Invincible isn't exactly shy when it comes to skewering the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of superhero media. Darkwing is clearly a Batman stand-in, while the second season smartly sidestepped the comics' Spider-Man crossover with a legally distinct wallcrawler.
One that may have slipped by, however, is the background character of Two-Punch Man.
While the supervillain may have momentarily had the upper hand during his ploy to capture all of America's superheroes near the Earth's lava-spewing crust, the arrival of Mark, Eve, and former villain D.A. Sinclair – a point of contention between Invincible and the GDA, to put it mildly – helped turn the tide.
For the uninitiated, One-Punch Man – real name Saitama – is a hero from the manga of the same name. Later adapted into an anime, One-Punch Man stands out from the crowd due to his hilariously overmatched powers compared to his villains – something that leads to Saitama searching for a worthy foe to fight.
