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

Prime Video Unveils Invincible Season 3's New Voice Cast, Teasing Major Villains

With Invincible: Season 3 on the horizon, Prime Video has announced a stellar addition to the voice cast. Aaron Paul will voice Powerplex, John DiMaggio will portray The Elephant, and Simu Liu will lend his voice to Multi-Paul, Dupli-Kate's brother. However, the most intriguing additions remain shrouded in mystery: Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad) and Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) have joined the cast, but their roles are yet to be revealed.

This strategic secrecy likely aims to avoid spoiling significant Season 3 plot points. Speculation is rife about which characters Banks and Bradley might play, as well as the implications of Christian Convery's accelerated aging as Oliver Grayson and his new role as a sidekick. Let's delve into the most anticipated characters:

Warning: Minor comic book spoilers ahead!

Jonathan Banks as Conquest?

Given Banks' expertise in portraying hardened villains, a strong contender for his role is Conquest. This powerful Viltrumite, introduced in Invincible #61, presents a formidable challenge to Mark Grayson. His arrival follows a devastating conflict on Earth, issuing an ultimatum: Mark must conquer his homeworld or face Conquest's wrath. Season 2 laid the groundwork for this confrontation, hinting at Mark's inherited responsibility. This clash promises to be Mark's most brutal battle yet, testing his skills against a seasoned Viltrumite warrior.

Doug Bradley's Enigmatic Role

While Banks seems a likely fit for Conquest, Bradley's character remains a mystery. Considering his horror background, a villainous role is anticipated. Two possibilities emerge: Dinosaurus, a villain with contrasting motivations who seeks to heal the world from humanity's destructive impact, or Grand Regent Thragg, the primary antagonist of the Invincible saga.

Dinosaurus, introduced in Invincible #68, presents a compelling moral dilemma. Bradley's voice could add depth to this seemingly cartoonish character. Alternatively, Thragg, the powerful ruler of the Viltrumite Empire (first seen in Invincible #11), represents a significant threat yet to appear in the animated series. Bradley's commanding presence would perfectly embody this formidable villain.

Christian Convery's Oliver Grayson: A New Sidekick

Season 2 introduced Oliver, Mark's half-brother, a half-Thraxan, half-Viltrumite hybrid. His accelerated aging is a key plot element for Season 3, transforming him from a toddler to a preteen, necessitating Convery's casting. Oliver's rapid power development, mirroring his father and brother, leads him to adopt the moniker "Kid Omni-Man," becoming a powerful ally, yet a potential vulnerability for Mark.
