Invincible Could Add Realistic Violence To The Superhero Video Game
One of the things that stands out in the comics and the animated series is that there is a ton of violence in Invincible, and it’s all purposeful. People, including super-people, are dying or getting mortally wounded on the regular. This is where a video game adaptation could really set itself apart from current titles like Marvel’s Avengers or Marvel’s Spider-Man. While those games feature heroes beating up their enemies, it seems more likely they are getting knocked out rather than actually killed, which is fitting for their characters.
This is why Invincible could feel quite a bit more like a superhero game combined with Grand Theft Auto. Invincible and his father are both the equivalent of their particular world’s Superman. They can fly, they are super strong and they are almost unbeatable when they go toe-to-toe with their foes. Throwing extreme violence into a superhero game could make this potential title just as popular as the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
Despite the fact that it’s been a long time since Superman had his own game, he’s a very popular character in the video game world. Getting to play as some version of the character could be a real draw, and playing as a version of him, rather than the traditional hero himself, also offers the ability to do different things than what someone could otherwise do with the Kryptonian.
One drawback for Superman is that he’s held back by a well-known moral code. He’s someone that is known as a hero who refuses to kill (even if more recent iterations have seen him kill certain enemies). He’s also someone that is seen as completely unbeatable, and this is one of the reasons an Invincible video game could draw attention. Superman is very hard to beat, he’s incredibly strong and nigh-unkillable, but he’s not invulnerable when exposed to a piece of his home planet.
