History Characters / InvincibleTheGraysonFamily

* BaddieFlattery: Does this a bit.
* BloodKnight: Constantly has to deal with this in later issues [[spoiler:due to his Viltrumite DNA]].

* HappilyMarried: To Atom Eve, [[spoiler:500 years later, they're still this]].

* KillTheHostBody: Deconstructed. The Sequids uses Rus Livingston's body to attack a city on Earth. Invincible is aware of the threat the Sequids poses if they manage to possess multiple human beings. Invincible decides that the best way to quickly stop the Sequids before they cause more damage in the future is to kill Rus Livingston. Invincible kills Rus Livingstone by punching his head off his body to defeat the Sequids. However, [[WhatTheHellHero Robot shames Invincible]] [[ShootTheDog for what he has done and that they could have defeated the Sequids in another way without harming Rus Livingston.]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Invincible's actions causes him to question his own morals]] and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leave the battle against the Sequids.]] Luckily, he is later comforted by Cecil Stedman and Eve.

* 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.
* ManBitesMan: He will not hesitate to bite his opponent when in a pinch, as he did with Onaan and [[spoiler:Thragg, ripping out the latter's throat.]]

** In Onaan's case, Mark kills him by crushing his neck into pastes when Thragg refuses to give him back his daughter and doesn't believe he'd actually go through with killing as a hero.
* PapaWolf: Towards [[spoiler:Terra]].

* RetiredBadass: [[spoiler:After his daughter is born]].

* TorsoWithAView: Invincible gets his stomach blown open by Conquest's fist during their rematch. Luckily, with the help of Oliver and Nolan, Invincible was able to survive his giant stomach hole to join the Viltrumite War.
* TotallyRadical: [[spoiler:After finding out Eve is technically immortal]].

* 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.

* VictoryByEndurance: He gets Conquest killed by strangling the latter on the neck. To do so, Invincible needed to tightly grip Conquest's neck while also enduring a barrage of punches from the latter.

** When Thragg and the latter's children attack his family, Mark tries to reason with Thragg by saying that he will spare his children only if he leaves. However, Thragg instead insults Mark's ideals, which makes Mark realize that ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption. In retaliation, Mark breaks Onaan's neck and then fights Thragg.

* WeakButSkilled: The main timeline of his world results in his body growing stronger through each battle he survives. Surviving the battles that have put his body into life-threatening injuries have caused him to get stronger in both skill and strength. However, when Mark is transported into the Reboot timeline, he has all skills of the battles he had fought, but his younger body lacks stregnth. When he fights the Reboot version of Omni-Man, Mark would have probably beaten him if he had his full stregnth, but his younger body limits him into needing help from the Guardians of the Globe.

* 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.
* FlyingBrick: His powerset.

* SupermanSubstitute: At first, anyway. Then he turned out to be

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

* ArcVillain: The main villain of Season 1.

* ArchEnemy: Considers Angstrom Levy to be his.

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.

* 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]].

* MayflyDecemberRomance: He is thousands of years old and romances Debbie who is a normal human. He later dates a sentient praying mantis alien who only lives for 9 months.

* 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]].

* SupermanSubstitute: At first, anyway.

* 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 honorable, and balanced man -- though he still prefers living off-Earth. [[spoiler: Later defied. After nearly endangering Earth with the Scourge Virus in an attempt to kill the Viltrumites and accidentally shooting Mark with the Scourge Virus, Oliver Grayson becomes remorseful of how actions. He learns what his reckless behavior of [[TheNeedsOfTheMany wanting to do the greater good]] had strained the relationship with his father and had nearly killed his brother. He [[TookALevelInKindness takes a level in kindness]] to [[TheAtoner atone for his reckless behavior]] and he makes it clear to Mark that he will never be the [[IHatePastMe same person as he was before.]]]]

* 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.

* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:After nearly getting Mark killed by poisoning him with the Scourge Virus, Oliver becomes [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone remorseful of his actions]] and strives to better himself in the future. At Talescria, Oliver and Mark meet each other again and Oliver becomes a much more jovial person during their interaction. He abandons his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold jerkish qualities]] and becomes a kind, loving uncles to Terra.]]

** 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 fuel for her powers, which means that she can't use her powers during pregnancy without risking wellbeing of the unborn.
* PregnantHostage: 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.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Her mom is a human with transmutation powers, her dad is half-human, half-Viltrumite. However, that's just on paper, biologically Terra is almost a pure blooded Viltrumite, real biology goes out of the window with just how absurdly dominant Viltrumite genes are, completely overtaking someone who should be a quarter Viltrumite at best under a realistic heritage.

* LethalChef: Mark gets terrible indigestion from the meal she prepares him. At first he assumes it's just the product of ingesting an AlienLunch, but a doctor assures him that Viltrumites can digest just about anything. Haluma's just a terrible cook.

* WidowWoman: [[spoiler: After Oliver's death.]]

!!Markus "Marky" Murphy
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/markus_murphy.jpg]]

Marky is Anissa's son.

* BastardAngst: Eventually gets this. He is full of self-hatred over being a [[spoiler:ChildByRape]] and envious of Terra being born out of love and spending the most time with their father. [[spoiler:It's implied he briefly becomes a supervillain over it.]] He and his dad patch things up, eventually, with his dad assuring him that he doesn't hold it against him.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He put his trust in both Titan and Dinosaurus, particularly in thinking that he can guide the amoral talents of Dinosaurus to more productive ends, with disastrous results. Even Cecil, someone who's [[WellIntentionedExtremist used the talents of captured villains towards his own ends]], has criticized Mark for what transpired with Dinosaurus.

* KnewItAllAlong: [[spoiler:Mark knew that Robot would eventually go full mask-off after conquering the Earth, and even though Mark was forced to accept his rule, it wasn't until issue #141 that he's proven right. When Robot kidnaps all the half-Viltrumite children on Earth, forcing the Viltrumite parents to turn against Mark under the threat of harm coming to their children.]]

* ManBitesMan: Doesn't hesitate to bite his opponent when in a pinch, as he did with Onaan and [[spoiler:Thragg, ripping out the latter's throat in the process.]]
* MistakenForMasturbating: His mother thought once he wasn't just sitting on the loo, having a dump and reading a comic, but also wanking.

** In Rus Livingston case, Invincible kills him through decapitation when the Sequids won't let go of Rus Livingston's body. However, by killing Rus Livingston, Invincible is scolded by Robot, with the latter saying that the Sequids could have been defeated without harming Rus Livingston.
** In Onaan's case, Mark kills him by decapitation when Thragg insults his ideals and refuses to give him back his daughter.

* PunchParry: Being filled with rage from Conquest [[spoiler: stabbing Atom Eve with his hand, Invincible musters up the strength to charge at him. On the other hand, Conquest charges at Invincible, intending to deliver a powerful punch in his face. In retaliation to Conquest's charging punch, Invincible himself delivers his own punch that is so powerful that it ends up destroying his own arm and Conquest's cybernetic arm.]]

* TorsoWithAView: Invincible gets his stomach blown open by Conquest's fist during their second fight with each other. Luckily, with the help of Oliver and Nolan, Invincible was able to survive his giant stomach hole to join the Viltrumite War.

* NeckLift: Mark holds Onaan's neck while he negotiates with Thragg to let Terra live. However, when Mark's heroic ideals are insulted and when Thragg refuses to cooperate with him, Mark turns his Neck Lift on Onaan as a way to decapitate the latter's neck.

!!Omni-Man (Nolan Grayson)

* HeroesWantRedheads: Has this with Atom Eve.

* MistakenForMasturbating: His mother thought he wasn't just sitting on the loo, having a dump and reading a comic, but also wanking.

[[folder:Marky Murphy]]

* SuperpowerLottery: Immortality from natural death, the ability to create energy weapons and force fields, flight, and regeneration when near death.

* 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, 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]].

* 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).
