Screen Rant is thrilled to unveil an exclusive image of Jay Pharoah's newest character in Invincible season 2. Based on Robert Kirkman's acclaimed comic, Invincible follows the journey of Mark Grayson, the teenage son of the beloved hero Omni-Man. After gaining powers of his own, Mark steps up to become a hero in his own right. However, in the first season, Mark, known as Invincible, uncovers the harsh reality behind his father's presence on Earth. Despite Omni-Man's failed attempt to recruit Mark, he mercilessly beats his own son during their confrontation.

In the upcoming second season of Invincible, the world is left reeling after witnessing Omni-Man's brutal defeat of Invincible before fleeing Earth. Mark must come to terms with his father's betrayal and its implications for his own superhero status. The second season will be divided into two parts, with the first half premiering in November and the second half arriving in 2024.

A Closer Look At Invincible Season 2's Bulletproof

Screen Rant has released an exclusive image from Invincible, showcasing the introduction of a new superhero, Bulletproof, in the upcoming second season. Voiced by Jay Pharoah, Bulletproof possesses invincibility, flight, and will join the Guardians of the Globe. However, fans familiar with the comics are aware that his powers have a tragic origin connected to his family, experiments, and parental favoritism.

The new season of Invincible appears to continue exploring the world's superheroes, similar to the recently released short centered around Atom Eve in July. Bulletproof could potentially aid Mark in coming to terms with his own shattered family or serve as a rival as Mark attempts to move on from his past experiences. As Mark embarks on his journey as a hero in the upcoming season, he will confront his greatest fear: that he may inherit his father's legacy.

Invincible features an impressive ensemble cast including Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh, Zazie Beetz, Grey DeLisle, Chris Diamantopoulos, Walton Goggins, Gillian Jacobs, Jason Mantzoukas, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton, Zachary Quinto, Andrew Rannells, Kevin Michael Richardson, Seth Rogen, and J.K. Simmons. The show was created by comic creator Robert Kirkman, who also serves as an executive producer and wrote the premiere and finale of the first season. Executive producers include Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Catherine Winder, Simon Racioppa, Margaret M. Dean, and David Alpert.

Fans can expect the first half of Invincible season 2 to be available on Prime Video starting November 3.
