Invincible: The Most Important New Characters to Expect in Season 3

With Invincible Season 3 on the horizon, Prime Video has unveiled a stellar new voice cast. Joining the fray are Aaron Paul as Powerplex, John DiMaggio as The Elephant, and Simu Liu as Dupli-Kate's brother, Multi-Paul. However, the most intriguing additions are shrouded in mystery: Breaking Bad's Jonathan Banks and Hellraiser's Doug Bradley are onboard, but their roles remain undisclosed.

This secrecy likely aims to protect major Season 3 plot twists. So, who could Banks and Bradley be playing? And what about Christian Convery's rapidly aging Oliver? His accelerated growth and Invincible's new sidekick status are significant developments. Let's delve into the most anticipated new characters.

Warning: Minor comic book spoilers ahead!

While Prime Video keeps mum, Jonathan Banks' casting strongly suggests a specific villain. His expertise in portraying hardened killers points towards Conquest, introduced in Invincible #61. A Viltrumite of exceptional power, Conquest arrives after a devastating Earth conflict, issuing an ultimatum: Invincible conquers his homeworld or faces death.

Season 2 hinted at this confrontation, leaving Mark burdened with his father's legacy. Season 3 will likely see Mark's desperate battle against Conquest, a formidable opponent even for experienced Viltrumites. This promises a gripping showdown.

Who Is Doug Bradley Playing?

While Banks seems a perfect fit for Conquest, Bradley's role remains a mystery. Known for portraying Pinhead, we can expect a villainous role. Two candidates emerge: Dinosaurus (Invincible #68) and Grand Regent Thragg (Invincible #11).

Dinosaurus, appearing after Conquest, aims to heal the world from humanity's destructive impact. Bradley's voice could add depth to this seemingly cartoonish villain, whose motives resonate with even Invincible.

Alternatively, Thragg, the Viltrumite Empire's ruler, is a prime contender. A powerful, millennia-old warrior, Thragg is the main antagonist of the comic series. Bradley's charisma and menace would perfectly embody this terrifying figure. Season 3 might only hint at Thragg, but his introduction would be a significant event.

Christian Convery's Oliver Grayson

Season 2 introduced Oliver, Mark's half-brother, a half-Thraxan, half-Viltrumite hybrid. His accelerated aging is a key plot point for Season 3, transforming him from toddler to preteen, necessitating Convery's casting. Oliver already displays powers, surpassing Mark's early development.

Season 3 will see Oliver follow in his father and brother's footsteps, adopting the Kid Omni-Man codename. This adds a powerful ally, but also a potential liability, raising the stakes for Invincible.
