History Characters / Invincible2021Others

* TheStoic: Cecil is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and the number of times he genuinely loses his cool can be counted on one hand. The time when [[spoiler:Omni-Man]] comes within literally a nanosecond of killing Cecil before his teleporter saves him is '''not''' one such time.

* AdaptationalJerkass: As much of a bizarre caricature of an overzealous father that occasionally said some really misogynistic things that Adam is, he didn't try to make Eve go back to Rex once she broke up with him after he cheated -- in fact, Adam in the comics didn't like the fact Eve started dating Rex behind his back in the first place. Meanwhile in the show, he tries to justify Rex cheating on Eve as "it's what men do", demands that she forgives him, and stops short of calling her a bitch.

* LovableJock: Works out and keeps fit, but a good guy who also appears to study medicine.

* HumanoidAliens: He and his people physically look human except for their brown skin and red eyes.

!!Principal Winslow

* DidntThinkThisThrough: It never occurred to check with the Earth's populace to see if he was at the right planet.

* TheWatson: [[spoiler:In video teaser trailer for Invincible season 2, Allen asks Invincible a question about when the [[BreakingTheFourthWall world]] will see more Invincible content. Invincible replies to Allen that more Invincible episode will come later, but Allen unpleased with the answer, demands that Invincible give him a specific date. Invincible answers Allen that the second season for the Invincible TV series will come out in late 2023, which also gives the audience the expectations on when the second season of Invincible will arrive.]]

* TheStoic: Cecil is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and the number of times he genuinely loses his cool can be counted on one hand, the time when [[spoiler:Omni-Man]] comes within literally a nanosecond of killing Cecil before his teleporter saves him is '''not''' one such time.

A GDA high-ranking agent who serves directly under Cecil Stedman.

* FullConversionCyborg: [[spoiler:Besides his brain he has an entirely new cyborg body. He estimates he is about 98% machine]].

* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:Despite blowing up, he returns unharmed after a month. Debbie gets freaked out at seeing him alive and well again, and Donald for his part doesn't seem to remember blowing himself up, with Cecil intentionally keeping that information from him. ''It's Been a While'' reveals that he has been apparently rebuilt as an android with a fleshy exterior, as while he bleeds when stabbed by a knife, the knife's tip bends under the force]].

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Omni-Man considers Donald nothing more than Cecil's pathetic lapdog. [[spoiler:He spends his last moments fearlessly fending off Omni-Man, knowing his defiance is pointless, before using his last ounce of strength to self-destruct the surveillance house. It turns out he's shown what he is "in the dark" 39 times, each time dying in an act of heroism with no knowledge he could be revived.]]

[[folder:In general]]

* {{Telepathy}}: One of his powers as part of his ComboPlatterPowers, he uses it to "speak" to Mark while they're fighting in space.

* AdaptationExpansion: In the comics, Telia's [[FlatCharacter only role was as Allen's girlfriend]] who was a bit of diva and somewhat selfish when it came to other people's feelings. The show version has had her relationship with Allen become more loving and closer in resemblance to Mark and Amber such as going on a date. Further, she's a general in the military forces for the Coalition making her an AdaptationalBadass while the comic version [[TheDiva spent her time buying expensive clothes and hob-nobing with glamorous upper-class friends.]]

* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:By virtue of hindsight, while it later turns out she reacting to Mark being too scared to trust her with his secret identity rather than his courage as a superhero - chewing out Mark and calling him a coward when she ''knows'' he had just been risking his life defending civilians and his best friend was a rather harsh thing to do. She gets a JerkassRealization about this offscreen after Mark nearly dies fighting his father]].

* PetTheDog: In Season 2, he consoles Mark after hearing about [[spoiler:his father's "death", unaware that it was a cover-up by the Global Defence Agency in order to protect the Graysons' after Omni-Man went AWOL.]]

* NoSympathy: Despite Debbie crying and lamenting that Omni-Man lied to her for 2 decades and nearly killed her son, Theo does not care and is still too angry at the death of his wife to care about Debbie.

* AssholeVictim: He is a massive douche and is the first victim we see become a Reanimen. Although somewhat downplayed as seeing his reaction after he saw a reflection of his face [[spoiler:and subsiquent suicide]] can make you feel bad for him, plus him being an asshole doesn't make his fate any less horrifying.

* FacialHorror: Peces of his face are missing when he removes his helmet.

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: The moment the astronauts arrive on Mars, the Martian Emperor immediately desires to have them executed to prevent the Sequids from using them as a PuppeteerParasite. Although he could have protected them from the Sequids in helping Invincible take them back to their rocket, the Martian Emperor continues to oppose against Invincible in killing the astronauts even though Invincible is desperately trying to save them from a Martian army.

* AdaptiveAbility: Normally, he's capable of taking on a Viltrumite on the younger side, [[spoiiler:but it turns out this is about his limit when it comes to their race as he's brutally creamed by three adult Viltrumites ganging up on him. However, without life-support, his body quickly rejuvenates ''and even grows in musculature'' such that he can now fight back against that same level of strength without much trouble.]]

* FlawedPrototype: Of the SuperSoldier variety, as noted below. He's far more powerful than any other member of his race... but Allen was intended to be able to ''defeat Viltrumites'', so he was considered a failure when his base level of strength was considered "only" equal to a young Viltrumite (a species that grows StrongerWithAge). [[spoiler: However, this flips into SuperPrototype when Allen manages to survive a horrific beating by a team of three Viltrumites and his body [[AdaptiveAbility adapts to overcome what he couldn't defeat before]]. The scientists that created him simpy didn't fully understand how his powers worked yet.]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: In the second episode of season 2, he constantly criticizes his daughter for using her powers willy-nilly and acting like rules are only for the "normals". While a lot of his complaints were ludicrous, he does point out that her building a park in an abandoned lot resulted in people being injured when the ground gave way due to Eve not knowing how unstable it was. Of course he rubs it in and says it in the most dickish way possible, but the point still stands regardless.
** Also, at his core, he does care for Eve and just wants her to live a good and safe life, and is frustrated due to believing that Eve doesn't appreciate how much he and Betsy do for her. And sadly, the [[ADayInTheLimelight 'Atom Eve']] special kind of shows he's not entirely wrong. As the episode shows Adam and Betsy constantly going above and beyond for Eve throughout her childhood, she regularly disrespects them and honestly [[UngratefulBastard doesn't appreciate]] just how much they really do for her, where even [[NiceGirl Betsy]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness finally loses it]] after Eve sneaks out at night and worries her half to death.
*** Driven home further at the episode's end [[spoiler: where Even changes the family picture in her room from her with Adam and Betsy to her real family, whom she didn't even know of until just days ago, and whom half of which tried to kill her.]]

* VirtuousCharacterCopy: He's a genetically engineered individual with [[AdaptiveAbility the ability to recover from injuries and becoming stronger from it,]] his primary enemies are what can be described as imperialistic Kryptonians, and he grows strong enough to easily overcome their legendary toughness. Allen is basically a good version of Doomsday.

* NormalFishInATinyPond: Tragically. By the standards of most people, his power is utterly immense and he's a mighty superhero... but his enhancements aren't enough to match the powers of [[spoiler:the Viltrumites, who are on an entirely different level. He lost his first fight with one, and when faced with ''three'', he ends up beaten to near-death. Subverted after [[CameBackStrong returning from near-death with a power boost]]; Thaddeus speculates that Allen now can match and perhaps even beat a Viltrumite, and is proven right when Allen fights Anissa and barely feels any pain from her hits]].

* DeathIsCheap: [[:spoiler:[[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]! It very much is not. The GDA is capable of reviving their staff. Mostly through cybernetics. But its expensive as hell and only available if the victim's body is at least partially intact. By 'partially', we mean the brain. And its only offered to middle management and up. ]]

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Omni-Man considers Donald nothing more than Cecil's pathetic lapdog. [[spoiler:He spends his last moments fearlessly fending off Omni-Man, knowing his defiance is pointless, before using his last ounce of strength to self-destruct the surveillance house.]]

* DeathIsCheap: [[spoiler:Specific ''only'' to him and PlayedForDrama. It's revealed that he's died ''39'' times thus far and is resuscitated with cybernetic implants every time. Every time Donald finds out about this, he asks Cecil to erase his memories to prevent himself from [[GoMadFromTheRevelation going mad]]. It's not exactly ''cheap'' since Cecil states that the procedure costs billions of dollars.]]

Every time Donald finds out about this, he asks Cecil to erase his memories to prevent himself from [[GoMadFromTheRevelation going mad]].]]

* DeconReconSwitch: Of the [[UnderstandingBoyfriend Understanding Girlfriend]]. On the one hand, she has limits to her lengths of understanding, owing to the fact that [[spoiler:her boyfriend spent months ghosting her and then showing up with one ApologyGift after another]] and she hits her RageBreakingPoint when she asks Mark for no more secrets when they attempt to start fresh. [[spoiler:After he nearly dies fighting Omni-Man, Amber comes to the Grayson household as soon as she finds out Mark and Debbie are back, apologizing to him and taking him out for burgers]].
