today we're counting down our picks for the biggest changes between Amazon Prime's Invincible series and its comic source material.

If you aren't caught up on the first three seasons, beware of spoilers ahead and I thank you for it.

You pop the tires on the bus, blow that concrete to gravel to slow it down so Monster Girl can stop it and save lives.

While the show has included most characters from the source material, there are a few minor ones who have been left out.

As seen in the show, Black Samson was a member of the original Guardians of the Globe lineup, but

was forced to leave when he lost his powers.

He's able to join the new version with the help of a power suit.

However, in the comics, he also had an Alfred Pennyworth type butler named Sanford.

Upset over Samson's firing from the team, Sanford steals the suit meant for his employer and attacks the funeral for the Guardians of the Globe.

Though he means to burn their bodies, he's quickly defeated by Omni Man.

29 Mag Maniac and Tethered Tyrant first seen as Machine Head's hired goons in season one, Mag Maniac and Tethered Tyrant are equally minor villains in the comics.

However, the show gives them more depth when they return in season three with a six minute entirely dialogue free sequence accompanied by a heartbreaking score.

It shows their attempt to start a new life together.

While things go well for a time, their struggles to make money, even losing their homes, leads them back to a life of crime.

This segment takes two characters only designed to be minor obstacles for Invincible, and

Although they do return to crime in the comics, it's only after laying low until they're running out of money for groceries.

During his first fight against Angstrom Levi, Mark struggles against his portals to alternate worlds.

He is sent through multiple terrible dimensions and eventually becomes trapped.

So during their next encounter, the series shows that he has learned from his mistakes.

After the world is left devastated by the alternate versions of Invincible, the hero seeks out Levy for justice.

This fight, like many others, was expanded on from page to screen in unique ways.

Specifically, Mark shows much greater control of his speed and flight, deftly avoiding falling into the same trap.

Neither is the extensive training sequence the season opens up with, but

both serve to visually show the hero growing more capable.

The Alternate marks Speaking of those alternate versions of Mark, the show naturally got to include a lot more when it came to their personalities.

This is shown clearly during individual fights against them, but

since the comic event is much shorter, most of them only ever get to say one or two lines if they speak at all.

One of the biggest differences comes during a scene with the eight surviving Invincibles.

We get bits and pieces of their characterization and their motivation for agreeing to help Angstrom attack Mark's world.

In the comics, they're all simply evil, only wanting to expand their empires into other dimensions.

The show set out to make them all feel different.

In between seasons one and two of Invincible, Amazon released a special dedicated to Atom Eve.

It showed her origins, revealing how she was the product of a government program to produce genetically engineered superhumans.

While the story mostly followed the events of the two issue comic, there are some notable differences.

Eve's childhood friend Val, who ends their friendship upon learning of Eve's powers, is an original character.

It's a bit more clear in the comics that Eve was made by the Global Defense Agency since Donald makes an appearance.

And during the fight against her siblings, Eve gets a chance to be far more creative with her powers.

You'll teach me and we'll go fight bad guys.

Some time passes between seasons two and three, and

one way it shows this is through Oliver's literal growth.

Although he ages quickly in the comics as well, there's still a toddler phase.

His character growth and even personality is also different in the comics.

He speaks more proper and matter of factly.

The adaptation shows him to act more like a kid, even taking up skateboarding with some friends, a scene original to the show.

Another key difference is how he takes the lives of the Mauler twins.

Where the comic shows him as cold, the series has him more emotional.

I saw the news and I thought you might be hurt so I tried to help you and now you're mad at me.

24 Powerplex's motivation Appearing in episode six of season three, Powerplex seeks vengeance against Invincible over the death of his sister during The Heroes Season 1 fight against Omni Man.

While this is his motivation, in the comic, the show reveals his sister was a woman Invincible specifically failed to save.

It also gave her a daughter to make things even sadder and showed the destruction from Powerplex's perspective and with an opening flashback.

Powerplex's plan also came with some new additions, including a confrontation with Atom Eve at a memorial for those who lost their lives during the event.

The show also implies the plan to stage Powerplex's wife and son as hostages was his wife's idea, not his, like in the comics.

All the other Viltrumites are scared of me.

The Viltrumite threat that was promised at the end of season two shows up at the end of season three, and

Conquest certainly lived up to fan expectations.

He is vicious, unrelenting, and fights with absolute joy for violence.

The fight plays out more or less the same way, although Eve does get more to do, but

by far the biggest difference is Conquest's admission about how lonely he is to Mark.

He tells him about how his brutality has caused other Viltrumites to fear him, even though his actions serve their purpose.

He only admits this since he thinks he's about to kill Mark, but

it adds a nice layer to the villain beyond his sheer strength.

Take it to your grave, Number 22 multipools prison break I was just trying to give you a way out.

You really think I could just leave the Order even if I wanted to?

Just like your gda, they don't abandon tools they're not done with yet.

Episode five of season three dealt with Dupli Kate's villainous brother Multipol and his ties to organization known as the Order.

Much of this episode was entirely new, including the Siblings power stemming from an ancient family curse, and

In the episode's aftermath, Multipaul's prison break, which was a pretty minor event across a couple of pages, was a much larger set piece on the show.

Not only did we actually get to see Paul using his abilities instead of just waiting to get broken out, but

but the conflict was much more involved since Eve was there to help Invincible in the fight.

Number 21 Damien Dark Blood what do you want?

Same as you discover clues Catch Killer as you might have been able to guess, the demon detective known as Damian Darkblood is a parody of Dark Horse's Hellboy.

He tries to solve the mystery behind the murder of the Guardians of the Globe, but

is unsuccessful and treated like a joke before disappearing.

Obviously that isn't the case in the show.

He's actually competent and is on Omni Man's trail before Cecil sends him back to Hell the show isn't done with him either.

He appeared in a mid credits scene during the season three finale.

Here he summoned a demon lord and promised the vessel of a powerful surface dweller.

Teasing future appearances unknown even to comic readers, have discovered means of conjuring him here.
