Invincible War Ocs
Also known as: Invincible War Variants
Invincible War OCs is a fan art trend where artists draw humorous alternate-reality versions of the superhero Invincible (Mark Grayson), each themed around a brand, franchise, or pop culture reference. The trend kicked off in early March 2025, timed to the Invincible animated series adapting the Invincible War storyline from the comics, and spread rapidly across X/Twitter and Bluesky.
Overview
The Invincible War OCs trend takes a simple premise from the source material and runs with it. In the Invincible comics and animated series, the villain Angstrom Levy pulls 20 alternate-universe versions of Mark Grayson into the main reality, each with slightly different costumes and powers1. Fans latched onto this concept and started designing their own joke variants, dressing Invincible in the colors and logos of brands, other franchises, or random internet references2. The results range from "YouTube Invincible" in a red suit next to the YouTube logo to "WhatsApp Invincible" in green2. The appeal is the creative freedom: any concept can become an Invincible variant as long as the character's basic silhouette and mask shape stay recognizable.
The Invincible War is a major event in the Invincible comic book universe. In the original story, Angstrom Levy, disfigured from a previous fight with Mark Grayson, gathers 20 evil versions of Invincible from alternate dimensions and unleashes them on Earth1. The event spans multiple issues and crosses over with other Image Comics heroes including Spawn, Savage Dragon, and Tech Jacket1.
On March 6, 2025, episode seven of Invincible Season 3, titled "What Have I Done?", premiered on Amazon Prime Video and adapted this storyline for the animated series2. Alternate Invincible variants had already been teased in the previous episode, which aired on February 27, 20252.
The day before the episode dropped, on March 5, 2025, X user @gatotension posted a drawing of Invincible redesigned in a red superhero suit next to the YouTube logo with the caption: "this is my Invincible war oc his name is youtube invincible"2. The post pulled in over 35.4 million views, 8,500 reposts, and 68,000 likes within five days2.
