Owen Patrick Cooper was born on December 5, 2009, in Warrington, England. The third son of a nanny mother and an IT father, Owen wanted to be a footballer. However, after seeing Tom Holland's performance in the film “The Impossible,” he decided to pursue acting. A big fan of Tom Holland, Cooper began taking drama lessons. Stephen Graham, co-producer of the murder-themed series, was looking for an unknown British face for this role. Selected from over 500 auditions, Cooper's first project was filmed between July and October 2024. The series, which aired in March 2025, made a splash worldwide. Renowned critic Evening Standard wrote, “This performance is the best debut performance by a child actor to date.” With his series, which aired in early 2025, he won an Emmy Award at the end of 2025, earning him the title of “Youngest Person to Win an Emmy Award in History.” Almost immediately after, Cooper also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor, becoming world-famous with two major awards before reaching adulthood. Lacking the high ego often found in his peers, Cooper responded to reporters' questions at the awards ceremony, “What will you do after the ceremony?” with, “I'll go to school after I sleep.” Following Adolescence, Cooper appeared in supporting roles in the Film Club series, Whispering Hills, and Cry to Heaven. He also featured in a music video released in 2025 and has won a total of 11 awards, including an Emmy and a Golden Globe.

Mark Grayson is a normal high school freshman with a normal part-time job whose father, Nolan Grayson, is an extraterrestrial of the planet Viltrum (with humanoid forms similar to Kryptonians) known as Omni-Man, the most powerful superhero on the planet. At age seventeen, Mark begins to display super powers as a result of his Viltrumite ancestry. According to Nolan, the Viltrumite race pioneers the entire cosmos on a mission of benevolence and enlightenment. Initially the first three volumes focus on Mark as Invincible, who begins working as a superhero with his father acting as his mentor, and meeting other heroes (including Robot, Rex Splode, Dupli-Kate and Atom Eve). His exploits range from discovering that his physics teacher has been turning his students into human bombs, to foiling a plan by the Mauler Twins to make an army of robots. Meanwhile, Omni-Man kills the Guardians of the Globe in order to prepare Earth for the Viltrumite empire's impending invasion, leading Mark to battle his father. Story arcs that follow this range from Mark traveling to alternate dimensions and battling villains like Angstrom Levy to facing off against Thragg, the emperor of the Viltrumite Empire, to determine the fate of Earth.
