Appearance
Physique
Mark has black hair with a widows-peak that is combed back with a few strands sticking up, and brown eyes, similar to his main self
Clothing
Invincible's hair sticks out of the top of his suit which has a yellow mask with goggles. The suit is yellow down the middle, stopping at his waist in an upside-down triangle shape, it also bears blue on the shoulders and going into the yellow in somewhat of an M shape. The rest of his costume is black aside from the yellow gloves and blue boots that start from his knee's down.
Personality
This version of Mark is portrayed as an evil and delusional zealot, fully committed to advancing the goals of the Viltrum Empire. He consistently frames his cruelty as benevolent, claiming to act in the interest of saving lives despite being directly responsible for widespread destruction and loss of life.
He demonstrates this mindset in his treatment of others. When confronting Immortal, he insists his actions are justified, even as he devastates entire cities. He cripples Atom Eve by breaking her spine, leaving her paralyzed, while claiming that his personal feelings for her are the only reason he spares her life, stating that he “cannot allow her to hurt anyone else.” He routinely shifts blame onto those who resist him, portraying their opposition as the true cause of the suffering he creates, whether through genuine delusion or willful denial of responsibility.
His distorted perspective allows him to carry out extreme acts of violence without displaying overt hatred towards his victims. Despite being responsible for Eve’s condition, he expresses an intention to have her cared for and suggests visiting her, demonstrating a complete disconnect from the harm he has caused. He shows little regard for human life or emotional well-being, particularly towards the resistance fighters, maintaining a calm, condescending demeanor when confronting or killing individuals such as Angstrom, regardless of their fear or anger.
History
Backstory
Mark Grayson was born to Nolan Grayson, a Viltrumite male, and Debbie Grayson, a human female. At some point, Mark would gain his abilities and become the superhero known as "Invincible". Sometime later, Mark would have a temporary relationship with another hero, Atom Eve. While initially against his father's offer in joining the Viltrum Empire, for unknown reasons, he ultimately came to see Nolan's side of things and agreed to help him conquer Earth.
Decimating Earth
After accepting the offer, the duo decimated Earth, leaving only a small handful of heroes and human armies to stop them, along with causing Eve to turn against him after learning of his sinister actions. They also presumably destroyed the Global Defense Agency, killed the Guardians of the Globe and any remaining heroes left such as Rex Splode, leaving only heroes like Eve, Robot, and the Immortal to fight back against them.
At another point, Invincible finally managed to kill Rex.
Invincible's demand to the world.
At another point, He and Omni-Man had killed thousands of people because of Eve's team during their attempts to swoon the earth over to their leisure.
Destroying the Resistance
Invincible and Omni-Man look at Eve (off-screen).
Invincible would be seen in the skies fighting against the Immortal. With Nolan's help, Invincible was able to get the upper hand against him and permanently kill him off by crushing his decapitated head. While Nolan remarks on his disappointment with the Immortal's resistance, the two of them realize that he was merely a distraction as they discovered an underground resistance team in the wreckage of the city. Upon discovering the location of their enemies, they realized that the rebellion was being led by Robot and Eve, two of the few heroes who remained in the aftermath of their oppressive rule. While Omni-Man confronted Robot, Mark faced off against Eve, who still harbored a twisted sense of care for him. Ultimately, Mark decides to spare Eve by paralyzing her, explaining that he has "friends" who would take care of her so he can visit her during his spare time. After dealing with all the heroes, Invincible and Omni-Man eliminated the last of the resistance, but not before one of them managed to escape.
Afterwards, the two went out for dinner, possibly to Burger Mart, as Omni-Man was hungry after missing lunch due to a riot in Bangkok.
Legacy
The Angstrom of the main universe, would be traumatized by this Angstrom's memory of Invincible as well as the memories of many other of his variants which would drive him to seek vengeance on the mainstream Invincible.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Viltrumite-Human Physiology: Although Corrupted Invincible is technically a Viltrumite-Human hybrid, the dominance of his Viltrumite genetics renders him nearly indistinguishable from a full-blooded Viltrumite.
- Decelerated Aging: Corrupted Invincible possesses an exceptionally prolonged lifespan due to his biology, which causes him to age increasingly slower over time. This decelerated aging allows him to maintain peak health, physical conditioning, and combat performance for thousands of years.
- Dominant Genes: Viltrumites genetics are incredibly potent and adaptive. Corrupted Invincible, like others of his kind, can reproduce with a wide range of species, with his Viltrumite DNA overwhelmingly asserting itself in the offspring. As a result, the child will typically inherit predominantly Viltrumite traits, often appearing and functioning almost entirely as a Viltrumite. The more genetically compatible the mate’s species is, the faster and more reliably the offspring will manifest the full range of standard Viltrumite abilities.
- Flight: Corrupted Invincible, due to a complex balancing system located in his inner ears, possesses the ability to levitate and propel himself through the air at will, capable of reaching extreme speeds. He can effortlessly alter his trajectory mid-flight, allowing for sharp turns, sudden stops, and precise aerial maneuvering. His control enables seamless navigation through a wide range of environments.
- Superhuman Strength: Corrupted Invincible possesses considerable physical strength. In his reality, he rose to power alongside his father, Omni-Man, and participated in the decimation of most of Earth’s population. During a pivotal confrontation, Corrupted Invincible battled the Immortal and held his own in a fierce exchange. Though the Immortal managed to temporarily gain the upper hand by grabbing Corrupted Invincible by the throat, Corrupted Invincible’s punches were noted to be more powerful. The fight ended when Omni-Man intervened and decapitated the Immortal. Following this, Corrupted Invincible demonstrated his brutal efficiency by crushing the Immortal’s severed head, permanently killing him. In a later encounter with Atom Eve, Corrupted Invincible effortlessly shattered her energy constructs and ultimately paralyzed her from the neck down.
- Nigh-Invulnerability: Corrupted Invincible possesses exceptional durability, allowing him to resist most forms of physical trauma with only minor visible damage.
- Superhuman Speed: Corrupted Invincible has steadily displayed exceptional speed that enables him to move, react, and fly at velocities far beyond human limits and faster than most super-powered beings on Earth.
- Regenerative Healing Factor: Corrupted Invincible possesses an incredible healing factor. It enable him to heal broken bones, torn muscles, and damaged organs without any lasting effects, even restore certain lost anatomy like teeth. This healing ability is highly dependent on the severity of the injury. The recovery rate depend on the severity of the injury. Minor harm takes mere minutes to at most a few days, whereas more grievous harm can takes weeks or even months. Additionally, Corrupted Invincible is virtually immune to most illnesses and contaminants, making him highly resistant to various environmental and biological threats.
- Superhuman Lung Capacity: Corrupted Invincible possesses extraordinary lung capacity, allowing him to survive without air for extended periods. This ability enables him to operate unhindered in oxygen-deprived environments, such as the vacuum of space without protection
- Superhuman Senses: Corrupted Invincible possesses extraordinary sensory abilities, far exceeding human limitations. His auditory perception allows him to hear sounds from great distances with incredible clarity, enabling him to detect even the faintest noises and selectively ignore irrelevant ones. His vision is equally advanced, providing him with the ability to see distant objects with the same sharpness and detail as though they were right in front of him. Additionally, his heightened equilibrium and balance grant him exceptional poise and stability, allowing him to maintain control and coordination in even the most difficult situations.
- Self-Sustenance: Viltrumites possess an extraordinary ability to go without food for extended periods, though the exact duration is not well documented. As a result, their physical needs are significantly reduced, allowing them to function effectively without regular nourishment Corrupted Invincible, like other Viltrumites, experiences minimal requirements for sustenance, enabling him to endure long periods without food without any significant decline in health or vitality.
- Superhuman Stamina: Corrupted Invincible possesses exceptional stamina, allowing him to engage in prolonged combat without showing signs of fatigue. Like all Viltrumites, his biology is optimized for endurance and durability, enabling him to fight effectively even after suffering severe injuries. Viltrumites are known to remain functional unless catastrophic damage is inflicted on vital organs such as the heart or brain.
Abilities
- Expert Combatant: In his complete acceptance of his Viltrimite heritage, Corrupted Invincible apparently was fully trained as a soldier for the Viltrum Empire. To which, he proved very powerful and efficient, able to fight on par with The Immortal and shrug off the mighty hero's punches. Likewise, he was shown able to easily destroy Atom Eve's energy constructs.
Weaknesses
- Excessively High Frequency: As a Viltrumite, High-frequency noise can have harmful effects on the ears of Corrupted Invincible. It disturbs his balance, restricts his flying capability and induces severe pain. The frequency's intensity dictates the degree of pain felt.
- Extreme Force: Like all Viltrumites, Corrupted Invincible remains vulnerable to opponents who match or exceed his own strength and durability. Extreme force from such foes can cause serious harm or even defeat him.
- Scourge Virus: Developed from Viltrumite DNA, the virus can target Corrupted Invincible by compromising his immune systems, deactivating his strength and invulnerability. The sole method of survival is by having a uniquely strong immune system and patiently waiting for the virus to run its course.

- This invincible variant has the most amount of screen time in the series compared to other variants.
- He was one of the known variants who was not recruited by Angstrom to join Team Evil Invincible.
