: He winds up putting a stop to a number of evil alternate versions of Mark in his crusade against the Invincible the comic follows.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Averted at first then played straight. Despite being able to go to any and all dimensions at will, he lacked two key secondary powers to make use of it to its full potential:
** Knowledge of all dimensions, as he had no clue what dimension he might end up intrinsically, requiring a lot of trial and error to navigate until he recruited the Mauler Twins and thousands of extra-dimensional versions of himself (who all has SuperIntelligence of their home dimensions but not his powers) to gain said knowledge. It killed all the versions of him and mutated him, but it worked. Increasing his intelligence, power and threat level from a amoral scientist to a world threatening menace.
** His portals don’t actually take you to a different space when used, essentially shifted you across dimensions at the exact same point. This required him to drive and walk a lot to where he wants to go due to the geographic differences between dimensions. He never quiet overcomes this, instead relying on advanced technology and teleportation to make up the difference in his dimension hopping when location was a problem.
* SuperIntelligence: At first he was incredibly intelligent for any normal person but not smart enough use his powers to their full potential. Relying on his cunning and creativity to get by and formulate a plan to attain this through the use of countless extra-dimensional version of himself (who, theorized by him to be some cosmic order in play, all had super intelligence of their respective dimensions but not his powers) to increase his own intelligence via mental download. Despite the failure of the project it worked, giving him intimate knowledge on all things extra-dimensional to such a extent he could revolutionize an entire civilization into a godlike utopia when forced to do so.
* VillainHasAPoint: He was correct in the fact that Mark is far from incorruptible, and with the minds of thousands of Angstroms revealing that many of his counterparts go bad with only a little push. In fact, ''very few'' of Mark's counterparts are good, and the ones that are bad usually lost loved ones. The whole invasion of Marks was composed of at least 19 of him he could personally convince.

[[folder:Dinosaurus]]
!!Dinosaurus
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dinosaurus_invincible_comics_kirkman.jpg]]

A humanoid dinosaur man who manifests whenever his “counterpart”, David Anders, is apathetic. He is dedicated to save the world and has the intelligence and power to do it...no matter how many lives it costs to do it.
----
* DeathEqualsRedemption: After realizing all his plans are doomed to fail, he asks Mark to mercy kill him.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: At the end of the day, he earnestly cares about Invincible a great deal for taking a chance and helping him with his plans to save the world. Going as far as sacrificing his life to get Mark away from Thragg when he planned to assassinate him, which Dinosaurus only did because considered Mark an ally (he got better though). Ultimately his lack of morality and commitment to his goals is what created a rift between them, with him later begging Invincible to kill him once he realized the scope of his actions, the possibility of him being wrong and how much he hurt the one person who ever cared enough to give him a chance.
* {{Expy}}: Of Flash villain Gorilla Grodd, but as an obviously different species.
* TheExtremistWasRight: The reason Mark allied and befriended him. He’s incredibly amoral and willing to do unspeakable things to better the world, but he’s almost always right about what needs to be done to do so and just lacks a conscious to do it more humanely. With his destruction of Las Vegas creating a solar panel farm so massive and efficient it powers most of the United Stated and employees thousands, and his destruction of most of the polar icecaps, while drowning thousands and destroying a good chunk of costal nations, did save the world from a climate change disaster and lead to greater changes. Ultimately what makes him worse of a person is that he’s aware of this and never feels bad about what he does because of it. As long as he’s right and doing what he perceives as good for the world, who cares about the consequences?
* GeniusBruiser: One of the smartest characters in the series and one of the strongest villains in the setting in terms of raw physical ability, able to match some Viltrumites in power and make up the difference with his cunning and intellect.
* HeroKiller: Kills Mark in Issue 100 on live television. [[spoiler:Except he actually only killed a clone that he made himself, teleporting away with the original.]]
* MoralityChain: Mark tries to be one for him. He fails due to being out of the picture for too long to recover from the scourge virus, leaving Dinosaurus alone for too long without his positive influence and input.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: In a roundabout sort of way. He is much less a person and more a curse his “counterpart” has, as long David Anders is alive and gets bored again and no matter how thoroughly killed Dinosaurus was beforehand, he will come back no worse for wear.
* SuperIntelligence: His brutality is matched perfectly with his tremendous intelligence, being able to match the smartest characters in the series and exceed most of them in his ability to predict and develop strategies to counter global threats and optimize human development. With his lack of morality being the only thing holding him back.
* ThePowerOfApathy: How David Anders becomes Dinosaurus, if he is sufficiently bored or apathetic, the transformation happens, so while Cecil has him locked up after working this out, it is a LuxuryPrisonSuite, filled with games, movies and a huge tv, to stop David from turning, Mark triggers this, when he needs Dinosaurus' help, by Telling David about a really dull subject, such as the most mundane parts of his backstory or the complexities of comic book industry.
* TheUnfettered: Will do anything for his goals to make the world a better place, regardless of what he, or the most of humanity, needs to sacrifice or how he may be perceived for what he does.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Exceedingly so. His main goal is to protect the planet. His methods including wiping Las Vegas off the map in order to install solar panels and drowning the world to reduce the population and therefore consumption.

A villain with powered gauntlets (or bracelets depending on how you look at it) allowing him to manipulate the earth through seismic actibity.
----
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite being defeated easily in his early appearances, at one point he captures nearly every super hero in the world. His plan worked so well it even surprised him. [[spoiler:Probably one of the reasons Robot later killed him during his take over.]]
* DishingOutDirt: He can manipulate the earth, including lava.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: The show adds the detail that he's a feminist who took courses in women's studies when getting his undergraduate degree.
* {{Expy}}: Of Avengers villain Graviton, although much older and kookier.
* TookALevelInBadass: A running theme with him, as he seems to get more powerful and becomes a more deadly threat each time around. First he needed his gauntlets to be a threat, but eventually gained the ability to command the subterranean monsters his gauntlets revealed from anywhere on the globe. After one defeat, he comes across a Lava Men civilization. He becomes their leader and leads them in capturing all of the super heroes. Eventually said civilization properly assimilated him, transforming him into a massive lava monster with an even greater army and power.

[[folder:Alternate Evil Invincibles]]
!!Alternate Mark Graysons
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alternate_mark_graysons.png]]

An army summoned by Angstrom Levy to Earth composed entirely of alternate, villainous versions of Invincible.
----
* AllianceOfAlternates: A villainous example of this trope. As is clear by now, all of them are villainous versions of Mark whom conquered their Earths instead of being it's protectors. Then with Angstrom's ability to create portals to other dimensions/universes. It was pretty easy for him to amass an army of them.
* AlternateSelf: All of them are evil versions of Mark, most of which being a result of either; Nolan taking a different approach to parenting Mark in the Viltrumite ways and/or the death of his parents or Eve... usually by their own hands.
* AntagonisticOffspring: Several of them claim to have killed one parent or both.
* BizarroUniverse: They're all quite opposites of Mark. One of them has a BadassMoustache like Viltrumites tend to do.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Most of them die off-screen at the hands of heroes in the Invincible universe, or other local Image Comics superheroes.
* EliteZombie: Many of the dead ones on Earth are brought back as Reani-Men by Cecil. Naturally due to being half-viltrumites, they are much more tougher than the average Reanimen (whom are already pretty deadly in of themselves).
* EvilCounterpart: All of them are evil versions of Mark. With what little was seen of them from a character standpoint, none of them have any positive traits whatsoever.
* EvilIsPetty: Quite a few of them are being evil just because they are different.
* EvilOverlord: What most of them became when they conquered their respective worlds, with Angstrom recruiting them being a direct result of them wanting to expand their empires across dimensional lines.
* GoodHairEvilHair: Most of them have some kind of haircut or hairstyle that makes them stand out from Mark.
* HeroKiller: Make no mistake, they may have had only a couple of appearances. But they killed thousands of people, dozens heroes and villains alike. Most of their deaths were either caused by superheroes going all out to try to beat them, killing each other or heroic sacrifices made by some of the heroes. In fact one of them has stated to have [[NoodleIncident ''killed'']] '''ComicBook/Spawn''''.
* IAmAHumanitarian: Those stranded in another desolate universe proceeded to cannibalize each other after a few days.
* LoneSurvivor: Eventually, only one is left after months upon months of the survivors eating and hunting each other down for survival.
* {{Patricide}}: A few of them killed their father. Most notably one of those that said this, wore a costume very similar to Omni-Man's too.
* SoleSurvivor: Originally, only eight were left during the events of the Invincible War. But after they start eating each other only one was left.
* VillainTeamUp: The evil Invincibles are only working with Levy under the promise of helping them to expand their empires into countless dimensions. But when their number's reduced to eight, they decided to end their alliance and threaten to kill Levy. But before they could can so, Levy banishes them to an desolate universe.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Many of them were defeated or killed by the heroes of Image Comics during the crossover they were part of, and not given much "screen time" or exploration into what sets them apart from Mark beyond some passing comments they make.
* WouldHurtAChild: None of them have any qualms about killing children.

A race of Starfish like aliens who crash landed on Mars centuries ago, engaging in a war of conquest until their hosts died of old age, leaving them docile and their enemies, the Martians, free to enslave them. They're able to take control of any individual, with few exceptions.
----
* {{Expy}}: Of [[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Starro the Conqueror]].
* HiveMind: A incredibly potent one. They only need one host, a main controller, as a focal point who can then coordinate and direct the others with near instantaneous efficiency to such a degree they were able to conquer Mars without issue. Without a host however they are left next to docile and easy to handle.
* PuppeteerParasite: Able to take control of any organism unless the organism's skin is strong enough to not be adhered to (Invincible, Titan) or if the organism can shapeshift (The Martian race).
* StarfishAliens: Literally, they are starfish aliens.
* ZergRush: Individually they are small and weak, but there are many of them and they use swarming tactics at such an incredible level they can overwhelm much stronger foes like The Immortal, Monster Girl, and Viltrumites, with ease.

----
* ADayInTheLimeLight: His introductory issue is spent on his increasingly desperate attempts to pick a fight with Invincible, only to wind up running into almost everyone else in the superhuman community first.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Powerplex, an electrokinetic, and his family decided to lay a trap for Invincible using his family as "hostages" while his family was tied up on a metal floor. Since metal conducts electricity, things did not end well for his family.
* {{Expy}}: Of Spider-Man villain Electro
* HeelFaceTurn: After calming down and going to therapy, he joined the new Guardians of the Globe.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Has this reaction when he realizes the deaths of his wife and son were his fault.
-->"Everyone would still be alive if it wasn't for you! They would--they'd be--they'd---Oh, God...they're dead. They're..dead..."
* NeverMyFault: Initially, when his family gets killed by his powers, he blames Invincible right away. Though Invincible points out just how it is his fault, and at the same time, how all sorts of other deaths are ''his'' fault and they weigh on him every day.
* PowerIncontinence: He has the ability to absorb kinetic energy and fire it back in electrical bursts, but as he absorbs the energy he had no control over how to contain it. This led to his family dying as he was unable to direct the electrical flow as Invincible overloaded him with power.
* PsychoElectro: He's a mentally unstable superhuman with electrical powers. He gets worse after accidentally killing his wife and son, though with time he gets better.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: He's motivated by his belief that Invincible and Omni-Man are secretly working together. By the time he kicks his plan to kill Mark into high gear, he's actually *right,* but it's because Omni-Man has betrayed his people to protect the Earth.

* {{Mooks}}: The Lizard League soldiers.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Not that they were ever harmless, but they are easily defeated in early appearances.

!'''Viltrumites'''

[[folder:In General]]
!!In General

A super-powered race of former pacifists who went through a massive cultural shift, resulting in a civil war that saw most of their population dead and only the strong and vicious alive, who would then become a race of genocidal space conquerors. Tremendously feared and hated across the universe for causing billions of deaths and countless atrocities with their wars of conquest.
----
* AchillesHeel: Have a handful that they took great pains to eradicate from the universe. The only one they can’t circumvent is that their hearing is highly vulnerable to sonic attacks, being debilitated if not killed by them due to how their flight power works, which operate on a internal equilibrium so complex and efficient it doesn’t take much to ruin it when you got the right frequencies.
* AllThereInTheManual: The reason why Viltrum and Human genes are such a great match, beyond viltrumite DNA being immensively adaptive, is not explained in the comic proper; [[spoiler:in the guidebook Kirkman alludes to Humanity and Viltrum having a common ancestor in an ancient alien race]].
* BadassMustache: Their culture seems to favor mustaches as the standard fashion for all Viltrumite males, the ones that do not have mustaches are glaring exceptions. [[spoiler: When Mark becomes the emperor by the end of the series he actually needs to justify why he prefers to go clean shaven, reasoning that the era of pacific Viltrumites goes in hand with a clean shaven emperor, as the previous war monger emperor Thragg had the most impressive mustache of all]].
* TheBerserker: When Anissa first tries to reason with Mark to make him accept the presence of Viltrumites on Earth, she says Viltrumites and humans aren't that culturally different at the end of the day, but she does come clean about the fact Viltrumites are much more prone to anger and desire for conflict than a regular human would, labeling her own race as being inherently built to desire combat. That’s how easy it was for them to round up the more peaceful Viltrumites and kill them off during their civil war.
* DominantSpeciesGenes: While they can interbreed with a wide variety of species, their features are dominant. This is naturally imperceptible with humans, but hybrids with an InsectoidAlien only have purple skin to show their mixed heritage, and even that fades as they age to a color within the average human range.
* DyingRace: [[spoiler:In Issue 66, it is revealed that the Viltrumites are driven to near extinction by a biological weapon developed by the Coalition of Planets, the Scourge virus. Many perished or temporarily deprived of their superhuman powers, rendering the loss of 99% of their population and leaving less than fifty full-blooded Viltrumites. As a result, bans on crossbreeding with other conquered races were lifted to replenish their numbers with mixed results. Nolan's original mission to Earth was to turn it into a breeding camp after learning that human DNA is almost compatible with Viltrumites.]]
* EmotionSuppression: It's clear that the Viltrumites potentially have as expansive an emotional range as humans do, but they suppress any feelings like pity, mercy, or empathy. This is intentional, to make their atrocities more bearable and as a self-defense mechanism lest their peers turn on them for displaying "weakness". Epitomized by Thragg, who literally has to have the feeling of love explained to him by his underlings.
* TheEmpire: The Viltrum Empire.
* FlyingBrick: An entire race of them with such potency they became galactic scourges that conquered thousands of worlds with next to no equal. The exact scale of their powers isn’t consistent, as it takes till their twenties for their powers reach their peak, with many of them still being leagues weaker others... but often still light years stronger, faster, and tougher than 99% of the entire universe.
* HumanAlien: Are near identical to humans on a genetic and superficial level, with the only real differences you’d notice on a physical level being that all Viltrumites have shades of black hair until they reach old age and have naturally muscular body structures. In terms of psychology they are this as well, with any differences being mostly cultural, leaving the one real difference between them and humans: a greater sense of aggression and violence.
* HybridPower: Viltrumites can create offspring with many other alien species as their genes are extremely adaptive. Depending on the parent species, some hybrids (like Mark) can grow to become as powerful as a full-blooded Viltrumite or in the case of Terra (who has her mom's powers along with Mark's), potentially even stronger.
* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:Their later efforts to blend in human society manages to change the once vicious conquerors into empathic people by finding human partners who showed them what real love is; Lucan even tells Thragg there’s something more to how humanity form couples compared to the Viltrumite way. It’s the perfect foundation for Mark to successfully make the Viltrumite race into a peaceful empire once he becomes their emperor]].
* MightMakesRight: They are so firm believers of this ideal that when the likes of Lucan and Kregg first fight against Mark, they don’t care about Mark being clearly against everything Viltrum stands for, they only saw the fact Mark was actually strong enough to survive their combined assault so in their minds Mark proved himself as a viltrumite, regardless of him not caring about any of that; in their eyes Mark would follow their rule given time, or die resisting.
* ProudWarriorRace: Very much so. They venerate and love violence, having a incredibly engrained capacity for it on a genetic level that steered them to completely rebuild their society into one of conquest and violence. Many can overcome this urge with age and positive feedback, but the itch always exists and next to no examples exist of them not relishing combat and bloodshed on some level.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Pure-blooded Viltrumites and half-human hybrids can live for thousands of years and not look it at all.
* SocialDarwinist: Built an entire culture around this mindset that saw most of their weaker and peace loving counterparts dead (which was most of their race). They venerate strength and purity, seeing any weakness or betrayal of their new culture as grounds for immediate execution no matter who or how young they may be (with Viltrumites even getting medals for killing the weak). With those considered “worthy” of being a Viltrumites being measured by their strength and capacity for violence, the greater the capacity the greater the station. However, this is not a species mindset, as their general psychology is next to identical to a humans (with just a lot more built in aggression and Violence), so any of them can be broken of this given enough time and exposure to outside influences.
* TechnologyUplift: Standard procedure for any race they conquer and the justification they use to paint their centuries of conquest in a better light for themselves and prospect targets. To their credit they do their best to help create a paradise for those who go along with their takeovers willingly till they strip the planet bare...but utterly decimate and commit near planetary genocide on those who evenly slightly resist.
* VestigialEmpire: [[spoiler:The Viltrum Empire is in a very weakened state as 99% of their population were killed off by the Scourge virus. The Viltrumites covered up the deaths caused by the virus and keep up empty threats to the Coalition of Planets.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Viltrumites like Anissa and Nolan claimed that planets would be turned into utopias under Viltrumite rule. While it's true on their part until they stripped the planets' resources bare as mentioned above, others like Conquest relished in violent annexation for their enjoyment.

[[folder:Grand Regent Thragg]]
!!Thragg

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_473.png]]

Grand Regent of the Viltrumites, Thragg was trained from birth to be the strongest among them.
----
* AbusiveParent: He uses them as cannon fodder -- sometimes quite literally throwing them at Mark. This comes back to bite him in the ass. When it becomes clear that Mark (the enemy) cares more about Thragg's kids than he does, the kids quickly turn their backs on their father.
* TheAce: A villainous example. Thragg is the strongest Viltrumite in the entire series, trained from birth to be the strongest of all. He's so strong he can fight several Rognarrs by himself and win without trouble. To explain, Rognarrs are one of the few creatures in the universe that can injure and kill Viltrumites. The only ones that can even near his level of strength are Nolan and Mark.
* ArchEnemy: To both Invincible and Omni-Man.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Was raised to meet this expectation. He is easily the Viltrumites greatest fighter, and his position reflects his power is that he is TheDreaded to everyone.
* BadBoss: In contrast to TheGoodKing Omni-Man and Invincible, he has no tolerance for failure and little patience for those who don't commit to their assignments.
* BeastOfBattle: In the final battle, he enters the fray with two Ragnorrs as bodyguards.
* BerserkerTears: [[spoiler: Briefly, when Viltrum is destroyed.]]
* BigBad: Of the entire series.
* ChildSoldiers: Raised his half-Thraxan children as this and was one himself, being born and bred to be the strongest Viltrumite their race had ever seen.
* DeadpanSnarker: Serious most of the time, but Thragg admits he has a sense of humor when "[[SingleStrokeBattle fighting]]" Oliver.
-->'''Thragg''': Stop me if you heard this one (''Maims Oliver with one punch'') Seemed like such a nice boy.
* TheDreaded: All of the remaining Viltrumites are terrified of Thragg with even the battle-hungry Conquest cowering in fear in front of him, while Omni-Man himself is terrified of Thragg and cautiously warns his son Mark against facing him. He swiftly lives up to the reputation once he starts fighting. The fact he even managed [[spoiler: to kill Battle Beast made him even more feared through the verse.]]
* EnemyMine: Is willing to team up with Mark or Nolan to prevent the end of the Viltrumite race.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being an insane and genocidal warmonger, he loved Viltrum and his people and believed the only way for them to survive was under his rule. [[spoiler:He also loved his twin children, Onaan and Ursaal. He was outraged and nearly killed Mark when he killed Onaan and threw his corpse at him, and he hugged Ursaal when she mourned his death.]]
* EvilIsPetty: And how. [[spoiler:After being removed from his status as Regent due to Nolan's more legitimate claim, he has started a war against his own people with an army of children he sired. When Mark finds out the reason, he thinks Thragg is pathetic and alone.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Superman villain General Zod.
* EyeScream: Suffers this during his battle with Battle Beast.
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"The only thing you need to know is that you cannot be allowed to live. You were destined to die from the moment you were... Oh, Hell--"]]
* FreddieMercopy: He's basically what '80s Freddie Mercury would look like if he took steroids.
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: He has killed Thadeus, Battle Beast, Oliver, and finally Nolan by the end of the story. He would have also killed Mark were it not for Eve's powers kicking in.]]
* HurlItIntoTheSun: [[spoiler:Mark hurls himself and Thragg into the sun to render Thragg vulnerable. Robot sending one of his suits to protect Mark grants him a few crucial seconds of protection from the searing heat that Thragg lacks (which neatly illustrates the difference between them -- Mark's enemy is willing to help him while Thragg is alone). After Mark finishes the battle by tearing out Thragg's throat with his teeth, the dying Thragg sinks helplessly into the sun and burns up into nothing.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: At his core, he wants to be the leader of the Viltrumites, and if he's not ([[spoiler:which happens]]), he calls UngratefulBastard on all of them and tries to destroy all of them despite his supposed dedication to preserving their race and culture.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: Simply killing Battle Beast wasn't enough; he skins his hide and ''wears it as a cape'' like some sick form of trophy.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: Perhaps his greatest flaw besides his self-centeredness is his complete lack of empathy for others. His little understanding or care for other people's feelings lead him to underestimate them and fail in his objectives each time.
* MotiveDecay: He went from wanting to conquer other planets, and protect his people regardless of the cost. To wanting revenge on Mark, everyone he loves, and the Viltrumites, the same people he wanted to rule over and was committed to preserving.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's pretty blatantly based on Freddie Mercury.
* NemeanSkinning: [[spoiler:Takes to wearing Battle Beast's pelt as a regal cape after their battle.]]
* TheParagon: In order to be made Regent, Thragg was trained from birth, tempered to be the strongest of the Viltrumites and educated in all manners of combat, being a paragon of the social Darwinist mindset of his people.
* PragmaticVillainy: Although he is still a PsychopathicManChild at his most reasonable, he did listen to Omni-Man and Invincible warnings on how to proceed in day to day life on Earth. He’s also willing to listen to a lesser being, as long as said lesser being gives out good advice. Make no mistake Thragg cares for no one but himself, but who will he have to rule over if he doesn't abide by native customs, nor have any competent servants who know what they will do if he blunders?
* PsychopathicManChild: After being overthrown, Thragg is really nothing more than a pathetic overgrown child throwing a genocidal temper tantrum over not getting what he wants.
* ReallyGetsAround: After getting exiled from Earth and its moon, Thragg makes himself at home on Thraxa, siring dozens if not hundreds of children. [[spoiler:Actually around a thousand or more.]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: The whole point of his war on his ''own people''! He essentially abandoned his commitment to saving his race and culture no matter the costs in favor of killing them all out of spite.
* SocialDarwinist: He is the pinnacle of his cultures beliefs in this. With him believing that only the strongest of the Viltrumites can rule, unaware that the ruler he succeeded was revered for his leadership rather than strength. With his inability to accept this being the greatest motivator for him to betray his own race.
* StrongAndSkilled: He is not only physically stronger than just about all Viltrumites, he's easily one of their most skilled, being a master of combat with next to no equal.
* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:He is the last significant antagonist of the series next to Robot. After he's killed, things mellow out.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:After watching Viltrum get destroyed, a heartbroken and enraged Thragg beats Mark to a pulp while raging that what Invincible and the other Viltrumite traitors have done is worse than anything Thragg and his followers have done. How much of a point he has depends on whether you consider destroying someone's planet worse than being the overlord of an expansionist space empire that routinely engages in mass murder.]]
* WorldsStrongestMan: The strongest Viltrumite, and far out of most characters' league. Omni-Man admits that him and Invincible combined against him is a HopelessBossFight.
* WouldHurtAChild: With gusto. He maimed the teenage Oliver with the intent to kill and Thragg's first act after raising his army was attacking Mark and trying to crush little Terra's skull like a grape.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Conquest]]
!!Conquest
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_503.jpeg]]

Second strongest of the Viltrumites. He is sent to Earth to check on Mark's progress of conquering the Earth.
----
* BloodKnight: He doesn't care about expanding the Viltrumite Empire, he just wants to fight and relishes any chance to do so unlike other Viltrumites.
-->"The truth is, I want you (Mark) to resist. I'm not here because I want to spread the Viltrum Empire. I'm not here because I believe in one cause or the other, or that I'm fulfilling some kind of honorable duty. I'm here because I '''enjoy''' this."
* TheBrute: Thragg made it abundantly clear that his raison d’etre is to fight and kill any threats to the Viltrumites. Thus he serves as the strongest guard dog the Viltrumites have, and typically acts as an expendable brute.
* EvilOldFolks: He's a legendary fighter among the Viltrumites, and because Viltrumites age slower the older they get, the amount of battles he must have been in is terrifying.
* ImAHumanitarian: He seems to relish the idea of eating his dead foes. He threatens to eat Oliver and Mark's hearts once their fight is over, and he licks Eve's blood off his fingers, commenting that he finds it "Delicious."
* ImplacableMan: Easily one of Invincible's most powerful foes and seen as virtually unstoppable, unless the most brutal and primal fighting methods are used against him.
* OldSoldier: Similar to Thaedus he is very old, and a soldier. Though the similarities stop there.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Thragg.
* VillainRespect: Develops it towards Mark, regarding his combat prowess -- though mostly because he likes a good challenge.
* WouldHurtAChild: Is more than eager to try and murder Oliver.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Anissa]]
!!Anissa
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_98325.jpeg]]

Anissa is a female Viltrumite warrior and among the last remaining survivors.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: She became more interested in Mark after [[spoiler:raping him]]. He, by contrast, hates being around her. She eventually gets over it when she falls in love with a human.
* TheAtoner: While she doesn't regret [[spoiler:raping Mark]] since it gave her her son, she is clearly sorry about it and is willing to die to save his wife and make up for what she did.
* BerserkButton: All Viltrumites are quick to turn violent. Something they struggle with and she admitted that she's killed for things less than taunting her.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Oh, so very much and she seems to enjoy it. She acted all nice and helpful in hopes of seducing Mark. When Mark rejects her, she [[spoiler:rapes him]]. When Mark attacks the drone Rex sent to negotiate with the Viltrumite, she pretended to help him up only for him to slap her hand in anger, but her only reaction is to smile. A day later, when Mark is on the Viltrumite warship she sees him and casually greets him and his anger gets the better of him and he grabs her by the throat, shouting at her to "back off". However, she only revealed how much she is enjoying his anger and aggression to the point where she wants to speed up their "next meeting". The shocked Mark let her go and she smiles as Mark denies anything that his father need to know about what happened.
* BoobsOfSteel: One of most powerful female characters in the comic, and the one with the largest and prominent bust.
* BloodKnight: She is shown to consider the fact that she must fight after failing to convince others with her thoughts to be lucky for her. Also, before she [[spoiler:raped]] Mark who tried to make her leave him alone only for her to enjoy the conflict.
* DarkActionGirl: She is super strong, fast, ruthless, cruel and will not hesitate before she kills her enemies. She softens after the TimeSkip, thanks to her MoralityPet.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Nolan tells Mark that she's become a much kinder person while he was missing. Obviously Mark is skeptical since [[spoiler:[[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil she raped him]]]]. Peculiarly, it turns out to be true ([[spoiler:their son]] was an effective MoralityPet), and she eventually dies saving Eve.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: It isn't until the implication she's done something to Mark that she realized [[spoiler:raping]] the son of her leader, who is clearly more powerful than she is, was never a good idea. Cue NeckLift by an enraged PapaWolf.
* DiesWideOpen: [[spoiler:The reason why nobody realized she was dead right away was because her eyes were still open]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: After five years she has a husband, a daughter by him, and son [[spoiler:by Mark due to her raping him five years ago]], all of whom she loves very much.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She tried to convince Mark to accept the Viltrumite ways first and fought him after he refused. Later, Conquest mentions that she would try to convince others unlike him, which mean she is known to try to convince others with the ways of her people instead of fighting first.
* EvilCounterpart: Anissa to Eve. Both of them are after the same guy. However, Eve, who had some problems with Mark leaving for a long time, along with carrying their unborn child in her womb and believing he was dead, was willing to avoid the use of her superpowers to preserve the life of her the baby and sought to bring it into a world free of super-powered violence. Anissa, who fought against Mark before, wants to ensure that she can carry out her mission to birth children in order to save the Viltrumite species, rebuild the empire and doesn't care what Mark wants, and is the opposite sort of mother-to-be: actively embracing aggression and force to ensure the birth of a child to the point of [[spoiler:raping]] Mark after seeing that the "Human's way" of seducing Mark didn't work. Also, Eve gave birth to a daughter, Terra while Anissa [[spoiler:had a boy whom she calls Marky]].
* HeroicSacrifice: Pulls one to try and protect [[spoiler:Mark]] towards the end of the series, whilst [[spoiler:defending Earth]].
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: She enjoys Mark's aggression toward her after she [[spoiler:raped]] him as seen when he grabbed her by the throat. All to the point of admitting that it made her want to speed up their "next meeting".
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Disturbingly [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Anissa after her attempts to seduce Mark using the "earth ways" failed. She resorts to using the physical Viltrumite method [[spoiler: which is rape]].
* {{Irony}}: Big-time.
** [[spoiler:This vile, bloodthirsty rapist becomes a loving mother and wife]].
** [[spoiler:She also ends up HappilyMarried to a human man and having a half-breed daughter with him, despite basically having the ANaziByAnyOtherName mentality in the past]].
** [[spoiler:She ends up laying down her life to defend the Earth from a Viltrumite warlord]].
* KilledOffscreen: When she is last seen she is still alive but wounded, after saving Eve's life, and it is unclear how wounded she actually was. It is revealed she died in between the events of two issues.
* LightIsNotGood: Wears white with silver, but is very much cruel and sadistic.
* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:Eventually starts a family of her own on Earth. She is HappilyMarried to a human man and has daughter with him, while raising Marky as well]]. Mark is understandably deeply sceptical, but it turns out to be correct, and she performs a HeroicSacrifice at the end.
* ManipulativeBitch: ''Oh, so very much.'' She [[spoiler:rapes]] the main character and he is affected to the point where he can't seem to have intimacy with the woman he loves, Eve. Also, Mark starts to shake at the sight of her and can't bring himself to tell his father, who is emperor of the Viltrumite and would certainly punish Anissa for what she did if he found out. He doesn't do or say anything when she whispers "missed you" to him and that is right after the birth of his daughter. Mark was so affected by what happened to the point that he couldn't stay with Eve after the birth of their daughter. Mark started to become more aggressive with Anissa as he grabbed her by the throat in front of his father, whom he told to stay out of it, only to let her go after hearing her admit that she is enjoying his aggression and it makes her want to speed up their "next meeting". Mark is so shocked that he lets her go and when his father ask him if there is something that he should know about, Mark just says "no" twice as he walks away while Anissa smiles.
* MrsRobinson: Though she doesn't look it, she's thousands of years older than Mark, the person she wants to seduce.
* OhCrap: Five years after she [[spoiler:raped Mark]], she got into an altercation with [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Eve]], who had full knowledge of what she did. When Nolan breaks up the fight and hears Eve mention something about the incident, [[PapaWolf he grabs Anissa by the throat and demands to know what she did.]] However, after Mark lies about the rape, Nolan lets her go -- though he eventually figures it out. Then, in the last page, we see her fly home to her husband/lover, Scott and their newborn daughter, displaying an odd sense of humanity. Then, we are introduced to a little boy who resembles a young Mark [[spoiler:and it's later confirmed that he is Mark's son]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: Anissa was born on the Viltrumite home planet, and witnessed the time of king Argall, the purge, the Scourge virus and the rise of Thragg to power which happened thousands of years ago. She looks not that much older than Mark. The Viltrumites age slower as they get older.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:She rapes Mark in Issue 110 and her excuse for that is the Viltrumite mission of procreating with humans in order to save their kind from extinction and she wasn't performing on her end because she didn't want to mate with the humans that reside on Earth. Also that Mark is young and weak, but he has Viltrumite blood running in his veins. She informs a traumatized and crying Mark to "man-up" and that it will probably take a few more times to impregnate her and she will see him soon before flying away. This means she intends to do it again, much to Mark's horror. This event is also the reason why, in Issue 137, Mark doesn't exactly believe his dad when he tells him that she changed for the better during the TimeSkip -- though as it turns out, LoveRedeems]].
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:She dies in battle, trying to protect Mark]].
* RetiredMonster: [[spoiler:Anissa seems to have mellowed within five years, even starting a family with a normal human alongside her [[ChildByRape son through another father]]. That said, it seems no one in her family is aware of what was before and while she is sorry for what she did, she doesn't regret having her son]].
* VillainessesWantHeroes: She wants Mark for her mate because of his half-Viltrumite DNA. [[spoiler:She doesn't care for his consent]].

[[folder:General Kregg]]
!!General Kregg
One of Viltrum’s top enforcers, he is in almost all conflicts the Viltrumites took part in the series, for bad and for good.

* EyeScream: Loses his eye in combat, replaces it with a mechanical implant thereafter.
* EyepatchOfPower: Takes up wearing an eyepatch after blending in human society, covering his bionic eye.
* RankUp: Kregg is the only recurring Viltrumite other than Thragg to have a rank attached to him, as a General he definitely has an extensive body count and conquering accolades on his chest.
* ReallyGetsAround: Takes Thragg’s order to heart later, [[spoiler:he mates with dozens of human women, but he also adopts the new Viltrumite way, fully loving all the women he met and all the children he had; by his own words Kregg had no idea monogamy was mostly the standard on Earth]].
* RecurringCharacter: Is seen on-screen in most of all Viltrumite conflicts in the series, by virtue of [[spoiler:keeping himself alive to the end of the series and beyond; other veteran Viltrumites who also live on don’t have as many appearances as him]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lucan]]
!!Lucan
A mild-mannered Viltrumite, even if capable of being just as barbaric as any other member of his race, sometimes he can be quite sensible.
----
* BaldOfAwesome: The only major Viltrumite who goes fully bald.
* OneTrueLove: Has the record of the fastest converted Viltrumite in the series, [[spoiler:he finds true love on his first try, with a woman he completely devotes himself to, adopting serious monogamous commitment, despite Thragg’s direct orders for mass scale breeding, for she was hurt by her previous lover who had an affair before]].
* TokenMinority: While he isn’t the only black Viltrumite in the series, he is the only one with any plot significance, and a small one at that.

* DefectorFromDecadence: Thaedus is disgusted by the ruthless and evil ways of his own people and chose to rebel against the Empire.
* TheKingslayer: Thaedus is responsible for killing Emperor Argall, which led to the Viltrumite civil war and putting Thragg as Grand Regent.
* ThereIsAnother: He saw himself as the only Viltrumite with the audacity to rebel against the Empire, believing himself to be an anomaly. However, it was not until he learned of Invincible that it could be possible to turn other Viltrumites to the Coalition's cause.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: He's the first Viltrumite to be disgusted by how his people acts during their days as a ruthless empire and thus is also the first one to rebel. Although he takes it one step further by killing the Emperor of the Viltrumites.
* NotSoDifferent
* OffWithHisHead: How he meets his end, having his head torn off by Thragg during the war.
* {{Unperson}}: Thragg erased Thaedus from Viltrumite history for his defection and his assassination of Argall. Then Thragg personally ends Thaedus' existence with his bare hands.

* HeelFaceTurn: Started as blindly obedient to her father, but turns against him after realizing he sees all of his children as being expendable. [[spoiler: When Mark finally decides to liberate Earth from Robot's rule, Ursaal and her remaining siblings side with him without hesitation.]]

----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He has purplish skin because of his mother.
* AssholeVictim: He is killed by Mark while completely helpless, but Eve doesn't mind since he put Terra's life in danger. Even Ursaal thought he was a monster.
* AxCrazy: Onaan was monstrous even by Viltrumite standards. He killed countless people across many worlds, he had a cave full of the corpses of his victims and was perfectly willing to murder entire families, even children.

[[folder:Battle Beast]]
!!Battle Beast (Thokk)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/battle_beast_0.JPG]]

A humanoid lion man named Thokk. He is constantly on the hunt for bigger and more powerful prey.
----
* AxCrazy: He [[AnAxeToGrind wields a literal battle axe]] and is [[BloodKnight murderously]] [[InsaneEqualsViolent insane]]. It says something when Thragg of all people thinks you're this, the paragon of Viltrumite ideals of combat and purity.
* ABeastInNameAndNature: Goes by the moniker Battle Beast, is a shameless BloodKnight and has the appearance of a white, lion-like creature. For good measure, while technically on the side of the heroes, Thokk is only working with them to satisfy his own bloodlust.
* BloodKnight: He lives and breaths combat and essentially sees nothing more important to him than finding worthy opponents to fight to the death with. With his only motivation for helping anyone, villain or hero, being that they can promise him a good fight.
* BlackSheep: He was the result of a program on his homeworld to produce an ultimate champion to protect his otherwise pacifistic people from an unspecified threat. They don't think highly of what he chose to do after the threat was dealt with.
* DeathSeeker: Implied in his search for more dangerous fights. [[spoiler:Eventually finds it courtesy of Thragg, with his final words being to thank him for killing him.]]
* GreatWhiteFeline: Thokk is an alien with leonine features and white fur. He is also one of the most powerful and dangerous beings in the comic.
* HonorBeforeReason: Him claiming he’s seeking a worthy honorable fight isn’t just bluster. When he is fighting [[spoiler: Thragg]], they are gored while dealing with a pair of Rognarr sent to weaken him to help Battle Beast Win, so, in response, Thokk takes his blade and gores himself just as badly. Refusing to even consider fighting him when not on a even playing field despite him being there to fight him in the first place being less about him getting said fight but killing [[spoiler: Thragg]].
* InTheBlood: His blood knight tendencies are implied to be a blood line curse. [[spoiler:Proven true after he is killed by Thragg and his daughter becomes the new Battle Beast.]]
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Played With. It’s rare he’s not shown in a very serious light, but when there is comedy involving him it’s usually paired with his general indifference to killing and maiming just about anything.
* NemeanSkinning: [[spoiler:Becomes the victim of this after his battle with Thragg, becoming a decorative cape fitting for the leader of the Viltrumites.]]
* NoodleIncident: He's introduced working on Earth as a two-bit thug for Machine-Head. Cecil can't make heads or tails of how an Earth-based Mob Boss even could have contacted such a heavy hitter in the first place.
* NominalHero: He only helps the heroes because they're a means to an end for his lust for combat.
* ShoutOut: Likely a reference to the 1980's toyline "Battle Beasts," which were humanoid animal toys in armor and wielding weapons. The connection is furthered by the fact that the flagship character from the line is a white lion.
* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler: After Thragg kills him, his hide is skinned and worn by the Grand Regent like a cape.]]

* GlassCannon: With her staff, she can cause some trouble with her super strength and energy bolts. Without her staff, she goes down easily.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe
* JerkAss: She doesn't care that siphoning energy from a nuclear power plant will cause mass destruction and is willing to kill and maim to get what she wants.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As she is the leader of her planet, she turns out to be this despite initially fighting and being imprisoned. Invincible compromises with her that instead of draining energy from one entire nuclear plant, she absorbs energy from many plants, thereby preventing any meltdowns from occurring and she still gets what she wants.
* StaffOfAuthority: Her Staff of Leadership, also her main weapon.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her royal warrior attire shows off a lot of skin.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She wants to siphon nuclear energy to save her planet, even though absorbing nuclear energy from a nuclear plant would destabilize it and cause mass destruction. She doesn't really care, though she does happily accept a less destructive alternative when Mark puts it to her.

* GoodIsNotNice: They wanted Mark to sacrifice everything, including his daughter Terra, to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong. When Mark, against their expectations, rejected their offer and wanted to return, the aliens were so outraged that they sent him five years into the future, leaving him unable to be with Eve and Terra during her early childhood.
* NoNameGiven: Their species name is not given.
* OurTimeTravelIsDifferent: The aliens send Mark 5 years back in time through a wormhole. Once he rejects them, they send him 5 years forward.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: The reason they sent Mark back in time was because the sheer amount of death and misery that occured during that time had destabilized the universe. Mark's influence and connections made him their last hope to restore the balance and undo the horrors of the last five years. They also admitted they couldn't force Mark to go through with it and allowed him to choose. Unfortunately for them, Mark refused.
* StarfishAliens: They speak English mentally, but they have ethereal bluish string-like bodies and seem to not always be physically there.
* TheNeedsOfTheMany: They try to convince Mark to stay in the new timeline, telling him that by changing the past, he'll save countless lives. They hoped that Mark would be selfless enough to agree with them, accept it and move on. They didn't count in the fact that he'd be unable to bear that his life was even worse than in the old timeline and that Terra wouldn't exist in it as Atom Eve never broke up with Rex.
* WhatTheHellHero: They give this to Mark after he decides to go back to the future instead of fixing the past. They berate him, saying he could have fixed everything that had gone wrong in his life and by not staying will cause more death and destruction. The aliens are outraged that he'd be willing to let things stay wrong and potentially doom the universe just to ensure Terra wouldn't cease to exist and out of spite, they returned him to his timeline... [[TimeSkip Five years after they abducted him.]]

* SharpDressedMan: What he looks like after [[spoiler:he takes over the world]].

* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Robot spends the majority of his villainous turn trying to convince everyone, especially Mark, that he's right. Several heroes surrender to agree with him, Allen's allies won't attack Earth because they agree with him, and by #142, Mark does agree... before he punches a hole through him, reducing him to a brain in a jar and noting that Robot has some brilliant ideas, but they need to be filtered and implemented by someone with a conscience, such as the Immortal, who, abrasive personality aside, is one of the most consistently righteous characters in the series]].

A few months after Monster Girl and Robot departed the Flaxan Dimension, confident that they had done enough to change their society to an extent they’d never invade again, he and his newly minted Flaxan empire appeared. Leading the most brutal and effective Flaxan invasion to date, it took most of Earth's active heroes to take him and his army down. [[spoiler: He is in reality the son of Monster Girl and the Late Zall Zaxal, the last female heir of the Zaxal royal family.

* HumungousMecha: Robot sometimes uses much larger suits for combat.

** Her powers drawm from matter in her body, but when she's pregnant, that can mean that her powers either take away nutrients from the unborn or use the unborn itself as fuelf or her powers, which means that she can't user her powers during pregnancy without risking the unborn.

* PregnantHostage[=/=]ImperiledInPregnancy: When she was pregnant, she couldn't use her powers against [[spoiler:Robot holding her hostage to get Mark and her during his conquest of the world]] because using power during pregnancy would endanger her unborn child (see "NecessaryDrawback" entry). She had to use her powers anyway to escape, lost [[AnArmAndALeg her leg in the process]] and had to stay in the hospital for while after giving birth (her child, Terra, wasn't harmed in course of the ordeal, though, and was born healthy).

* NecessaryDrawback: The mental locks placed on Eve made her a more grounded super powered being who must decide carefully on how to use her powers, if not she would be exactly like [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Dr. Manhattan]], automatically becoming the strongest character in the series by far; that limited Eve to only use the best of her abilities, bypassing the lock, only through extreme mental and physical trauma forced on her.

* RoboticReveal: At some point in the past his human body was destroyed while on a mission and replaced with a robotic one. Only 98% of his body is machine.
