[edit] Trivia issues

"In issue one, Art the tailor tells Mark that he initially worked on a suit for Nolan under the impression that his power (and Mark's by extension) was solar based. Nolan tells him "it's a common mistake". This is a reference to Superman, whose power comes from the yellow sun of our solar system and who Omni-Man and Invincible share many characteristics with."

I'm pretty damn sure this is wrong. to begin with, it's original research to make such an inference. Secondly 'Invincible Ultimate Collection Vol. 1' shows early invincible concept images that appear very much like the solar suit, and comments claim that originally a solar energy absorption explanation was going to be used for Mark's powers, but instead, they decided to not explain his powers because 'where's the fun in that'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.217.219.254 (talk) 02:34, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] resources

Mile high comics has scans of covers, 1st three pages, and sometimes commentary.

• bibliography at milehigh
• covers and some excerpts at mile high

[edit] comments

Contrary to the assertion in the 'trivia section, the sitcom 'Perfect Strangers' is not about teenagers and their problems.

[edit] cleaning up

Just a suggestion, but this entry seems to need to decide whether it's about the comic book Invincible or about the character Invincible. Granted they're related but the jumping back and forth between them makes for a sloppy read. Psyphics 16:18, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

I'd lean towards the character myself, in the same way that Superman is used. After all, it is quite possible that this character may appear in another comic at some point. I don't really know much more about the subject to say more, however. Turnstep 17:13, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

There are two wikis for Superman: Superman for the character and Superman (comic book) for the series. Dyslexic agnostic 20:05, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Required Reading?

It says that Mark's first appearance isn't in Invincible. Is this first appearance required reading to understand Invincible?

Mark's 1st appearance is not required reading to understand Invincible.Scarlettspiderg 17:41, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rus Livingston

We don't ACTUALLY know if he's going to be a villain or not--should we consider changing which section he's in?

[edit] Vol. 8

There's a volume 8, my favorite martian, out. Someone needs to add a section.

[edit] Trade paperbacks

If there are no objections I'm going to remove the plot details from the trade paperback section. This section has become overly long and plot details really belong in the synopsis section.

[edit] Powers and Abilites

Any objections to adding a powers and abilities section to this page - like most of the other superhero pages?

• It's already covered in the superhero box. Iron Ghost 18:43, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, I probably won't push it any further than this, but most of the other superheroes have a brief list in the SHB, and a powers and abilities sections (a paragraph or two) that's a bit more descriptive...

• • Well, a lot of heroes have complicated histories atached to thier powers (lost their powers, then got them back, then got new powers, etc). Invincible's powers a pretty straight forward and don't really need any further explaination. Iron Ghost 18:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Invincible01.jpg

Image:Invincible01.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Gold and Silver Age?

In Invincible not only does the Superman pastiche murder the Justice League pastiche, but a fistfight between father and son causes thousands of bystander deaths. It's solidly Iron Age. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidJohns (talk • contribs) 00:37, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
