"Invincible," created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Cory Walker (with later art by Ryan Ottley), is a comic-book series that deconstructs the superhero myth through a coming-of-age story of Mark Grayson — a seemingly ordinary teenager who inherits immense power from his alien father, Nolan (Omni-Man).

She proves that Invincible isn't a superpower. It is a choice.
This is where Invincible separates itself from the competition. It asks the question: If you were truly invincible, would you still be human? For Omni-Man, the answer is no. For Mark, the struggle of the entire series is to say "yes."
