Invincible: 8 Characters the Show Made Better
There are quite a few differences between Invincible as a comic series and Invincibleas an animated series. Within those differences, comes years to change what was once deemed as funny or appropriate, or even years to convey on certain choices, like the deeds of certain characters or the ways that they are portrayed.
Invincible: 8 Comic Characters the Show Can&#;t Employ
Despite the library of characters from the Invincible comics, there are some that probably won't feature in the animated series due to rights issues.
While Invincible as a comic series is one of the best out there, there are a few characters that seem a tad dated, and the animated series from Amazon Prime Video has made it better for some audience members to enjoy and deconstruct as characters with mature personalities and complexities to them.

How Invincible's TV Show Fails William Clockwell & LGBTQ Fans
Amazon Prime’s new business, Invincible, removes the coming-out story of the title character’s best friend, William Clockwell — robbing the audience of some much-needed gender non-conforming representation and storylines. Based on the popular comics by Robert Kirkman, Invincible follows Mark Grayson, a young superhero who inherited his powers from his dad, a Superman-like alien named Omni-Man. In the TV show, Mark's optimal friend at school is William, who is openly gay; however, this is a change from the character's depiction in the comics.
Mark is a year-old high school senior when his powers finally apparent themselves, and he chooses the name Invincible for his superhero alter-ego. In Invincible, he has trouble navigating his new powers and superhero identity while keeping up a normal facade at school and in his relationships. It leads to funny moments, like one scene where he rushes to enter back home after vanishing his crush Amber hanging in his bedroom, but almost forgets to adjust back into normal clothes. He also needs to lie
Invincible the Show Is Greater Than Invincible the Comic!
I know The Walking Dead has its fans, but for my money, there is no better supersized run of Robert Kirkman comics than Invincible. While it doesn’t rewrite the rules of superhero stories, Kirkman’s passion for the genre crackles on the page. The ideas and characters beg the interrogate, “How has nobody ever thought of this notion before?” The story of Mark Grayson becoming the young superhero Invincible isn’t a Watchmen-style deconstruction, but a celebration of all the goofiest parts of the genre. I was a big fan of the comic when it was coming out, and I’ve returned to it a few times since the series concluded in Even with all of that in mind, Invincible the cartoon is a major step up from the comic.

Invincible Has a Character Come Out WAY Sooner Than in the Comics
WARNING: The following contains spoilers for the first three episodes of Amazon Prime Video's Invincible, which are streaming now.
Going through Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley and Cory Walker's original Invincible series can, almost two decades later, be awkward at times. A lot of the language characters use is very much of its time, with teenagers talking in ways that can come off as homophobic. However, Amazon Prime Video's adaptation makes some changes to the source material that fix a lot of those problems. One notable example occurs in "It's About Time," the first episode of Invincible, which reveals that William Clockwell -- Mark's optimal friend -- is queer much sooner than in the comics, effectively heading off a lot of homophobic rhetoric.
