Bolo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/boloform.png
Voiced by: Keith David

The one Titan to rebel against his fellows and imprison them all in Final Space, himself included. He's been aiding Nightfall in her attempts to set history right through time travel.


  • Alien Blood: He bleeds yellowish-green blood when wounded, similar to Oreskis but unlike some of the other Titans.
  • Alliance with an Abomination: He's the Abomination in this equation, as a planet-sized, multi-armed eldritch being from the dawn of the universe who has entire pocket dimensions composing sections of his brain. He was originally responsible for reaching out to Nightfall and persuading her to Set Right What Once Went Wrong. In the present, Bolo also persuades the Team Squad to free him from his prison so they can all access Final Space (Bolo so he can end the threat of his evil brethren for good, the Team Squad so they can rescue Quinn), although after they do get in, the Team Squad are ambivalent about having anything to do with Bolo's quest to save the multiverse.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Tears one of his arms off while under the effect of Invictus' corruption during "The Chamber of Doubt", to the Team Squad's shock. He has three on each side though, so it's not as big a loss as one might think.
  • Baritone of Strength: A given when voiced by Keith David. He's a being of god-like power with a suitably deep voice.
  • BFS: Is shown summoning a skyscraper-sized sword with the help of Mooncake in a teaser for the upcoming third season. Said sword, Titanslayer, is forged at the end of Season 3's second episode.
  • Big Good: He's the only Titan who turned against his fellows to save our universe from their destruction. Even though they imprisoned and punished him for it, he's still aiding the heroes, first by helping Nightfall achieve time travel, then by meeting with Gary and giving him vital information.
  • Blue Is Heroic: He is primarily colored in dark and light blue and he turned against his kind to save the universe.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: He has a creepy skull-like face and helps the heroes however he can.
  • Death by Irony: Bolo killed Oreskis by dealing a crippling blow to his body, then having Mooncake destroy his head to finish him off. Bolo himself dies in a similar fashion, being impaled through the belly by the Lord Commander, who then finishes him off by tearing his head off.
  • Defector from Decadence: According to Nightfall, the Titans were monstrosities, each in charge of a different realm, and Bolo broke ranks to stop their destructive ways. Subverted as it's later revealed that all the Titans were originally benevolent but Bolo was the only one who avoided being corrupted by Invictus.
  • Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?: Bolo summons Gary into his mind to have a talk about Gary's anxieties, before sending him back in time to meet with his father.
  • Fluffy the Terrible: Let's face it, Bolo isn't exactly an intimidating name for a Titan.
  • Gentle Giant: Sure, he's a super-powerful eldritch being, but other than that, he's very peaceful and enlightened, and more than willing to help any being crossing ways with him.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: He holds off the Lord Commander who has gained a Titan form long enough for the Galaxy Two crew to (just barely) escape, at the cost of Bolo getting his head ripped off.
  • Jerkass Ball: After escaping his eons-long imprisonment, in Season 3 he briefly deceives Mooncake into believing Gary has died so Mooncake will help him kill Oreskis for Bolo's own selfish revenge. Mooncake and Gary call him out on how uncool this was when they learn of the deception, and Bolo admits after claiming his revenge that he was at fault. He's still a pretty chill guy apart from this one incident though.
  • Large Ham: Ever since his first appearance, Bolo has always been quiet, soft spoken and stoic to the point his face never changes expression. After he is freed in the Season 2 finale, the first thing he does is yelling "I'M FREE!!!" at the top of his lungs and then proceed to spend most of his screen time from then on roaring, dropping a Badass Boast and channeling his inner Anime by throwing the Crimson Light out of the collapsing Inner Space while yelling "TITAN... SPEED!!!". Also, he's... well... large.
  • Mushroom Samba: Apparently went through a "cookie phase" in his younger years as a side-effect of some hallucinogenic stars provided to him by the Mindscape Guardian. In his subconscious, it manifests as him having a cookie for a head and spouting nonsensical proverbs.
  • Not So Above It All: Even a god-like being from beyond space and time finds KVN annoying. When Gary tries to find a loophole in the "someone must die in order for Bolo to be freed" rule, Gary suggests sacrificing KVN, with Bolo himself admitting with a chuckle that it was the very first option he thought of.]] He also isn't above calling Oreskis a "frickin' dickbag" and ranting about how he seduced Bolo's girlfriend and infected her with "Upipi-ums" (a Titan STD) which she then gave to Bolo.
  • Off with His Head!: The Lord Commander apparently kills him by ripping his head off.
  • Perpetual Frowner: His face seems to be almost stuck in a perpetual frown, even when he is audibly in an otherwise joyful mood. The only time where he can be seen smiling is in "Until the Sky Falls" when he transports Gary and Quinn out of the relay tower.
  • Sealed Good in a Can: In retribution for imprisoning them all in Final Space, his fellow Titans imprisoned Bolo in a gigantic, transparent cube.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Only has a major role in "Chapter Eight" but serves an integral role to the show's plot. Moreso in Season 2, where he makes several small but important appearances in the beginning. By the season finale, he is finally free and vows to take the fight to Final Space so Invictus can be destroyed once and for all, then finally moves out of this trope entirely in Season 3.
  • Sophisticated as Hell: You wouldn't really expect a wise, timeless being to describe a fellow Titan as a "frickin' dickbag"... Yet he does. He also calls Mooncake his homeslice in Season 3.
  • Strange Minds Think Alike: Gary's first thought when he finds out that he needs to sacrifice someone to release Bolo is to call for KVN and ask him to do it. Bolo says that was his first thought too, but it wouldn't work.
  • That's No Moon: The first time he manifests to Nightfall, he takes the form of his face partially manifesting on the moon of the planet she's on.
  • Token Heroic Orc: According to Quinn, the Titans became terrible, vengeful creatures that poison the universe with chaos. Bolo is the only one that escaped that fate and sacrificed himself to stop his brethren from ravaging our universe. He continues to assist our universe despite his imprisonment. However it's ultimately Subverted as the Titans were actually (mostly) benevolent before Invictus poisoned their minds and corrupted them all.
  • Walking Spoiler: The Titan race are spoilers enough on their own, but a benevolent one backing Nightfall and the heroes is definitely surprising.
  • We Used to Be Friends: His final words to Oreskis after killing him are "Goodbye, old friend". Implying that both were close friends before Oreskis betrayed him and then joined Invictus.
  • The Worf Effect: The Lord Commander effortlessly murders him mere moments after fusing with Earth's Titan. And if the final scene of the episode is any indication, the outcome wouldn't have been any different even if Bolo had tried to put up a fight.
  • Your Size May Vary: Bolo's actual size is very inconsistent; some scenes depict him as being roughly as tall as a mountain, while in others he is larger than planets or even stars. Though given the nature of the Titans and the reason why they were created, it's very possible that they can alter their size at will. This turns out to be the case; in the Season 3 episode "The Hidden Light", he makes himself large enough to hold a star in the palm of his hand and, in a later episode, he shrinks himself down to human size to interact with Gary.

    Oreskis 

Oreskis

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oreskus.png

A Titan who claims he can help Sheryl Goodspeed rescue John from Final Space.


  • Alien Blood: Like Bolo, and unlike some of the other Titans, he bleeds green blood.
  • The Corruptible: He was apparently already an asshole before Invictus corrupted him and the other Titans. In the flashback when the Arachnitects are explaining the full story of the Titans' corruption, while the Titan behind Oreskis seems to resist Invictus' taint once infected, Oreskis just "goes with it".
  • Defiant to the End: After being heavily weakened by Bolo, he growls "Bring it" and lifts his sword for one last defense, before Bolo delivers the last couple blows which end their fight.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: He is first introduced very briefly in "Arachnitects" during a flashback.
  • Evil Former Friend: It's revealed he was this to Bolo during their fight, and it's implied that what happened with Jill led to their falling out before Invictus corrupted Oreskis.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: He's a manipulative and loyal servant of Invictus, and he also gave Bolo's first love Jill a Titan STD before Invictus corrupted the Titans. How deep is his voice, you ask? Well, let's put it this way, his voice is provided by the same guy who voices old Kratos in God of War (PS4) and God of War Ragnarök.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He's quite polite if not chummy toward Sheryl, Bolo and Mooncake when he interacts with each of them (except for when Jill comes up) — even when he's unnerving Mooncake by alluding to Invictus' plans for the latter to his face, and even when he's about to either corrupt Bolo or kill him for defying Invictus.
  • Given Name Reveal: His name isn't revealed until "Descent Into Darkness".
  • Jerkass: According to Bolo, he was a "frickin' dickbag" even before Invictus poisoned his mind.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Not only did he seduce Bolo’s first love Jill into having an affair with him but he also deceived Sheryl Goodspeed into collecting dimensional keys for him by lying to her about Bolo’s morality.
  • Monochromatic Eyes: His eyes seemingly don't have any visible poupils, compared to Bolo's eyes which appear to have giant pupils.
  • Off with His Head!: Mooncake deals the killing blow by vaporizing his head after Bolo mortally wounds him. Oreskis is thus the first major Titan to fall.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: He has glowing, dark-red eyes in contrast to Bolo's bright-green eyes.
  • Skull for a Head: His face looks like (and might actually be) an inexpressive iron mask in the image of a skull.
  • Spanner in the Works: Downplayed since as a servant of Invictus it wouldn't be out of the realm of what he would seek to accomplish, but Oreskis unknowingly sets up the events of "The Chamber of Doubt" and the "death" of Fox - a major factor into Ash's downward spiral and disillusion with the Team Squad - by giving Bolo a nasty, infectious wound that drives him insane.
  • Suddenly Voiced: After first appearing as a silent cameo in "Arachnitects", Oreskis speaks for the very first time at the end of "The Set Up".
  • Unreliable Narrator: In "Decent Into Darkness" he claims that Bolo is evil. However, he could be lying, because in his first appearance, he was shown being corrupted by Invictus.
  • Villainous Legacy: Although he's killed early on in Season 3, his battle with Bolo has lasting consequences. A wound that he dealt Bolo during their battle infects Bolo with Invictus' essence the next time Bolo appears, leading the Team Squad to try and help Bolo, which starts a chain of events that enable Invictus to manipulate Ash into making a Face–Heel Turn and ultimately freeing it.
  • Walking Spoiler: Not only is he the Titan that told Sheryl to collect the keys, he also reveals that Bolo might not really be the Big Good after all. He's lying. Bolo even goes as far as to complain about him as a "frickin' dickbag." For good reason.
  • We Used to Be Friends: After being killed by Bolo, the latter mournfully calls him an old friend while saying goodbye. Implying that both were close friends before he betrayed Bolo and then joined Invictus.

    The Incubating Titan (Spoilers Unmarked!

The Incubating Titan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fs_incubatingtitan.png

An unborn Titan incubating deep within Earth's core. The Lord Commander successfully merges with it, taking control of its body and twisting it into a monstrous, Titan version of himself.


  • Diabolus ex Machina: A Titan incubating within Earth's core is already bad news, but it gets worse when the Lord Commander fuses with it.
  • Eye Awaken: Its giant, yellow eyes snap open when the Lord Commander begins to merge with it.
  • Fetus Terrible: Whether or not he would have been possessed by Invictus like the other Titans or remained benevolent like Bolo, the fact that the Earth is his "egg" means that he's bound to destroy it from the inside out when he hatches. Of course, this is what ends up happening.
  • Flat Character: By virtue of, y'know, not being born yet. When the Lord Commander merges with it, he takes control of its body, wiping any mind the Incubating Titan could have had.
  • Fusion Dance: Just as it is about to hatch, the Lord Commander merges with the unborn Titan and takes control of its body.
  • Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: At no point was it foreshadowed that a Titan was incubating within Earth's core. Whether it started growing after the Earth was pulled into Final Space or if it was always there to begin with is left ambiguous. The events of "The Dead Speak" seem to imply the latter, however.
  • Me's a Crowd: Every version of Earth pulled into Final Space is used to incubate Titans, which is shown to have made a whole breeding facility for them.
  • No Name Given: It doesn't have a name. Then again, it's an unborn fetal-like creature.
  • Planetary Parasite: It's physically using the planet Earth as its egg to incubate. Once the Lord Commander merges with it, the adult Titan they form physically breaks the planet apart to emerge.
  • Walking Spoiler: It's hard to mention this Titan without revealing that the Lord Commander merges with it in order to become a Titan himself.

Arachnitects

    Jeremy 

Jeremy

Voiced by: John DiMaggio

Jeremy is one of the Arachnitects, and so far the only member of the species whose name has been revealed.


  • Endearingly Dorky: An immortal being as old as the Universe itself (which he actually *helped* create), but he gets fanboy-levels of excitement from Bolo's Badass Boast at the end of Season 2.
  • Special Person, Normal Name: And how! Being an Arachnitect, Jeremy is basically a Physical God that contributed to the creation of the Universe itself... Yet he has an incredibly mundane name.

Other Entities

    Werthrent 

Werthrent

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fireserpent_finalspace.png
Voiced by: Tobias Conan Trost

A gigantic fire serpent worshipped on Ash's homeworld.


  • And I Must Scream: The ultimate fate of everyone who are consumed by it; they're kept alive forever so Worthrent can gain nourishment from their life energy. When Gary and co. destroy Worthrent from the inside, it's practically a Mercy Kill for all the victims involved.
  • Animalistic Abomination: It looks like a demonic serpent, and it feeds on people which it transports to another dimension to absorb their wellness.
  • Bad People Abuse Animals: If you look carefully at the tortured zombies in Werthrent's stomach dimension, one of them is a small animal resembling a cat, possibly some poor fool's pet that was sacrificed to Werthrent in the hopes it would have a joyous afterlife. Thank God the Team Squad rid the world of this vile snake.
  • Arch-Enemy: To Ash. He's the source of most of her issues and she despises him for devouring her sister.
  • Creator Cameo: Producer Tobias Conan Trost lends his voice to Werthrent's sole scene with dialogue.
  • Dark Messiah: It is worshipped as a benevolent god on Serepentis, but is anything but.
  • Defeat Equals Explosion: It explodes into gory bits once the Team Squad takes the dimensional key inside of its heart.
  • Evil Is Bigger: It is one of the biggest creatures on the show who isn't a Titan.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: It has a deep voice that emphasizes its terrible nature.
  • Glowing Eyes of Doom: When he reveals himself, he has glowing red eyes.
  • Hate Sink: It is shown to be a highly despicable god who cares nothing about those who worship him and demands sacrifice from them. He turns those who offer their lives to him into mindless zombies and did this to Ash’s sister Harp.
  • Jerkass Gods: It doesn't just accept human sacrifices, it demands them. And the conditions in which the people inside are kept in are disgusting in every sense of the word.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Just like Lord Commander and Invictus, almost nothing about this guy is played for laughs with his actions being some of the darkest in the show for a Monster of the Week.
  • Monochromatic Eyes: His Glowing Eyes of Doom are pupiless.
  • Monster of the Week: Of "The Grand Surrender".
  • Playing with Fire: It has several fire powers. It spews fire that can work as a portal to a dimension inside of it.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Has glowing red eyes, and he's listed on the YMMV page as a Complete Monster for a reason.
  • Snakes Are Sinister: It is a gigantic fire serpent and perhaps the vilest creature in the entire show (aside from the Lord Commander).
  • Spell My Name With An S: Werthrent's name has been misspelled by fans numerous times with one misspelling coming out at "Worthred". The correct name for this character can be seen in the subtitles for "The Grand Surrender".
  • Would Hurt a Child: Even children aren't spared in Werthrent's sacrifices, and it will gladly drain them like any other being.

    Invictus 

Invictus

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/invictus.png
Its astral projection form
Its sealed form
Its true form (SPOILERS)
Voiced by: Vanessa Marshall

An ancient, malevolent deity who corrupted the Titans and is the Lord Commander's assumed master.


  • The Ageless: It has existed since the creation of the universe, wanting to destroy the Beings of Unimaginable Light and their creations.
  • All There in the Manual: A lot of information about Invictus has only been revealed by the show's creator or other staff members.
  • Ambiguous Gender: Or possibly even irrelevant. Referred to as "it" by most dialogue and by Word of God, but speaks in an (extremely gravelly) female voice while in its original form.
  • Ancient Evil: Before it was sealed away, Invictus has been around since the beginning of the universe and seemingly even predates it. This nigh-omnipotent "space demon" is also a gleeful, depraved Omnicidal Maniac, it's responsible for the Titans' corruption into destructive monsters and also for the perpetuation of the Lord Commander's and Order of the Twelve's heinous acts, and it's arguably the single most evil being in the entire show (which is no easy feat when looking at the select competition).
  • Arch-Enemy:
    • To Bolo. Bolo and Invictus have opposed each other for eons, with Bolo seemingly being the only force capable of stopping Invictus and the Titans. It is quickly becoming one to the Team Squad as well.
    • To Gary. Invictus has a special hatred for Gary, as the astronaut's friendship with Mooncake is its greatest obstacle to fully overcoming its prison. It's shown to keep countless corpses of Garys from alternate timelines in its dimension as trophies and part of its coercion of Ash involves trying to alienate her from Gary.
  • Bad Boss: In the 9th episode of Season 3, "Hyper Transdimensional Bridge Rising", Invictus chokes and tortures Lord Commander for his failures to capture Mooncake.
  • Berserk Button: Falling under its sway and then betraying it, apparently. Invictus is for the most part a composed and relatively calm if bottomlessly cruel entity. But after the Lord Commander betrays Invictus and merges with the Earth Titan, from then on, Invictus is practically frothing with rage at his actions whenever it directly interacts with him.
  • Better Living Through Evil: Played With. When trying to corrupt Ash, it more than once tries to persuade her by saying that "all of us can begin again" once Invictus has burned everything away. The way Invictus says it seems to imply that it either intends to remake the multiverse In Their Own Image post-annihilation, or it's counting on reality to eventually re-form if Invictus succeeds in annihilating it so that Invictus can work toward destroying it all over again.
  • Big Bad: Of the series as escaping Final Space is its main initiative. The Lord Commander is merely an Unwitting Pawn (and later his Dragon) of his goals.
  • Big "YES!": Screams out one when it's being released from its prison.
  • Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Invictus is a complete opposite of the Lord Commander in many ways.
    • The Lord Commander was very direct in his fights and tended to rely on his telekinesis to take down his enemies. While it's hinted that Invictus is the one that bestowed upon the Lord Commander his powers, it opts for a more indirect approach and uses its hosts' bodies as a vessel. Granted, this is due to necessity - it can only do so much while imprisoned.
    • Invictus is content to only use the capabilities of its vessel to toy with its enemies and Fights Like a Normal while the Lord Commander constantly sought after Mooncake in an attempt to amplify his own powers and become a Titan himself.
    • Both utilize Demonic Possession against a Ventrexian but whilst the "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight works against Lord Commander's use of it, it noticeably fails against Invictus, who Word of God has compared to a God in terms of power.
    • Both attempted to have Avocato murder Little Cato but with different approaches. The Lord Commander ordered Avocato to kill his son as a test of loyalty and failed, and even earlier tried to kill the child while he was still an infant. Invictus merely manipulated Avocato by amplifying his jealousy and negative thought processes and Avocato made the decision to do so on his own.
    • The Lord Commander is a Psychopathic Manchild, desperate to finish his plan to save his own life. Invictus is patient, having nothing but time to complete its plan (but it slowly loses its cool in the latter half of Season 3 — key word slowly).
    • Gary meets the Lord Commander fairly early in Season 1, but he doesn't meet Invictus until two thirds of the way through Season 2.
    • Invictus is described as a creature of darkness while the Lord Commander's power is "light".
    • The Lord Commander wants to enter Final Space, while Invictus seeks to escape it, both to follow their own goals.
    • Even their goals are different: Invictus wants to consume life across every dimension so everything can start from the beginning. The Lord Commander wants to rule every dimension.
  • The Corrupter: Invictus has the power to warp the minds of any sentient being, and can even do this remotely from Final Space.
    • It poisoned the Titans and is responsible for them becoming a threat to all life whereas their original purpose before their corruption was to build up the universe.
    • It's heavily implied that Invictus was actually responsible for corrupting Jack into the Lord Commander, with Invictus outright calling the Lord Commander its "child" the same way it calls Ash such.
    • It attempts this on Ash in Season 3 by trying to emotionally manipulate her with lies about Gary. Unfortunately, Invictus' lies work, and Ash frees it from its prison.
  • Cruel Mercy: It spares the Lord Commander... by trapping him in the same prison Bolo was trapped in, so he would "rot away for an eternity".
  • Dark Is Evil: It is said to be a creature of darkness that corrupted the luminous Titans.
  • Demonic Possession: It's capable of both the first and second types: reanimating the thousands of dead alternate Gary's that have come to Final Space as its army of puppets, and forcibly possessing Gary and then Avocato when Gary accidentally summons its astral form in Season 2. In the latter case, instead of Invictus directly suppressing his mind and controlling his body for itself, it massively amplifies and exacerbates all of Avocato's doubts, insecurities and worst traits to make him turn uncontrollably Ax-Crazy against his friend and his son. The main symptoms of possession by Invictus are gaining purple Glowing Eyes of Doom and (if Invictus is directly puppeteering the body like with Gary) a near-perpetual Slasher Smile.
  • Devil in Plain Sight: Overtly evil and scary voice? Openly admitting that it wants to wipe out all life in the universe? Satanic appearance? All these signs point to Invictus being Obviously Evil. Too bad Ash doesn't think so.
  • Diabolus ex Nihilo: It is never actually made clear what Invictus is or where it comes from. The fact that Invictus isn't even alluded to in Season 1 speaks volumes.
  • Dug Too Deep: A variation. The Arachnitects reveal that they and the Titans first came into contact with Invictus because they expanded their universe-constructing efforts too far out into the void, unwittingly disturbing Invictus.
  • Eldritch Abomination: It's not a Titan, but something far, far worse.
  • Evil Is Bigger: Its projected form as well as its imprisoned form are already massive, but its true, released form manages to utterly dwarf a nearby planet and make the Galaxy II look like a little flea in comparison, rivaling the likes of Chakravartin.
  • Evil Counterpart: To the Beings of Unimaginable Light as a whole. While they created the universe, Invictus only craved for destruction.
  • Evil Laugh: Does one in the Season 2 finale as Avocato.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: Has a deep, sinister tone of voice.
  • Evil Sounds Raspy: Its voice is incredibly raspy.
  • Exact Words: Invictus said that Gary will kill everyone in his path; It didn't say he will kill them himself. As of now, both allies and enemies of Gary are likely to die, and that includes Fox.
  • Expy: Invictus is based on Outer Gods from H.P. Lovecraft's works.
  • Faceless Eye: Subverted. It at first seems that Invictus' real physical body/form, or at least the one mortals can comprehend, is apparently nothing more than a massive, unblinking eye with a pitch-black pupil attached to a tangled bramble of veins. It was not clear at first if this is the entirety of Invictus, or simply part of a monstrously massive whole. But "The Devil's Den" ultimately reveals that it is merely yet another simpler form, as the true unleashed form of Invictus is a black and purple skeletal being resembling a Titan.
  • Flat Character: Invictus' backstory, as well as its motivations behind why it wants to destroy and then rebuild the universe, are currently non-existent. It's simply an omnicidal Eldritch Abomination just because it is.
  • Flying Face: Invictus' previous form was a static, floating, goat-like head.
  • For the Evulz: Invictus desires solely to see the Universe end so it can be restarted and then do it all again, and takes immense pleasure in causing as much suffering as possible to get there, no matter how minuscule or cruel.
  • Frame-Up: Manages to pull this on Gary by forcefully changing his robot arm into its blade form and plunging it into a possessed Fox, to make sure its stated prophecy of the former killing the latter seemingly comes true in front of Ash. And thanks to Invictus' corruption having wormed its way well into her head and preying on her mental/emotional vulnerability as well as a slew of other misfortunes throughout season 3, it works and plays a substantial part in her defecting from the Team Squad.
  • Glasgow Grin: Its astral form's demonic-looking face has a permanent, jagged grin-shape which never changes, even when Invictus is quite unhappy.
  • Glowing Eyes of Doom: It or anyone it's possessing have glowing purple eyes.
  • A God Am I: Beyond being one of the single most powerful entities of the setting (certainly the most powerful one the cast have encountered), it's implied a few times that Invictus has a god complex, such as calling its possessed victims its "voiceless chorus" and angrily calling the Lord Commander a "heretic" for betraying it.
  • God of Evil: Obviously. It is a god-like force of pure evil that wants nothing more than the destruction of everything.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: It serves as this for the first season where it did not appear nor was explicitly mentioned, as it was the being who corrupted the Titans and is behind Lord Commander's Start of Darkness.
  • Hero Killer: Invictus has killed countless Garys in many timelines, and is hell-bent on killing the primary Gary. It was also responsible for the death of Fox.
  • Hidden Agenda Villain: Invictus' exact goals remain a mystery, although one of the biggest steps towards its master plan is killing Gary.
  • Horns of Villainy: Invictus' astral form possesses large, goat-like horns. Its true form also has them.
  • Ironic Name: Its name literally translates to "undefeated/unconquerable", which is rather amusing considering it has already been sealed away by Bolo and thus has been defeated before. Considering what it's still capable of, the imprisonment seems to more of an inconvenience than anything else.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Final Space is filled with a colorful cast of characters - it is primarily a comedy-drama, many of the villains have a comedic edge to them, or turn out to be not so bad after all. However, there is a dead-set example in Invictus, who corrupted the Titans and stops the humor whenever they appear. Invictus' appearance in "The Closer You Get" is often regarded by viewers (and the creator) as the darkest moment in the series. While Invictus isn't the first Final Space villain to be devoid of redeeming qualities, it is one of the few to have zero comedic beats. It's in effect for the rest of the series, too; as Season 3 turns out to be the darkest season in the series, with Invictus managing to kill Fox, corrupt Ash and escape from its prison to destroy existence.
  • Leaking Can of Evil: It's imprisoned in a special cage deep within Final Space, like Satan specially caged within Cocytus in the final circle of Hell. Unfortunately, its astral form can still run rampant in Final Space, Inner Space and even the regular space and possess others, to say nothing of it giving Ash and the Lord Commander their powers respectively so Invictus could use them as its servants.
  • The Man Behind the Man: It is the one behind the Lord Commander, as it is his master and the one who gave him his powers.
  • Manipulative Bastard. Invictus is somehow skilled at manipulating and corrupting people whether they be Titan or mortal. It managed to corrupt the Titans, the Lord Commander, and the Infinity Guard among others. In Season 3, Invictus tries to manipulate Ash into betraying the Team Squad; it does so by warning her that Gary will eventually kill Fox, then proceeds to use Fox's possessed body to attack Gary and takes control of Gary's robot arm to fatally stab Fox in front of Ash. Thankfully, even though she does blame Gary for Fox's death, she at least seems aware that she was being deceived. But unfortunately, The Reveal of Avocato killing Little Cato's parents ends up allowing Invictus' words to fully get through to Ash and drive her to willingly help Invictus use Mooncake's power to escape its prison.
  • Meaningful Name: Invictus means Undefeated in Latin. Invictus is a dark god so powerful that nothing in the existence can stop it.
  • Mind Control: Its primary power and ability. Word of God claims that Invictus can brainwash several minds simultaneously at its full power.
  • Mind-Control Eyes: Anyone who's being possessed by Invictus gains lilac-purple Glowing Eyes of Doom.
  • Mind Rape: Did this to all the Titans sans Bolo and later to Avocato, it also employs this as means of performing its Mind Control.
  • Monochromatic Eyes: Its glowing eyes are pupiless both in its yellow-eyed astral form and its released form. Averted by its Faceless Eye form.
  • More than Mind Control: It attempts using this on Ash to get her to make a Face–Heel Turn in Season 3. In the end, it works.
  • Obviously Evil: Let's see; A disembodied black and red demon, sharp teeth, and red color scheme. Probably best to avoid this thing. Its true form takes it further by being a colossal satanic Titan-like monster with a black/purple color scheme.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: The reason as to why it wants to be freed is so it could consume all life in every possible dimension and timeline.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: In Season 3, Invictus heals the Lord Commander, amps him up, and stops his psionic powers from making him rot, and later on it gives Ash a second eye. But both these acts were to ensure that the former wouldn't die trying to find Mooncake, and so that the latter would get the full experience of the supposed truth about Gary when he is said to kill Fox, if she chooses to stay with him. Later episodes show that Invictus is all too happy to torture the Commander and Ash when they prove frustrating for it with their actions.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Both its eye form inside its prison and moreso its true form once it's released and at full power once more produce purple light.
  • The Omnipotent: Invictus is described by Word of God as being "close to a god" at its full power.
  • Sadist: Invictus clearly takes glee in the physical and mental suffering of others.
  • Satanic Archetype: It corrupted the Titans into turning against their creators the Arachnitects and going against their original purpose of maintaining the universe, even making the Titans think their benevolent former-masters were slave-drivers and Invictus is a freedom-fighter; not unlike Satan's rebellion in Heaven. It's also a Sealed Evil in a Can alongside the Titans, but unlike the Titans, Invictus is specifically caged in a special part of Final Space (not unlike Satan's imprisonment in the final circle of Hell in Dante's Inferno). Invictus literally possesses, corrupts and/or destroys everything it touches and seems to be the embodiment of evil not unlike Satan. It also has mortal servants acting as The Antichrist to do its work and aid its eventual escape from its prison which, though it's not the Antichrist's specific role in The Bible, is very much akin to how that trope is portrayed in contemporary media. Its astral form even looks like a ram-horned devil face, while its true form is a satanic-looking shadowy abomination with multiple tentacles and a dark color scheme.
  • Sentient Cosmic Force: Of evil.
  • Slasher Smile: Aside from the Glasgow Grin on its projected form and its true, unleashed form (see above), you can always expect anyone Invictus possesses to sport a wicked grin as long as there's no need for deceit.
  • Super-Empowering: It grants the Lord Commander a Healing Factor when it resurrects him and seemingly negates his Cast from Lifespan. It's also heavily implied that the Lord Commander's original powers in his first life and also Ash's powers originally came from Invictus.
  • Time Abyss: Invictus is incredibly ancient, likely older than the Titans themselves, as it has existed since the creation of the universe.
  • Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: While Final Space starts out a lighthearted action-comedy throughout even Season 2, Invictus manages to be one of the darkest villains to ever appear in a cartoon. The moment it takes a more direct role in the plot, everything goes to Hell real quick.
  • Villain: Exit, Stage Left: In the Season 2 finale, it flees back to Final Space when the Team Squad manages to exorcise it from Avocato's body preparing its next move.
  • Villainous Demotivator: Tends to take its anger out on the Lord Commander.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Has been shown hurting Little Cato more than once, going as far as to try to strangle him to death while in control of Avocato. It is also implied that it ordered the Lord Commander to have his generals kill their firstborn kids to show their loyalty to him and Invictus.
  • Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: In its red-themed astral form, its eyes are bright yellow, and boy is it crafty and manipulative.
  • You Cannot Grasp the True Form: A literal example with its true form, which looks more alien than demonic.
  • You Have Failed Me: Repeatedly threatens Lord Commander it will destroy him if he proves himself 'useless' in its goal of capturing Mooncake.

    Phil 

Phil

Voiced by: Tom Kenny

A mysterious extradimensional humanoid being that inhabited in another eldritch dimension. Phil can be reached by the so-called Clearwater on the semi-destroyed planet Kanopus Prime.


  • Dark Is Not Evil: He exhibits a lot of amber flags, his pitch-black skin and the equally-black baby hands that writhe inside his pouch being being among the least of them. Despite all of this, he turns out to be as helpful and benign as he claims to be with no ill-intentions.
  • Glowing Eyes of Doom/ Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted along with the rest of his Obviously Evil look.
  • Humanoid Abomination: He is a tall, human-shaped creature in shamanic clothes with completely black skin, red glowing eyes and a pair of goat horns on his head. Also on his pocket are baby hands, so called by him as pocket observers, which help to keep in the pockets, for example, a map. Despite his extreme creepiness, he turns out to be trustworthy.
  • Monochromatic Eyes: Like a lot of cosmic/preternatural entities with glowing eyes, his are pupiless.
  • Obviously Evil: Subverted. He entirely seems like a creepy satanic deceiver who will ensure that anyone accepting his seeming offer will not in any way turn out well for them, but he turns out to be trustworthy.

"Oh god, WHY are you so sassy?! WHY?!"
Voiced by: Andy Richter

The overseer of Bolo's mind.


  • Catchphrase: Has a few, all of them delivered in a loud manner.
    • "YOU'RE LATE!!"
    • "SO...MUCH...SASS!"
  • Cephalothorax: He looks like a flaming blue orb with arms and legs.
  • Hypocritical Humor: He voices how annoying he finds the Team Squad for being sassy towards him, when he himself speaks with almost nothing but sass.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Comes off as very impatient and rude, but even he watches with a sorrowful expression as Gary's father sacrifices himself. He also cares about Bolo's well-being to the point he bolts straight to Team Squad and asks them for help when Bolo's mind is affected by Oreskis' infection. During said rescue mission he's as loud and shrill as ever but seems slightly more patient with the Team, providing them with needed information.
  • No Indoor Voice: Screeches every other line.
  • No Name Given: Is only referred to as "the Gatekeeper" or "the Guardian". Given his very nature, it's entirely possible that he does not even have an actual name to begin with.
  • Uncertain Doom: What happens to him following Bolo's death is unclear.

    Evra

Humanoid form
Voiced by: Jasmin Savoy Brown

A cosmic entity whom Ash befriends after Fox dies.


  • Adorable Abomination: Her destructive powers rival those of Ash and she gets very excited about randomly destroying things, but she has the personality of a cheerful teenager and most of the forms she takes on are rather cute.
  • Energy Beings: She's a creature of pure energy who can alter her physical form at will.
  • A Form You Are Comfortable With: She takes on a humanoid form so Ash won't feel alone.
  • Meet Cute: Seems to be shaping up to become Ash's love interest. Notably, Ash already displayed signs of attraction towards Evra before she took on a more humanoid form. At the same time, this may be simply bonding with someone who "gets" her - barring Fox, she was pretty much a loner amongst the crew.
  • Nice Girl: Destructive powers aside, she’s nothing but kind to Ash even trying to change into a form Ash is comfortable with.
  • No Biological Sex: As a being of pure energy. That being said, she does have a feminine voice and she ends up adopting the form of a female Human.
  • No Indoor Voice: She's no Season 1 Gary, but she can get pretty loud at times.
