How Invincible's TV Show Fails William Clockwell & LGBTQ Fans

Amazon Prime’s new display, 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 foremost 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 17-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 approach back home after departing his crush Amber hanging in his bedroom, but almost forgets to modify back into normal clothes.

Invincible’s LGBTQ character is “essential,” designer says

For those semi-exhausted by Disney’s endless MCU content or the ceaseless fan pleas for Warner Bros. to #restorethesnyderverse, Amazon has a refreshing breakaway: Invincible (★★★★★). The adult animated series recently concluded its first eight-episode season (it’s been renewed for two more), and is as addictive as it is satisfying.

Without spoiling anything, Invincible tells the story of Mark Greyson (Steven Yeun), the 17-year-old offspring of alien superhero Omni-Man (a magnificent J.K. Simmons) and his Earth-born wife (Sandra Oh).
