Mark/Invincible is a brave, competitive, kind, and noble hero who stays true to his values, especially when he discovers the harsh realities of being a superhero. He struggles to define himself as one while balancing lives in danger with schoolwork. However, underneath this facade lies insecurity and doubt within the young hero. Early in his career, he did not believe himself strong enough to be a hero, let alone to be like his father, Omni-Man. Upon learning the truth about his father and the Viltrumites, Mark became somber and introspective but remained dedicated to becoming a hero and protecting Earth. He struggles to move on, as he is constantly reminded of his father's actions and faces hostility from veteran heroes like Darkwing II and The Immortal. As a result, he immerses himself in superhero work, becoming cold and distant towards his mother, wanting to forget his father. Ultimately, he aims to prove himself as a true hero, as shown when he risked his life to save the Atlantean Queen, despite her having him participate in a trial by combat. Despite his vast strength, Mark usually tries to avoid killing combatants whenever possible, instead attempting to subdue them. Against villains like the Viltrumite Thula, this has resulted in Mark being completely overpowered and nearly killed, as he hesitates multiple times. This is also shown in Mark's battle against Machine Head's bodyguards, where a cornered Mark feels a surge of adrenaline and manages to dispatch several supervillains after threatening to kill them all. When his family or friends are directly threatened, he can easily lose himself in his rage, as demonstrated when he ruthlessly attacked foes like the Flaxan Leader for threatening Atom Eve despite their pleas, Angstrom Levy after a brief exchange, and Conquest for merely appearing at a time where he was emotionally vulnerable (and threatening him due to his lack of progress in subjugating the Earth). However, after his battle with Conquest, he ultimately comes to agree with his younger brother with the fact that it may be best to kill whoever threatens his family. Mark's strong sense of justice is also flawed as he, despite his intentions, is never good with handling diplomatic matters and resorts to violence rather than facing the person who challenges his worldview head-on. For example his confrontation with Anissa in which she calls him out for the ignorance of logic that she presents him with and he took had to agree in some degree that she was right, not before being beaten by her for his retaliation. He has also been called out by Cecil for his arrogance and ego for the similar reasons as Anissa but more so to make him understand about the larger issues that go into keeping Earth safe rather than focusing on just letting villains rot in jail without a chance to redeem themselves, seek therapeutic help that was missing from much of their lives and being a major factor of their actions and lastly to utilize their abilities to save people. However, Mark remained stubborn and arrogant in the face of Cecil's pleas, making him resort to using harsh methods to immobilize him in self-defense, which further damaged their professional relationship and caused many of the members of the Guardians of the Globe to leave the organization after seeing Cecil's extreme methods. This continued with Mark being unable to grasp the concept of killing irredeemable opponents and instead always resorting to hold back and use the justice system to deal with the person. This has been a subject of discussion ever since his father scolded him for holding back in a fight to the death, Oliver's reasoning of stopping the enemies like the Mauler twins permanently due to their actions hurting people and their constant escapes from prisons being a supporting argument to Mark's no kill rule. When Cecil calls out Mark sarcastically for Oliver's killing of the Maulers, he resorts with extreme force, even going so far as to break into his headquarters after suspecting the G.D.A using snarly tactics to spy over his family. After the Invincible war and surviving his battle with Conquest, Invincible is now left with a changed perspective, and reveals that from now on he will kill any or all enemies if it meant protecting his friends and family. He also somewhat fixes his fractured relations with Cecil who aided Oliver and showed up to save him and Atom Eve at the end of his battle with Conquest. Through Powerplex, he was reminded of the horrors left in the wake of his father's rampage in Chicago and felt guilty for being the reason that Powerplex became the violent individual that he is today. When confronting Powerplex, he doesn't fight back and tries his best to talk things out and give Powerplex some much needed help and closure. However, his efforts prove futile, as Mark struggles to articulate the depth of his sympathy for Powerplex's losses, resorting to tell him how he remembers the people who he lost. However, due to Powerplex's delusions and overwhelming hatred, he snarls back at him, rejecting his sincere attempts at an apology.
