This popular animated series comes from the mind of The Waking Dead’s Robert Kirkman. It follows Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), an average teenager who discovers he’s the son of the all-powerful Omni-Man.
Soon after, he learns he has powers too. Sadly that’s where the fun ends for poor Mark. When he finds out his father was actually sent to enslave the Earth and not protect it, he’s forced to choose between humanity and family.

“By focusing beyond generic cliches, it shows us once again why it’s the best superhero show in the game,” said Inverse writer Lyvie Scott.
“While this season might not feature as many bombastic set pieces as in previous seasons, it trades those moments out for deeper character development,” added ComicBook.com’s Logan Moore.
Screen Rant added “After two stellar seasons, Invincible season 3 increases the moral and emotional complexity, enhancing Mark’s story and the viewer experience.”
Meanwhile, Collider said that the show “remains one of the greatest superhero sagas ever to hit the small screen.”
What is Invincible about?
As mentioned above, Invincible follows the young superhero in its title, also known as teenager Mark Grayson.
Season one sees Mark forced to balance everyday high-school life with battling his evil Dad Omni-Man AKA Nolan Grayson (Simmons) and becoming part of Earth’s superhero protectors overseen by the ruthless Cecil Stedman (Walton Goggins).
Meanwhile, season two finds Nolan off-Earth in an alien jail while Mark is trained up by Cecil before being pulled into a multiverse battle with a new evil foe.
Invincible grabbed headlines for its gripping story and unflinching depiction of superhero violence. Produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the series also featured a host of big-star names like Gillian Jacobs, Sandra Oh, Mark Hamill, Ben Schwartz and many more.
Season three sees Breaking Bad stars Aaron Paul and Jonathan Banks join its cast.
