Mark Grayson is an average 17-year-old, except for the fact that he is half-alien, and his dad is one of the most famous superheroes in the world. His average life is turned upside down when he finally gets superpowers of his own, but as the saying goes - with great power comes great responsibility.
Based on a comic series penned by the brilliant and imaginative creator of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman, Amazon Prime's hit animated series Invincible is not only chock full of action-packed fun, but it features a broad array of famous guest stars including Jon Hamm, Seth Rogen, Mahershala Ali, Clancy Brown, and Ezra Miller. The main cast is just as star-studded with familiar and beloved voice actors, many of them a nod to other superhero franchises as well as The Walking Dead.
