| 9 | * BigBrotherIsWatching: According to Cecil, this is the price of being a superhero as at anytime the [=GDA=] may need to contact them for a crisis and as well as protect their love ones. They're shown to have set up in a house across the street from the Graysons following the [[spoiler:Guardians' murders.]] |
| 10 | * TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: And if necessary, the Director himself will appear in your bedroom while your date's in the next room to give a lecture on why you answer your god-damn phone if you want to be a superhero. |
| 11 | * CovertGroup: While they can operate openly with some things, they also do have a lot of things they do which they like to keep a tight-held secret. |
| 12 | * DeathIsCheap: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]! It very much is not. [[spoiler: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. ]] |
| 13 | * {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} with Cecil Steadman filling the role of ComicBook/NickFury. |
| 14 | * HighTurnOverRate: GDA burns through a lot of its personnel. A ''lot''. Usually these are soldiers in the field, but a good chunk of the support staff and upper management are often put at risk and die too. No one's happy about it, but they power on through it, and will sometimes even willingly erase their memories if the trauma gets to them. |
| 15 | * InvisibilityCloak: [=GDA=] infantry have protective armor that turns them invisible; the only time they appear is when they ''already'' have you surrounded. |
| 16 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: Much like the fictional organizations its based on, the GDA has whole teams set up for this. Strangely enough for a a men in black rip-off, the GDA staff do it to themselves to escape trauma they have to deal with on a daily basis. |
| 17 | * LesserOfTwoEvils: At their worst, being a very morally grey organization who do some very morally dubious stuff such as [[spoiler:allowing Sinclair to continue producing Reanimen]]. But they are against much worse threats, such as [[spoiler:Nolan]]. |
| 18 | * TheMenInBlack: Downplayed. In the first season the GDA was treated as the best kept secret in the world, even after they held open try out's for the most famous super team in the world. By season 2, they've mostly dropped this. With GDA soldiers openly working in broad daylight. Helping random beat cops against D-lister villians. Omni-man's rampage might've had something to do with that. |
| 19 | * MultipleGovernmentPolity: Enough so to have permission to operate in other countries freely at least. |
| 20 | * RecruitingTheCriminal: The GDA is not against this. Taking captured criminals and forcing them into active service. Much like the comics. Though a bit of AdaptationalHeroism is in play. In that the villains are never allowed in the field and only used passively. Never allowed even a bit of power or freedom. Also, pretty open about it too. No one likes it, but they've learned to live with it. |
| 21 | * ResearchInc: Are specifically said to have access to research and technology they have developed, that the general public has no access to. |
| 22 | * PowerfulAndHelpless: The GDA has the best military assets on earth, or atleast access to them at any time. Key word, 'Earth'. Threats from space, other dimensions, or just crazy super science wack jobs usually throws the GDA for a loop. Which nessitates the use of super heroes to deal with those specialist threats. |
| 23 | * SuperTeam: Its not entirely shown how it works, but the GDA at least has the authorization to call on various hero teams around the world for back-up for the crisis of the day. Though, only one specific team works for the GDA directly. |

| 30 | !!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/WaltonGoggins |
| 31 | ->''"That's the problem with demons. You only see good and evil, black and white. Well I need to keep things gray."'' |
| 32 | |
| 33 | The director of the GDA, he oversees all operations relating to the world of superheroes helped by his ability to teleport, and ropes in Invincible once he starts as a hero. After the death of the Guardians of the Globe, he begrudgingly lets Damien Darkblood investigate for him. |
| 34 | ---- |
| 35 | * AdaptationalCurves: He's slightly leaner in the show than he is in the comics. |
| 36 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Relatively speaking. Compared to his comic iteration, Cecil is much more conflicted and regretful about some of the things he has to do. But he still does them. [[spoiler:Mixed with AdaptationalJerkass when it comes to his recruiting DA Sinclair, as he treats the MadScientist with the contempt he deserves and it ''seems'' that the situation is closer to a prison job with a side of TeethClenchedTeamwork than what its comic equivalent was.]] |
| 37 | * BadassNormal: Doesn't have any powers to speak off, but he's more than willing to put himself in danger [[spoiler:to stall Omni-Man in the field. Such as using some kind of energy rifle to get Omni-Man's attention (even knowing it won't hurt him) and wasting his time by using a teleportation device to dodge his attacks with TeleportSpam.]] |
| 38 | * BigBrotherIsWatching: [[CassandraTruth He dismisses Damien Darkblood's claim]] that the [[spoiler:killer of the Guardians of the Globe (who is Omni-Man) had to be one of them]]. He places the Graysons under surveillance regardless, [[MetaphoricallyTrue the justification being that the killer was still out there]]. |
| 39 | ** In the following episode though, he tells Mark that this trope is standard practice and is the price of being a superhero. |
| 40 | ** [[spoiler:In episode 4, it's revealed that he does know Omni-Man killed the Guardians but wants to know why and how to stop him.]] |
| 41 | * CoolOldGuy: The director of the local ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} {{Expy}} and everything that entails. He's calm, collected and quite mysterious. [[spoiler:He shows off this coolness even further by straight up going in the field and stalling Omni-Man himself. He fully knows he can't win, especially after seeing a good amount of his men killed, but he still does it.]] |
| 42 | * EveryoneHasStandards: |
| 43 | ** He's ruthless in his dedication to protecting humanity from any and all threats, and will not hesitate to cross any line he deems necessary to do so. But he makes it known under no uncertain terms that he's incredibly disgusted by D.A. Sinclair and his creations. [[spoiler:Which only goes to show how desperate he is when he decides to call on Sinclair to try and stop Nolan when the latter goes looking for Mark. Understandably it's clear that he is not enjoying it every one bit.]] |
| 44 | ** [[spoiler:Even when Nolan is out for blood and ruthlessly killing his men, Cecil still dials down the explosives on the Viltrumite, aiming to only knock him out rather than anything else, rather than risk collateral damage to any civilians in the blast radius.]] |
| 45 | ** [[spoiler:Even as he keeps it as professional as possible when he faces Nolan and stalls him for time, it's clear that Cecil feels personally betrayed by him. He only raises his voice one time, and that's when Nolan calls the Guardians weak, coming to their defense. But even then, his choice of words show a seething contempt for Nolan's true nature, particularly calling him a "lying piece of shit".]] |
| 46 | ** In Season 2, Cecil lets Mark know that while Debbie's house is bugged for extra security and to keep tabs on her and Mark, he also makes it clear that there are no cameras in the house, seeming almost insulted by the insinuation when Mark assumes as such. |
| 47 | ** [[spoiler:When Donald accuses Cecil of erasing his memories, the latter makes it explicit that he wouldn't do that to the employees under him, with it being revealed that GDA Agents ''voluntarily'' have their memories erased of their immense and surmounting trauma that comes from working with the Agency.]] |
| 48 | * {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/NickFury, being the leader of a global intelligence agency who's willing to take morally grey actions for the greater good. His appearance also calls to mind ComicBook/JonahHex. |
| 49 | * FacialHorror: Downplayed, one side of his face has what looks like scarring lines extending from his lips, like a partial GlasgowGrin, but the rest of his face is unblemished. |
| 50 | * GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler:Crossed at least twice, in an attempt to stop Nolan, and potentially kill him, before he could get to Mark. The first time, he sent some of Sinclair's undead Reanimen after Nolan, later remarking just even talking to Sinclair made him feel dirty. The second, he sent the Kaiju Nolan fought in a previous battle, only with every enhancement injected into the creature he could think of to bolster its strength.]] |
| 51 | * GoodIsNotNice: He is far from the nicest individual and does a lot of shady stuff to protect the planet and innocent people. He later states he hates himself because of this trope. |
| 52 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 53 | ** He sends Damien Darkblood back to Hell because he didn't want Darkblood antagonizing Nolan, who's the most powerful being on Earth and for reasons then-unknown killed the Guardians of the Globe. |
| 54 | ** When he sends Mark to Atlantis to atone for Omni-Man's murder of their king, Aquarus, it was merely supposed to be an ArrangedMarriage with their queen. Unbeknownst to him, that custom has since changed and Mark is forced into a TrialByCombat with a sea monster, causing Cecil to renege on the deal. When the beast is released by one of Cecil's missiles and starts attacking the Atlanteans, Cecil has no problem leaving them to their fate, since they chained the beast up in the first place and should have made Mark's punishment clear before he agreed to it. |
| 55 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's got very few qualms in doing whatever it takes to keep the world safe, but that doesn't mean he's without kindness, as he tries to accommodate heroes the best he can, and tries his best to watch out for Debbie and Mark. Also, unlike many comic book characters in his archetype, protecting and saving innocent lives is a major priority for him, and he never risks them in his plans if he can possibly help it. |
| 56 | * KickTheDog: He was willing to let Mark die if it meant defeating Omni-Man, though it's clear that the decision wasn't an easy one for him. |
| 57 | * LeanAndMean: Heroic shade of this trope. Despite his ruthlessness, Cecil still genuinely believes in protecting the planet and often regrets the amoral things he's done. |
| 58 | * MyGreatestFailure: Sees [[spoiler:being unable to realize Nolan/Omni-Man was EvilAllAlong]] and being unprepared for it, as his talk with Debbie during the season 1 finale shows; |
| 59 | -->'''Cecil:''' [[spoiler:Nolan]] was doing everything under my nose and I never saw it. I wouldn't be able to live with myself [[MustMakeAmends if I couldn't make things as right as they could be]]. |
| 60 | * PetTheDog: |
| 61 | ** In episode 6, after Invincible apologizes for mangling Sinclair's jaw in a rage, Cecil gently tells him that he doesn't have to and that he probably would've done the same thing in his position. |
| 62 | ** The aftermath of [[spoiler:Nolan and Mark's fight]] in episode 8 has him going above and beyond with this. Doing his absolute best to make sure that [[spoiler:Mark and Debbie are going to be okay. Pulling all sorts of strings to make sure that during and after Mark's healing their lives can get a little bit of normalcy after all that has transpired.]] |
| 63 | ** Although he demotes Robot from his position as leader of the new Guardians in favor of [[spoiler:The Immortal]] due to Robot still struggling to deal with [[spoiler:his new body]], Cecil still reassures him that he's still part of the team. |
| 64 | ** He assures Mark that he isn't like his father just because [[spoiler:he killed Angstrom in a rage, as Angstrom had been the one who decided to threaten and harm Mark's family.]] |
| 65 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: |
| 66 | ** He may do some immoral acts, but we see that his desire to protect the Earth and its people is genuine. In fact, when finding out that [[spoiler:Nolan is the prime suspect for the Guardians' murders, he keeps any investigating on the down-low and exorcises Damien Darkblood for investigation, only to monitor the house and send armed men to protect Debbie after she confronts Nolan]]. Cecil is genuinely worried when he can't reach Mark, doing all he can to try and evacuate him to safety after [[spoiler:Omni-Man goes on his rampage against Donald and the GDA team]], becoming horrified when [[spoiler:Mark witnesses his father killing Immortal again]]. When Cecil witnesses Omni-Man [[spoiler:committing several attrocities then nearly murder Mark, he fakes Nolan's death and reassures Debbie that no one will connect her and Mark's civilian identities to Omni-Man so they can live without harassment, while giving Mark top-of-the-line medical care]]. |
| 67 | ** In Season 2, he initially refuses to bring Mark back into superheroics after the latter has spend a month semi-benched, both out of concerns that [[spoiler:Mark may have more in common with his father than either of them would like]], but also because more obviously, Mark is still mentally and emotionally hurting in the fallout of events and needs time to ''genuinely'' heal. Whilst it's overall ambigious how much of it was an act to Mark or his work colleagues, he does come across as genuinely empathising with the young man on some level and understanding his pain, even if the job absolutely comes first. Similarly, he harshly dresses down the Guardians' destructive performance without Invincible in their corner, but outlines to Dupli-Kate that this was ''still'' the nice way of putting things, and brings in both The Immortal and Bulletproof to help with their leadership performance in the field as well as having a LightningBruiser who can fill in for Mark whilst the latter is under observation. |
| 68 | * TheStoic: Cecil is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and the number of times he genuinely loses his cool can be counted on one hand. He admits that [[spoiler:Omni-Man]] coming within literally a nanosecond of killing Cecil before his teleporter saves him is '''not''' such a time. |
| 69 | * TeleportSpam: His personal teleporter device can be used in this manner. He also showcases impressive reflexes when using it since without them [[spoiler:Omni-Man would've reduced him to a fine paste immediately and even then he only barely missed.]] |
| 70 | * VillainRespect: Despite being vocally contemptuous of Sinclair in front of Mark, Cecil cannot help but openly admire the fact Sinclair created such advanced cyborgs in a sewer with nothing more than scraps all on his own. |
| 71 | * VocalDissonance: Cecil is an old man and looks it, but his voice actually still sounds quite young for his age and appearance especially compared to Omni-Man's rather gravely tone in scenes where they're together. |
| 72 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: In Episode 7, Cecil makes it clear that [[spoiler:Omni-Man's murder of the Guardians]] isn't just a slight against him on a professional level, but a ''personal'' one. He shows a rare righteous anger toward [[spoiler:Nolan]] and even says that [[spoiler:Debbie and him both have being hurt by Nolan's betrayal in common]]. |
| 73 | * WhatTheHellHero: On both the receiving end and the giving end: |
| 74 | ** He calls out Nolan for [[spoiler:killing the original Guardians of the Globe]], making it clear he's rightfully upset at the man, especially considering all their time together. |
| 75 | ** Debbie calls out Cecil not long after for [[spoiler:refusing to call off Hail Mary's attack on Mark and Nolan on the grounds he doesn't know if Mark will side with his father or not.]] Debbie says his GoodIsNotSoft approach is a reason she always hated him. Cecil sadly agrees that it's why he hates himself as well. |
| 76 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: In season 2 episode 8, he sympathizes with Mark over his grief regarding Angstrom Levy's death, explaining that Mark did what he had to do to protect his family, and that just because he killed a crazed villain who was threatening them doesn't make him anything like Nolan. |

| 86 | A high-ranking GDA agent who serves directly under Cecil Stedman. |
| 87 | ---- |
| 88 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: [[spoiler:In the comic he is aware of his conversion to a cyborg and he has fully accepted it. In the show, his memories were wiped so he appears to just be figuring it out and is going through existential angst. It's revealed that this is a semi-regular thing, where he learns he died, and asks Cecil to remove his memories of this as he can't cope with them or his new nature. This time he eventually figures out a way to deal with it, realizing he always dies doing something heroic, and that these actions should define him more than his cyborg nature]]. |
| 89 | * ApologeticAttacker: Rather, apologetic and secret protector. [[spoiler:He reveals that he sent armed soldiers to the house, ready to fire on Nolan if he tried to attack Debbie, and evacuates her, along with the rest of the neighborhood, to a secure location. Donald apologizes for the intrusion, orders his people to stand down once Nolan is gone, and stays to monitor Nolan's response if and when he returns]]. |
| 90 | * BadassNormal: |
| 91 | ** Like Cecil, he has no powers [[spoiler:but still manages to wield a rifle big and powerful enough to make even Nolan wince when shot in the face, and then dodge Nolan's first attack, which is rather impressive considering he's dealing with someone who can move fast enough to ignite oxygen.]] |
| 92 | ** [[spoiler:It's revealed he died 39 times so far, and each time it's while performing heroic deeds, saving people, covering for them to escape, or trying to rescue people, with no regards for his own safety and no hesitation. And no knowledge he might come back from this.]] |
| 93 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Introduced as Cecil's stammering, seemingly gormless assistant with an uncanny resemblance to [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Bobby Hill]], he shows surprising feats of bravery befitting the GDA director's NumberTwo, including assuming a martial arts pose when a {{Kaiju}}'s body was moving, [[spoiler:exorcising Damien Darkblood, and successfully [[HoldTheLine holding the line]] against Omni-Man for the precious few seconds it took his crew to escape. Season 2 shows he regularly puts his life on the line for the safety of others.]] |
| 94 | * DeathIsCheap: [[spoiler:PlayedForDrama. It's revealed that he's died ''39'' times thus far and is resuscitated with cybernetic implants every time, which is apparently a hidden benefit to anyone in middle management or higher. Every time Donald finds out about this, he asks Cecil to erase his memories to prevent himself from [[GoMadFromTheRevelation going mad]]. It's also not literally ''cheap'' since [[DeconstructedTrope Cecil states that the procedure costs billions of dollars]].]] |
| 95 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: When [[spoiler:Nolan busts them for spying on him, Donald grabs a BFG and shouts at his subordinates to ''run'', and that's an order! He then manages to hold off Nolan briefly to buy them time, and hits the self-destruct button despite Omni-Man breaking his spine. Not only did he go out on his own terms, but also ensured that Omni-Man wouldn't go after his crew]]. |
| 96 | ** [[spoiler:Donald is eventually shown an archive of video recordings of his previous deaths such as holding off a monster while civilians around him escape, or running into a burning building to save the people trapped inside. All told, he's had 39 of these...so far.]] |
| 97 | * EliteMook: A pretty hard deconstruction of one. Donald is middle management in the GDA, which generally makes him team leader in an agency that cycles through soldiers on a fairly regular basis. [[spoiler:Donald is no exception. His body broken, mauled, smashed, even killed just as any of his men. Thing is, Donald is so good at his job the GDA thinks he's valuable enough to revive... on multiple occasions.]] |
| 98 | * EmergencyTransformation: [[spoiler:Cecil salvaged his brain to turn him into a FullConversionCyborg.]] |
| 99 | * FlatEarthAtheist: Is an atheist despite working with a demon that's explicitly from Hell. Cecil lampshades the absurdity. |
| 100 | * FullConversionCyborg: [[spoiler:Besides his brain, he has an entirely new cyborg body. He estimates that he's about 98% machine]]. |
| 101 | * TheHeart: He comes off as far more empathetic than Cecil, and [[spoiler:is able to help guide Rick through the trauma of being rebuilt by the GDA.]] This quality of his is so valuable that it's implied to be the reason why [[spoiler:Cecil rebuilt Donald at least 39 times, despite each time costing billions of dollars]]. |
| 102 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In every definition of the phrase, all of Donald's deaths have involved him doing his best saving as many lives as he can. From being crushed by a Kaiju, being blown to bits or even suicidal bombing Omni-Man, all were done in the line of duty to save someone.]] |
| 103 | * ItHasBeenAnHonor: After being [[spoiler:mortally wounded by Omni-Man (via said Viltrumite digging his fingers into his back and grabbing his spinal cord), he says these as his last words before initiating an instant self-destruct inside of the house to stall Omni-Man. Cecil shares these sentiments and clearly grieves for him.]] |
| 104 | * NumberTwo: He acts as Cecil's right-hand man overseeing various operations such as the [[spoiler:forensic investigation for the Guardians' murder, surveillance of the Graysons, and the status of a {{Kaiju}} that Omni-Man defeated.]] |
| 105 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The normally mild-mannered Donald grows frustrated [[spoiler:with Cecil avoiding his questions about what happened to Donald and finally snaps, furiously ordering the GDA workers out of the room.]] |
| 106 | -->'''Cecil''': Okay, you have my attention. |
| 107 | * OpaqueLenses: His glasses have these. |
| 108 | * RoboticReveal: Though he didn't know. [[spoiler:Cecil had him rebuilt as a cyborg with most, if not all, his memories intact. Unfortunately for Cecil, that includes Cecil's ''login information'' that the original stole at some point. Donald is horrified when he uses it to watch the video of himself being murdered by Omni-Man, later stabbing into his arm and being relieved at the sight of blood before seeing the knife has bent.]] |
| 109 | * SenselessSacrifice: Zigzagged. [[spoiler:On one hand, blowing up the safehouse he was residing in doesn't really do anything to faze Nolan. But on the other hand, the fact that Omni-Man was already out for blood and had a tight grip on Donald's spinal cord meant that he wouldn't be making it out that fight alive anyhow. At the very least. he went out in his own terms and did stop Nolan from killing the remaining members of his team. Plus, he's casually back after a month after Cecil quietly salvaged his brain to put in a cyborg body.]] |
| 110 | * SympathyForTheDevil: [[spoiler:Almost literally in the case of Damien Darkblood, who he expresses sympathy for his exorcism.]] |
| 111 | * TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:He finds out he's a cyborg in "It's Been A While" and Cecil explains the details the episode later.]] |
| 112 | * UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:Despite blowing up, he returns unharmed after a month. Debbie is disturbed 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]]. |
| 113 | * WeCanRebuildHim: [[spoiler:A running theme for Donald. He's died 39 times in the line of duty and after being summarily revived only 2% of his original body remains]]. |
| 114 | * 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 without the knowledge that he could be revived.]] |

| 140 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Allen was worried he'd get fired for coming to Earth instead of Urath. That didn't happen; offscreen, they asked with concern how Allen ''survived'' during his multiple visits because [[spoiler:Earth was flagged for having a Viltrumite mole. They also gave permission for Allen to return to Earth to warn Mark about this, not knowing that Mark met the mole... his own father, who nearly beat him to death and killed thousands of people.

| 159 | * HatesTheirParent: Discussed. Thaedus buys Allen's story of [[spoiler:Mark turning against Nolan]] because while Viltrumites are known not to fight each other, a son can hate their father so much to the point that they defy them. |
| 160 | * ManlyFacialHair: One of his most distinctive attributes is his big bushy beard, and he's the leader of a heroic rebellion against the [[spoiler:Viltrumite]] Empire. [[spoiler:He later rips his beard off, leaving only a mustache, revealing himself as a Viltrumite to Allen.]] |
| 161 | * TheOlderImmortal: [[spoiler:He's heavily implied to be a survivor of the Viltrumite Great Purge, which makes him even older than [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Nolan]].]] |
| 162 | * TheLeader: The man in charge of the Coalition and Allen's boss. |
| 163 | * ParentalSubstitute: He has a very fatherly relationship with Allen, who clearly looks up to him and is eager to please. |
| 164 | * ThisCannotBe: A rare heroic one; he's shocked to be told of [[spoiler:Mark and Omni-Man's]] fight as it's the first time Viltrumites have fought each other since the Great Purge. [[spoiler:This implies some things about what made him a DefectorFromDecadence.]] |

| 169 | !!Allen the Alien |
| 170 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_allen_the_alien.PNG]] |
| 171 | !!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/SethRogen |
| 172 | |
| 173 | Initially believed by Mark to be some recurring threat he is sent to fight, Allen is an evaluation officer for the [[TheFederation Coalition of Planets]] whose job is to assess the security of member worlds. |
| 174 | ---- |
| 175 | * AdaptationDistillation: In the comics, Allen was actually an ''annual'' threat for fifteen years, coming to Earth every year only to be repeatedly defeated and pushed back by Nolan, who doesn't exchange a single word with him the entire time. Here, this is simply alluded to as an incident of Allen fighting Nolan three years ago. |
| 176 | * AdaptiveAbility: Normally, he's capable of taking on a Viltrumite on the younger side, [[spoiler: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.]] |
| 177 | * AliensLoveHumanFood: Allen eats a burger from Burger Mart and remarks on the great taste of the burger he had eaten. Subverted with pickles inside the burger, as Allen suggests to Invincible that it tastes disgusting to eat. |
| 178 | * AllPlanetsAreEarthLike: And have similar-sounding names apparently. [[AliensSpeakingEnglish With the English alphabet.]] Allen came to Earth because "Urath" asked for an evaluation of their defenses, confusing the two planets. Not helped by the fact that Urath has very similarly shaped continents to Earth, if the tablet was anything to go by. |
| 179 | * AlternativeCalendar: Upon learning that Invincible season 2 is set on being released in the year, late 2023, Allen becomes excited that of its release date, but he is unsure of how long it will take because different alien planets keep track of time by using different calendars. |
| 180 | * AnAlienNamedBob: A [[SuperheroesInSpace space superhero]] tasked with assessing member worlds by TheFederation - and goes by the rather mundane name Allen. |
| 181 | * BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:Makes a return to Earth in the finale of Season 1, a bit too late with the news that the Earth has a Viltrumite on it and then has to be brought up to speed on what has happened after he left Earth.]] |
| 182 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: The video teaser trailer for the release date of Invincible season 2, Allen breaks the fourth wall by acting as TheWatson in asking Invincible on when more Invincible content will be released for the world to see. |
| 183 | * CameBackStrong: [[spoiler: After almost getting beaten to death by three Viltrumites and then having his life-support cut off while in the hospital by Thaedus, Allen not only survives but grows in strength and size from the experience. Previously unable to defeat even a single Viltrumite, now their blows barely faze him while his own draw blood.]] |
| 184 | * TheCavalryArrivesLate: By the time he comes back to reveal that Earth is off-limits due to there being a Viltrumite, [[spoiler:he's pretty much missed out on the whole ordeal regarding Omni-Man.]] |
| 185 | * ComboPlatterPowers: Not only does he have FlyingBrick powers but also has Telepathy. Allowing him to be a match against Invincible but also talk with him telepathically while in outerspace. |
| 186 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: Averted. Rather than finding out the misunderstanding at the end of their fight, he and Mark talk things out during a "timeout". Which allows them to settle the conflict early and peacefully, due a misunderstanding at Allen's part. |
| 187 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: It never occurred to him to check with the Earth's populace to see if he was at the right planet. |
| 188 | * EndangeredSpecies: The [[spoiler:Viltrumites]] conquered his people years ago. When they resisted, the [[spoiler:Viltrumites]] nearly wiped out his entire species. Those few who remained had to resort to breeding camps just to sustain their numbers. Allen is the result of an experiment to make one child from such a breeding camp superpowered so that they could fight back against the invaders. |
| 189 | * ExplainExplainOhCrap: After getting into a brief fight with Mark, he eventually learns that he's gone to the wrong planet. He was supposed to be inspecting Urath and leaves since he might be fired over this blunder. |
| 190 | * {{Expy}}: A SuperSoldier who was granted powers by artificial means, who is also member of an alien species that was pushed to the brink of extinction, and is good friends with TheHero? Yep, Allen is the the show's version of Characters/BetaRayBill. |
| 191 | * EyeScream: [[spoiler:Part of the very brutal beatdown he receives at hands of three Viltrumites. One of Thula's punches ends up dislocating his eye from his head, though it remains attached. By the time we see poor Allen again, his face is covered in bandages.]] |
| 192 | * FailedASpotCheck: Mistaking Earth for Urath is one thing, but he also missed that [[spoiler:the guy he fought last time he came by, making sure the planet could defend itself from Viltrumites, ''was'' a Viltrumite.]] |
| 193 | * 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 simply didn't fully understand how his powers worked yet.]] |
| 194 | * FlyingBrick: He has a similar powerset to most Viltrumites: Super strength, durability, speed, endurance, reflexes, and agility. Although he has Telepathy added to all that. Unfortunately, at his initial base power level, he's not quite on the same level of Flying Brick as even the weakest of Viltrumites. |
| 195 | * GenocideBackfire: [[spoiler:The Viltrumites destroyed his people's planet, which makes him all more determined to stop them. In fact, it's the entire reason he was created]]. |
| 196 | * GentleGiant: Beneath his big and burly appearance, he's a sensitive soul who really just wants to do what's right and help people. |
| 197 | * GoodAllAlong: The mysterious alien cyclopean FlyingBrick that attacked Nolan for no reason is, in fact, a civil and friendly security inspector for TheFederation [[spoiler:and a freedom fighter against the Viltrum Empire]]. |
| 198 | * GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:He's shown smiling during his beatdown at the hands of three Viltrumites, knowing that he's at least saved the innocents at the diner and his girlfriend Telia from being targeted by them.]] |
| 199 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: As a member of the Coalition of Planets, his job is to asses how secure certain worlds are. He has his own adventures to worry about which we don't get much of but there are implications. At the end of his introduction he goes back to the Coalition and seemingly begins looking for Urath. |
| 200 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:When some Viltrumites find him and interrogate him about his knowledge about what happened on Earth, Allen realize that if he drags it further, they might hurt and kill innocent people near them in space, including his lover Telia, so he eggs them on to focus their rage on him and him alone, beating him mercilessly. Given how Telia is by his side at a hospital, it worked.]] |
| 201 | * HumanoidAlien: A burly and [[TopHeavyGuy top heavy]] cyclops alien with only three digits per hand and two toes for his feet. |
| 202 | * LateToTheRealization: Granted it was most definitely because he was gone and away from Earth, [[spoiler:but when he returns to Earth with the news of there being a Viltrumite, he's missed out on everything that has happened since he left. And has to be brought back up to speed by Mark.]] |
| 203 | * MusclesAreMeaningful: [[spoiler: After recovering from being beaten to near-death by the Viltrumites, his body is noticeably bulkier than it was before. In fact one of the first things he does after waking up ([[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength and accidentally breaking his recovery machine]]) is admire his new biceps. [[CameBackStrong Correspondingly, he's now much stronger than he was previously]]]]. |
| 204 | * NiceGuy: After he and Mark talk things out, the two get along pretty well. [[spoiler:When he comes back in the last part of the finale, he is willing to listen to Mark's story and tries his best to be understanding of his plights. Even trying to lighten up the mood by revealing his own baggage.]] He also defends Mark vigorously to the Coalition's leadership when they question his trustworthiness and is a loving, if dorky, boyfriend to Telia. |
| 205 | * 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]]; Thaedus 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]]. |
| 206 | * OnceIsNotEnough: Positive version. The Viltrumites who beat him up 'only' beat him until he's a mangled body, but they did not MakeSureHesDead. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Thanks to that,]] Allen recovers stronger than ever and can now match them in combat. |
| 207 | * PoorCommunicationKills: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]], as Mark is given no explanation of who Allen is or why he's coming to Earth. Doing so actually allows him to honestly tell the alien he (Mark) doesn't know what's going on, using his "time out" to get an explanation and clear up the confusion. Fully subverted in the finale. Allen never communicating with Omni-Man before and [[spoiler:learning he had the wrong planet sooner means he didn't learn that Earth had a Viltrumite on it sooner, which he would've felt obligated to warn Earth's defender about. Mark even lampshades this, pointing out that if Allen had told him about the threat, Mark would've just reported it to his dad, and then Omni-Man probably would've gone on his rampage sooner.]] |
| 208 | * ReassignedToAntarctica: After it became clear that his powers weren't enough to defeat [[spoiler:Viltrumites]], he was deemed a failure and shifted away from the frontlines into the position of testing planets' defenses. He's hinted to have some insecurity about this. |
| 209 | * SuperheroesInSpace: He's basically the Coalition's very own superhero. |
| 210 | * SuperSoldier: He was created as part of a program to create superpowered warriors to fight against [[spoiler:the Viltrumites]]. Unfortunately, his power level turned out to be far below theirs and he was deemed a failure. |
| 211 | * SuperToughness: While Allen is unable to stand up to even a single [[spoiler:Viltrumite]], he is one of the few people in the universe who lived to tell about it. [[spoiler:Even after three Viltrumites beat Allen so hard his [[EyeScream eyeball popped out of his socket]] and they tore out his entrails, he survives long enough to be put onto a hospital bed (mind you, he was also in ''space'').]] After recovering from that battle, [[spoiler:Allen's durability improves further. He takes an uppercut from Anissa without any real injury, remarking that should have hurt a ''lot'' more; mind you that earlier in the episode, the same uppercut shattered Mark's mask lenses and nearly knocked him out cold.]] |
| 212 | * {{Telepathy}}: He has an implant in his skull that allows him "speak" to Invincible while they're fighting in space. |
| 213 | * 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. |
| 214 | * TheWatson: [[spoiler:In video teaser trailer for Invincible season 2, Allen asks Invincible when the [[BreakingTheFourthWall world]] will see more Invincible content. Invincible replies to Allen that more Invincible episodes will come, but Allen unsatisfied 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 informs the audience of when the show will continue.]] |
| 215 | * WellDoneSonGuy: He comes off as desperately eager to please Thaedus, who he clearly looks up to as a mentor and father figure. Thaedus actually does acknowledge Allen to be a great person and a vital asset to the Coalition; it's Allen's own insecurity over his weakness in comparison to [[spoiler:Viltrumites]] that drives him. |

| 223 | |
| 224 | Allen's girlfriend and a high ranking member of the Coalition. |
| 225 | ---- |
| 226 | * 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. Furthermore, 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.]] |
| 227 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the comics, Telia was a rather unpleasant diva who, while genuinely loving towards Allen, was also incredibly bossy and selfish and something of a ChildHater (although she explains it's a common trait among her people). Her animated counterpart, while somewhat of a snarker, is shown to be a lot more pleasant personality-wise. |
| 228 | * ForcedToWatch: [[spoiler:She's powerless to stop three Viltrumites from ambushing Allen, and she can barely hold back her tears when they end up brutalizing him after he refuses to tell them information about Mark and Nolan.]] |
| 229 | * GondorCallsForAid: She tells Allen that the Coalition needs more allies after repeated Viltrumite attacks, even though the Viltrumites themselves are making it ''very'' difficult. |
| 230 | -->'''Allen''': Then good thing I found us one. |
| 231 | * GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Well, blue-skinned, but all the same, she's an attractive, humanlike alien woman. |
| 232 | * HypocriticalHumor: She calls the live "Kanzlok" that Allen eats at the diner disgusting... while she eats a similarly disturbing live alien that ''also'' starts eating the Kanzlok. |
| 233 | * NaughtyTentacles: After she and Allen started to shag, she sprouted tentacles. |
| 234 | * SecretKeeper: Initially she's LockedOutOfTheLoop about Allen's investigation into the [[spoiler: Viltrumite]] mole but its only a day before she's able to conjole her boyfriend into telling her. |

| 247 | ---- |
| 248 | * CastingGag: He's played by the person the School is named after. |
| 249 | * InkSuitActor: He looks like Reginald [=VelJohnson=], in particular Carl Winslow from ''Family Matters''. |
| 250 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As [[spoiler: Dean of Mark's college]], though he only knows the cover story, he gives Mark another chance with academic probation because he knows how difficult grief can be. |
| 251 | * SecretSecretKeeper: It's implied that Principal/Dean Winslow is aware that Mark is a superhero, (if not Invincible himself) as every interaction and dialogue scene he has with Mark lean heavily towards being a responsible adult... regardless of whether he focuses on school or his "outside duties". |

| 258 | |
| 259 | Mark's best friend and confidant. |
| 260 | ---- |
| 261 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: In the comic, William is gay, but he was in the closet for a long time in real life years - to the point Mark didn't even know until Will entered a relationship, and then opened up to Mark and revealed he was always attracted to him. In the animated show, he's openly gay from the first episode, and doesn't seem to be attracted to Mark. That said, he's [[StraightGay still not flamboyant or campy]]. |
| 262 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Since William is open about his sexuality from the get go in the show, the little short lived attempt of making him and Eve into a couple early in comics is pretty much gone. |
| 263 | * {{Blackmail}}: Teasingly does this with [[spoiler:Mark upon realizing he is a superhero, asking to be taken flying or he will tell everyone]]. |
| 264 | * BrutalHonesty: He doesn't mince words when he [[spoiler:tells Mark that he's been a terrible boyfriend to Amber]]. With that said, [[spoiler:while he's mad that Mark didn't save Rick in time, he thanks Mark for saving his life from D.A. Sinclair]]. |
| 265 | * CannotKeepASecret: No kidding. He almost exposed Mark to Rick and Amber less than twenty seconds after he told him not to tell anyone that he's Invincible. |
| 266 | * CharacterCatchphrase: He'll typically cap off his BrutalHonesty with "Sorry, not sorry". |
| 267 | * DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments such as is covered in BrutalHonesty and when he was criticizing Mark's room before a date. |
| 268 | * {{Determinator}}: When [[spoiler:Rick]] goes missing and [[spoiler:Mark]] is not willing to help, William takes matters into his own hands. Even when [[spoiler:his arm has been sliced open]], he still keeps going to [[spoiler:fight Sinclair]]. |
| 269 | * EatingLunchAlone: During the montage showing what happened [[spoiler:after Omni-Man and Invincible's fight, with Mark being healed. He's shown eating alone without his best friend. Clearly worried if Mark is gonna be okay or even ''alive''.]] |
| 270 | * ExtremeMeleeRevenge: Subjects [[spoiler:D.A. Sincliar]] to a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown after not only [[spoiler:turning Rick into a Reanimen but also wanting to turn William himself into one, with Sinclair already having an electric surgical saw cut deep into his arm. He's so pissed off that Sinclair's completely bruised and bloodied by the end of it. Mark breaking his jaw was the non-lethal coup de grace.]] |
| 271 | * AFriendInNeed: [[spoiler:When Mark and Debbie were missing, William did what he could to try check in and would organize their mail for them at the front.]] |
| 272 | * GayBestFriend: In a deviation from the comics, this version of William is already out at the beginning of the story. As a result, he's Mark's best friend whose homosexuality is made obvious by comments like being attracted to Omni-Man. In the sixth episode, his subplot is about his boyfriend. |
| 273 | * HasAType: He has a thing for men with ManlyFacialHair, considering that he admits to having a crush on Nolan as well as hanging up a poster of Creator/BurtReynolds in his dorm wall. |
| 274 | * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler:Does this towards Rick, who had been converted into a Reanimen. It eventually works once Rick sees William being hurt.]] |
| 275 | * TheJoyOfFirstFlight: [[spoiler:His very brief flight with Mark is full of ecstatic laughter and whooping.]] |
| 276 | * NervesOfSteel: He holds it together better than some viewers when he's [[spoiler:interrogated by Omni-Man about Mark's whereabouts, even when he notices the blood on his gloves]]. |
| 277 | * SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Becomes this to Mark in episode 6 after seeing Invincible up close. He and Amber also become this to Eve in the season finale. Unfortunately, he's ''awful'' at it, and is only spared having spilled the beans on Mark by accidentally outing him to people who already know. Twice.]] |
| 278 | * ShipperOnDeck: Tries to make Mark and Amber a couple, and gives him props like advanced books so he can impress her. |
| 279 | * StraightGay: Besides his somewhat EffeminateVoice, William isn't really campy nor does he show any stereotypically gay mannerisms, much like his comic counterpart. |

| 286 | |
| 287 | A classmate of Mark's, who started dating him after he stands up for her against a bully. |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * AdaptationalExpansion: In the comics, Amber is a fairly minor character whose primary role is to show how difficult it would be for a superhero to maintain a stable relationship with a civilian. The show greatly expands her narrative presence and her interests and personal life, and gives her and Mark's relationship a lot more focus. |
| 290 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: [[spoiler:Figures out that Invincible is Mark by herself earlier.]] |
| 291 | * AdaptationalJerkass: While it's a matter of hot debate how much her actions were justified, during the couple of weeks before [[spoiler:Mark's reveal]]. The conflict regarding [[spoiler:Mark not confessing he was Invincible]] is unique to the show as the comic Amber [[spoiler:did not figure the truth out a couple of weeks beforehand and thought the worst with him being a drug dealer, expressing concerns with friends on that as well]]. But both did ultimately confront him and both also got upset with him during the relationship. |
| 292 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Her own non-super heroics are this. As is [[spoiler:hurrying over to check on and make amends with Mark]], following his return after the [[spoiler:fight with his dad]] are show-specific with Amber [[spoiler:reconciling with Mark being a superhero here]]. |
| 293 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Courtesy of how she did not have much of one in the comics, being a SatelliteLoveInterest. Show Amber is more assertive and confident. The volunteering and experience with other cultures as shown on her date with Mark, is also unique to the show. |
| 294 | * AdaptationDyeJob: She has blonde hair in the comics. In the show, her hair is black. |
| 295 | * AscendedExtra: Gets far more development in the show version than the comic version, beyond being [[SatelliteLoveInterest Mark's girlfriend]]. |
| 296 | * AscendedFridgeHorror: Amber finds out in the final episode that [[spoiler:her boyfriend was being gaslit by his superpowered father, who admits on live TV that he wanted to groom his son into a world conqueror, isolating him from other humans]]. Offscreen, Amber realized that while Mark was ghosting her and it wasn't cool, he was being manipulated by someone he trusted, his own father. She goes to check on him, and gives him space to either talk about the trauma, or distract him. |
| 297 | * CharacterDevelopment: While initially being [[spoiler:wanting nothing to do with]] Mark for his lateness/absence, after [[spoiler:she sees Mark beaten almost to death, trying to defend humanity from his father, she goes to check up on him as soon as she can. The two make amends, and by Season 2, she's far more understanding and encouraging of Mark's double-life.]] |
| 298 | * CommonalityConnection: Where Amber and Eve start to bond more, is when they both work at a shelter and express a desire to help people. |
| 299 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: A mild implication as she expresses that the community center she now volunteers for as a teenager, used to be like a second home where she was younger. |
| 300 | * DeadpanSnarker: She's got an incredibly dry wit. |
| 301 | * 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. It ends up [[ZigZaggingTrope becoming a straight deconstruction once again]] albeit in a different fashion near the end of season 2. Though she is understanding of the position Mark's powers put him in, the relationship ultimately fails to work long-term because Amber ends up feeling completely useless and a liability at worst thanks to her being a normal human]]. |
| 302 | * DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Amber deconstructs the SecretSecretKeeper. She secretly figured out Mark's identity as Invincible fairly early on but is more hurt by the fact that he never trusted her enough to reveal it to her himself, which was the real reason why she broke up with him. |
| 303 | * EntertaininglyWrong: She was mad that Mark was hiding that [[spoiler:he was Invincible owing to that he lied to her for several months on end]]. Amber assumed that she was an afterthought since [[spoiler:Mark kept blowing off important dates]], the way Rexsplode was a SmugSuper towards Eve. She realizes that she was ''way'' off the mark when [[spoiler:Omni-Man on live-camera admits that he was grooming "Invincible" to become his successor and help conquer the planet, outright saying that he was manipulating Mark to sever ties from humanity, and Mark nearly died fending off his father futilely while refusing to help him take over Earth. Amber apologizes to Mark when they reunite, saying she had no idea how complicated his life was]]. |
| 304 | * {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/GwenStacy, although only when it comes to her role as a LoveInterest. They're both the first love interest of the protagonist. This is less noticeable in the adaptation due to Amber's RaceLift, as she heavily resembles Gwen in the original comic, not to mention Amber not dying. |
| 305 | * AFriendInNeed: [[spoiler:While she has broken up on very bad terms with Mark, ultimately she goes and checks in on him, following seeing the fight between him and his father on TV.]] |
| 306 | * GoodSamaritan: Not only volunteers at a community center but when [[spoiler:Reanimen attack]], she still believes in helping people and not running away. Even if that means being very much in danger from what seems to be [[spoiler:a supervillain]] in the process. |
| 307 | * HeroicBystander: When the [[spoiler:Reanimen attacked before Invincible showed up]]. |
| 308 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Amber has somewhat of a streak of hypocrisy during her troubled relationship with Mark. She is increasingly upset at Mark being a secret keeper, but in the final couple of weeks of their relationship she herself is a SecretSecretKeeper (having figured out he was at least a superhero). |
| 309 | * InkSuitActor: She's drawn to look like Zazie Beetz. |
| 310 | * JerkassRealization: She doesn't react well when [[spoiler:after breaking up with Mark and telling him he was too cowardly to come clean about his alternate life that she witnesses him fighting for his life on live television. The last thing she said to him was "fly away, flyboy" and Amber, with the rest of the world, is ForcedToWatch Mark on the end of a one-sided CurbStompBattle as Omni-Man uses him to murder thousands of civilians around the globe. More so, despite the fact that Mark lost badly, he kept trying to save people, emulating the values that Amber believes. It gave her a wake-up call that keeping a secret identity isn't as simple as lying to your loved ones and that Mark's life was more complicated than she thought. To top it all off, she can't tell anyone when doppelgangers show up at Nolan's funeral, apart from William and the family's house is empty for several weeks. The minute she hears that Mark is back and recovered? She gives him a hug as an apology, saying she was scared that he was dead. By Season 2, they're back together again, and she's a lot more understanding of what Mark has to deal with]]. |
| 311 | * KickTheDog: [[spoiler:By virtue of hindsight, while it later turns out she was 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]]. |
| 312 | * RaceLift: Amber is a blonde, white girl in the comics. She is black in the show. |
| 313 | * SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Deconstructed. She secretly figured out Mark's identity as Invincible fairly early on but is more hurt by the fact that he never trusted her enough to reveal it to her himself, which was the real reason why she broke up with him. It turns into a DeconReconSwitch by the second season, as they're back together after she realizes just how small her grievances with him keeping her in the dark are compared to what he has to deal with]]. |
| 314 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Mark attracts her attention by coming to her aid against a bully's advances. She doesn't even mind that he got beat up, in fact, it's what draws her to him. [[spoiler:Conversely, it's his lack of honesty with her regarding his identity as Invincible that ends up leading her to break up with him. And incidentally, it's witnessing him getting beaten to a bloody pulp by his own father just to protect Earth that leads to her apologizing for how harshly she treated him]]. |
| 315 | -->'''Amber:''' I've had a lot of guys throw punches for me. Never had any of them ''take'' a punch for me. |
| 316 | * UnequalPairing: [[spoiler:As acknowledged by both her and Mark in "I'm Not Going Anywhere", despite Mark attempting to live the life of a normal young man, he is ultimately a superhero regularly dealing with threats to the world on the regular, while she's a normal human who can at best only assist with charity work. After being threatened by Anissa to force Mark into complying with the orders the Viltrumites gave him, Amber breaks down, admitting she feels like she has no agency when she's part of Mark's world, being nothing more than a liability villains can use to hurt Mark. They end up mutually breaking up.]] |

| 326 | * {{Blackmail}}: Todd's third appearance is to apologize to Mark: not because he felt bad or anything, but because Amber threatened him with old photos of him that she'd delete if he apologized. To top it with a cherry, [[LaserGuidedKarma it's implied she made]] ''[[CasanovaWannabe him]]'' [[LaserGuidedKarma give Mark her number as coup de grace]]. |
| 327 | * TheBully: He's introduced hassling Amber for a date despite her clear disinterest and twice punches Mark for standing up for his classmate. The second time he tries to hurt Mark is after the gets his powers and NoSell his hits, freaking him out. |
| 328 | * BullyBrutality: Both times he attacked Mark was in a school hallway, in full view of witnesses, [[AdultsAreUseless yet no teachers appeared or reprimanded him afterwards]] and [[BystanderSyndrome no student apparently reported it]]. Luckily the second, more brutal beating comes after Mark has his powers and [[NoSell no sells]] his hits rightfully freaking him out. |

| 390 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iv_adam.PNG]] |
| 391 | !!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/FredTatasciore |
| 392 | |
| 393 | Eve's father, who vocally disapproves of her being a superhero. |
| 394 | ---- |
| 395 | * AbusiveParents: Of the emotionally abusive variety. Adam is a sexist idiot in general, but towards Eve in particular he is shown to be very unsupportive and unappreciative towards her. At one point, he even demands that Eve goes back to Rex, a boyfriend that cheated on her, and he seizes every opportunity to chew her out on her actions. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold That being said]], [[ParentsAsPeople Adam does loves his daughter, but can't get his head out of his ass long enough to deal with her in a more productive manner]]. |
| 396 | * AdaptationExpansion: Season 2 dives into the Wilkins family a little more than the comics did in the same timeframe, trying to give Adam a little more depth; in the comics his character was mostly static and appeared very sparsely, the show introduced a financial woe where Adam lost his job, directly tying it to Eve’s arc. While having more appearances in the show does highlight Adam’s terrible traits more, it also tries to show that underneath his bad takes that Adam is trying to teach Eve her actions doesn’t always benefit everyone, and her tremendous powers may be leading her to ignore the value of what normal people can and should do by themselves. |
| 397 | * 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 "all men make mistakes", demands that she forgives him, and stops short of calling her a ''bitch''. |
| 398 | * BumblingDad: He is quite sexist and it's clear that his daughter doesn't respect him one bit. |
| 399 | * ControlFreak: He's a stubborn asshole who tries to force everything to be done by his own bossy and often unrealistic standards. |
| 400 | * CurseCutShort: He just barely stops himself short of calling his own daughter a "bitch" because she won't forgive Rex for cheating on her. |
| 401 | * DomesticAbuse: It's not explicit that he's ever been physical, but it's clear Adam has emotionally destroyed his wife to the point of her being utterly obedient to him -- which is how he seems to think women should be. |
| 402 | * DontYouDarePityMe: Despite the rough relationship they have, Eve genuinely tries to help them when she learns that he lost is job as a furniture salesman and has to work [[BurgerFool for minimum wage at a fast food restaurant]] by creating food and even giving them a 24-karat gold apple to sell. He refuses and chews her out for it even as she tries to sympathize. |
| 403 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Zigzagged. In the Atom Eve special, he's offended by how Eve referred to special education students as "freaks". Although he was the one who referred to the school as a "school for weirdos", not knowing that Eve was hiding behind the door and had overheard him. |
| 404 | * FantasyForbiddingFather: He greatly objects to Eve being a superhero. |
| 405 | * FatBastard: He is chubby and a sexist idiot. |
| 406 | * FallenOnHardTimesJob: In the second episode of season 2, Eve discovers he's been reduced to working a minimum wage job at Burger Mart. When she asks why, Adam reveals that the furniture company he worked at for 20 years went out of business when its corporate office was destroyed in the Battle of Chicago. |
| 407 | * FreudianExcuse: It's all but shout from a rooftop that Adam ''really'' wasn't ready for dealing with a child with superpowers. The special ads another layer to his behaviour: [[spoiler: His and Betsy's ''actual'' biological daughter ''died'' at birth, and unbeknownst to them Eve was swapped for their dead baby. It's implied that is part of the reason he is so deadset on his daughter living [[StayInTheKitchen his version of a "normal" life]], losing her once was more than enough]]. |
| 408 | * HateSink: He is sexist, controlling, and overall disrespectful towards his daughter. He claims that she should forgive her ex-boyfriend for cheating on her and then says learning that she has powers was the worst day of his life, the latter of which brings her to tears. It's telling that his comic book counterpart comes off as more sympathetic in comparison. |
| 409 | * HonorBeforeReason: In season 2 when its revealed he's had to take a crappy job at a burger place after the furniture company he originally worked for went under after the Battle of Chicago, he stubbornly keeps refusing to accept Eve's help because he insists on being the "man of the house" and the one who provides for his family, despite his minimum wage job is barely paying the bills. |
| 410 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Thinks [[JerkAss Rex,]] of all people, is a good fit for his daughter. |
| 411 | * ImAManICantHelpIt: He claims this is the case, which is why Eve should forgive Rex for cheating on her. |
| 412 | * IWantGrandkids: Adam cites this as one of the things he wants for his daughter to have with a normal life outside of possessing superpowers. |
| 413 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 414 | ** 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. |
| 415 | ** 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 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 Eve 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.]] |
| 416 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: {{Downplayed}}. He truly is concerned about his daughter's safety, but he's too much of a colossal narrow-minded prick about it and he really, really sucks at voicing his concerns in a way that doesn't sound sexist. |
| 417 | * ParentsAsPeople: He does care enough about Eve to fear for her safety but he presents his arguments as having no faith in Eve to protect herself and his attempts to tell her about how he fears for her safety are verbalized as clumsy and sexist. Just as Eve is about to leave home, Adam finally talks to her about his fears and she does appear to understand but Eve still chooses to leave because of how stressful her home life is. |
| 418 | * StayInTheKitchen: He believes that women need to be protected, and was upset to learn that Eve broke up with Rex Splode, even though she is more than capable of protecting herself. |

| 430 | * FemaleMisogynist: A passive one, but she doesn't seem to disagree with what her husband says. It's likely if she did disagree, though, years of being married to Adam has greatly diminished her willingness to voice it. |

| 458 | * FishPeople: Just like her husband and is the queen of a whole city of them. |
| 459 | * HypocriticalHumor: When Mark mistakenly believes he has to marry her in order to atone for his father's actions, Aquaria states they got rid of the law and that the Atlanteans aren't savages. Instead they make Mark fight in a TrialByCombat with a Kaiju. |
| 460 | * IOweYouMyLife: Essentially this when Mark selflessly saves Queen Aquaria from the Kaiju beast she brought in to attack Mark. When Mark reached land after his fight with the Kaiju, Cecil tells him that she and the Atlanteans have forgiven them for the murder of their king because Mark saved them. |
| 461 | * LaserGuidedKarma: She and her council basically tricked Mark and Cecil into a false sense of security and used a chained up Kaiju monster to attack Mark for his father's crime. Cecil, rightfully pissed, sends missiles at the monster, which causes one of the monster's chains to break, leading to the Kaiju to murder some Atlanteans and nearly Queen Aquaria as well. Cecil, while arguing for Mark to leave instead of saving them, made a good point in saying they brought it upon themselves for staging the event like this in the first place. |
| 462 | * NonMammalMammaries: PlayedForLaughs. Like Aquarus, she's basically a fish head on a humanoid body, complete with breasts that would be completely superfluous to a fish. |
| 463 | * RevengeByProxy: Since Omni-Man left Earth, there's not much she or the Atlanteans can do to get revenge for him killing her husband, so they trick Omni-Man's son Mark into a battle to the death instead.

Olga and Debbie were close friends, and even though Omni-Man killed Olga's husband, she understands that Debbie was lied to and does not hold it against her. Theo on the other hand was a stranger to Debbie, and when he found out she was married to Omni-Man completely shunned her. |

| 488 | ---- |
| 489 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: The atomic surges wreaking her body when she goes into labor end up burning her from the inside and she dies wailing in agony. |
| 490 | * DeathByChildbirth: Eve's powers proved too much for her body to handle and she died from a particularly painful and strong contraction/atomic surge just as Brandyworth managed to get her to the hospital. |
| 491 | * DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: From what we see, Polly appears to have been a loving and kind woman who only wanted the best for her unborn daughter. |
| 492 | * DisposableVagrant: Defied. It's implied her being homeless was the reason Brandyworth and his bosses chose her as a test subject, since presumably no one would raise too much of a stink if she disappeared due to not surviving the procedure. However, Brandyworth came to care for her and in the end helped her flee the facility in an attempt to give her and the unborn Samantha normal lives. |
| 493 | * FateWorseThanDeath: The Atom Eve special's climax reveals that after Polly's first death, Erickson was able to bring her back, but only as a braindead husk. She basically remained in stasis so she could be used to breed more children like Eve, until a stray bullet shot during a struggle between Erickson and Brandyworth hits and kills her. |
| 494 | * [[GiveHimANormalLife Give Her a Normal Life]]: During her pregnancy Polly realized she didn't want her unborn daughter to grow up in a lab and be used as a living weapon. More than anything else she wanted the baby to grow up and live a normal life, even if Polly herself wouldn't live to see it. |

| 505 | ---- |
| 506 | * AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: |
| 507 | ** In the comic Brandyworth's relationship with Polly was clearly romantic in nature, as he'd developed feelings for her during their time spent together at the lab. The special leaves it more ambiguous, instead implying Brandyworth saw Polly more as a daughter due to their age difference. |
| 508 | ** Similarly, in the comic Brandyworth thought of himself as Eve's father, due to his involvement in her creation. In the special him watching out for Eve and trying to keep her out of trouble is framed more as him honoring Polly's LastRequest for her daughter to have a normal life. |
| 509 | * MentorOccupationalHazard: Dies shortly after meeting up with Eve and telling her her true origins. |
| 510 | * ParentalSubstitute: While Eve never calls him "daddy" like she did in the original comic, it's obvious she comes to see him as more of a father figure than her adoptive dad Adam. At the end of the special, Eve changes her family photo into that of the family members she could have loved and lost that day, notably framing both Polly and Brandyworth in parental roles. |
| 511 | * SureLetsGoWithThat: When Eve asks whether her mother Polly was his lab partner and if she inherited her intelligence from her, Brandyworth decides to roll with it, claiming that Polly was a "valued colleague". Probably because he thought the truth - that Polly was basically a DisposableVagrant - wasn't something Eve needed to hear. |

| 523 | * CanonForeigner: He's original to the animated series. |
| 524 | * DefiantToTheEnd: Almost, as he didn't back down even when very close to death from the Maulers after shooting one in the eye. |
| 525 | * TheEveryman: Steve's purpose is to show a human-eye view of the superpowered antics in the world. |
| 526 | * RecurringExtra: Has more of an arc than one would suspect, but really doesn't affect the plot other than providing a different perspective in his recurring appearances. |
| 527 | * {{Retirony}}: The Mauler Twins attack the White House days before he's taking an extended vacation with his newly repaired family. Fortunately, he's saved from death at the last millisecond. |
| 528 | * WinningOverTheKids: He hopes to do so with Matt, caring about his stepson despite Matt being a TroubledTeen who started out hating his new stepfather. It slowly seems to be working out. |
| 529 | * YoureNotMyFather: He and his stepson Matt had a tense relationship when his mother remarried Steve; but Steve came around and did his best to help with Matt's problems. So when Matt calls Steve dad while saving his life, Steve's naturally touched to the point of tears. |

| 536 | |
| 537 | A College student who had a fling with William. He later gets kidnapped by Sinclair and put through the Reanimen process. |
| 538 | ---- |
| 539 | * AbledInTheAdaptation: His narcolepsy from the comics is never brought up at all despite it being one of his bigger character traits in the original. This was possibly done to downplay his similarities to [[ComicBook/{{Sleepwalker}} the Marvel Comics character he was named after.]] |
| 540 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Rick and William are in a public relationship from the first minute in the animated series. In the comic, William didn't come out of the closet until later. |
| 541 | * BeyondTheImpossible: He gets his ''frontal lobe'' removed, and he still manages to regain his humanity through ThePowerOfLove. |
| 542 | * BodyHorror: Just like with most Reanimen, his body doesn't look too pretty after Sinclair got his surgical saw on him. |
| 543 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Sinclair cuts out part of his brain and installs some type of control device in his head, turning him into an animalistic beast. |
| 544 | * CameBackWrong: Despite regaining his self-control, Sinclair cutting out part of his brain left him mentally disabled to the point that he is only mentally capable of very sluggishly saying William's name. Granted he could still fight and was still smart enough to know that removing his (and the other Reanimen's) control chip would free him from Sinclair's control. [[spoiler:The GDA are thankfully able to get him back to normal by ''It's Been A While'', though he's still clearly traumatized by the experience.]] |
| 545 | * DrivenToSuicide: The man is... not stable after being rebuilt. It takes Donald sharing his own experiences to get him off the literal edge. Granted, Rick theorizes that the fall isn't high enough to actually kill him anymore due to the implants, but it certainly wouldn't be a pleasant experience for him either way. |
| 546 | * GentleGiant: Is tall and muscled but a very kind man, who stands up to Sinclair insulting others. |
| 547 | * HeroicWillpower: Despite having part of his brain cut out and a mind-control chip plugged into the back of his skull, he manages to regain control of himself upon seeing William being hurt. |
| 548 | * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Attempted by William, and he eventually breaks free when he sees Sincliar trying to cut off William's arm. |
| 549 | * {{Lobotomy}}: Sinclair removes his frontal lobe to get rid of his emotions, although it doesn't completely work. |
| 550 | * LovableJock: Works out and keeps fit, and he's a good guy who also appears to study medicine. |
| 551 | * ManlyGay: Is described as an "Alpha Male" by Sinclair and had sex with William. |
| 552 | * MrFanservice: He is a hunk, and William finds him very attractive. There are also several zoom-ins to his butt. |
| 553 | * NiceGuy: Has an amicable demeanor. He even thinks [[{{Jerkass}} Sinclair]] of all people, deserves a friend. |
| 554 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Sinclair removed his frontal lobe to try and remove his ''emotions''. Apparently, the genius didn't pay attention to basic human biology because the hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, and limbic cortex all control emotions, basically everything EXCEPT the frontal cortex. The frontal lobe controls higher brain function and thought processes, but Rick's emotions would be almost completely intact. The only issue would be processing stimuli around him to get him to understand a situation enough in order to trigger an emotional reaction. Seeing his boyfriend hurt was one of the few things that could get through the mental haze. |
| 555 | * SympathyForTheDevil: Expresses sympathy for Sinclair not having any friends. |
| 556 | * UnwillingRoboticisation: Is kidnapped and transformed into a Reanimen by Sinclair. |

| 568 | * CheerfulChild: Fiona is excited to see her father when he comes home and to see a superhero. |
| 569 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Fiona asking her father if he is a good guy. |
| 570 | * MamaBear: [[spoiler:With the reveal of being fine with her husband as a crime lord, the prior concerns of Vanessa seemed to more be about how her daughter was still being threatened by Machine-Head as he did not let Titan out.]] |
| 571 | * MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Subverted. A motive for some of the worst things that Titan does in episode 5, is that he has a wife and daughter he has to look out for.]] |
| 572 | * WhatTheHellHero: While he's far from a hero, when Titan's wife learns that he is still being forced to work for Machinehead, she coldly brushes him off. Interestingly, she seems perfectly content with [[spoiler:''Titan'' being the crimelord though]]. The issue is perhaps more the danger that the family is being put through, which [[spoiler:is no longer the case with Titan's promotion.]] |

| 584 | * CharacterDevelopment: Goes from being said to not liking his step-dad to [[spoiler:calling him dad for the first time]] and then being [[spoiler:worried that grave-robbing will get his step-dad in trouble.]] |

Although somewhat downplayed, seeing his reaction after he saw a reflection of his face [[spoiler:and subsequent suicide]] can make you feel bad for him. Plus him being an asshole doesn't make his fate any less horrifying. |
| 600 | * CasanovaWannabe: He hits on three girls while very drunk, but they just think he is gross. |

| 624 | |
| 625 | The Martians people's ruler, and has quarantined the planet due to intergalactic parasites. |
| 626 | ---- |
| 627 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: Though according to him, he's speaking fluent Martian. |
| 628 | * BlatantLies: Claims to know what Viltrumites are yet doesn't seem fearful at the mere mention of them and just looks over at one of his subordinates. |
| 629 | * FromBadToWorse: He finds the astronauts to be a threat on Mars because of the possibility that they may be possessed by the Sequids. The situation only becomes worse when Invincible forgets one of the astronauts and the forgotten astronaut becomes a host for the Sequids. |
| 630 | * GilliganCut: The moment he makes it clear to Invincible that he will kill the astronauts, the next scene cuts to Invincible helping the astronauts escape an army of Martians. |
| 631 | * HeroAntagonist: He has a justified reason as to why he feels the need to kill the astronauts. The Martian Emperor wishes to kill them to prevent the Sequids from taking control of their bodies and potentially use them to conquer the episode. While it is a morally ambiguous act of heroism, Invincible refuses to allow the Martian Emperor to kill the astronauts because they are innocent people. It results in Invincible fleeing Mars with the astronauts while the Martian Emperor sends his army of Martians to kill the astronauts. |
| 632 | * HumanoidAliens: He and his people physically look human except for their brown skin, red eyes and elongated skulls. |
| 633 | * InnocentAliens: Downplayed. He and his people only desire to protect their planets from the Sequids, but they are willing to use extreme measures of committing murder to innocent astronauts to do so. |
| 634 | * MrExposition: He provides Invincible the origins of the Sequids and as to why he needs to have the astronauts executed. |
| 635 | * 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 by 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. |
| 636 | * PragmaticHero: He is willing to have human astronauts be killed in order to make sure that the Sequids don't possess their bodies. |
| 637 | * PuppeteerParasite: Defied. His main motivation of wanting to kill the astronauts is to make sure the Sequids don't possess their bodies and become a threat to the universe. |
| 638 | * SelfFulfillingProphecy: By ordering the astronauts' execution, Invincible is forced to try and save them by escaping with them in a hurry. Unfortunately, Invincible unwittingly leaves one astronaut behind[[note]]a martian rebel shapeshifts into one of them to hitch a ride out of Mars[[/note]] who indeed ends up becoming the [[PuppeteerParasite host to the Sequids]] while everyone else is distracted. The Martian Emperor would have probably prevented the Sequids from possessing the forgotten astronaut (and likely catch the impersonator in the process) if he had just agreed to let Invincible and the astronauts return to Earth. |
| 639 | * ShootTheDog: Although it is evil to kill the astronauts, the Martian Emperor is only doing it to protect Mars and the entire universe from the Sequids. |
| 640 | * UncertainDoom: It is unknown what happens after the Sequids possessed one the astronauts that Invincible forgot. The possessed astronaut unleashes a wave a Sequids against an army of Martians. It is likely that the soldiers were overwhelmed by the Sequids and the entire Martian race, including the Martian Emperor, is in danger from the Sequids. Given the Sequids have escaped the planet by season 2, it's more likely than not the Emperor was among the casualties. |
| 641 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He orders the astronauts to be killed so they wouldn't be hosts to the Sequids. He has damn good reason to be afraid of them. |
| 642 | * WhiteAndGreyMorality: Invincible acts as the "white" by wanting to protect the astronauts from the Martians. The Martian Emperor and his army act as the "grey" for wanting to kill the astronauts, but only to prevent the Sequids from taking control of their bodies. |

| 651 | * CurbStompBattle: Like so many different species before them, they're easily wiped out by the Viltrumites and stood absolutely no chance against them. |
| 652 | * InnocentAliens: While they're willing to lie to Mark to bring him to Nolan, they have no bad intentions in doing so and are simply following the orders of their king. The Thraxans are a friendly and peaceful people by all appearances. |
| 653 | * InsectoidAliens: They resemble some kind of bizarre alien mantids. |
| 654 | * MonoNoAware: They are fully aware of how short their lifespan is, and it's given them a gentle appreciation of death. |
| 655 | * NonMammalMammaries: They look almost identical save for height and clothing, but the females have breasts to set them apart. |
| 656 | * ShortLivedOrganism: They age much faster than humans. The one sent to bring Mark to Thraxa complains that he's spent most of his life on the journey… one that only takes two weeks at maximum from Thraxa to Earth and back. |
| 657 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Some of the friendliest aliens we've seen so far, and they're slaughtered by the thousands during the Viltrumite invasion. Subverted, as the species survives to rebuild with Mark's help. |

| 671 | * EskimosArentReal: As part of his introduction as Séance Dog, he says he is from a dimension where, along with other more understandable comparisons, dogs are real, implying he believes on Earth, they are not. |
| 672 | * {{Expy}}: A double one. Séance Dog (the comic character not the alien) serves as a stand-in for Science Dog from the original comic (who couldn't be used due to being considered a separate license from Invincible), while also being clearly modeled on ComicBook/DoctorStrange. |
| 673 | * NiceGuy: While bumbling and willing to lie to complete his mission, he's a sweet guy who's just doing his job and is nothing but friendly with Mark and William. |
