One of Gaming’s Most Game-Changing Platformers Release Nearly 40 Years Ago Today

by

‘Invincible’s 8 Most Powerful Characters, Ranked

by

In Invincible, the word “powerful” has a specific meaning. It refers to a character’s actual strength and abilities, not just their influence or status. For example, Cecil Stedman is very influential, but doesn’t have any superpowers himself. So, when discussing power levels in the series, it’s about how strong someone is, not just how much control they have.
