Gretchen Duvall

Gretchen is a small girl with a brown complexion, cropped brown hair, and brown eyes. Her outfit pairs a short-sleeved pink shirt and shorts worn over leggings with black shoes, finished off by a little beret tucked into her hair.

Not much of her nature made it to the screen, but what shows through is an easygoing, cheerful child who plainly adored her family.

Gretchen's early life is mostly unknown beyond her birth to her mother, Jessica, and an unnamed father. She and Jessica became two of the countless casualties in Chicago during the devastating clash between Omni-Man and Invincible. That day she had been at the park with Scott and Jessica feeding pigeons, and the group returned to their apartment while Scott lingered behind for a coffee. When the two Viltrumites tore through the city, the building holding Gretchen and Jessica started to give way. Invincible raced in to stop it, his sheer speed shattering every window, and an injured Jessica tumbled out of one. He caught hold of her as Gretchen stretched down from the ledge, but he could neither halt the collapse nor save the pair, and he emerged from the wreckage stunned to find both dead. From a distance, a shattered Scott watched and spotted his niece's severed leg among the debris.

That loss reshaped everything for Scott Duvall. Blaming his niece and sister's deaths on Omni-Man and, just as bitterly, on his son Invincible, he used his post in the Global Defense Agency's science division to obtain experimental energy-storage technology, boosting his own kinetic-absorption powers. Together with his wife, Becky, he launched a furious campaign against Invincible as Powerplex, a crusade that cost Becky her life along with the couple's infant son. Even then he refused any blame, laying every death at Invincible's feet and vowing revenge.
