INVINCIBLE centres on Mark Grayson, a seventeen-year-old who develops powers inherited from his father — Earth's most powerful hero — only to find that the legacy he has grown up admiring hides a dangerous conspiracy. As Mark learns to fight, he is also forced to reassemble his understanding of who his father really is. That mix of superhero action and parental betrayal carries across animation, comics, and games about young heroes stepping into — or out from under — a legend.
Invincible is an American adult animated superhero television series created by Robert Kirkman for the streaming service Amazon Prime Video, based on the Image Comics comic book series of the same name he co-created with Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley. It is produced by Skybound Entertainment, Wind Sun Sky Entertainment, Point Grey Pictures, and Amazon MGM Studios. The series follows teenager Mark Grayson, a human-alien hybrid, who becomes a crime-fighting superhero known as "Invincible" under the guidance of his father, Nolan / Omni-Man, the most powerful superhero on the planet. As he adjusts to his new powers, Mark struggles to balance his personal life with his superhero duties and is forced to prove that he can live up to his father, unaware of a conspiracy that threatens the world and leading him to question the true nature of his role. Steven Yeun stars in the series as Mark, alongside J. K. Simmons and Sandra Oh as Mark's father and mother, Nolan and Debbie Grayson, respectively, while the remaining cast members have recurring roles.
