When Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley's Invincible debuted in 2003, it reinvigorated the Image Comics superhero universe. The comic had over 144 issues and a number of specials and spin-off books, which are now the basis for an adult animated series for Amazon Prime Video.

Amazon Studios revealed it was moving ahead with plans for Invincible in 2018, which means further news is just beginning to roll out about the highly-anticipated Image Comics' adaptation. Here's what we know so far.

Invincible Plot

The Invincible comic follows high school student Mark Grayson as he deals with typically adolescent trials and tribulations. However, Mark also has to deal with the development of his superpowers, which he inherited from his superhero father, Omni-Man.

Once his inherited powers kick in from his half-alien heritage (Omni-Man is an alien Viltrumite, with incredible, Superman-like abilities), Mark wastes no time in picking out a new costume to follow in his father's footsteps. Mark quickly finds other young heroes in the Teen Team like Robot, Dupli-Kate, Rex Splode and Atom Eve, though his idyllic superhero life proves to be anything but ordinary.

Invincible is quickly thrust into the role as Earth's protector when he begins working with Cecil Steadman and the U.S. Government. He garners plenty of enemies who haunt his professional and personal life and threaten the safety of his family and loved ones. At times, they also threaten the entire known universe.
