* SignatureScene: There's arguably many in the first season, but these two have the biggest claim to it.

** [[spoiler: Thaedus ripping off his beard to reveal himself as a Viltrumite is treated as a big deal for Allen, but to the audience, a character revealing themselves to be a Viltrumite through a beard rip looks too ridiculous to to take seriously. In the comics this is known as the "toolok pull" and the reason its' a big deal is because Thaedus ripped off a ''real beard'' without wincing to show he was a Viltrumite. However without that context in the show it looks like he just pulled off a fake beard, adding to the silliness.]]

** Agent Spider from the season 2 finale quickly became a fan-favorite for being [[LawyerFriendlyCameo the closest thing]] viewers will get to an adaptation of Invincible's crossover with ComicBook/SpiderMan and also being voiced by Creator/JoshKeaton in a technical RoleReprisal of his portrayal of Spidey from ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''. Some have even said that Agent Spider should even get his own spin-off series.

** [[spoiler:Thaedus dramatically ripping off his beard off to reveal a Viltrumite mustache beneath is quite funny and fits with the generally comedic tone of the Seth Rogen-led Allen the Alien segments]].

* NarmCharm: Machine Head's voice. They opted to give him AutoTune, thus his threatening demeanor is undercut by making some of his words end up singing. A lot of people love this because it gives him a unique charm.

* NeverLiveItDown: Amber's actions in Episode 6 became this in hindsight after the revelation in Episode 7 that [[spoiler:she had known for a couple of weeks that Mark was Invincible, and that it didn't make her less mad at him because he was still not a good boyfriend to her and didn't respect her enough to tell her the truth]]. In light of this, a portion of the fanbase gives her even more flak than they do for [[spoiler:[[AbusiveParent Omni-]][[FantasticRacism Man]]]], for her angry reaction to him in Episode 6 and 7 since there [[spoiler:she knew full well that Mark had been saving lives at considerable risk to his own, and still thought the most appropriate response was to pretend to think he was a coward]].

* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Atom-Eve is interpreted by some fans to be autistic, or at least autistic-coded, as, when she was younger, she could avoid eye contact for those who she doesn't know. She's also incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to science, namely with atoms. She also is seen as pretty weird, especially to her parents.

* BaseBreakingCharacter:
** Amber. While her frustrations with Mark are understandable at first, as Mark constantly disappears without any explanation to go and do hero work, then comes Episode 7, where she reveals that she knew Mark was a superhero for a couple weeks now, which completely reframes some of her past moments of anger with him, and firmly splits the fanbase in two. On the one hand, there is a crowd of fans who still think she is justified in her anger at Mark, and who would still prefer to see Mark in a relationship with her compared to Eve or someone else, see how Mark is fighting to be in a relationship with her despite his hero work, and see her coming round at the end of the season as her redemption for the season's constant misunderstandings, and think of her positively for it. On the other hand, the other section of fans believe she is a toxic influence on Mark, constantly angry at him specifically because he put his duty as a superhero before her (despite the fact that him not standing her up would have resulted in the death of hundreds if not thousands of people ''which she is perfectly aware of''), lecturing him about trust despite knowing he was a hero to begin with, and for only welcoming him back after Mark got beaten to a bloody pulp by Omni-Man. Then there are those in the middle who believe both sides are flawed. Amusingly even in the second season, where she's noticeably much more understanding and supportive toward Mark her character is still hotly debated. Now fans are split between being happy about her CharacterDevelopment or being mad that the writers are apparently attempting damage control.

** Angstrom Levy is another case. While he is portrayed as a bad guy and in the wrong, the show paints him as a traumatized and [[MisplacedRetribution misguidedly vengeful]] TragicVillain at best and a [[EvilIsPetty petty]] EvilGenius at worst. However, given that his whole plan consisted of tormenting and killing the '''only''' Invincible in the multiverse who is NOT a homicidal supervillain (going as far as ''targeting his innocent family'') and ended in him [[spoiler:getting rather unceremoniously beaten to death by Mark]], ''many'' fans see Levy as a completely psychotic idiot who ''horribly'' antagonized an "enemy" who otherwise meant him no harm and against who he had [[CurbStompBattle zero chance against]]. As a result, a lot of viewers downright '''cheered''' as [[spoiler:[[CatharsisFactor Mark killed him]]]], as horryfing as it is portrayed.

** Mark also counts because of things like [[spoiler: what happened in both finales of seasons 1 and 2.]]

* TheWoobie: Debbie Grayson. Her husband growing increasingly cold and harsh after their son's powers surface is just the tip of the iceberg for her. During the series, she has to deal with first her husband and then their own young son (despite their superhuman durability) being hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Almost all the Guardians of the Globe, people she was friends with, get massacred except for her husband, and [[spoiler:she later finds conclusive proof to her horror that her husband was the perpetrator of the entire massacre. When Nolan's true purpose on Earth is revealed, the man she loved for two decades and had her son with denounces her as simply a pet to him, while she hears everything via a live video feed, and when the dust settles, Nolan has left Earth after viciously fighting their son to the point that Mark is left with hospitalizing injuries]]. Is it any wonder she's sobbing in private at the season's end?

** [[spoiler: Shrinking Rae's survival]] in Season 2, Episode 6, is debated as a waste of tension that lowers the stakes of major characters surviving moments where they [[spoiler: should have died]], or an opportunity to expand her character by being [[spoiler: SparedByTheAdaptation]].
