From Visual Novel To Fortnite, Here’s A Brief History of Invincible in Video Games

Omni-Man was the first Invinicible character to make his fighting game debut as a guest kombatant in the most recent entry in the celebrated series. Swooping in alongside fellow morally questionable guest superheroes Homelander and Peacemaker, the unwavering brutality of Invincible’s powerful papa proved a perfect fit for the famously violent franchise. In our Invincible VS cover story, developer Quarter Up even confirmed that Omni-Man’s Mortal Kombat appearance helped inspire his design in the upcoming fighter. 

Despite Invincible debuting in 2003, fans had to wait 20 years before it received its first fully licensed video game, and it would instead star Mark Grayson’s closest ally, Atom Eve. This choice-driven visual novel game puts players in the boots of the matter-manipulating hero as she navigates her not-so-ordinary life. Decisions affect Eve’s relationships with friends and allies, as well as her combat skills for the RPG-style battles. The game also boasts a killer comic-book-inspired presentation. You can watch us play Eve’s solo adventure in this episode of New Gameplay Today. 

Given the sheer amount of media franchises that have been airdropped into Fortnite, it’s no surprise that Invincible found its way into the hit battle royale. For only a couple of months in late 2023, players could purchase a cosmetics pack that granted character skins of Invincible, Omni-Man, Atom Eve, Allen, and Dupli-Kate. One rather grim but thematically appropriate cosmetic was a backpack modeled after The Immortal’s severed head. These unlockables were removed from the game in September 2025, and who knows when or if they’ll return. 

As Invincible further dipped its toe into video games, like many licensed non-big-budget titles before it, the franchise made a pit stop on mobile devices. Invincible: Guarding the Globe was developed and published by Ubisoft and is an idle squad RPG with gacha mechanics. Players worked alongside Cecil Stedman in the Global Defense Agency to recruit, manage, and deploy superheroes to handle various crises around Earth; the plot, meanwhile, centered on an army of cloned heroes. Gameplay-wise, players assembled teams of heroes with various roles to battle enemies in AFK idle battles. 
 

Funko Fusion is basically the video game version of Ready Player One, featuring numerous franchises co-mingling in a giant crossover adventure. Thus, it’s no surprise that Invincible is counted among the game’s litany of licensed cameos. Funko-fied versions of Invincible and Omni-Man represent in the base adventure, and a 2024 Invincible DLC pack added playable characters Atom Eve and Rex Splode to the mix. 
 

This upcoming 3v3 tag fighter is the franchise’s biggest and most exciting foray into video games yet. Featuring a roster of 18 playable characters (and more to come in post-launch DLC), players throw down in fast-paced, chaotic battles reminiscent of Marvel vs. Capcom. Invincible‘s signature violence has also been replicated in all its nigh-uncomfortable bloody glory. Developer Quarter Up is led by the minds behind 2013’s Killer Instinct, who apply that game’s combo-centric, easy-to-execute gameplay to a new template. While Invincible’s previous video game outings have been respectable if not fascinating experiences to study as a fan, Invincible VS seems poised to offer the most substantial and, hopefully, entertaining adaptation to date.
