The creator of Invincible recently shared the reason behind giving Mark Grayson a new blue and black suit in Season 3.
The third season of the successful animated show made its debut on February 6, 2025, on Amazon Prime Video. Based on its early reviews, Invincible Season 3 has already become another hugely successful part of the ongoing comic book adaptation, thanks in part to some new twists to the story.
Robert Kirkman on why Invincible gets a darker suit in Season 3
In a recent interview with Russ Milheim of The Direct, the creator of the Invincible comics, Robert Kirkman, disclosed the reason why Mark Grayson got a new costume in Invincible Season 3.
Milheim brought up Mark’s new black and blue suit from Invincible Season 3 at the beginning of the interview and emphasized how fans are comparing this new costume to Spider-Man’s symbiote suit, asserting the suit symbolizes the “darker era” of Mark’s life.
In reply, Kirkman explained that the reason behind the new suit in Invincible Season 3 is “the tropes of the comic industry.” He further explained, “The superhero getting the new costume is something that happens in almost every superhero story.”
Kirkman then spoke further about how the idea resembled the introduction of a new suit for Spider-Man. He elaborated, “There’s a lot of stories that come from that change and Spider-Man is a good example of that. The kind of darkness that comes from that change and the emergence of Venom as a clear villain that comes from that is a really cool addition to the mythos of [Spider-Man].”
He further stated that Mark will have “a lot of worthy additions” to his story and beliefs which will be reflected in his new suit.
The next episode of Invincible Season 3 will be released on February 13.
