History Characters / InvincibleSuperheroes

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:They might be the greatest SuperTeam in the world, but they prove to be no match for Omni-Man, who kills them all effortlessly. Though to be fair, they were caught entirely off guard by Omni-Man who suddenly attacked them from behind.]].

* MayflyDecemberRomance: Has one with Dupli-Kate, who becomes the mother to his children.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: His FlyingBrick abilities, coupled with his immortality, would make him one of Earth's heaviest hitters. Too bad there are Viltrumites like Omni-Man and Invincible who are even stronger and faster than he is, not to mention a lot more durable.

* 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 hardly comparable to the power he once held.

* 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 recognized this, as his bad first impression lingered.

* {{Expy}}: of ComicBook/{{Gambit}}.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Detonated his entire skeleton in an attempt to kill the Viltrumite he was battling]].

* LaserGuidedKarma: He hurt Eve by cheating on her with Dupli-Kate, with Eve walking in on them and finding out about it. Later on, he would walk in on [[spoiler: Dupli-Kate with the Immortal in a similar manner Eve walked in on his cheating]].

* GoodIsNotNice: Actively kills criminals, unlike his predecessor, to the point he was more like a serial killer than a superhero.

* 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.

* PostFinalBoss: Though he's fought after Thragg, he's quickly defeated by Mark and his allies, with his downfall serving to tie up any remaining loose ends on Earth.

* InterspeciesRomance: Had an affair with a Flaxian woman named Zall, and with her monster form even sired a child with her.

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 his girlfriend, and he accidentally kills them in self-defense.

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: [[spoiler:To Invincible]].

* 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.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When Robot is defeated, he willingly surrenders to the resistance.

* TwoFaced: [[spoiler:What he becomes after Robot's uprising. He refuses to get surgery out of guilt]].
* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* InvincibleVillain: Seems to become this when he took over the world, everything works in his favor. He killed off most of the superheroes and supervillains 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. 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.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: After his FaceHeelTurn, 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 overplays his hand in Issue 141, however, with even his allies turning on him.

After Robot and Monster Girl end up in the Flaxan's home dimension, Cecil realizes that the Guardians' roster is spread too thin and his usual method of filling vacant spaces with one or two new heroes isn't efficient enough. Thus, he decides on a new method: gathering up as many new heroes from across the world as he can find to create a roster of heroes so they're never caught off guard. These members are the result.

* RidiculouslyHumanRobot

* 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]].

%% * TerseTalker: Speaks short sentences. Bare minimum needed to get point across. Borders on HulkSpeak at points.

* 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.

* ControlFreak: 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 who's 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.

* LaserGuidedKarma: 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, and the woman he loves finally giving up on him. Probably his only consolation is the fact that he can still help mankind using his knowledge.

* BigBreastPride: [[spoiler:During her time in the Flaxan dimension she physically matures to adulthood and is quite proud of her chest. [[BuxomBeautyStandard 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]]]].

-->'''Anissa:''' "What the HELL, Unopan!? My fourth husband couldn't hit me that hard!"

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: He not only manages to survive his fight with an alternate Invincible, but also survive the Shadowverse and its dangerous inhabitants for over a decade.]]

* WonderWomanWannabe: Based mainly on ComicBook/WonderWoman and [[ComicBook/NewGods Big Barda]], with a few aspects of [[Thor ComicBook/TheMightyThor]].
