Caped Vigilante
CharacterThe Caped Vigilante is a one-time character in Invincible, a bat-themed crime-fighter from an alternate world who bears a passing resemblance to Darkwing. He crosses paths with Invincible during the hero's dimension-hopping journey home.
Appearance
The Vigilante patrols his city in a dark, bat-inspired costume topped with a flowing cape, a look close enough to Darkwing's to draw a comment from Invincible. His chosen alias leans hard on the same theme, built around the words bat and man.
Personality
He operates as a brooding night-time crime-fighter, working his beat after dark. When Invincible teases him over the plainness of his name, he takes the ribbing in stride, and despite the friendly argument he apparently points the visitor toward a way home.
History
Details of the Vigilante's origins are scarce, beyond the fact that he embraced a bat motif once he began prowling the streets at night. His path crosses Invincible's when a portal tears open and drops the interdimensional hero into his city. The two trade words over how original his name really is, and though the exchange is prickly, it is suggested that the Vigilante ultimately helps Invincible locate another gateway back to his own reality.
