While Invincible is nowadays known largely thanks to the excellent animated series streamed on Prime Video, it dates back to the early 2000s.
Invincible VS
Release Date: April 30, 2026
Genres: Fighting
It started as a comic book written by Robert Kirkman (of The Walking Dead fame), with the original run going for fifteen years between 2003 and 2018, published by Image Comics.
What is Invincible like?
One of its core aspects is being a superhero story, full of flying brick-type characters, spectacular superpowers, magic, alternate dimensions, fancy technology and everything else that characterizes popular superhero universes.
The second core is a story about people who are, fundamentally, well, people, not heroic archetypes. It’s the kind of series that’s happy to shift from a battle against invading aliens to an awkward dinner if that’s where the characters’ lives take them. The slice-of-life elements give important context to the stakes of the big events, which is just good writing.
And not much of it matters for Invincible VS, actually,
What is Invincible VS
Invincible VS is a fighting game focused on 3v3 tag tam battles between various characters from the invincible universe. It features:
- fast-paced, superpowered battles between heroes, villains and people with negotiable moralities.
- more than a little of the series’ thematically motivated brutal graphic violence, since many characters are very capable of reducing others into meaty chunks.
- multiple modes, including a Story Mode, Arcade battles, robust Training, and multiplayer options both ranked and casual.
There is also a very strong roster of characters for you to play. While the game will teach you organically what you need to know of their playstyles, let’s give them a small introduction regarding their place in the story, shall we?

Who’s that?
A powerful leonine alien driven by his thirst for a good fight. He’s one of the most powerful brawlers in the series, with unmatched ferocity and polished skill, but he doesn’t fight without a healthy dose of honor, which makes him a valuable ally, as long you promise a good scrap.

Dupli-Kate
First appearance in the show: Season 1, Episode 2
Who’s that?
A young superheroine, with a power to create clones of herself, as her super-nickname might suggest. She occasionally comes across as jaded, because she keeps seeing her copies die around her and feels their pain and emotions. Few people would keep a chipper attitude in that situation.

Who’s that?

Mark Grayson (Invincible)
First appearance in the show: Season 1, Episode 1
Who’s that?
The main character of the show, Mark Grayson is a young half-human, half-Viltrumite hero and the show revolves largely around his struggles in both heroic and personal life, especially when they intersect.

Monster Girl
First appearance in the show: Season 1, Episode 3
Who’s that?
A young superheroine capable of transforming into a powerful demonic form. It might sound handy, but the downside is that spending time in that state de-ages her real body.

Omni-Man
First appearance in the show: Season 1, Episode 1
Who’s that?
Omni-Man, also known as Nolan, is the main antagonist of the show’s season 1. He’s an experienced Viltrumite warrior, one of their finest and most high-ranking members. He’s also Mark’s father and it is cause for as much drama and conflict as you might suspect.

Powerplex is a superpowered antagonist with a special hatred reserved for Invincible due to personal losses. He can absorb kinetic energy and convert it to electric energy as a means of attack.
Rex Splode
First appearance in the show: Season 1, Episode 2
Who’s that?
Rex is a young superhero capable of changing objects with explosive force and using them as impromptu grenades, not unlike Marvel’s Gambit. Unlike Gambit, however, Rex is usually abrasive, immature, and subtle as a brick, causing much strife between him and everybody in the vicinity, even those who know his heart is on the right side.
Robot
First appearance in the show: Season 1, Episode 2
Who’s that?
Robot is a mechanical superhero exhibiting exceptional intelligence and engineering know-how. Since the character develops a fair bit over the course of the story, it would be unfair to spoil it, however.
Thula
First appearance in the show: Season 2, Episode 3 (proper debut)
Who’s that?
An elder Viltrumite woman using an unusual primary weapon. While most of her kind are brawlers, she uses a dagger tied into her braid like a rope dart to strike at short/medium range. She’s every bit as ruthless and cold as other Vultrimites, and the command of a complex weapon proves her precise skill and practice.
Titan
First appearance in the show: Season 1, Episode 1
Who’s that?
Titan is an enforcer for the crime boss Machine Head, a job he’s very good at thanks to his ability to turn his skin into rock, granting him fantastic durability and strength. Despite working is an enforcer, he’s also a capable leader with a good strategic sense, and in the show he’s also a devoted father and husband.
Planned additions
The characters above are just the launch roster, but there’ve already been characters announced as future DLC releases.
One is Immortal, an ancient superhero who truly lives up to his name, having survived ridiculous harm many times and still returning for another fight.
