* EvilOldFolks

* ShoutOut: His armour makes him look like ''ComicBook/{{Venom}}''.

[[folder: Gideon Starowski/King Mob]]

* [[spoiler: FourthWallObserver: He directly talks to the reader during the last issue.]]

[[folder: Gideon Stargrave/King Mob]]

* AuthorAvatar: Morrison believes they and Gideon possess some sort of conection. Which might explain why KM spends all volume two down on Ragged Robin.

* JackOfAllStats: While the other Invisibles are more [[CripplingOverspecialization focused on a particular skill set]], like Fanny and her [[SquishyWizard magic]] or Boy and her [[MagicallyIneptFighter martial arts skills]], KM has a more diverse set of skills, being a good fighter like Boy but also a low-grade psychic like Rags and a magician like Fanny.

* [[spoiler:FishOutOfTemporalWater: She is actually from the year 2012.]]
* [[spoiler:GetBackToTheFuture: As much as she loves Gideon, Rags must go back to the future once her mission is completed.]]

TheTeamBenefactor of the Invisibles, a billionaire who seeks to create liquid software. As a child he was abducted by aliens and shown the Holy Grail. It's revealed he was, to some degree, responsible for Ragged Robin entering the team.

[[folder: Olga Tannen/Helga]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captura.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:'''BEHOLD THE BLACK GRAIL''']]

A Scandinavian [[CunningLinguist linguist]]/[[TheSmartGuy computer code expert]] who creates a [[StarfishLanguage language program]] for the Invisibles to use against the Outer Church, and a "cut and paste" (partially photography-based) grimoire that is essential to take control over the Moonchild ritual. She serves as the EleventhHourRanger for the team during their final mission.

* EleventhHourRanger: Joins the team only in their last mission.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: She basically lives in her own world and is incredibely strange to others, doing things like photographing toilets. On the other hand, she is also one of the most competent members of the organization and her knowledge of alien languages makes her an incredibely dangerous enemy.

* MindScrew: The nature of Key 32. It's a serum that makes written words appear as reality (ie: The word "dog" appears as a dog). By injecting herself with it and reading an alien alphabet she's transported to a Hell with beings who claim they want to free "them" but they don't understand. She claims she does.

!!The Archons

* BigBad: The king of the Archons, and the force behind the Outer Church.

* DarkIsEvil: Two names say it all: Black Archon and King of this world.
* EldritchAbomination
* FlatCharacter: Justified, since it is essentialy the AnthropomorphicPersonification of a monotonous, fascistic CrapsackWorld.
* TheGhost: We never see it, and maybe it doesn't even exist.
* GratuitousLatin: One of its names is Rex Mundi.
* IHaveManyNames: It is refered as the King Archon, the Rex Mundi/King of this world, Abbadon, the Black Archon and the King.

* OurArchonsAreDifferent: These archons represent the forces of tyranny and absolute enthropic order, and look like jagged slimy shadows.

* WhackyCravings: After the final battle left him bleeding to death, he wakes up on a hospital, where he is informed by [[spoiler: Bobby's wife]] that he was asking for salt and vinagre crisps and baby carrots.

* ForeignCultureFetish:: He is a lot into african american culture.

* ButNotTooBlack: Despite being from Brazil (from a family of Mexican immigrants) she is often portrayed as white as the rest of her peers.
** Justified in that she wears makeup and a wig to look this way. Without them, she is much more visibly Latino, though by Latino standards she still counts as white.

* ButNotTooBlack: Despite being from Brazil she is often portrayed as white as the rest of her peers.

A transgender bruja from Mexico. Born biologically a man in a family of witches, she was RaisedAsTheOppositeGender (although even if she hadn't it's pretty clear Hilde would've wanted to become a woman from the start. After a meeting with Mictlantecuhtli and Tlazoteotl during her magical initiation, she struck a deal with the latter: She would be able to use her magical powers in exchange of becoming her priestess [[{{Squick}} (And since Tlazoteotl is the godess of filth, that means Fanny must become a prostitute)]]. After a brutal rape and beating by some shady buisnessmen, she considered suicide, but was approached by John-A-Dreams and offered to join the Invisibles.

An Invisible from the future member of Dane's new Invisible cell.

* * StealthHiBye: Does this to Dane on the first issue.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Zig-Zagged. On one hand, [[MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian he ''is'' the Messiah]], but even with all that power he still is a cocky teenager.

* BrilliantButLazy: It's stated by Jon Six in the first issue that Dane is actually quite intelligent but doesn't do anything with his skills aside of petty crimes. We see him, for example, disarm an alarm in a car in two minutes, making Molotov cocktails and it's shown he actually is savvy in Russian history.

A Scandinavian [[CunningLinguist linguist]]/[[TheSmartGuy computer code expert]] who creates a [[StarfishLanguage language program]] for the Invisibles to use against the Outer Church, and a "cut and paste" (partially photography-based) grimoire that is essential to take control over the Moonchild ritual.

* 11thHourRanger: Joins the team only in their last mission.

* CunningLinguist: She's a Scandinavian (probably Swedish, since Olga is a Swedish name) who speaks perfect English and aside of having translated Winnie the Pooh to !Kung she is also experimanting with alien languages.

!!Other Invisibles

* AmbiguousSituation: Is Jim just a vessel for Papa Ghede? Or is he an actual person who can be possessed by the loa? The series never truly explains it.

* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: [[spoiler: During "American Death Camp" she is brainwashed by the Outer Church into realising all this time she was working for them as TheMole. Then she is revealed to be a DoubleAgent. Then a [[RuleOfThree tripe one. Subverted as it was all a deprogramming and while having been infected by the Outer Church, never actually worked for them.]]

* InsectoidAliens: [[spoiler: During her deprogramming she is led to believe she is actually an insect-human hybrid working for the Outer Church. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that she is just a regular woman and that was all part of a MindScrew-y deprogramming by fellow Invisibles.

* {{Metafiction}}: [[spoiler: She rewrote the book Sir Miles made exposing the Invisibles and added herself there. Or she literally travelled to the fictional world using a drug called "Sky". [[MindScrew At least]] [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible that's what]] [[AmbiguousSituation we got.]]

* OurTimeMachinesAreDifferent: The timesuit looks like a black giant origami suit that uses liquid software and the HandOfGlory to move the time traveller through the time dimensions (ie: The same way there are three dimensions in space, there are also different dimensions in time.)

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Ragged Robin]]

* CultureFetishist: He is a lot into african american culture.

* TheHandOfGlory: [[spoiler: It is impplied that the Hand of Glory is his own hand wearing a glove, which he uses to bend and manipulate time.]]

* StealthHiBye: Does this to Dane on the first issue.
