Killcannon is a battlesuit-clad supervillain in the Invincible series who trades a left arm for a built-in laser cannon. Debuting in the first season, he holds the distinction of being the first villain that Invincible and Atom Eve ever put down.
Killcannon cuts a bulky, muscular figure with pale skin, though the eye goes first to his left arm, which has been replaced entirely by a robotic limb ending in a mounted laser cannon. His right arm stays mostly bare, protected only by a silver wrist plate that links to his glove and a pad over the shoulder. Underneath sits a black bodysuit marked in red, layered over by dark gray plating across the torso that ties into the mechanical arm, while lighter gray armor guards his legs from knee to foot.
Bravado drives him. Killcannon tends to pick fights with heroes who stand a good chance of beating him, confident to a fault that the outcome will fall his way.
His weaponry centers on the arm cannon, which fires balls of laser light strong enough to restrain or wound; once fueled by a battery he stole, a single shot nearly killed two bystanders. He is also far tougher than an ordinary person, shrugging off gunfire and being hurled through walls, though that resilience has clear limits against foes like Invincible.
In 2016 he was robbing a bank when he first ran into a young Eve, who revealed her powers and weathered his attacks almost untouched. Years later, in 2022, a new hero named Invincible interrupted another of his rampages. After a stint in jail Killcannon promised a rematch, lost again, and tried to surrender, only for Invincible to end it with a punch that sent him into a wall. Around 2023 he broke into Teen Team's headquarters to swipe a powerful battery for his cannon, but Atom Eve caught him mid-theft and subdued him after he had already hurt several civilians in the clash.
