Every Mark Variant in the Invincible War Explained

In the expansive universe of Invincible, the concept of alternate realities and variants is a rich vein to mine, especially when it comes to the character of Mark Grayson. Each version of Mark showcases different aspects of his character, shaped by their unique circumstances and choices. In this blog, we'll dive into the various Mark variants that emerged during the Invincible War, exploring their backgrounds, powers, and the fates that befall them. Buckle up, because this is going to be a wild ride through the multiverse!

Mustache Mark: Tradition and Tragedy

First up is Mustache Mark, an alternate version of Mark Grayson who sports a prominent mustache. This distinctive feature is more than just a style choice; it symbolizes his cultural identity as a Viltrumite. Unlike the mainstream Mark, who has distanced himself from his people's violent past, Mustache Mark embraces tradition. His attire suggests he was raised on Viltrum, making him a true representative of his culture.

Mustache Mark is recruited by Angstrom Levy to join forces with other variants for the Invincible War. Unfortunately, his journey ends tragically when he falls to a female superhero on the second day of the conflict. His story highlights the tension between tradition and progress, as well as the brutal realities of war.

Viltrumite Mark: Power and Destruction

Next, we have Viltrumite Mark, another alternate version of Mark. His traditional Viltrumite attire signals his roots, and he’s depicted as a ruthless warrior. In his dimension, he killed Spawn, adding a layer of irony to their encounter in the mainstream dimension during the Invincible War.

On the first day of the conflict, Viltrumite Mark threatens to kill Spawn once again, a claim he likely fulfills as he remains one of the surviving variants by the third day. By then, he has already devastated a major city, showcasing his immense power. However, his reign of destruction is cut short when he is banished to an alternate dimension by Angstrom Levy, along with several other surviving alternate Marks.

Omni Mark: The Fallen Hero

Omni Mark presents a darker twist on the hero archetype. He dons a caped costume reminiscent of Omni-Man’s, but his story takes a darker turn—he killed his father, Omni-Man, leading to an underestimation of his foes in the mainstream Mark’s reality. During the Invincible War, he faces off against Shadowhawk and Madman on the conflict's second day. However, his overconfidence leads to his downfall when Madman uses his unique yo-yo weapon to outmaneuver him.

Following his defeat, Omni Mark is reanimated and transformed into one of the grotesque Reanimen, further emphasizing the tragic arc of his character.

Ruthless Variants: Mark 1 and Mark 2

Among the more ruthless variants are Alternate Mark 1 and Alternate Mark 2. On the second day of the Invincible War, Mark 1 engages Sarah Pini, leaving her severely injured. Shortly after, he encounters Mark 2, who had attacked Tech Jacket in space on the first day. Despite being outmatched, Tech Jacket holds his ground until Mark 1 joins the fight. The two variants underestimate Tech Jacket, leading to their demise when Tech Jacket overloads his system, resulting in an explosion that incinerates both Marks.

Mark III: The Enigmatic Fighter

Mark III is shrouded in mystery, with limited information about his background. He resembles the mainstream Mark with a yellow costume, albeit without a full mask. During the Invincible War, he battles Bulletproof and Monster Girl, leaving Monster Girl severely injured. Just as he is about to deliver the final blow to her, Bulletproof intervenes, showcasing the unpredictable nature of these battles.

Mark V: A Unique Appearance

Mark V is another variant that stands out due to his appearance, which echoes the mainstream Mark’s newer blue and black costume. He engages in a fierce battle against Kur Dragon, Mighty Man, Angelica Murphy, and Super Patriot on the second day of the conflict. His combat style is aggressive, as he knocks Mighty Man and Super Patriot down before choking Savage Dragon. However, the details of his demise remain unclear, though it’s presumed Savage Dragon ultimately defeats him, given his survival.

Flaxen Mark: A Ruler Turned Warrior

Flaxen Mark is easily identifiable by his distinct flaxen attire. In his dimension, he rose to power over the Flaxans following an invasion. Unlike the mainstream Mark, Flaxen Mark successfully stopped the Flaxans and chose to rule over them instead of annihilating them. On the first day of the Invincible War, he attacks the Pentagon but is ultimately defeated by Brit and Donald Ferguson.

Bulletproof Mark: The Costume Rejected

Bulletproof Mark wears a costume originally rejected by Invincible in the mainstream dimension. He doesn't appear until the second day of the Invincible War, mirroring Flaxen Mark's actions from the day before. However, he is ultimately overpowered and strangled to death by a militarized Ranan, marking a grim end to his participation in the conflict.

Mark VI: The Cyber Force Encounter

Mark VI is notable for his slightly different suit, featuring a face mask and scarf, but no gloves. On the second day of the Invincible War, he engages in battle with the Cyber Force, a group he was familiar with before they disbanded in his dimension. The fight escalates when the mainstream Mark and Adam Eve arrive to confront him. In a tragic twist, Mark VI critically injures Eve but is ultimately killed by the mainstream Mark, illustrating the chaotic nature of the conflict.

Mark VII: A Formidable Opponent

Mark VII remains largely enigmatic, but what is clear is that the heroes in his dimension are exponentially more powerful than their mainstream counterparts. His formidable strength is on full display during the Invincible War, where he easily defeats the Guardians of the Globe. His powers allow him to inflict severe injuries on multiple heroes, including Black Samson and Darkwing 2. However, his own demise comes when Darkwing sacrifices himself, pulling Mark VII into the Shadowverse, leading to both of their downfalls.

Mark VIII: The Fatal Clash

Mark VIII shares similarities with Mark II but is distinguished by unique differences in his costume's midsection and glove colors. He arrives on the second day of the conflict and engages in an intense confrontation with Pit. This clash proves fatal for Mark VIII, as he is ultimately overwhelmed, leaving both combatants severely injured.

Sinister Mark: The Twisted Version

Sinister Mark is perhaps one of the darkest versions of Mark Grayson. His journey begins with him killing his mother in their family home, which he grows to despise. Sinister Mark’s dimension is populated with more ruthless individuals than the mainstream one. When Angstrom Levy approaches him with an offer to join the Invincible War, he agrees, leading 15 alternate Marks into the mainstream dimension.

During the war, he defeats the mainstream Firebreather in Nevada, finds Oliver Grayson to be no real threat, and lays waste to a major city by the third day. However, his ambitions are thwarted when Angstrom banishes him and the surviving alternate Marks to a desolate dimension, leaving Sinister Mark to vow revenge.

Mohawk Mark: The Worship Seeker

Mohawk Mark hails from a dimension where he grew close to Adam Eve after Rex's infidelity. Unlike the mainstream Mark, he embraces a darker path, realizing that protecting Earth yields no benefits and instead seeks worship. His journey leads him to become the Viltrumite Emperor, conquering Earth and enslaving its inhabitants.

During the Invincible War, he effortlessly destroys Stronghold Penitentiary on the first day and clashes with the original Mark, showcasing their evenly matched powers. However, by the end of the war, he finds himself stranded in another dimension with the remaining alternate Marks.

Mark IX: The Mysterious Eliminator

Mark IX bears a striking resemblance to the mainstream Mark, except for the absence of headgear. His actions during the Invincible War remain shrouded in mystery, particularly his swift elimination of the Adam Eve from his dimension. He then turns his attention to the mainstream Adam Eve, vowing to kill her slowly, but she manages to escape. By the third day, he wreaks havoc in Paris before becoming stranded in an alternate dimension.

Phantom Mark: The Enigmatic Fighter

Phantom Mark embodies mystery and stealth, sporting a completely black mask with blue eyes. His past is filled with trauma, as his father destroyed their childhood home. During the Invincible War, he battles Oliver Grayson, taunting him and showcasing a cold demeanor. By the third day, he devastates Sydney before being stranded in another dimension, contrasting with Sinister Mark's feelings towards their childhood home.

Prisoner Mark: The Vengeful Warrior

Prisoner Mark is easily recognized by his scarred, sunburned appearance, reminiscent of the mainstream Mark's injuries after his battle with Thragg. After spending nearly a year in a Viltrumite prison, he emerges with a vow for revenge against his father. His entrance into the Invincible War is dramatic, crashing through the Kremlin. By the third day, he leaves Moscow in ruins, but his quest for vengeance remains incomplete as he is ultimately stranded in an alternate dimension.

Mark X: The Empire Builder

Finally, we have Mark X, who ruled an empire in his dimension before being recruited by Angstrom Levy. He makes his appearance on the first day of the conflict, heading to London where another alternate Mark clashes with Jackstaff. Their battle is fierce, and by the third day, Mark X unleashes devastation across London before being stranded in an alternate dimension with the other surviving Marks.

Throughout the Invincible War, each variant of Mark Grayson reflects different facets of his character, shaped by their unique realities. The stories of these alternate Marks illustrate the complexity of identity, power, and the consequences of choices made in the heat of battle. As we continue to explore the multiverse of Invincible, the impact of these variants will resonate, leaving us to ponder the infinite possibilities of who Mark Grayson could be.
