The personal issues in his life balance his work fighting various dangers. Things then progress well as Adam becomes involved with the up and coming team. The story starts well, the opening episode sets up the assumed protagonists before its shocking conclusion. There are moments of extreme violence, some robust language and some sex references. will he be able to balance his new superhero responsibilities with a developing relationship? I really enjoyed this series its look reminded me of the superhero cartoons I watched as a child but its tone was distinctly for older viewers. As the series progresses Mark develops his skills and helps take on various villains he also befriends fellow superhero Atom Eve who helps him get closer to schoolmate Amber Bennett. The identity of the killer isn't hidden from the viewer but the authorities, who have their suspicions can't act yet. He ends up working with a group of junior superheroes who find themselves promoted to the big leagues when the premier superhero team is eliminated in an attack. This happens in the first episode and he sets about finding a superhero identity and learning how to use his skills. What nobody around him knows is that his father is Omni-Man, the world's most powerful superhero, and that Mark should gain the same powers very shortly. Mark Greyson appears to be an ordinary high school student if anything he is a little weak, getting beaten up after trying to stand up for a girl. If you haven't seen this yet, check it out, well worth the watch, just make sure your got plenty of munches around as you won't want to leave.
Also loving the little additions to the story and the alterations to the source material. Had me on the edge my seat, jumping in the air for excitement. This show has to be one of my new favourites out there, great story, great voice actors, awesome animation and wow the carnage is just top level. Sit back and enjoy, just don't forget the popcorn! Update from s01 finale, just wow, that was an awesome, adrenaline fuelled first series, I can not wait for the next instalment, bring on Conquest!!! If you haven't read the comics I won't spoil what is next to come. And if you haven't read the source material maybe watching this will get you interested. Hell to the yes, so far off to a very strong start, some nice changes to the source material (These aren't major changes more rearranging of events), I would recommend giving this a try, the animation is fantastic, an all star cast of actors, and an awesome eventful story, I look forward to seeing where the show will take us. However, a problem was that the side stories did not affect the main story much. The variety of subplots and the dark main story made this show felt unique. Some were quite shocking or sweet, like the Robot and Titan plots. Plot-wise, there were multiple side-stories. The main protagonist, Invincible, had decent development, but his character wasn't too unique. As the mystery became closer to be revealed, he became more menacing and fearsome. Simmons, was the most interesting and mysterious. Character-wise, Omni-man, voiced wonderfully by the J. This was abundantly clear at the last episode. It was not just for gore sake, but it emphasized the disturbing plot. As much as I loved the gore, I appreciated that the gore served a purpose. This created a huge mystery that stayed in my mind as I continued to watch the show until the end. This was a very gory and violent superhero series. The first episode had a pretty similar feel to The Boys, but then it all changed at the end of the episode. Thank goodness it's been renewed for seasons 2 & 3. It's character-drama, action-adventure, 'cape-opera', and universe-making stuff that proves it's truly special. Invincible feels like an extension of the shows so many of us grew up with, and a maturing of the kinds of stories Bruce Timm started off years ago, without losing the sense of superhero fun. However, the 'splashes' of humour and quippy dialogue IS something Invincible does honour and lean into when it comes to revering other superhero shows like Batman this show takes something like the DCAU and decides to use it as a launchpad for Uber-violence and character-centric world-building focusing on sex and grey morality in a MARVEL-like universe.
Considering both are Image properties, it's also no surprise that the violence in them is something that a Bruce-Timm-Batman cartoon wouldn't touch with a ten-foot poll, or Spider-Man toons even.
Invincible takes the classic Image Comics series and gives us the best mature animated superhero series since Spawn: The Animated Series.
