Invincible Creator Teases More Spin-Off Episodes Like Atom Eve & 3 Possible Names

Before Invincible made his return, Amazon Studios released a fantastic little one-off detailing the life of Atom Eve (Gillian Jacobs) in "Invincible: Atom Eve," exploring the origins of one of the show's most powerful heroes. Brief as it was, it quenched the thirst for fans until they returned to the world of Viltrumites, secret agencies, and families ripped apart by secret identities on top of secret identities in the 2nd season. Now, it's been confirmed by the original creator of the comic the show is based on, Robert Kirkman, that it might not be the only spin-off story squeezed into the epic animated show.

Speaking to Variety about the future of Mark Grayson (Steve Yeun) and his pals, Kirkman admitted that more characters might get some time in the spotlight further down the line. "We don't want to do anything that distracts from the production of the actual show. But depending on how well Season 2 is received, it would be nice to be able to do that," he said. 

Given the warm welcome the 2nd season has already received from fans and critics (earning an incredible 100% on Rotten Tomatoes), it seems like there'll be no issue with that coming to pass. "There is such a large cast, it would be great to be able to focus on individual characters every now and then, just to give people more insight into who these characters are," Kirkman continued. The question is, which characters are worth the attention?

When asked which specific super and not-so-super individuals would be worth looking into with an "Invincible" spin-off, Robert Kirkman did not confirm anything. Still, he did share some ideas about what it could entail. "There was some Rex Splode exploration in the comics that might be fun to do. Monster Girl is another character that has an interesting backstory," Kirkman mused.

In the massive 144-issue comic, Kirkman's tale branches off on plenty of occasions from the Grayson family saga and those pulled into it. Excluding Atom Eve, Rex Splode, and Monster Girl, plenty of characters in the world of "Invincible" have yet to appear but have their own comic book runs. To name a few, there's the invulnerable Brit, Astounding Wolf-Man, and Tech Jacket, who is somewhere between Iron Man and Green Lantern. 

There's also the most complex and shady character of the "Invincible" universe, Cecil Stedman, voiced by Walton Goggins. Speaking about the character for potential future spin-off plans, Kirkman said, "There's a lot of stuff with Cecil that people don't necessarily know that would be fun, and it'd be great to work with Walton Goggins. But yeah, I mean, there's a bunch of different characters out there. We'll see!"
