Kirkman recently spoke with IGN, noting that the TV show's portrayal of Angstrom will differ significantly from his comic book counterpart. He praised the voice acting performance by Sterling K. Brown and hinted that the new iteration of the villain will evoke some sympathy. Read below for Kirkman's comments.

Angstrom, brought to life by Sterling K. Brown, portrays a dynamic and vibrant character that surpasses our expectations from the comics. Sterling's portrayal has breathed life into our scripts, creating a genuine and lively persona. As a true villain, Angstrom possesses a depth of understanding that makes him both relatable and dangerous, eliciting sympathy from the audience.

Unlike the comic version, Sterling has infused Angstrom with a newfound sympathy. Perhaps this was my intention as a writer, but I acknowledge that Sterling's exceptional performance and realistic emotions have surpassed what I could have achieved on paper. Through his portrayal, Angstrom Levy evokes unexpected sympathy, all credit to Sterling's portrayal.

Why Angstrom Will Be Invincible's Most Dangerous Supervillain

Angstrom's character in the world of Invincible explores the concept of multiple universes. His goal is to gain knowledge by absorbing versions of himself from other dimensions, ultimately becoming the ultimate version of himself. This pursuit has caused physical changes in his body, as seen in recent images from Invincible season 2, resembling his comic counterpart.

Following the events of Invincible season 1, Omni-Man departs from Earth after nearly killing Mark. As a result, new threats such as Angstrom now have the opportunity to rise in power, posing a challenging adversary for Mark to confront. However, Angstrom receives a more sympathetic portrayal compared to the comics, potentially leading to some characters showing him compassion despite his sinister intentions.

Angstrom's goals in the series remain unchanged from his comic book counterpart, even with a deeper exploration of his character. He remains determined to eliminate Mark, while also striving to acquire as much knowledge as possible by interacting with various versions of himself. The true extent of Angstrom's perilous objective will be unveiled when Invincible makes its comeback on Prime Video on November 3.
