Summary

The first season of Invincible premiered on Amazon Prime Video on March 26, 2021, with its opening three episodes dropping together and the rest arriving weekly afterward. Running eight roughly hour-long installments, it adapts the early chapters of the comic. The story centers on Mark Grayson, an ordinary teenager whose father Nolan happens to be the planet's mightiest superhero. Soon after turning seventeen, Mark manifests Viltrumite abilities and takes up the name Invincible, training beneath his father while gradually realizing that Nolan's celebrated legacy conceals something far darker.

Notes

The season primarily draws from the first thirteen issues of the source comic, though it folds in threads from later material, including pieces of the Flaxan Invasion, Robot's cloning arc, Mark's mission to Mars, Titan's scheme against Machine Head, and D.A. Sinclair's ReAnimen experiments. This blending lets the adaptation seed storylines that the comics developed much later in their run.
