Guardians of Globe

Mark Grayson: A 17-year-old high school student and a Viltrumite/human hybrid who becomes the superhero Invincible. Nolan Grayson: Mark's father, Debbie's husband, and formerly the greatest superhero of Earth known as Omni-Man. He was originally sent by the Viltrumites to prepare the Earth to be conquered by them, but has a change of heart and begins showing compassion for others after nearly killing Mark after his secret is revealed. He works together with Mark, Allen, and his second son Oliver to combat the upcoming threat of the Viltrumites before he is crowned their new emperor when it's revealed he was the son of Emperor Argall. Debbie Grayson: Mark's mother, Nolan's wife, and stepmother of Oliver Grayson. Lord Argall: The former emperor of the Viltrumites and the father of Omni-Man and grandfather of Invincible and Oliver Grayson. He was revealed to have been killed by Thaedus which plunged Viltrum into a civil war. Oliver Grayson: Mark's alien half-brother. The result of a relationship between Nolan and a member of the Thraxans named Andressa, who have short life spans, growing at a rapidly increased rate compared to humans, though his father's DNA is slowing his aging over time. Although his mother is an insectoid, he resembles a Viltrumite/human with purple skin (later fades to pink). Andressa tells Mark to take Oliver to Earth, so that he can have a life with the people there, because their lifespan is longer than her people's and he gets adopted by Debbie. He first takes the sobriquet of Kid Omni-Man and then Young Omni-Man as he attempts to rehabilitate the memory of Omni-Man in the general public. Kid Omni-Man was later killed by Thragg. Terra Grayson: The daughter of Atom Eve and Mark Grayson who would go on to become the third Invincible. Markus Murphy: Also known as Marky, he is the son of Mark and Anissa after the latter raped the former. He would go on to become Kid Invincible. Superheroes edit Atom Eve: Samantha Eve Wilkins is a former classmate of Mark's and member of the Teen Team. Eve was created as a result of a government experiment to create a human super-weapon for the military. She was born with an extensive knowledge of biological and chemical sciences and can manipulate all matter on a molecular level, although a neural mental block was implanted while she was a fetus that stops her from manipulating living animals and other beings. In the event of a severe enough or near-fatal trauma she is able to break her mental block and her powers are bolstered to nigh-omnipotent levels for a few seconds. Eventually, she and Mark realize their true feelings for each other and the pair start dating, fall in love, and get married after Eve gives birth to their daughter Terra. Allen the Alien: Previously a Champion Evaluation Officer who worked for the Coalition of Planets, he tested the skills of various powered heroes on each planet in order to determine if there was a suitable "champion" who could defeat a Viltrumite. He was born in a breeding program after his race was almost eradicated by the Viltrumites. He was bred to hopefully be able to defeat a Viltrumite and was the only successful child born of the program. He was later promoted to leader of the Coalition of Planets after the death of Thaedus by Thragg during their failed sneak attack on Viltrum and led the Coalition of Planets in the war against Thragg and his Thraxan/Vilturm hybrid army. The Guardians of the Globe: A superhero team. The original incarnation was brutally murdered by Omni-Man. A second incarnation was formed led by Robot until he went off to fight the Flaxans and then a third incarnation was formed that lasted until Robot's coup. The Immortal: Unkillable leader of the Guardians of the Globe and currently married to Dupli-Kate. He can resurrect himself as long as most of his body parts are near each other. He was a Celtic warrior who got exposed to a meteor radiation that gave him his powers. It is suggested in flashbacks that one of his past identities was in fact Abraham Lincoln. In the present storyline, he is alive and was briefly beheaded by Omni-Man during his massacre on the Guardians of the Globe. The Mauler Twins dug up his body and reattached his head causing Immortal to live again. Revealed to rule the world as a mad tyrant in the far alternate future, he is killed by a time-travelling Invincible at Immortal's behest, and his body parts are separated and buried far away from each other blocking his ability to resurrect. Invincible prevents the future Immortal from going mad in his own timeline by giving Immortal the assistance of Robot's brain to rule with suggestive guidance after Invincible leaves him in charge of Earth following Robot's downfall.

Each change into monster form causes her normal self to become physically younger, until her boyfriend, Robot, figures out a solution that halts those side-effects of the curse and allows her to develop normally. She follows Robot through a portal to fight the Flaxans, where they both become trapped for nearly a millennium of subjective time in the Flaxan dimension before returning to their home dimension only a year after departure (Amanda with a body that has aged by 12 years). She rebels against Robot when she finds out he tried to have her son, whom she had not previously been aware of, executed. Shapesmith: A Martian disguised as human astronaut Rus Livingston who uses his metamorphic powers to change his shape. Believing himself to be a freedom fighter on Mars, he inadvertently causes the takeover of Mars by the Sequids. He is later killed by Robot, whom he'd always considered a friend.

Mark works for Cecil after Omni-Man abandons Earth, but quits after discovering Cecil has hired on some of the villains Mark had defeated and thought were being punished to work at the GDA to create new technology and means of protecting the Earth.

Reanimen - A group of cyborg zombies intended to be "the soldiers of the future". Battle Beast: Thokk is a white lion-like alien. After liberating his home world from alien oppressors he became obsessed with fighting and felt an insatiable need to engage in combat. His only goal in life being to find a champion who could best him battle. First thought of as a villain in Invicible's initial encounter with him, Battle Beast turned out to be mostly neutral, not caring for good or bad, and lived only for combat and so would go wherever he could find it. He was imprisoned on the same Viltrumite Prison Warship where Allen the Alien and Nolan were held. Allen used Battle Beast's lust for battle to convince him into helping with their jailbreak and later joining up with the Coalition of Planets against Thragg by promising lots of combat and fighting against the Viltrumites, the strongest beings in the universe. Battle Beast and Thragg eventually met in hand-to-hand combat where they battled non-stop causing massive damage across the planet upon which they fought. After several days, Thragg was barely able to beat Battle Beast with Battle Beast's final words being "Thank you." Battle Beast had a daughter who ended up inheriting her father's unquenchable craving for combat. Battle Beast is also the protagonist of his own series detailing his appearances between 19 and 55 of the Invincible series.[9] Enemies edit David Hiles: A former weapons engineer for a military-sanctioned research firm who turned to teaching physics at "Reginald Vel Johnson High School" after his son's suicide and his own subsequent divorce and unemployment. He blamed his son's death on high school bullies and "popular" kids, and started kidnapping students and then turning them into human bombs that he'd set off at malls and other teenager hangouts.

Invincible uses superspeed-flight to fly Hiles to Antarctica where his suicide bomb goes off.

Not an actual robot, but a drone body controlled by a malformed human named Rudolph Connors living in a life-support tank, he cloned a new human body for himself using Rex Splode's DNA with the help of the Mauler Twins. Afterward, Robot would become romantically involved with Monster Girl. In Issue #71, he and Monster Girl disappear into a Flaxan portal and return several issues later. Changed from the time he spent in the Flaxan dimension, he becomes an antagonist to Invincible and other heroes who oppose him. Mauler Twins: An evil super-strong blue-skinned genius scientist and his clone who perfected cloning technology. They continuously argue as to which is the original, their rivalry driving their passion to create more and more advanced technology. They aid Angstrom Levy in his attempt to collect the knowledge of every multi-universal Levy into the Levy of their universe, which leads to deaths of several alternate-universe Maulers. During a fight against the Guardians of the Globe, both Mauler Twins are killed by Kid Omni-Man, who alleges it was accidental. They come back later with one of them explaining that they have countermeasures in case both of them die.

He stole Black Samson's super suit, went on a rampage, and later ended up incarcerated.

In an attempt to amass a huge amount of knowledge about the multi-verse that he believes he'll be able to use to better his world, he builds a machine with the aid of the Mauler Twins that connects him to the mind of every Angstrom Levy in every universe. The machine explodes mid-process, causing a chain reaction that disfigures him and wipes out every other Angstrom Levy. He goes mad from having so minds collected in his own, becoming obsessed with torturing and killing Invincible, whom he blames for the incident. Angstrom uses his ability to travel to other universes to heal and strengthen himself while also on multiple occasions using his portals to attack Invincible, Debbie, Oliver, and Eve, and in one attempt imports several evil Invincibles from alternate universes to cause destruction and havoc. Levy eventually regains his sanity thanks to Eve, but is then abducted by one of the surviving alternate-universe Invincibles and taken to that Invincible's universe where he is tortured. Angstrom Levy is eventually beheaded by Robot when Mark's corresponding obsession pushes him to follow Levy into that other universe with Robot's help.
