Major Villains

    The Mauler Twins 

Mauler Twins

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_130.jpeg

A pair of verbose scientists who specialize in mind-transfer and cloning. Their supervillianous exploits are motivated by their ongoing game of one-upsmanship, in which each tries to prove to the other that they are the original and their opposite is the clone.


  • Genius Bruiser: They may look like your typical dumb bruiser, but they are certainly not someone to judge on appearance alone. Not only do they have vast knowledge in many science fields, super geniuses Angstrom Levy and Robot specifically recruited them for both their brain and their brawn.
  • Heelā€“Face Turn: Once they accomplish their goals, they decide to use their genius to help out. Possibly put on Robot's payroll.
  • Running Gag: Both them are identical clones, but that doesn't stop them from being confused over who was cloned from whom. In fact, it's the only thing that keeps them working harmoniously together, as the one time they managed to figured out who was the original resulted in said Mauler becoming the dominant of the two, lording over the clone until said clone had enough and poisoned him to death.
  • Starter Villain: While not the first villains Invincible fights, they are the first to give him any trouble.
  • Super-Strength: Have Massive amounts of strength, being able to overwhelm Invincible when he started out.
  • Those Two Guys: Technically the same guy but still. They are almost never seen apart and always treated as a unit.
  • Worthy Opponent: They visited the funeral of the Guardians of the Globe because they saw them as such.

    The Flaxans 

The Flaxans

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_178.jpeg

A species of extradimensional aliens that constantly invade only to be repelled.


  • Always Chaotic Evil: While there are a few minor Flaxans that want peace their species as a whole without fail always defaults to becoming conquering tyrants no matter what happens. Robot and Monster Girl spend CENTURIES trying to alter their culture to be more peaceful - through both soft/subtle means and outright executing any Flaxan that steps out of line and shows violent tendencies. The process takes so long and their culture keeps resetting so many times that it tears apart Robot and Monster Girl's relationship. Robot's outlook permanently alters to see a "greater good" violence/tyranny as the default and easiest solution to societal problems, while Monster Girl ends up falling for a member of the tyrannical ousted Flaxan imperial family and believes they should cut their losses and that trying to transform the Flaxans into a peaceful species has become so barbaric that it's better to just let them stay jerks.
  • Rapid Aging: Happens to them when outside their home dimension. They use ever progressing technology to counter the effect and are forced to retreat when the tech is destroyed.
  • Running Gag: They appear early on every couple of issues, only to quickly be beaten back.
  • Year Inside, Hour Outside: Because time in their dimension flows much faster, each time they appear their weapons are more advanced. A side effect is they suffer from Rapid Aging outside of their home dimension. Humans suffer the opposite, instead of rapid aging in their dimension they stay the same age for decades at the time, taking almost several decades to age a few months at most.
  • Zerg Rush: While they are technologically advanced, Earth's defending superheroes are still much stronger than them. The Flaxans main advantage is their larger army whenever they invade and the fact they can appear just about anywhere at any time, making it hard to prepare for them when they do show up.

    Angstrom Levy 

Angstrom Levy

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2647.jpeg

Essentially Invincible's Arch-Enemy. Once a man born with the ability to open portals to other dimensions but lacked the knowledge to navigate them effectively. He gathered countless extra-dimensional versions of himself (who all had the different universal ability of having genius level intellect of their respective dimensions) and the Mauler twins to download their memories into him in hopes of mastering his abilities. After the project failed, he blamed Invincible for his hideously mutated appearance, willing to go to whatever lengths necessary to have his revenge.


  • Arch-Enemy: Invincible's first and most impactful. Starting out as some random guy Mark stopped since he was working with the Mauler Twins, which, after a handful of ever escalating encounters, turned into a blood-feud that jaded Mark's stance on killing the most and made him obsess over him whenever he came back on the scene. The feeling is more than mutual as every act Angstrom does post accident is dedicated to killing, humiliating and/or ruining Invincible in the most devastating level. Hence his penchant for targeting his family.
  • Body Horror: Levy's brain has grown so large that it now takes up not only his head, but most of his shoulders and some of his back.
  • Create Your Own Villain: Angstrom Levy was an amoral but harmless scientist who sought to perfect his technologies through less than legal means... until Invincible accidentally turned him into a freak with brains bulging out of his head and shoulders. It was, in fact, largely Levy's fault: the accident happened because Levy tried to stop the Mauler Twins, who he employed for his experiments, from killing Invincible. When Mark points this out, Levy refuses to believe it, because by that point he's too insane to realize there was ever a time that he didn't want Invincible dead. It took him nearly a year of him believing Invincible was dead, living a normal life and Eve talking with him about his backstory and demented mindset for him to give his blood-feud up, committing himself to redemption... before one of the evil alternate Marks he betrayed snatches him up and tortures him to near death for his actions against him.
  • Dimensional Traveler: His main power, allowing him to open portals to any dimension. Later the accident that gave him his mutated appearance enhanced this even further, fusing all the memories of countless alternate selves he collected into his brain. This had the effect of increasing his intellect hundreds fold and giving him the ability to create portals to any desired dimension at will twitch full knowledge of everything he would need to know. A side effect of the accident was he was erased him from The Multiverse by killing his alternate selves as a result. Meaning if he dies, he's dead in all dimensions.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: A good way to describe his antagonistic acts towards Invincible, when he one ups Angstrom he has to answer ten fold. Accidentally cause you to destroy your own project and mutate you horrifically? Time to kidnap and torment your mother and toddler brother while trapping you in hellish dimensions for months on end till you're weak enough that I can beat you to death! Get near killed when said plan fails? Time to recruit almost 20 evil, extra-dimensional copies of Mark to RAZE the most famous cities to the ground and kill as many heroes and people as possible to ruin his reputation forever before killing him! With his only real justification for such acts being Invincible started it and can't justify it otherwise beyond calling Mark's character into question. Eve eventually talks him into realizing just how much he's let his hatred of Mark consume his life and that his current state was the result of his own actions, leading him to actually surrender only to be dragged into another dimension by an evil alternate of Mark.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Although at start he seems to be Ambiguously Evil. Just before the explosion he caused after taking off his helmet, Angstrom says how he won't let death of a child ruin his greatest triumph, when Mark gets beating from multiple Maulers. Unfortunately this noble act is the start of his long hatred for Invincible.
  • Friendly Enemy: In the Pact #4 side story.
  • Heel Realization: After Eve Talking the Monster to Death speech, Angstrom realizes the proccess made him loose some of his memories and that "main" dimension's Mark isn't evil at all. Angstrom apologizes for what heā€™s done. Too bad the last evil Mark doesn't forgive him at all...
  • Heelā€“Face Door-Slam: Atom Eve convinces him that Invincible is a good guy and it was a delusion that the explosion was his fault, finally making him remember that the explosion was caused by him trying to save Mark... then one of the evil alternate Invincibles drags him to another dimension and an unpleasant fate. However, this turns into a Defied Trope as Mark immediately vows to track him down and rescue him... then Robot murders him to trap Mark on that Earth.
  • It's Personal: One of the very few villains to have a personal quarrel with Invincible, and the only one for whom the feeling is mutual on Invincible's part.
  • Killed Off for Real: Was finally killed off for good once he was decapitated by Robot when he accompanied Invincible to rescue Angstrom from another dimension.
  • Knight of Cerebus: His threat level maybe well below that of say, Thragg or Conquest, but each time he appears, the story gets more darker and has big consequences on Mark's life.
  • Meaningful Name: An "angstrom" is a microscopic unit of measurement. Levy is — or starts out as — an experimental physicist.
  • My Brain Is Big: Much to his dismay. Angstrom's brain is hideously enlarged, bulging from his head, shoulders and upper back as a result of a lab experiment gone wrong. He hates the way he looks, and hates Invincible for, as he believes, giving him his horribly mutated brain.
  • Never My Fault: His first thought when something goes wrong is to blame Invincible.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: He winds up putting a stop to a number of evil alternate versions of Mark in his crusade against the Invincible the comic follows.
  • Put on the Bus: Two times, in issue 33 and issue 65.
  • Required Secondary Powers: Averted at first then played straight. Despite being able to go to any and all dimensions at will, he lacked two key secondary powers to make use of it to its full potential:
    • Knowledge of all dimensions, as he had no clue what dimension he might end up intrinsically, requiring a lot of trial and error to navigate until he recruited the Mauler Twins and thousands of extra-dimensional versions of himself (who all has Super-Intelligence of their home dimensions but not his powers) to gain said knowledge. It killed all the versions of him and mutated him, but it worked. Increasing his intelligence, power and threat level from a amoral scientist to a world threatening menace.
    • His portals donā€™t actually take you to a different space when used, essentially shifted you across dimensions at the exact same point. This required him to drive and walk a lot to where he wants to go due to the geographic differences between dimensions. He never quiet overcomes this, instead relying on advanced technology and teleportation to make up the difference in his dimension hopping when location was a problem.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: He merely appears in less than 20 issues, and has in total 3-4 major appearances, but his hatred for Mark created many problems for Invincible to handle each time after Armstrong gets Put on the Bus.
  • Super-Intelligence: At first he was incredibly intelligent for any normal person but not smart enough use his powers to their full potential. Relying on his cunning and creativity to get by and formulate a plan to attain this through the use of countless extra-dimensional version of himself (who, theorized by him to be some cosmic order in play, all had super intelligence of their respective dimensions but not his powers) to increase his own intelligence via mental download. Despite the failure of the project it worked, giving him intimate knowledge on all things extra-dimensional to such a extent he could revolutionize an entire civilization into a godlike utopia when forced to do so.
  • Thinking Up Portals: It's his power. The downside is it only can teleport to different dimension, but same place and localization, which is why his first plan before becoming evil is to create a big machine and bring as many of his alternate version of himself as its possible to make that power better. He succeeds but unfortunately after the explosion he caused by taking off his helmet to save Mark, it majorly changes his appearence, and becomes one of most dangerous Invincible's enemies.
  • Villain Has a Point: He was correct in the fact that Mark is far from incorruptible, and with the minds of thousands of Angstroms revealing that many of his counterparts go bad with only a little push. In fact, very few of Mark's counterparts are good, and the ones that are bad usually lost loved ones. The whole invasion of Marks was composed of at least 19 of him he could personally convince.

    Dinosaurus 

Dinosaurus

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dinosaurus_invincible_comics_kirkman.jpg

A humanoid dinosaur man who manifests whenever his "counterpart", David Anders, is apathetic. He is dedicated to save the world and has the intelligence and power to do it...no matter how many lives it costs to do it.


  • Affably Evil: He can be very soft spoken, even against his opponents. And in comparision to other villains Mark faces, he's pretty gentle.
  • Anti-Villain: Well-Intentioned Extremist III Type.
  • Death Equals Redemption: After realizing all his plans are doomed to fail, he asks Mark to mercy kill him.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: At the end of the day, he earnestly cares about Invincible a great deal for taking a chance and helping him with his plans to save the world. Going as far as sacrificing his life to get Mark away from Thragg when he planned to assassinate him, which Dinosaurus only did because considered Mark an ally (he got better though). Ultimately his lack of morality and commitment to his goals is what created a rift between them, with him later begging Invincible to kill him once he realized the scope of his actions, the possibility of him being wrong and how much he hurt the one person who ever cared enough to give him a chance.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Even him, despite making very much morally questionsble choices hates Thragg and other Viltrumians.
  • Expy: Of Flash villain Gorilla Grodd, but as an obviously different species.
  • The Extremist Was Right: The reason Mark allied and befriended him. He's incredibly amoral and willing to do unspeakable things to better the world, but he's almost always right about what needs to be done to do so and just lacks a conscience to do it more humanely. With his destruction of Las Vegas creating a solar panel farm so massive and efficient it powers most of the United States and employs thousands, and his destruction of most of the polar icecaps, while drowning thousands and destroying a good chunk of coastal nations, did save the world from a climate change disaster (even if only for few hundred years) and lead to greater changes. Ultimately what makes him worse of a person is that he's aware of this and never feels bad about what he does because of it. As long as he's right and doing what he perceives as good for the world, who cares about the consequences? The answer is both, at the end of the day.
  • Genius Bruiser: One of the smartest characters in the series and one of the strongest villains in the setting in terms of raw physical ability, able to match some Viltrumites in power and make up the difference with his cunning and intellect.
  • Heel Realization: After much discussion with Mark and calculations, he realizes his Necessary Evil and Well-Intentioned Extremist plans wouldn't do much good long term and would only at best stabilize the situation for some time.
  • Hero Killer: Kills Mark in Issue 100 on live television. Except he actually only killed a clone that he made himself, teleporting away with the original.
  • Killed Off for Real: He asks Mark to kill him after discussion with him that made him realize his ways weren't that much ideal. Invincible takes no pleasure in doing that. We don't know anything what happened to his human counterpart, but he probably died with the monster side.
  • Morality Chain: Mark tries to be one for him. He fails due to being out of the picture for too long to recover from the scourge virus, leaving Dinosaurus alone for too long without his positive influence and input.
  • The Power of Apathy: How David Anders becomes Dinosaurus, if he is sufficiently bored or apathetic, the transformation happens, so while Cecil has him locked up after working this out, it is a Luxury Prison Suite, filled with games, movies and a huge tv, to stop David from turning, Mark triggers this, when he needs Dinosaurus' help, by telling David about a really dull subject, such as the most mundane parts of his backstory or the complexities of comic book industry.
  • Red Is Violent: YES.
  • Resurrective Immortality: In a roundabout sort of way. He is much less a person and more a curse his "counterpart" has, as long David Anders is alive and gets bored again and no matter how thoroughly killed Dinosaurus was beforehand, he will come back no worse for wear.
  • Super-Intelligence: His brutality is matched perfectly with his tremendous intelligence, being able to match the smartest characters in the series and exceed most of them in his ability to predict and develop strategies to counter global threats and optimize human development. With his lack of morality being the only thing holding him back.
  • The Tooth Hurts: After biting Thragg's head, he looses all of his side teeth, at least before his another resurrection.
  • The Unfettered: Will do anything for his goals to make the world a better place, regardless of what he, or the most of humanity, needs to sacrifice or how he may be perceived for what he does.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Exceedingly so. His main goal is to protect the planet. His methods including wiping Las Vegas off the map in order to install solar panels and drowning the world to reduce the population and therefore consumption. Deconstructed as his drastic solutions only provide short term benefits and not caring how many people die to implement them is a net loss of the people you're doing it for.
  • Villain Has a Point: This is the reason why Invincible wants to help him and serve as his Morality Chain of sorts.

    Doc Seismic 

Doc Seismic

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doc_seismic_001jpg.jpg

A villain with powered gauntlets (or bracelets depending on how you look at it) allowing him to manipulate the earth through seismic activity.


  • Beware the Silly Ones: Despite being defeated easily in his early appearances, at one point he captures nearly every super hero in the world. His plan worked so well it even surprised him. Probably one of the reasons Robot later killed him during his take over.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: He can manipulate the earth, including lava.
  • Expy: Of Avengers villain Graviton, although much older and kookier.
  • Took a Level in Badass: A running theme with him, as he seems to get more powerful and becomes a more deadly threat each time around. First he needed his gauntlets to be a threat, but eventually gained the ability to command the subterranean monsters his gauntlets revealed from anywhere on the globe. After one defeat, he comes across a Lava Men civilization. He becomes their leader and leads them in capturing all of the super heroes. Eventually said civilization properly assimilated him, transforming him into a massive lava monster with an even greater army and power.
  • Vibration Manipulation: He uses a pair of gauntlets that generate vibrational waves, allowing him to manipulate the earth.

    Alternate Evil Invincibles 

Alternate Mark Graysons

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

An army summoned by Angstrom Levy to Earth composed entirely of alternate, villainous versions of Invincible.


  • Affably Evil: Mohawk Invincible is shown to be surprisingly chill when Mark dropped by in his home dimension to find Angstrom Levy.
  • Alliance of Alternates: A villainous example of this trope. As is clear by now, all of them are villainous versions of Mark whom conquered their Earths instead of being it's protectors. Then with Angstrom's ability to create portals to other dimensions and/or universes, was pretty easy for him to amass an army of them.
  • Alternate Self: All of them are evil versions of Mark, most of which being a result of either; Nolan taking a different approach to parenting Mark in the Viltrumite ways and/or the death of his parents or Eveā€¦ usually by their own hands.
  • Antagonistic Offspring: Several of them claim to have killed one parent or both.
  • Asshole Victim: The remaining evil Invincibles stranded by Angstrom Levy were forced to eat each other until only two remain. Given that the evil Invincibles were homicidal maniacs in one way or another, they won't be missed.
  • Ax-Crazy: While all them are violent brutes, Sinister Mark stands out from the rest. He's the one who suggested to his fellow counterparts that they eat one another while they were stranded by Angstrom Levy. While it was initially driven by desperation, Sinister Mark eventually developed a taste for his counterpart's flesh and began hunting down his counterparts.
  • Bizarro Universe: They're all quite opposites of Mark. One of them has a moustache like Viltrumites tend to do.
  • Dropped a Bridge on Him: Most of them die off-screen at the hands of heroes in the Invincible universe, or other local Image Comics superheroes.
  • Elite Zombie: Many of the dead ones on Earth are brought back as Reani-Men by Cecil. Naturally due to being half-viltrumites, they are much more tougher than the average Reanimen (whom are already pretty deadly in of themselves).
  • Enemy Mine: Mohawk Mark teams up with Invincible to take down Sinister Mark, who was trying to eat them, as well as Angstrom levy who had stranded them in the barren dimension.
  • Evil Counterpart: All of them are evil versions of Mark. With what little was seen of them from a character standpoint, none of them have any positive traits whatsoever.
  • Evil Is Petty: Quite a few of them are being evil just because they are different.
  • Evil Overlord: What most of them became when they conquered their respective worlds, with Angstrom recruiting them being a direct result of them wanting to expand their empires across dimensional lines.
  • Good Hair, Evil Hair: Most of them have some kind of haircut or hairstyle that makes them stand out from Mark. Ironically, the Mark with the most distinguishable haircut (a mohawk) seems to be the most chill of these evil Marks, not that is saying much.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: One of them is horrifically scarred all over his head bald head. He mentions having spent a year in a Viltrumite prison, implying he was tortured in order to make him submit to the Empire.
  • Hero Killer: Make no mistake, they may have had only a couple of appearances. But they killed thousands of people, dozens heroes and villains alike. Most of their deaths were either caused by superheroes going all out to try to beat them, killing each other or heroic sacrifices made by some of the heroes. In fact one of them has stated to have killed Spawn.
  • I Am a Humanitarian: Those stranded in another desolate universe proceeded to cannibalize each other after a few days. Sinister Mark developed a taste for his counterparts' flesh and his sanity took a massive hit.
  • Patricide: A few of them killed their father. Most notably one of those that said this, wore a costume very similar to Omni-Man's too.
  • Sole Survivor: Originally, only eight were left during the events of the Invincible War. But after they start eating each other only two were left by the time Invincible returns.
  • Villain Team-Up: The evil Invincibles are only working with Levy under the promise of helping them to expand their empires into countless dimensions. But when their number's reduced to eight, they decided to end their alliance and threaten to kill Levy. But before they could can so, Levy banishes them to a desolate universe.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Many of them were defeated or killed by the heroes of Image Comics during the crossover they were part of, and not given much "screen time" or exploration into what sets them apart from Mark beyond some passing comments they make.
  • Would Hurt a Child: None of them have any qualms about killing children.

    Sequids 

Sequids

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sequids_001.jpg

A race of Starfish like aliens who crash landed on Mars centuries ago, engaging in a war of conquest until their hosts died of old age, leaving them docile and their enemies, the Martians, free to enslave them. They're able to take control of any individual, with few exceptions.


  • Expy: Of Starro the Conqueror.
  • Hive Mind: A incredibly potent one. They only need one host, a main controller, as a focal point who can then coordinate and direct the others with near instantaneous efficiency to such a degree they were able to conquer Mars without issue. Without a host however they are left next to docile and easy to handle.
  • Puppeteer Parasite: Able to take control of any organism unless the organism's skin is strong enough to not be adhered to (Invincible, Titan) or if the organism can shapeshift (The Martian race).
  • Starfish Aliens: Literally, they are starfish aliens.
  • Zerg Rush: Individually they are small and weak, but there are many of them and they use swarming tactics at such an incredible level they can overwhelm much stronger foes like The Immortal, Monster Girl, and Viltrumites, with ease.

    Powerplex 

Powerplex (Scott Duvall)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/powerplex.jpg

A researcher at the Pentagon who vowed revenge on Invincible after his sister was killed in Mark's fight with Omni-Man, stealing experimental technology from his job to give himself powers.


  • A Day In The Lime Light: His introductory issue is spent on his increasingly desperate attempts to pick a fight with Invincible, only to wind up running into almost everyone else in the superhuman community first.
  • Anti-Villain: He only wanted to kill Invincible out of misplaced blame, but he didn't want to hurt anyone else. After a particularly destructive battle, he assisted the surviving heroes clean up the rubble and rescuing civilians, and they just assumed he was another hero.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Powerplex, an electrokinetic, and his family decided to lay a trap for Invincible using his family as "hostages" while his family was tied up on a metal floor. Since metal conducts electricity, things did not end well for his family.
  • Expy: Of Spider-Man villain Electro.
  • Heelā€“Face Turn: After calming down and going to therapy, he joined the new Guardians of the Globe, and after his last fight with Invincible, he's no longer antagonistic to him.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Has this reaction when he realizes the deaths of his wife and son were his fault.
    "Everyone would still be alive if it wasn't for you! They would—they'd be—they'd—-Oh, God...they're dead. They're..dead..."
  • Never My Fault: Initially, when his family gets killed by his powers, he blames Invincible right away. Though Invincible points out just how it is his fault, and at the same time, how all sorts of other deaths are his fault and they weigh on him every day.
  • Outliving One's Offspring
  • Power Incontinence: He has the ability to absorb kinetic energy and fire it back in electrical bursts, but as he absorbs the energy he had no control over how to contain it. This led to his family dying as he was unable to direct the electrical flow as Invincible overloaded him with power.
  • Psycho Electro: He's a mentally unstable superhuman with electrical powers. He gets worse after accidentally killing his wife and son, though with time he gets better.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: He's motivated by his belief that Invincible and Omni-Man are secretly working together. By the time he kicks his plan to kill Mark into high gear, he's actually right, but it's because Omni-Man has betrayed his people to protect the Earth.
  • Tragic Villain: His revenge on Mark becomes more From Bad to Worse.

    Lizard League 

Lizard League

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lizard_league_001jpg.jpg

A group of snake-themed villains.


  • Curb-Stomp Battle: On the receiving end in most of their appearances, except for when they defeated the Guardians of the Globe without their usual powerhouses, resulting in Rex losing a hand and the death of Shrinking Ray.
  • Mooks: The Lizard League soldiers.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Not that they were ever harmless, but they are easily defeated in early appearances. Later on, when a team of only Rex-Splode, Shrinking Ray, and Dupli-Kate show up to stop them, they easily defeat the 3 heroes, killing Shrinking Ray, crippling Rex-Splode for a duration and leaving Dupli-kate presumed dead.

    Octoboss 

Octoboss

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/unnamed_596.png

An octopus villain that originates from another world and has a horrible vocabulary of the human language.


  • You No Take Candle: Justified. he originates from another world making the language of humans to be alien to him. However, he takes a good amount of effort to learn the human language, but it results in him speaking like a "retard," which Invincible lampshades on. Octoboss finds Invincible's insults to be ridiculous considering he is taking time to learn a new language.
    Octoboss: You am big hero. Octoboss see you in television. Me not care how large big hero be. You is fool face Octoboss. Me did not instigate fight. I minding am own business—killing many enemies. Not you—you no reason at attack.
    Invincible:You sound totally retarded.

    Octoboss: Me come here from other world! Beginning am misunderstood—shout but not heard. Me take time off to learn language of enemy. Me place effort am task. All get I be ridiculed?! Octoboss killing you for insult!''

    Monax 

Monax

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/902d0f2f_8212_40d3_b2db_eecf9f0e62f5.jpeg
The Last Flaxan Emperor

A few months after Monster Girl and Robot departed the Flaxan Dimension, confident that they had done enough to change their society to an extent theyā€™d never invade again, he and his newly minted Flaxan empire appeared. Leading the most brutal and effective Flaxan invasion to date, it took most of Earth's active heroes to take him and his army down.
He is in reality the son of Monster Girl and the Late Zall Zaxal, the last female heir of the Zaxal royal family. With his primary reason to coming to Earth to enact revenge against Monster Girl and Robot, whose (legitimate or not) crimes against him and his people spurring him on.


  • Alternate Company Equivalent: Monax is the half-breed offspring of resident HULK MASH!-Up Monster Girl and Zall Zaxal and comes to Earth to kill his father. He's pretty much the Image equivalent of Skaar after Monster Girl had her own Planet Hulk adventure.
  • Anti-Villain: Despite initial conflict between him and Earth's heroes, he's later shown to be not such a bad person and eventually buries the hatchet with his father, Amanda aka. Monster Girl.
  • Heelā€“Face Turn: Although it's eventually revealed he's never been evil to begin with, he formally allies himself with Earth's heroes in opposition to Rex Robot's rule.
  • Nice Guy: Despite his intimidating size and sheer might, he's shown to be actually quite noble and eloquent, and sympathetic towards Monster Girl's plight after Rex Robot initiates his hostile takeover of Earth.
  • Parent-Child Team: After his Heelā€“Face Turn Monax becomes this with his father, Monster Girl.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Gives this speech to Monster Girl while she's berating herself for having loved Rex Robot and not realizing what a horrible person he is until it was too late.

The Order

    In General 

In General

A mafia like group of villains. They later mainly cause trouble for the Guardians of the Globe.


  • Card-Carrying Villain: They're pretty much built around this concept, as Set explains.
    "I've heard it said, everyone is the hero of their own story. The thought is that even the most vile villain believes his actions to be right and thinks of himself as "good". I am here to tell you, right now, that I am evil. I am greedy, selfish, I do not care for the plight of others. The citizen walks among us but he is not one of us. He goes about his daily life unaware of the dangers that surround him. The dangers people like us bring to his doorstep. We are better than the citizen. We are aware of the evils of the world and we celebrate them...Profit from them. Money and power. That is our desire. That is the foundation of the Order...That is what brings us together."
  • Legion of Doom: They are a large group of villains from around the world.
  • Take Over the World: Their main goal.

    Set 

Set

An alien warmonger and the leader of the Order.


  • Cain and Abel: He and his brother Osiris don't get along very much. With their status as a pair of super strong warriors with insane durability, their fights tend to result in collateral death tolls in the hundreds.
  • Fights Like a Normal: The rules of engagement he and his brother agreed to require both of them to never use their powers when they begin the path to conquest. If they do, they have to abandon their current plot and start over. Osiris doesn't bother but Set adamantly refuses to break this rule and actively refuses to use his ability to paralyze people with a look.
  • Honor Before Reason: His commitment to the rules of engagement are so fervent that, even when every hero present (save for Japandroid) is frozen in place, Set never takes advantage of the situation and instead ends his assault and retreats to lick his wounds.
  • Verbal Tic: Constantly refers to ordinary people as "the citizen", like they're some uniform entity.

  • From Nobody to Nightmare: Goes from being street-level fodder to the head of organized super-crime in the U.S. Subverted in that he isn't particularly good at running things at that level and finds himself enmeshed in a near-constant gang war with foreign villains contesting his claims.
  • Genius Bruiser: A criminal mastermind with a superpower that makes him stronger than any ordinary human. Among superheroes, Titan's power is actually relatively weak, making his intelligence much more crucial to his advancement in the world.

  • Our Dragons Are Different: Can project his soul out of his body which takes the form of a large Eastern themed dragon.
  • Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: The rampaging dragon that devastated his homeland and killed his family in his youth was sealed inside him with the help of a gathering of sorcerers from multiple regions. The strain of keeping such a mighty entity trapped inside him started to show in later years, forcing him to slowly replace failing body parts with artificial implants.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Does he thank the heroes for saving his life? Nope, he just promises retribution the next time he shows up.
