Mark Grayson is, by all appearances, a regular American teenager struggling with the usual adolescent concerns of schoolwork and girlfriends. However, he has a secret - his dad is Omni-Man - the most powerful superhero on Earth. When Mark turns seventeen he also gains superpowers - flight, super strength and all round invincibility, so he assumes his superhero soubriquet of ... INVINCIBLE!.
This is a fun superhero romp, with some fun twists along the way. It's not quite superheroes in the real world in the style of Alan Moore, but the fights are noticeably bloodier and more impactful than typical superhero comics. Invincible and his super team mates regularly get pummelled to a pulp and costumes usually end getting shredded and needing replacing.
I mainly picked this up out of interest because I am looking forward to playing the licenced RPG from Free League which is based on this setting, but it is generic enough that it could easily be adapted to any superheroic setting without too much work.
