The Voices Behind the Characters: Meet the Cast of Invincible!

Invincible season two was released on March 13, 2024, and if you’ve not seen this animated superhero show yet, you’re missing out on a wild ride. We’re talking blood, guts, and some seriously messed-up supervillains. But that’s what makes it so damn good!

Invincible is an adult animated superhero series based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley. It follows the story of a seemingly ordinary 17-year-old named Mark Grayson, who happens to be the son of Omni-Man, the most powerful superhero on Earth.

Although it may seem cool to have a superhero dad, Mark faces immense pressure due to his father’s status. Eventually, he also develops his powers and becomes a superhero, taking on the name Invincible. However, things take a dark turn when Mark finds out that his father is actually part of a conquering alien race known as the Viltrumites.

This revelation throws Mark’s world into chaos, forcing him to confront his father and question everything he thought he knew about being a hero.

Invincible is not your typical superhero story.

It’s brutal, it’s emotional, and it doesn’t shy away from the consequences of violence. But it’s also incredibly well-written, with complex characters and a plot that keeps you guessing, powered by a talented cast of voice actors who give life to them on-screen.

Here is the star-studded lineup of the Invincibles:

What Makes Invincible So Special?

Invincible isn’t afraid to get dark and gritty. It explores the psychological toll of violence and the complexities of morality in a way that few superhero shows do. It also tackles mature themes like family, relationships, trauma, and the burden of responsibility.

The animation style is another highlight. It’s a beautiful blend of classic superhero aesthetics with a modern edge, and the action sequences are absolutely breathtaking. The show might have graphic violence, but it’s there to emphasize the stakes and the consequences of Mark’s actions.

Invincible is a must-watch for any fan of superhero stories, animation, or just good television in general. It’s a show that will stay with you long after you finish watching, leaving you questioning everything you thought you knew about heroes and villains.
