Thaedus: A peaceful member of the Viltrumites and founder of the Coalition of Planets. He was responsible for killing Emperor Argall enough to plunge Viltrum in a civil war where the weaker Viltrumites were killed. Afterwards, Thaedus went on to establish the Coalition of Planets.. Thaedus is later killed by Thragg during the Viltrumite War. BUT, this is a title full of memorable characters, rife with twists and turns, and a smart nuance that builds on itself right from the beginning of the first issue.(A big part of the charm of the title is watching Mark [the titular superhero] actually grow from a naive high-school kid to a mature adult as the issues pass.) This is the beginning of the Invincible saga, and I guarantee once you start reading, you won't stop. (Though fair warning, it's a hefty bit of reading; as I write this, they're at 130+ single issues, or 21 standard-sized trades.) I’ve read plenty of superhero comics from the likes of DC and Marvel, but I’ve have heard about this superhero series from “The Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman. I went in with solid expectations and came out astounded.

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.This comic book series is a fantastic homage to superhero stories. With the first couple of issues, writer Robert Kirkman draws upon the rich and diverse superhero worlds established through both DC Comics and Marvel to present his own universe. At first conveying a parodic tone, reeling readers into this world by teasing them with innumerable references, it is only upon the grand reveal regarding young Mark Grayson’s father that the series flips the tropes upside down and redirects his narrative to focus on the myriad of characters he’s established, especially his young and growing protagonist. His series isn’t just about casual superhero action through an episodic story-telling format, although there is plenty of that brilliantly interspersed throughout this compendium, but rather looks into these characters’ plights and their day-to-day quandaries. From dealing with psychological trauma to unraveling love interests, the series brilliantly explores these characters on an intimate and individual level while building up the overarching story revolving around countless villains trying to wreak havoc on Earth despite all the heroes it houses.
