Invincible: The Potential for Spinoff Shows and The Character Who Could Carry One

The Potential for Invincible Spinoff Shows

Invincible has proven to be a hit show for Amazon, which could lead to potential spinoffs, and season 2's special episode has already indicated one character can carry a spinoff show.

The second season of Invincible is currently on a midseason break, but after such a long wait between seasons, the show looks determined to deliver more content. Robert Kirkman announced the wait for Invincible season 3's release will be far shorter than the previous gap between seasons. In addition, the series also released a special episode during the build-up to season 2, giving fans more Invincible.

Although season 2 provided a very strong start, Invincible's midseason break has arguably been too long with no official return date announced. The lack of content may begin to concern viewers, but the announcement of spinoffs would help appease fans. Sometimes, spinoff shows can be a bad thing, especially for a show like Invincible which has only produced 13 episodes. However, there are plenty of Invincible characters that deserve a spinoff and with how big the show's universe is, there are almost endless options.

Atom Eve's Potential for a Spinoff Show

Atom Eve's Invincible special ahead of season 2 is proof she can carry her own show. Invincible: Atom Eve focused on the character's origin story by exploring how she got her powers, how it changed her relationships, and outlining the difficulties of becoming a hero. The episode was just under an hour, making it the longest in the series so far, and this sort of dedication to the character shows how valuable she is to the franchise. Developing Atom Eve's story through this special was the perfect way to give extra context that the show couldn't provide otherwise.

Invincible has already teased a potential Allen the Alien spinoff through his extensive screen time in season 2, episode 3. However, Atom Eve's special highlighted that she could demand the audience's attention for nearly a full hour. No other character has been given this level of trust outside the protagonist, Mark Grayson. Invincible: Atom Eve received positive reviews and was a great experiment to see how fans would react to another character leading an episode. With her more emotional and intriguing story, Atom Eve is the right choice for a proper spinoff since she has plenty of stories to tell.

An Atom Eve spinoff may be a fun idea, but it is far less likely due to the comics. She is a major character in the show, being a member of Teen Team before branching off to become an independent hero. Throughout season 2, she has had a solo arc that has been distant from most other characters. However, if the show continues following the comics, Atom Eve's future story will be heavily intertwined with Mark's, making a spinoff more difficult. Although they are only friends in the series, Mark and Eve grow a much deeper connection in the comics.

The Possibility of an Atom Eve Series

Season 2 has already set up the one way an Atom Eve series could still work while following the comics. Invincible's multiverse was introduced in the second season and revealed that there are different versions of the main characters. While it was already clear there were numerous planets and other species in Invincible's TV series, the fact that there are other dimensions makes Eve's spinoff possible. Invincible season 2's multiverse changes the show's dynamic by introducing an evil Mark Grayson who sides with Omni-Man. While this sets up the season's villain, it also introduces another version of Atom Eve.

The Eve shown in one of the series' other dimensions has a much more dark and tragic fate as the evil version of Mark paralyzes his dimension's Atom Eve in Invincible season 2. Although this sinister moment is used to set up more bleak timelines, it proves an Atom Eve spinoff could still be interesting and offer something different from the main show. Whether a spinoff opted to focus on that version of Eve's story before Mark's betrayal or followed another version of the character completely, Invincible does still have ways they could make an Atom Eve spinoff show work.
